  • Patent number: 10632036
    Abstract: A device (4) aligns and connects a housing hood (3) to a housing (2). The device (4) has a first connecting piece (5) and a second connecting piece (6). The first connecting piece (5) has a clamp bearing element (51) and the second connecting piece (6) has a lamella element (61). The lamella element (61) is arranged movably along the clamp bearing element (51). The device (4) has a clamping element (7) for clearance-free clamping the lamella element (61) with the clamp bearing element (51). An alignment of the hood (3) on a housing (2) can be carried out simply and rapidly and requires only weak clamping forces.

  • Patent number: 10617585
    Abstract: A thermotherapy device (1) includes a pivotable wall (2) and a pivoting device (3). The pivoting device (3) has a pivoting axis section (31) connected to the thermotherapy device. A locking element (32) is connected to the pivotable wall (2) and is mounted movably radially to the pivoting axis section (31) and pivotably about the pivoting axis section (31). A blocking element (33) and a holding module (34) for the blocking element (33) are provided. A contact element (35) is permanently connected to the locking element (32) for contacting the blocking element (33). The holding module (34) pushes the blocking element (33) between the pivoting axis section (31) and the contact element (35) when the locking element (32) is moved from a locked position, defined by a first distance to the pivoting axis section (31), into an unlocked position, defined by a second distance to the pivoting axis section (31).

  • Patent number: 9486378
    Abstract: A heat therapy device, in particular an incubator, for treating newborn children, has a bordered lying surface (4) freely accessible from above for accommodating a newborn child. A hood (18) can be moved between a closed position in which the bordered lying surface (4) is covered and an open exposed bordered lying surface position. A radiation heater (16) is suspended from a support structure (8) and is directed at the surface (4), in such a way that, after the movement from the closed position to the open position, the end (18b) of the hood facing the support structure (8) lies vertically at least at the height of the radiation heater (16) and lies horizontally further from the support structure (8) than the radiation heater, such that the hood (18) assumes a position outside of a radiation cone (16a) from the radiation heater (16) onto the lying surface (4).

  • Patent number: 9155420
    Abstract: The present invention has as an objective to provide an apparatus for brewing a beverage that provides an attractive brewing experience for the consumer, which can perform an effective and efficient brewing process, and which also can be easily rinsed to remove any spent infusible material. These objectives have been met by a beverage brewing machine having an at least one water inlet port that is arranged at an angle of less than 4 degrees relative to the wall of the brew chamber to direct water around the wall of the brew chamber. The apparatus also provides for improved agitation of infusible material. Moreover a method is provided to brew a beverage using the brewing machine of the invention.

  • Patent number: 8733591
    Abstract: A dispenser includes a housing holding an assembly, including a liquid reservoir, a pump for dispensing the fluid product, and an outlet nozzle. The pump includes a liquid chamber for containing a dose of the liquid product and a pressurizing device which allows liquid product to be drawn into or expelled from the liquid chamber. The dispenser further includes a shunting chamber including a first aperture allowing flow access to the reservoir, a second aperture allowing flow access to the outlet nozzle, and a third aperture allowing flow access to the liquid chamber. The third aperture is disposed off-axis with respect to the first and second apertures. The shunting chamber further includes a mechanically actuated governing device that has two states, one defining a flow path between the first and third apertures and one defining a flow path between the third and second apertures.
