  • Patent number: 7676854
    Abstract: This invention relates to a helmet, comprising an external shell (9) and an impact-absorbing helmet liner (10) in which the helmet liner comprises a layer provided with protruding, deformable and impact-absorbing hollow knobs (7) distributed on an substantial part of the surface of the helmet liner as a protective layer. The helmet is characterized in that the hollow knots (7) are arranged for deformation by crushing in case of external impact on the helmet, and that the helmet liner (10) with the hollow knots (7) exhibits undercut. The helmet may also comprise an impact-absorbing and preferably resilient layer (2) which may be arranged between the external shell (9) and an internal lining (11) being arranged to rest in contact with the head of a user.

  • Patent number: 6802537
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for height adjustment of the upper attachment point of a safety belt, arranged in a vehicle with a vehicle seat which is spring-mounted in the vertical direction, where the upper attachment point is arranged displaceably in the vertical direction on the body of the vehicle. Said height adjustment takes place as a function of the springing movement of the vehicle seat, which results in the upper attachment point always remaining correctly positioned in the vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 5579202
    Abstract: An air-core transformer device for supplying a high-frequency, pulsating DC voltage on the secondary side of the transformer. The primary side of the transformer has two windings which are bifilar-wound having a mutual phase relationship of 180.degree., where the end of the first winding is connected in series with the beginning of the second winding at a common junction point. The voltage supply on the primary side is controlled by a time-set or time-variable power control signal at the beginning of the first winding and at the end of the second winding. A DC voltage is supplied to the common junction point. Two oscillatory circuits are formed on the primary side by a frequency control signal supplied over a field effect transistor, and are maintained by two capacitors C1 and C2, C1 being connected in parallel with the first winding and C2 being connected in parallel with the second primary winding.

  • Patent number: 5522311
    Abstract: A device for compacting empty beverage containers of metal or plastics is provided with a substantially wedge formed container receiving space. Compactor elements subject the container to gradually increasing compacting forces as it moves through the container receiving space. The container is then engaged and punctured by puncturing elements as the container moves through the container receiving space. The compactor elements include a pair of mutually inclined, cooperative endless belts of a flexible material having a container engageable front surface and a rear side. The engaging and puncturing elements include a plurality of metal studs provided in the front surface of each of the belts along the length thereof.
