Abstract: The invention relates to a system for an appointment robot (R), the system comprising a master module (MA) and a plurality of client modules (CA1, CA2, CA3). The master module (MA) is provided for the purpose of accessing diary entries and creating an appointment robot (R) with a parameter set (P) and command set (B) connected thereto and using a data network to transmit said appointment robot to one or more client modules (CA1, CA2, CA3) and receiving groups or lists of provisional appointment entries (T1, T2, T3) from each of the client modules (CA1, CA2, CA3) and evaluating said groups or lists in order to ascertain one or more diary bookings. The client modules (CA1, CA2, CA3) are provided for the purpose of each receiving an appointment robot (R) with parameter set (P) and command set (B) connected thereto from a master module (MA) and accessing diary entries and creating a group of provisional appointments (T1, T2, T3) and transmitting said group to the master modules (MA).

Abstract: A closed injection moulded plastic closure (20) having a first closure part and a second closure part (22). The first closure part is connected to the second closure part by snap-on hinged connection. The first and second closure parts have no main hinged connection with each other, but are connected to one another by two connecting elements and four hinged connections bordering the two connecting elements on nonadjacent sides. Coupling elements may serve as an original warranty seal for indicating opening for the first time. If required, a catch and a counter-element serve as a locking mechanism and prevent unintentional opening of the closure.

Abstract: A coordinated multi axis hinge arrangement provides a snap action between stable open and closed states. When the hinges operate between the stable open and closed states across a dead center position, resilient forces imparted by torsionally rigid connecting elements (33.1, 33.2) of the hinge to adjacent hinge parts such as body and lid elements are transferred by coupling or transmitting areas (45.1, 45.2) adjacent the bending regions (34.1-34.4) or film hinges to remote resilient deformation energy storage areas (40.1-40.3). As the inge passes a dead center position, this energy is in turn supplied and returned to the rigid connecting elements to impart snap action to the closure. The closure may be cast as a single piece of plastic material and may be cast in the open position.

Abstract: A resilient hinge arrangement does not utilize a principal hinge but instead includes at least two hinge parts. One or more tilting steps are arranged in series and are constructed from at least two connecting elements, each of which is formed by a rigid pressure element and a tensionally elastic tension element. The connecting element are each attached, via a hinged connection, normally a film hinge, either to intermediate members or directly to the hinge parts. The pressure and tension elements are arranged to be at least substantially shear-resistant with respect to each other through an associated shear element.

Abstract: A resilient hinge arrangement has a first hinge part and a second hinge part that assumes a plurality of stable pivoting positions with respect to the first hinge part, with a dead center lying at least between two of the stable pivoting positions. The second hinge part is arranged to return from pivoting positions between the two stable pivoting positions through the dead center, outside a dead center itself, in an elastically resilient manner into a nearest one of the stable pivoting positions. Two connecting arms are spaced a distance apart and include at least one coupling element protruding movably from each of the first and second hinge parts, and at least one substantially flexurally rigid intermediate part between the coupling elements that is delimited by two bending regions that are spaced apart and arranged at an angle to each other between the intermediate part and the coupling elements.
