  • Patent number: 5909711
    Abstract: The bogie contains a bogie frame supported on two wheel sets with a coupling device via which the two wheel sets are coupled to one another so as to be steerable in opposite senses. The coupling device contains an additional adjustment device for the transmission of adjustment forces by which a steering movement in the same sense can be transmitted to each of the wheel sets independent of and superimposed on their oppositely directed settings. In this way an influence can be exerted on the shear movement between the wheel sets independently of the bending stiffness between the wheel sets and thus an ideal reaction of the bogie to the respectively arising free lateral acceleration can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 4879887
    Abstract: The washing machine has a prewash chamber (11), a clear wash chamber (2), and a rinse chamber (3) in a tube (4). The chambers are separated from each other by separating walls (5, 6) having transfer openings. During the cycle period, which is defined by successive transfers of the laundry from one respective chamber (1, 2, 3) to the next, the rinse water in the rinse chamber (3) is changed more than once. The first rinse water is collected in a tank (47) and heated to the clear wash temperature during the cycle period. Before the end of the cycle the prewash water is drained from the prewash chamber (1) and the preheated clear wash water is filled into the prewash chamber (1). At the end of the cycle, the prewashed laundry together with the clear wash water passes into the clear wash chamber (2). This chamber can be heated via a steam connector fitting (43).
