  • Patent number: 10563391
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for forming cavities in the ground for water drainage and/or water storage. Said device comprises a cube- or cuboid-shaped installation body (10), which has a front side (42) and an opposite back side (44), a top side (20) and an opposite bottom side (18), and two opposite lateral sides (22). The front side (42), the back side (44), the top side (20), the bottom side (18), and the lateral sides (22) have strand elements (14) arranged parallel or substantially parallel to each other. In the corner regions of the installation body (10) between the top or bottom side (20, 18) and one of the lateral sides (22), corner connecting elements (12) for the insertion connection of the strand elements (14) of the top side (20) or of the bottom side (18) to the strand elements of the lateral side (22) are arranged.

  • Publication number: 20190226693
    Abstract: The invention relates to an insert element for inserting into a device for humidifying, cleaning and/or cooling a fluid, in particular a gas, such as, for example, air, said insert element comprising an insert body (10) which can be wetted with a liquid, in particular water, and through which a gas, in particular air, can flow and which has a flow inlet side and a flow outlet side and, between said sides, is provided with regions which can be wetted by the liquid and can be exposed to the fluid. The insert body (10) has a multi-layered design and has a number of undulated grid-type plate elements (12) which bear against one another, are limited by an edge (14, 16) and are provided with elevations and depressions. A film-type plate element (19, 19?) is mounted between at least two adjacent grid plate elements (12). The film-type plate element (19, 19?) is perforated.

  • Patent number: 8753037
    Abstract: The device is provided with a plurality of intermediate grid plate elements (12) with a top and a bottom surface, which are adapted to be positioned one on top of the other. Each intermediate grid plate element (12) comprises a grate strutting (18, 19) as well as a plurality of support members (20) which are distributed, in particular in a regular manner, over the intermediate grid plate element (12), wherein said support members (20) extend between the bottom face and the top face of an element in a direction substantially transverse to the extension of the intermediate grid plate elements (12) and are supported on the support members (20) of an adjacent intermediate grid plate element (12) arranged below a respective intermediate grid plate element (12), and support the support members (20) of an adjacent intermediate grid plate element (12) arranged above said respective intermediate grid plate element (12).
