Abstract: A dosing device including a hopper (1) having an outlet opening which is closed by two spherical cap halves (3, 4), which can be pivoted in opposite directions. The pivoting movement is effected by two arms (5, 6) pivoted about a common pivot pin (8). The spherical cap halves (3, 4) can be pivoted by a rod assembly (18, 19, 22, 23) including a vertically mobile plunger (14). To prevent the bulk goods bridging, a rotating loosening and scraping device (30) is provided, the base (31) of which reaches close to the outlet opening. With the dosing device, both large and small quantities of bulk goods can be discharged in accurate doses.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing and dosing device for bulk items containing a funnel-shaped receiving element for bulk items, embodied as a base body (1). A rotating ring (3) is surrounded on the outside by a bearing ring (6) which is secured to the base body (1). A toothed drive ring (10) is connected to the rotating ring (3) and is driven by a side pinion (12). An scraper (15) projects eccentrically up to a slider (20). The slider (20) can be moved at the side by a hand lever (22, 24). Said base body (1), rotating ring (3) and bearing ring (6) can be separated from each other and are sealed to each other. The inventive design facilitates simple and economically feasible construction, whereby the bulk item can be dispersed to the lowest discharge area.

Abstract: A glare protection device in a motor vehicle reduces the blinding of a motor vehicle driver or passenger caused by the headlights of an oncoming vehicle. A tinted translucent glare protection shield (3) is adjustably held by a guide rail (5) for adjusting the elevation of the shield which is also tiltable around an axis (8). The guide rail (5) is secured by an attachment system, to the sun visor (1) of the motor vehicle, preferably so that it is detachable. When not in use, the glare protection shield (3) is folded-up around the axis (8).

Abstract: A ski-tie device comprises a flat housing from which an elastic band can be withdrawn laterally to engage a similar device on another ski of the pair. Integral with the elastic band is a pair of resilient strips anchored in the housing and the band is provided with an abutment engageable with an abutment of the housing to prevent excessive stretching of these strips when the band is withdrawn from the housing and stretched.
