Abstract: A device for ironing items of clothing having sleeves, especially, shirts and blouses, by an ironing dummy includes an inflatable bag placed inside the item of clothing when ironing and reaching into the cuffs of the clothing item. To be better able to smooth out the sleeves when ironing, the end of the inflatable bag in the region of the cuffs is provided with a reinforcement that fixes the end of the sleeve and exercises a longitudinal pull on the sleeve during inflation of the inflatable bag. An inner clamping mechanism is disposed inside the cuff for the fixing process.

Abstract: A filter stop for a vacuum cleaner contains a dust chamber that is closable with a lid and receives a dust bag with a reinforcement plate in a specific fitting position. The filter stop has a base plate that is movable between two stopping positions parallel to the direction in which the reinforcement plate of the dust bag is inserted into the dust chamber. The filter stop is also provided with a swiveling lever that can be brought into a position activating the vacuuming function of the vacuum cleaner by the reinforcement plate when the dust bag is correctly positioned. The swiveling lever is in a position preventing the vacuuming function from being activated when the dust bag is not correctly positioned. The filter stop can be brought into a stop position activating the vacuuming function exclusively when the swiveling lever is actuated by a shoulder of the reinforcement plate.

Abstract: A refrigerating appliance includes a heat insulating housing and an inner chamber that is cooled by the circulation of cooling air. A hollow body extends in the inner chamber, defining a flow channel for the cooling air. Carriers for goods to be cooled are disposed in the inner chamber and are supported on the hollow body.

Abstract: A device for storing a cable, especially an electric cable in a cable drum of a vacuum cleaner. The device including a pendulous body with rollers mounted on an axle and a supply space. The supply space has the rollers arranged on the entry side to guide the cable to the pendulous body. The pendulous body having at least a first and at least a second roller between which the cable can be guided as the pendulous object swings around the axle.
Abstract: A fruit press containing a centrally arranged element projecting upward from a base to a tip. The element base has an outer annular surface for the pressing of fruit. The annular surface having ridges on the outer surface that run from the base to the tip. The outer surface having trough-like recesses between the ridges with a cross-section substantially in the form of a circle.

Abstract: An evaporator shell is mounted on the half-shell of a condenser housing. The evaporator shell is retained with the aid of retaining claws that engage from the rear with catching flanks formed on the upper half-shell.
Abstract: A device for application in a fan configuration is configured, in particular, to be directly driven by an electric motor. In the fan configuration, a centrifugal fan wheel is mounted to rotate in unison with a drive shaft. The centrifugal fan wheel, for producing a directed airflow, is surrounded by a fan housing. A seal is disposed in an admission orifice, for largely filling in an air gap between the centrifugal fan wheel and the inner surface of the fan housing. Such a configuration improves the housing and sealing thereof for an application in a vacuum cleaner by having the sealing device be embodied as a sealing ring linked to a buffer part out of the fan housing, which part tightly surrounds the admission orifice.
Abstract: A refrigeration device and method of operation, including at least two separate temperature zones, each having a set temperature range. Both zones are cooled by a separate evaporator with both of the evaporators arranged in a common coolant circuit having operational and non-operational phases. At least one temperature zone includes a fan and the temperature is measured in at least a first one of the temperature zones. The fan is operated intermittently in the operational and non-operational phases depending on a preset temperature measured in the first temperature zone. The operational and non-operational phases of the fan and the coolant circuit are operated such that the operational phases of the coolant circuit coincide at least partially with the non-operational phases of the fan.
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a housing and at least one running roller operatively connected to the housing. The roller has a hub, a running ring, a wall connecting the running ring and the hub. The wall has two side surfaces and a curved cross-section between the running ring and the hub. The roller has at least one reinforcing rib extending at least from one of the two side surfaces of the wall and being in contact with neither the hub nor the running ring in a non-loaded state of the running roller. The roller forms an elastic caster with a nave and a bearing race. The nave and the bearing race are connected to another by an S or Z-shaped curved wall. Ribs are provided for reinforcing the wall or the nave.
