  • Publication number: 20230332367
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drilling device for establishing a drill hole in the ground, having a main body (11), having a drilling tool which is disposed on one end of the main body (11), having a drive for the drilling tool that is provided on the main body, having a bracing device which is conceived for bracing the drilling device (10) in a cylindrical hollow body (20) and which has at least one bracing plane (31, 32) having at least two bracing elements which by way of a first end are disposed on the main body (11) and which on the second end of said bracing elements have at least one bracing member, wherein the at least one bracing member of the bracing element by means of at least one drive is able to be moved from a first position to a second position. It is provided according to the invention here that the bracing member by way of at least one element on the internal wall of the hollow body provides a form-fitting connection between the main body and the hollow body.

  • Patent number: 11472052
    Abstract: A razor handle for mounting a razor cartridge having at least one razor blade, which cartridge is pivotable about a cartridge pivot axis, is provided. The razor handle includes a grip portion, a cartridge mount portion, at least one biasing element, and a lock mechanism. The cartridge mount portion is pivotally attached to the grip portion and is rotatable about a cartridge mount pivot axis. The cartridge mount pivot axis is substantially parallel to the cartridge pivot axis. The at least one biasing element is configured to apply a biasing force against the cartridge mount portion that biases the cartridge mount portion in the normal first position. The lock mechanism is selectively translatable between a lock position and at least one unlocked position.

  • Publication number: 20200315408
    Abstract: A diaphragm for a container assembly for dispensing products such as wipes or sheets, or collecting and/or storing products, including waste products. The container assembly has diaphragm with a central aperture and at least one petal. The diaphragm is a portion of the lid or the container. The aperture allows a user to insert one or more fingers (or hand) to pull the first sheet out or alternatively, deposit an item into the container. The diaphragm has one or more slits separating the outer periphery of the diaphragm from portions of the petals, thereby reducing the force required to deflect the diaphragm.

  • Patent number: 7438365
    Abstract: A mining device for subsurface extraction of raw materials off rocks includes bracing means for the reversible bracing of the mining device in a hollow space, a frame, and tunneling means stationarily connected with the bracing means, whereby the frame is movable by the tunneling means in a predefined direction. A rotatable roller is arranged on the frame, at the circumference of which cutting tools and clearing devices are arranged such that a rectangular mining cross-section can be created and such that the mining device and also the frame of the mining device is movable into a mining tunnel created by these cutting tools.
