  • Patent number: 6944934
    Abstract: In the case of a small-sized motor of the present invention, a printed board to which an electric circuit including an electric element is attached is mounted on a case cover. The printed board has a soldering part to be connected to a member attached to an interior of the case cover for being connected to an electric power source supplied from an outside and a soldering part to be connected to a projection in a notch provided on an opening part side of the metal case to body-earth the electric circuit. In the soldering part for the body-earthing, at the time of assembling the motor, after fitting the case cover to the metal case opening part, a pair of electrodes are brought into contact from an outside of the metal case near the soldering part, to weld the soldering part by a principle of the electric resistance welding.

  • Patent number: 6941597
    Abstract: A holding device for medical instruments at a patient's bed, which are accommodated in suspension components. Holding devices for various medical instruments, such as respirators and accessories, infusion and secretion bags, measuring instruments and disposable articles, are used at patients' beds in many areas. A frequent drawback of prior-art holding devices is that the support at the patient's bed is unstable because the holding devices are suspended only loosely in a rail or handle. The holding device according to the present invention guarantees stable fastening at the patient's bed. It comprises a horizontal crossbeam (1), which is fixed on the sides of a peripheral strap (9) at the foot end of the patient's bed via, e.g., fixing means (3) designed as metal claws. Two vertical suspension carriers (2) with openings (6) for receiving suspension components have suspension sections (5) at their upper ends for suspension on the straps (9).

  • Patent number: 6942612
    Abstract: A hood with a double wall portion or wall adapter for a thermotherapy device. The wall adapter works with the hood in such thermotherapy devices to lower that part of the body heat of the premature or newborn infant lost due to radiation to the cooler hood. The construction avoids inter alia problems relating to water of condensation being formed, which may drop off. The double wall portion or wall adapter is arranged on the outside of a hood portion of the hood (1). The wall adapter (2) is fastened to the hood part (1) from the outside in a simple manner. A connection structure (5) provides for connection or locking of the wall adapter (2) at the hood (1). A seal (3) extends around the wall element of the wall adapter (2) to enclose an intermediate space between the wall adapter and (2) and the hood (1).

  • Patent number: 6935443
    Abstract: A small sized disk bit includes a bit holder accommodated in a bearing journal on its side (overhangingly), and a disk body with asymmetrically designed wedge flanks mounted rotatably thereon. To enable the disk body to absorb high radial and axial strong forces encountered during the engagement of the disk on a solid rock, the disk body is designed as a one-part disk body with a blind hole with its surface and the bearing journal surface being designed as components of the bearing. The bearing involves the combination of a radial and thrust bearing each, where the thrust bearing is milled into the track of the radial bearing. A ball bearing is used as the axial bearing and a needle roller bearing, a cylindrical roller bearing or a slide bearing is used as the radial bearing. The diameter of the ball bearing is larger than the diameter of the needle rollers, or the cylindrical rollers or the thickness of the sliding bush of the slide bearing.

  • Patent number: 6933651
    Abstract: In the present invention, by selecting an optimum combination of plating layer materials or materials, not only the manufacturing cost of motor brush is reduced but also a plating layer having excellent characteristics is formed in a narrow width on the surface of brush base material so as to have a predetermined thickness. The present invention is formed by a brush sliding portion that slides on a motor commutator and a plate-shaped brush base material that is slender as a whole and supports the brush sliding portion. This brush sliding portion is formed by Pd plating portion formed over a predetermined length on a part in the lengthwise direction of the brush base material that supports the brush sliding portion. This Pd plating is applied on the brush base material via backing Ni plating.

  • Patent number: 6929006
    Abstract: A respirator with a tidal volume-measuring device (6) between a respiration bag (8) and a patient adapter (2) provides accurate metering of the tidal volume. The device includes a first pressure-measuring device (4) and a breathing gas interruptor (5) in series sequence between the patient adapter (2) and the tidal volume-measuring device (6). A second pressure-measuring device (7) is provided between the tidal volume-measuring device (6) and the respiration bag (8). A control unit (20) is connected with the tidal volume-measuring device (6) and the pressure-measuring devices (4, 7) and sends control signals in such a way that when a predetermined tidal volume is reached, the breathing gas interrupter (5) is switched to the closed position, and that the closed position is eliminated when the pressure p2 measured with the second pressure-measuring means (7) has dropped below the pressure p1 determined with the first pressure-measuring means (4).
