Publication number: 20240116804Abstract: A formulation usable to produce plates and shaped bodies has a base slip, quartz glass particles and multicomponent glass particles that are crystallizable or at least partly crystallized. The base slip contains water as dispersion medium with a content between 30% and 50% by weight and ultrafine SiO2 particles distributed, preferably colloidally therein, with a proportion between 50% and 70% by weight. The proportion of quartz glass particles in the formulation is in the range from 40% to 70% by weight and the proportion the multicomponent glass particles in the formulation is in the range from 5% to 37% by weight. The formulation can be used in a composite material. Firing aids can be made from the composite material.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: SCHOTT AGInventors: Manfred-Josef Borens, Frank Jürgen Druschke, Peter Franke, Michael Bug, Christian Kunert, Gerald Wasem, Joachim Dietrich Kehl

Publication number: 20230018520Abstract: An axially resilient press-in contact pin includes a metal body and an electrically conductive, elastic element. The metal body includes a pin-shaped section and a press-in spring. The press-in spring is on a first end of the pin-shaped section. The elastic element surrounds at least portions of the pin-shaped section and extends beyond a second end (i.e., free end region) of the pin-shaped section.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: KOSTAL Automobil Elektrik GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9475414Abstract: A head restraint assembly is provided with a head restraint frame mounted to a post for movement along the post for adjustment relative to a vehicle seat. The head restraint frame has a contact surface. A biasing member is mounted to the head restraint frame for movement relative to the head restraint frame to maintain the head restraint frame in a locked condition along the post. An actuation member is mounted to the head restraint frame for movement relative to the head restraint frame. The actuation member cooperates with the biasing member such that movement of the actuation member moves the biasing member, thereby disengaging the biasing member from the post to permit movement of the head restraint along the post such that the biasing member engages the contact surface in the second position to provide feedback to the user of an unlocked condition of the head restraint frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Karsten Mueller, Frank Kunert, Bernd Rolf Schwerma, Michael Menges, Klaus Lamecker

Publication number: 20150015049Abstract: A head restraint assembly is provided with at least one guide post fixedly mounted to a vehicle seat back so that the guide post does not translate relative to the seat back in an upright direction. A head restraint housing is mounted to translate in the upright direction along the guide post. A linear spindle extends in the upright direction and is mounted within the head restraint housing. A translation assembly is mounted to the linear spindle. A motor is connected to the translation assembly. Actuation of the motor moves the translation assembly and motor in relation to the linear spindle. At least one of the motor or linear spindle is fixed to the head restraint housing such that actuation of the motor translates the head restraint housing relative to the guide post.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2014Publication date: January 15, 2015Applicant: LEAR CORPORATIONInventors: Karsten MUELLER, Frank KUNERT, Michael RIEGER, Zdzislaw SOBIESKI
