In the internal milling machine according to the invention for milling a work piece that rotates during machining with an annular internal milling cutter () on the one hand side the Z slide () of each tool support () includes a pass through opening and on the other hand side the transversal slide () supporting the internal milling cutter () is move able in the X-direction, the running direction of the mounting surface () of the bed () wherein the mounting surface slopes downward in a forward direction. Based on this general configuration and in particular the arrangement of the Z-slides () for the at least one tool support () outside of the Z-supports () for the opposite spindle stock (') yields advantageous centers of gravity in particular of the move able components and a high level of stability of the machine and therefore high level of machining precision of the machine.

Internal milling machine

A conditioning device to change the moisture content of printing stock, in which the stock is brought into contact with at least one endless cloth that absorbs moisture. The endless cloth is heated by heated transport rolls. A reduction of the moisture content contributes to a reduction of distortions of the printing image in two-sided printing, especially in digital printing machines.

Conditioning device to change the moisture content of printing stock

An apparatus for transporting and delivering individual sheets ( ) within a final processing unit ( ) downstream from a printing or copying unit ( ). In the final processing unit ( ) an input transport roller pair ( ) is followed by a sheet transport track ( ) having a stop surface ( ) for lateral registration of the sheets ( ) passing through, a working delivery surface ( ) having a stop surface ( ) for end-surface registration of the sheets ( ) being arranged at the end of the sheet transport track ( ). Arranged after the working delivery surface ( ) is a final delivery container for the individual sheets or sheet stacks, which extends at a 90&deg; angle to the sheet transport track ( ).

Apparatus for transporting and delivering individual sheets

The degree of wear of the paper transport roller (10) is checked by means of a reflected light barrier (40). To that end, the paper transport roller (10) comprises two layers (13 and 15) applied to the core of the paper transport roller (10). The two layers (13 and 15) differ in their degree of reflection for electromagnetic radiation. The layers (13 and 15) are applied to the paper transport roller (10) such that the inner layer (13) has a lower degree of reflection than the outer layer (15). The inner layer (13) is advantageously black and the outer layer (15) white. When the outer layer (15) is worn as a result of the friction between the single sheet (30) to be transported and the paper transport roller (10), the inner layer (13) gradually comes into contact with the single sheets. The degree of reflection of the surface of the paper transport roller (10) then also changes in the same way and is determined using a reflected light barrier (40). The user is therefore signaled that the paper transport roller (10) must be replaced.

Device for determining the degree of wear of a paper transport roller

A watertight photographic single-use camera having a first and a second body shell that join together. The body shells comprise rigid polymer material and are adapted to receive a film transport device, a lens, a flash unit and a viewfinder. The first body shell forms the camera front section and the second body shell forms the camera rear section. A sealing means comprising an elastic polymer material is attached to an edge of at least one body shell that forms a joint and to at least one edge that forms a body opening. The elastic polymer material is attached by a multiple-component injection molding process and is connected to the body shell by chain looping (molecular entanglement) of the polymer material. As a result, the camera is dependably sealed against water and yet is inexpensive and simple to produce. For simple recyclability, the body shells can be crushed using known devices without separation of the polymer materials, with the resultant material mix being usable as a feedstock for the manufacture of new camera components.

Watertight photographic single-use camera having elastic polymer seal

A watertight body for accommodating a photographic camera. The body has a first and a second body shell of rigid polymer material that can be joined together for accommodating a photographic camera. The body has sealing means comprising elastic polymer material provided by a multiple-component injection molding process on an edge of at least one body shell that forms the joint and on surface areas of the body shells. The elastic polymer material is connected to the body shell by chain looping (molecular entanglement) of the polymer materials. The result is that the body is reliably sealed against water and is nevertheless inexpensive and simple to manufacture. For a simple and correspondingly inexpensive recyclability of the body, the body shells can be crushed without separation of the polymer materials using known devices, with the resultant material mix being usable as an admixture for the manufacture of new camera components.

Watertight body for accommodating a photographic camera

The invention relates to a photographic camera with a watertight body for receiving a film transport and film guidance unit, an object lens (13) and a viewfinder unit. Weatheproofing and watertightness are achieved in that the body comprises two body shells whose parting line formed in the assembled state is sealed by an all-round sealing means designed as an elastic endless weatherstrip visible from the outside.
