Technical Examples
- A book on demand system for manufacturing a set books. The system includes an order placement system and a book manufacturing system. The order placement system includes a computer and a database for storing books in an electronic form. A customer can operate the computer to access the database and to select a set of books to purchase. In addition, the customer can define the storage space will be used to store the set of books. The computer responds to this customer input by manufacturing the set of books so that the books can be placed physically within the storage space.
- A pair of elongate holding devices (7a, 7c) extending along opposite sides of an imaginary rectangle have respective longitudinal recesses (12, 21) which hold respective edge portions (6a, 6c) of a poster (6). One holding device (7c) has a fixed bearing member (16) and a movable member (18) which contains the recess (21) and which is pivotable about a pivot axis (19) from an active position, in which the recess (21) is open in a direction away from the opposite holding device so that the poster (6) tums back on itself near the edge portion (6c), the poster being under tension between the pair of holding devices, to a passive position, in which tension in the poster is released sufficiently to allow the edge portion (6c) to be removed from the recess (21). The holding device (7a) is preferably an upper holding device with an undercut slot (12) slidably receiving a bead (14) at the upper edge portion (6a) of the poster. The movable member (18) has wings cooperating with cylindrical bearing surfaces on the fixed bearing member (16) to ensure that no excessive local stress is applied to the holding device (7c).
- For the purpose of delivering, in the lying-flat condition, book blocks or books which are fed in, standing on their back or on the front cut and at defined timing intervals along their height, from a preceding machine in a transport path, provision is made, according to the method, for the books to be picked up, in accordance with the timing, in the transport path, swung out transversely to the direction of infeed and transferred into a defined delivery position which is spaced apart from the transport path, and is essentially a lying-flat position and from which said books can be fed to subsequent machines synchronously with the timing. The device for performing the method includes a continuously driven clamping conveyer consisting of traction means conveyers which act counter to one another and clamp the books in between them and convey them as far as the picking-up position, a transporting band which still carries the books even in the picking-up position, at least one gripper which clamps the books in the picking-up position and, after the picking-up operation, swings them into the delivery position spaced apart from the transport path and deposits the said books at that point, and a belt conveyer which feeds the books out of said delivery position.
- The present invention provides a sheet material (2) comprising a first fold line and a second fold line, the first and second fold lines being defined by a series of at least partial perforations (4,8) in the sheet material (2), wherein there is one or fewer at least partial perforations at an intersection of the first fold line and the second fold line.
- A convoluted boot for sealing an annular gap between two parts which are connected to one another in a rotationally fast way, which can be articulated relative to one another and which are axially displaceable relative to one another, especially of a constant velocity plunging joint, consisting of includes a low-strain polymer hard material having a first larger collar (11) to be secured to a first component, a second smaller collar (12) to be secured to a second component and a plurality of annular fold units which extend between the first collar and the second collar and which, in the form of the outer folds consisting of have two annular flanks (31, 32), and form a fold peak (21) between two fold valleys (22). In a first group (A) of at least three annular folds with a connection to the first collar 11 annular folds, the diameters of the fold peaks (21) and fold valleys (22) decrease in the direction from the first collar to the second collar. In a second group (B) of annular folds with a connection to the second collar 12 of at least one fold, the diameters of the fold valleys and, optionally, of the fold peaks (21) are constant. The ratio of the diameter (D1) of the fold peak (21) of the largest annular fold (A1) of the first group (A) to the diameter (D2) of the second collar (12) is greater than or equal to 2.5.
