Abstract: A cleaning device for the shaving head of a dry shaving apparatus includes a receptacle formed in a housing of the cleaning device. The receptacle adapted to receive the shaving head for cleaning with a cleaning fluid. During the cleaning cycle, the dry shaving apparatus is lockable in the cleaning device by means of an interlock. The shaving head is exposed to heat from a heater for drying subsequent to cleaning. Following a drying cycle, release of the interlock is controlled by a control element provided in the cleaning device to prevent an operator's skin from being burned by an excessively hot shaving head in an immediately succeeding shaving operation.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a cleaning device for the shaving head of a dry shaving apparatus. The cleaning device 1 includes a receptacle 2 adapted to receive the shaving head. A pump 5 operates to transfer a cleaning fluid 4 from a reservoir 3 into the receptacle 2. A controllable drain 9 between the lower region of the receptacle 2 and the reservoir 3 ensures that the cleaning fluid 4 does not return to the reservoir 3 until needed. This prolongs the period of time for which the cleaning fluid 4 is in contact with the shaving head to be cleaned, without it being necessary for the pump 5 to run permanently.

Abstract: The invention relates to a seat part for a vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat, having a seat pan (1) made of sheet metal, a seat cushion applied to the seat pan (1) and a cable assembly (17) running in the seat cushion. In order to make possible simple and economical installation of the cable assembly and manufacture of the seat part, the invention provides that the seat pan (1) is formed as a deep-drawn part and channels (8, 11, 12) are formed in the seat part (1), in which the cable assembly (17) is accommodated.

Abstract: For the use of the vacuum die-casting process, it is an essential precondition that the casting process takes place in a circuit sealed off on the outside, so that the undesirable ingress of air is avoided, corresponding safe sealing systems are necessary. The sealing between a casting piston and a suction box is designed in such a way that a long service life of the seal is ensured and a possible risk of accidents is avoided.

Abstract: A device for the blocking of a catch adjustment device for motor vehicle backrests, with adjustable inclination, that are articulated at a seat portion, the catch adjustment device having a catch gear toothing a catch element that may be brought into engagement therewith in various positions of inclination. When the inclination is being adjusted, the catch member lies out of engagement. The device comprises a control element that is sensitive to inertia, and which triggers blocking of the backrest when the catch lock is released. The control element, which is sensitive to inertia, affects a blocking device that can be activated pyrotechnically, and is provided between an area that is firmly attached to the seat and an area firmly attached to the backrest.

Abstract: A motor vehicle seat with a ventilation device having an exhaust channel, the entrance of which connects to an air-permeable contact surface. A porous air-permeable mat is provided adjacent to the contact surface, and an exhaust fan is provided in the exhaust air channel. An intake channel terminates at the mat and has an intake opening. A total air current drawn in by the intake fan and exiting the exhaust channel includes an air current drawn in through the intake opening and an air current drawn in through the contact surface.
