At least one piston guide ring is provided in the area of torque transmission sleeves on the outer periphery of the latter adjacent an O-ring disposed in a groove, said piston guide ring being placed in the groove of said O-ring or in a separate groove and acting to provide a damping action in the circumferential direction and a sliding displacement of the armature plate in the axial direction.

Abstract: A torsionally rigid flexible shaft coupling, in particular, fully-steel shaft coupling, for transmitting torques between shafts, in particular shafts with axes which are offset relative to one another, having one or two plate packs (5) which are placed on flange sleeves (6) and on the latter, are clamped by means of a ring (4) against an end-side flange (65b) of the flange sleeve (6), wherein the plate packs are clamped in an alternating fashion in the peripheral direction to the sleeves (8) or second hubs (9), which face one another, by means of screws (7) which extend through the flange sleeves (6) and have nuts (2).

Abstract: A large number of small reflection portions are continuously formed over a back face of a base member opposite the light impinging side, in an arbitrary arrangement. The small reflection portions are each formed to have a boundary surface for reflection, interference, and diffraction of incident light impinging onto the base member, to thereby produce random changes in the brightness of reflection light over the entirety of the decoration panel. A reflection layer is formed on the boundary surfaces of the small reflection portions such that the boundary surfaces function as mirror surfaces and reflect light propagating through the base member toward the front face of the base member.

Abstract: A large number of small reflection portions are continuously formed over a back face of a base member opposite the light impinging side, in an arbitrary arrangement. The small reflection portions are each formed to have a boundary surface for reflection, interference, and diffraction of incident light impinging onto the base member, to thereby produce random changes in the brightness of reflection light over the entirety of the decoration panel. The small reflection portions have concave boundary surfaces having three-dimensional shape determined though imparting a 1/f fluctuation to a triangular-roof-like basic shape. When at least one of the direction of the incident light in relation to the base member, a viewing point in relation to the base member, and the position of the base member is changed, the small reflection portions generate an irregularly changing light-dark pattern in the brightness of reflection right from the small reflection portions.

Abstract: An electromagnetically released spring-loaded brake for cooperation with a motor or similar, with the manual release of the brake being effected in a tangential direction by means of a manual release lever 9, and with actuation of the manual release lever 9 causing armature disc 3 to be urged towards coil carrier 1 via three or more transmission levers 10 mounting rolls 16 and camming surfaces 14 on armature disc 3. As a result, the width of the air gap between armature disc 3 and coil carrier 1 is reduced so that rotor 6 with its hub 4 will be free to rotate between friction linings 7 on armature disc 3 and flange plate 8. The object was to create a lockable manual release feature the actuation of which requires a low manual force on manual release lever 9, is very flat and compact in structure, has a relatively small diameter and is actuated in a tangentional direction (FIG. 1).

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetically ventilating spring-pressure brake for mounting on the driving disk (15) or the driving disk shaft (16) of already existing elevators, which are operated with cables passing over a driving disk. The external-mounted brake (1) is situated concentric to the central axis of the driving disk (15) or driving disk shaft (16) on a separate base (23) of the structure on the free side (i.e. opposite the driving side) of the driving disk (15) and is fastened in a stationary and rotationally fixed manner. The rotor (5) of the brake (1) is connected in an essentially rotationally fixed manner to the free end of the driving disk (15) or of the driving disk shaft (16) in order to transmit the braking torque of the external-mounted brake to the driving disk (15).

Abstract: The invention relates to a caliper brake for a brake disc, in particular for elevator drives. Said brake comprises a brake body that is mounted on a fixed bolt (7) in a floating manner (1) and a brake caliper (2) that impinges on the brake disc (3) from the outer periphery of the latter, in addition to a solenoid (14) that is integrated into the brake body (1) to electromagnetically pull a spring-loaded armature disc (4) against the brake body (1). Said armature disc (4) and the section of the brake caliper (2) lying axially opposite are equipped with friction linings (5, 6) for engaging with the two end faces of the brake disc (3).

Abstract: An airbag apparatus for a vehicle includes an interior panel, an airbag; an inflater, a frame, and a pair of reinforcement members. When the airbag inflates, a fracture-opening section of the interior panel is ruptured and divided into two fracture-opening subsections, which are turned outward about hinge portions of the reinforcement members in a manner of a casement. Hinge motion restricting members are provided on the frame. When the fracture-opening subsections are turned, the hinge motion restricting members come into engagement with the hinge portions. This configuration eliminates interference between the fracture-opening subsections and the interior panel, which interference would otherwise occur when the fracture-opening subsections are opened in the manner of a casement.

Abstract: A nursing aid system which includes at least one breast cup and at least one nipple extender which may be integrally formed with the breast cup or which may comprise a separate piece. The breast cup has a concave breast receiving portion and a hollow generally cylindrical nipple receiving portion located on and projecting away from the breast receiving portion, the nipple receiving portion having a remote end which includes a milk delivery aperture. The nipple extender, if separately formed, may be slidably received in the nipple receiving portion of the breast cup and has an axial length less than the length of the nipple receiving portion. The nipple extender provides at least one flow channel for conducting milk from the mother's nipple to the milk delivery aperture and is preferably sized and configured to occupy most of the space in the nipple receiving portion of the breast cup which is not occupied by a mother's nipple.

An elastomeric stopper may be provided in the female Luer, the stopper having a swabbable end urged outwardly of the female Luer. The stopper is guided on an axially extending elongated flow conducting insert which has an end which contacts a deformable slit in the swabbable end of the stopper to ensure deformation and opening of the slot as a male Luer at the end of a fluid flowline is pushed against the stopper. The stopper skirt is deformed and displaced into annular space between the female Luer and the insert, the stopper having bellows like walls which engage the female Luer and insert.
