  • Patent number: 11761414
    Abstract: A contacting device of a voltage transmission device of an ignition device of a large engine, whose cylinders have piston diameters of at least 140 mm having a first spring portion for the electrical contacting of a cable contacting piece of the voltage transmission device and a second spring portion for the electrical contacting of a spark plug connection of a spark-plug of the ignition device. The second spring portion tapers in a direction of its end, which comes to lie against the spark-plug connector of the spark-plug. The spark-plug connector of the spark-plug interacting with the contacting device includes a trough into which the contacting device can be introduced with a spring portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7740639
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the endoscopic application of self-closing medical clips (3), in particular, for arresting internal bleeding. The distal end of a catheter tube (1) is introduced into the body of a living being to be treated. Several clips (3), arranged successively in the catheter tube (1), are pushed forward in the direction of the tube distal end by a user device located at the proximal end of the catheter tube (1). The foremost clip (3) to be applied is pushed out of the distal end and opened by an actuation device. The actuation device includes an actuation element (21) which can be actuated by the user device, moved longitudinally into the catheter tube (1), and acts on the first front clip (3), as well as a control part (25) which converts the actuation force of the actuation element into an opening movement of the legs (5) of the clip (3).
