Abstract: There is described a level-indicating device provided with a mounting the device in a wall of a bunker, tank or other container, a system for drive motor mounted to be freely rotatable about the axis thereof, an oscillating transmission unit connected to the drive motor, with an output shaft and a vane mounted on said shaft, whereby the drive motor is provided with switching means to generate a signal and to cut the motor off when the vane meets a resistance. Sealing means are provided for the sealing between the rotatable vane shaft and the mounting. The transmission unit is so designed as to cause a swinging motion of the vane due to the drive motor rotation, while the sealing means comprise a completely closed flexible sealing member which is positively connected on the one side to the vane shaft and on the other side to the mounting.

Abstract: A fluid pump unit having a pump, a driving motor which may be air-cooled and various system components which require a cooling air stream includes a fan which is located between the motor and the pump approximately at the midpoint of the cooling air flow route. The air flow route is arranged to be as long as possible and is provided with sharp angular bends and sound-deadening barriers to limit noise transmission to the exterior of the housing. Air-cooled system elements are located between the fan and housing exterior to act as noise deadeners and further reduce noise transmission.

Abstract: An operator for a casement-type window sash which is mounted adjacent one edge thereof on slider structure for combined pivoting and linear movement comprising, a first structure for causing said combined pivoting and linear movement including a first linkage having an operating arm and a connecting link which is pivotally connected to the operating arm intermediate the ends thereof and also pivotally connected to said sash and a constraining link pivotally connected to a window sill and to the sash at a distance from said edge.
