  • Patent number: 5273722
    Abstract: Gas generator of lightweight construction, especially of an impact protection system for occupants of a vehicle, wherein a housing shell and a cover are made in one piece, formed of light metal such as aluminum, and have internally located screw-threaded parts which are screwed against each other, so that they are connected to one another tightly in a press fit positive lock manner and in a compression-proof manner, and also accommodate and hold between them the igniter, the propellant, and the filter. This leads to considerably reduced production costs for series production. Despite the weight reduction achieved, the gas generator is resistant to high temperatures, and the propellant gases discharged are sufficiently cool and muffled.

  • Patent number: 5269619
    Abstract: The connection has a connection piece (1) which has two displaceable wedges (4, 13) in a bearing housing (8) . These wedges (4, 13) can be displaced in the bearing housing (8) independently of one another by a guide bearing (15, 16). In the working position, the wedge (4) extends into a dovetailed longitudinal groove (20) of a sectional bar (2). The front side (5) of the wedge (4) is profiled and engages a correspondingly profiled wall (22) of the sectional bar (2) in a positive-locking manner. The wedge (4) spreads two clamping tongues of the bearing housing (8) against the flanks of the longitudinal groove (20). By pivoting the guide bearing (15), the wedge (4) can be retracted, and the connection can be separated. A second wedge (13) is inserted axially into the interior space of a second profiled piece (3). This wedge (13) spreads two brackets (11) of the bearing housing (8 ). Both sectional bars (2, 3) have the same design and may be cut off to any desired length.

  • Patent number: 5269293
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a cooling device for cooling breathing gas in a respiratory protection device with a heat collector exposed to the breathing gas stream. Such a cooling device is to be improved such that it can be prepared for cooling at any desired time prior to putting the respiratory protection device into operation, and that cold storage of a coolant is not required. The improvement is achieved by designing the heat collector as a storage tank for an evaporable liquid, which can be connected to an evacuated adsorbent container such that the liquid will evaporate while absorbing heat of vaporization, and its vapor is adsorbed on an adsorbent contained in the adsorbent container while releasing heat of adsorption and heat of condensation, wherein the adsorbent container is designed as a cooling body that is arranged outside the breathing gas stream and is intended to release the heat into the surroundings.
