  • Patent number: 11931759
    Abstract: A portable dispensing system for dispensing a solution of a fluid and a solid product includes a fluid line, a dispenser, and a cartridge. The fluid line includes a first and second fluid line ends and a fluid source connection at the first fluid line end. The dispenser is at the second fluid line end. The dispenser includes a body and a fluid outlet. The cartridge houses the solid product and includes a fluid inlet and a solution outlet. The cartridge is removably connected at the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet of the dispenser. The cartridge is configured to receive fluid from the fluid outlet of the dispenser such that fluid contacts the solid product housed in the cartridge and dissolves at least a portion of the solid product forming the solution. The cartridge is also configured to output the solution at the solution outlet.

  • Patent number: 11171457
    Abstract: A brush holder for slipring brushes comprises a brush mount held by a lever at a base. The lever is connected by a base pivot to the base and is pivotable in a plane orthogonal to a brush mount pivot axis and/or to a slipring rotation axis. A spring is provided between the base and the lever. The brush mount is connected to the lever by a brush mount pivot pivotable in said plane. The brush mount holds a first brush and a second brush wherein the brush mount pivot is between the first brush and the second brush.

  • Patent number: 10833467
    Abstract: A sliding brush assembly for a slipring includes a sliding brush and an absorbing device containing absorbing material attached to the sliding brush, such that the at least one sliding brush is enclosed by the absorbing material. The absorbing device includes a housing with two (optionally identical) housing parts (each having an elongated base with a snap arm at one side and at the opposing side an opening, into which the snap-arm fits). The housing may easily be closed around a sliding brush by snapping two housing parts together.

  • Patent number: 10396516
    Abstract: A slipring assembly comprises a slipring module having at least one slipring track which is in electrical contact with at least one slipring brush. The slipring module includes an isolating body holding the at least one slipring track. Furthermore a heating element is embedded in the slipring module to generate heat within the slipring module and to increase the temperature of the at least one slipring track. This allows increasing the temperature of the slipring module to an optimum operation temperature and further to remove humidity from the surface of the slipring track.

  • Patent number: 9093808
    Abstract: A slip ring device for the electrical connection of two mutually rotatable parts includes one or more slideways each with at least one V-groove. At least two wire brushes are provided which run in (are configured to extend into) the V-grooves. The wire brushes are electrically connected to each other and are mounted on at least two different brush blocks which are mechanically decoupled from one another. Increased insensitivity to vibrations and mechanical impacts can be achieved in this way.

  • Patent number: 8986053
    Abstract: A slip ring brush includes a holding device made of two U-shaped holding plates inserted into each other. A holding plate includes clamping fingers which, disposed opposite of one another in pairs, form cavities that accommodate brush wires. The brush wires are tightly clamped inside these cavities by clamping fingers and are secured by additional clamping sleeves.
