Abstract: A device for feeding one or more substances thixotroping a liquid to a container for storing said liquid, is characterized in that the device comprises a tank containing thixotroping substances, a feeding means for transportation of the thixotroping substances from the tank into the container which contains the liquid, and a pressure generating means for generating a pressure gradients in the thixotroping substances within the feeding means which is directed from the tank to the container. By means of the device according to the invention thixotroping substances can be fed into fluid within the container, in order to prevent discharging and leakage respectively under certain defined circumstances.

Abstract: A tank (10) for storing a liquid with a device (11, 12) for feeding one or more substances thixotroping the liquid to the liquid in the tank (10) is characterised in that the device (11, 12) is designed so that it feeds the thixotroping substance or substances to the liquid in the tank (10) as a result of a signal from a signal transmitter, so that the liquid completely thixotropes, at least in a closed outer layer inside the tank (10) that cannot be penetrated by a residue of the liquid, not thixotroped if necessary. This ensures that by simple means the liquid present in the tank (10) is pretended from being discharged or from escaping under certain defined conditions, particularly in emergency situations.

Abstract: A stone-glass element having at least one stone plate (2) and a supporting plate (1), comprising at least one glass pane which is bonded “large area” to said stone plate by means of a transparent or opaque cast resin layer (4), with the surface of the stone plate opposite of the supporting plate being provided with a moisture-repellant cover layer (7) or a cover plate (3), is characterized in that the stone plate comprises a capillary cut (15) in parallel to at least one side edge being filled with a sealing compound which prevents a moisture diffusion (6) towards the stone plate's (2) interior. It is thus possible to prevent by simple means moisture from diffusing into the stone's interior in case of a stone-glass element of the above-mentioned type to preclude heavy consequential damage from happening. In the process a visual or esthetical impairment, respectively, of the element is to be minimal, if possible, and the technical expense is to preclude considerable cost increases.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cast resin mixture for bonding substantially sheet-shaped elements, such as glass pane or the like, with a content of at least one non-functionalized acrylic and/or methacrylic ester and at least one functionalized alkyl ester of (meth)acrylic acid, optionally at least one plasticizer, optionally at least one cross-linking agent, optionally at least one primer and optionally at least one polymerization initiator. To improve this cast resin mixture in versatility of use and ease of handling, and to allow glass panes and the like to be bonded to one another reliably and durably, while optionally embedding function elements the acrylic and/or methacrylic ester(s) comprise(s) at least one constituent from the following group: all branched and unbranched saturated aliphatic (meth)acrylic esters, in particular methyl-, ethyl-, n-propyl-, iso-propyl-, n-butyl-, iso-butyl-, sec-butyl-, tert-butyl- and 2-ethyl-1-hexyl-(meth)acrylic esters.

Abstract: A glass laminate comprising panes of glass held together by a bonding layer is provided with an edge seal by the drying of an ethylene polymer emulsion such that the emulsion thins out along the edge of the glass panes.

Abstract: In a structural element, in particular a facade element with an outside plate sandwich, in which solar cells are arranged between an outer plate and an inner plate, and with another internal plate, which is provided at a distance from the plate sandwich by means of a spacing frame defining the interior, the solar cells are embedded in a layer of casting resin; furthermore, the inner plate recedes in its dimensions in the region of at least one edge at least partially with respect to the corresponding edge of the outer plate and forms thus a recess that also reaches over the layer of casting resin and through which the necessary electrical lines are guided, whereby the recess in the direction of the interior of the structural element is covered by the spacing frame. As an alternative, the outer plate can recede with respect to the inner plate.
