Abstract: A split ring assembly method includes rotating a drive spindle within the bore of a cylindrical housing, the spindle having a drive pin adapted to engage the gap in one face of the split ring positioned axially on one end of the spindle to rotate the ring. An opening wedge is biased into engagement with the opposite face of the split ring and has an edge positioned to enter the other ring gap in response to ring rotation to cause the ring to progressively open along its split.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a bandlike-elongated, spring-elastic element (12) for supporting a rubber-elastic wiper strip (22) of a windshield wiper for vehicles, which element has two spring rails (26, 28), located with a spacing (24) from one another and essentially parallel to one another, which at least on both of their end portions are solidly joined together by transverse ribs (30) that are disposed on the one band face (14) of the spring rails and that span the spacing (24). An especially advantageous production method for such a support element is obtained in that the prefabricated spring rails (26, 28) are solidly joined together in pairs and oriented essentially parallel to one another by means of at least one bandlike retaining element (44) oriented transversely to the spring rails; that the gridlike combination (54) thus obtained is subjected to at least one further method step, by which, by cutting the retaining element (44) between the applicable pairs of spring rails (26, 28), the support elements (12) are released from the combination (54).

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for applying clips to mattress spring assemblies in a highly accurate and fast manner via operating or positioning members that properly position the innerspring coils relative to the borderwires for clipping thereof. Improperly positioned innersprings have their end coils shifted past the borderwires as they travel downstream to be clipped by the apparatus and method herein. In this manner, the positioning members are operable to use the progression of the spring assemblies as they are driven downstream to properly position the innerspring coils relative to the borderwires for being clipped thereto. Preferably, there is at least one positioning member disposed upstream from the clip applicator tool such as in a positioning station that acts to cause the end turns of the mattress innerspring coils as the innersprings move into engagement therewith, to progressively shift into the predetermined clipping orientation that is necessary for proper clipping of the end turns to the borderwires. The positioning member does not have to be cycled between operative and inoperative positions for each clip that is applied thus speeding the overall clipping process for the spring assembly.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to method for setting a formed helical compression spring. At the out set, parameters are measured to determine a reaction force axis of a formed helical compression spring. Next, A target reaction force axis of the spring is compared with the reaction force axis determined by the measured parameters to provide an error between the target reaction force axis and the detected reaction force axis. Then, a tilt angle of at least one of the compression plates tilted to an end plane of the spring is provided, in at least one direction on a plane including a coil axis of the spring, on the basis of the error between the target reaction force axis and the detected reaction force axis. Then, at least one of the compression plates is actuated to pressurize the spring, with at least one of the compression plates tilted to the end plane of the spring by the tilt angle.

Abstract: The method for manufacturing a torsion bar shoulder bearing has four method steps: (1) the manufacture of a elastomeric spring as a not fully vulcanized molding for receiving a sleeve-shaped or bolt-shaped inner connecting part in a central bore and an outer sleeve-shaped connecting element; (2) the pretreatment of the surface regions, to be connected to the molding, of the connecting parts by means of an adhesive system; (3) the pushing of the molding onto the inner connecting part and the insertion of the molding thus reinforced into the outer connecting part (or in the opposite sequence), as a result of which the elastomeric molding is clamped under moderate prestress between the two connecting parts, and (4) the concluding full vulcanization of the elastomeric molding in the assembled bearing, using a tempering furnace, at temperatures of below 140 to 150° C.
