  • Patent number: 6081383
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-color gobo for the projection of a multi-color pattern, and to a method of manufacturing the gobo. On the basis of a multi-color pattern that is color-separated into single-color components, the single-color components are disposed to parallel planes in the gobo and at least two of these planes are mutually separated by means of a transparent substrate. The gobo may include a plurality of mutually superimposed disc-shaped and transparent substrates and each of the substrates may include a dichroic surface coating so as to form a color filter. Combinations of the color filters are able to reproduce the colors of the multi-color pattern and respective color-emitting surface coatings present a pattern that coincides with the pattern of corresponding color components in the multi-color pattern.

  • Patent number: 6059248
    Abstract: The invention relates to a longitudinal guidance for vehicle seats, especially motor vehicle seats, with two longitudinal rails, namely a bottom rail and a seat rail, and with a guiding structure in the shape of roll bodies and/or sliding bodies, which are arranged between the rail. Each rail has an L-shape area, which has two L-legs. Each rail also has two final areas, which join the respective L-shape area, which extend bent several times and onto which the guiding structures are joined. Each final area of each rail creates an encompassing area with each final area of the other rail by a reciprocal interlocking. In each encompassing area, seen from the direction of the profile, two channels for guiding structures are provided.

  • Patent number: 6012695
    Abstract: The invention relates to a longitudinal guide for a motor vehicle seat with a pair of carries comprising a seat carrier and a sliding bottom carrier, which are movable towards each other in their longitudinal direction and which are in contact with each other by means of sliding devices and/or rollers, whereby each carrier a) possesses at least two guide areas and each guide area of one carrier is adapted in a form to the related guide area of the other carrier in such a way that sliding devices and/or rollers are each taken up between two guide areas of different carries and b) possesses at least one area of gearing, which is modelled in such a way that it does not come into contact with at least one area of gearing of the corresponding other carrier under normal circumstances, but comes into contact, if the two carriers are separated from each other, and obstructs such a separation by means of gearing.

  • Patent number: 5984576
    Abstract: A mobile demountable flood barrier consists of individual stackable sections, the two longitudinal ends of which engage for securing purposes in a U-section arranged perpendicularly to the sections. The individual sections engage together by means of horizontal S-shape toothed projections on their upper side and lower side and thus transmit to their adjacent sections a part of the load caused by the pressure of the water which can act upon them.
