Publication number: 20240077157Abstract: A profiled clamp having a first profiled clamp half and a second profiled clamp half, by means of which two flange parts can be connected to one another with the application of an axial force. A first tightening head is formed at one end of the first clamp half and a second tightening head is formed at one end of the second clamp half in order to form a tightening device. The ends of the clamp halves which are located opposite the tightening heads are connected to one another by means of an articulated connection. The articulated connection is formed from a mechanically machined or formed flat strip section. As a result, the flat strip section has an increased flexibility and/or a defined flexibility adapted to the intended application and can thus be mounted more easily.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2021Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Gerrit von Breitenbach, Belal Akremi, Tatjana Rumbauskiene, Mateusz Jarosz, Jorge Marques

Patent number: 11905978Abstract: A jet pump comprising a jet nozzle for accelerating a propellant. The jet nozzle has a convergent inlet part and an outlet part connected to the convergent inlet part. The outlet comprises an inner wall diverging at an opening angle. The opening angle is designed such that a propellant flowing through the outlet part at subsonic speed is detached from the inner wall and a propellant flowing through the outlet part at supersonic speed is guided by the inner wall. An automatic, cost-effective and simple changeover of the jet pump to different pressure ratios is hence provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Norma Germany GmbHInventors: Daniel Kintea, Lukasz Gabrys, Christian Kahl, Gerrit von Breitenbach, Michal Sajdak
