  • Patent number: 11641698
    Abstract: A heating device for a domestic appliance includes a planar carrier having a carrier surface. Thermally sprayed onto the carrier surface is a layer structure, and a first solder volume is applied to the layer structure. The solder volume is an ultrasonically soldered-on solder volume. The layer structure can hereby be a heating conductor layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180242401
    Abstract: A heating device for a domestic appliance includes a planar carrier having an electrically-insulating carrier surface. Thermally sprayed onto the carrier surface is an electrically-conductive layer structure, and an electrically-conductive contact volume is applied onto the layer structure. The contact volume is made of conductive glue. In a method for electrically connecting the thermally sprayed layer structure, a volume of a pasty conductive glue is applied to the layer structure, and the conductive glue is allowed to solidify.

  • Publication number: 20160138985
    Abstract: A device and method for testing out-of-plane tensile strength of a load application element fitted to a composite sandwich panel, including a pull member, a push member, a force distribution member, and a force gauge. The pull member is arranged and configured for applying a tensile strength testing force (T) onto the load application element. The push member is connected to the pull member so that the reaction force (R) of the testing force (T) is distributed on the surface of the composite sandwich panel around the load application element via the force distribution member. The force gauge is configured for measuring the reaction force (R) between the push member and the surface of the composite sandwich panel.

  • Patent number: 8818550
    Abstract: The invention relates to a horizontal circuit storage system (1) for storing storage goods carried by load-carriers. The horizontal circuit storage system has a storage zone (2) with a plurality of stacked horizontal storage planes (5). A plurality of load-carriers (6) are arranged in a row in each of the storage planes. The storage zone (2) is located between two vertical conveyers (3, 4) which interconnect the storage planes vertically in each case. The load-carriers (6) can be moved horizontally in the storage planes (5) to the vertical conveyers (3, 4) by horizontal conveyers (8) which are associated each with a storage plane (5). According to the invention, a control unit is provided in order to permit faster access to individual load-carriers and, depending on a control signal from the control unit, the storage system can be brought into a condition in which a horizontal circuit is formed for the load-carriers (6).

  • Patent number: 7955342
    Abstract: The invention elates to a device (20) for connecting hollow organs (24, 25), which device comprises various elements that are held by holding devices. Said holding devices can be laterally displaced on a slide rail (21), rotated or detached and put on and their position can be secured if required. The traverse (31) is used as a stop for the axial alignment of the holding devices. The two holding devices (22, 23) carry clamping devices for retaining and, if required, clamping off the hollow organ ends (24, 25). The holding devices (26, 27) carry fittings (10, 11). The two hollow organ ends (24, 25) to be connected are pushed through the fittings to such an extent as to project over the fitting ends by a defined extent. The ends of the hollow organs are then turned up by the ends of the fittings using two turn-up devices (28, 29). The holding device (30) in the center holds an additional fitting (14) into which the two fittings (10, 11) are inserted with the turned-up hollow organ ends and secured.
