Abstract: A sealing bellows made of an elastomeric material includes: a first end face; a second end face; and a casing having a central axis, the casing being arranged in an axial direction between the first and second end faces, the casing including at least one torsion-compensating element for absorbing torsional movements introduced into the sealing bellows substantially without torsional stress. The first end face includes a first static seal and the second end face includes a second static seal. The sealing bellows is made of a TPE material.

Abstract: A sealing arrangement includes: a first machine element and a second machine element, each made of an electrically-conductive material; and a seal. The first and second machine elements are sealed against one another by the seal. At least one of the machine elements is made of an electrically-conductive plastic which is at least partially covered by an electrically-insulating, injection-molded skin as a result of production. The seal has an electrically-conductive support body. The support body has at least one substantially mandrel-shaped projection comprising an electrically-conductive material which is arranged on a side of the support body facing the injection-molded skin and completely penetrates the injection-molded skin.

Abstract: A beveled broom and step-on dustpan cleaning system including a step-on dustpan having a step-on portion configured to allow a user to collect debris in a receptacle of the dustpan when a force is applied on the step-on portion. The dustpan includes a lip portion which is configured to seal against a floor surface upon a user stepping on the step-on portion to collect debris. A beveled broom having a broom head configured with a beveled or chamfered shape at a functional angle to provide an effective and efficient contact surface to a floor surface to collect debris during use.

Abstract: A system and method for cleaning a cart wheel includes an elongated body having a central channel having an entry end and an exit end. A shuttle slidably engages the elongated body and is engageable by a wheel entering the central channel from the entry end such that the wheel pushes the shuttle along the central channel and disengages the shuttle adjacent the exit end, wherein a sliding engagement between the wheel and the shuttle cleans the wheel.

Abstract: A thermoformable decorative material for an automotive interior includes: a decorative layer including a textile substrate; a digitally printed design disposed on at least one side of the textile substrate and having dispersion ink and/or pigment ink; and an overlay adhesive coating applied to the digitally printed design. The overlay adhesive coating has an adhesive that includes polyurethane and/or polyacrylate.

Abstract: A beveled broom and step-on dustpan cleaning system including a step-on dustpan having a step-on portion configured to allow a user to collect debris in a receptacle of the dustpan when a force is applied on the step-on portion. The dustpan includes a lip portion which is configured to seal against a floor surface upon a user stepping on the step-on portion to collect debris. A beveled broom having a broom head configured with a beveled or chamfered shape at a functional angle to provide an effective and efficient contact surface to a floor surface to collect debris during use.

Abstract: A sealing bellows includes a casing. The casing includes a rubber-elastic material, which includes an edge region at the front side on both sides. A clamping ring for fastening the sealing bellows to a machine element is arranged in at least one of the edge regions. The clamping ring is formed by an annular disk which, viewed in the circumferential direction, has a meander-like configuration.

Abstract: A bucket assembly for use with a mop includes inner and outer bucket assemblies including first and second reservoirs, respectively. The inner bucket assembly includes a rinse bucket, fluid connection and closure element between the rinse bucket and the first reservoir. The first reservoir is optionally otherwise sealed when the at least one closure element is in the open position. The inner bucket is disposed at least partially within the second reservoir. A drainage channel fluidly connected to the second reservoir is formed by at least one of the inner bucket assembly and/or the outer bucket assembly.

Abstract: An energy storage system includes a housing in which a plurality of storage cells are arranged. The storage cells are thermally insulated from each other via a device arranged between the storage cells. The device is designed in such a way that the storage cells are spaced apart from each other. The device is made from temperature-resistant material. The device has projections and depressions. The device contains a material which is configured to be subjected to an endothermic chemical conversion when a temperature of 200° C. is exceeded.

Abstract: A method includes using a sealing element to dynamically seal a sealing body in the presence of a lubricant. The sealing element has an elastomeric base body and a plasma coating. The coating includes the elements carbon, oxygen, silicon, and hydrogen. The coating has the following properties at least at the surface: the amount ratio C:Si (at %/at %) is >5, the amount ratio O:Si (at %/at %) is >3, and the surface energy is <50 mN/m. In an embodiment, the coating includes the element fluorine.

Abstract: A filter cartridge has a filter medium that is provided at least on an end face with a flange that serves for the installation of the filter cartridge in a filter arrangement, whereby the flange has a radial flange and a support section, whereby the support section extends in the lengthwise direction of the filter cartridge.

Abstract: A bucket includes: at least two chambers which are flow connected to one another by at least one overflow channel. One of the chambers is a combined washing-out/centrifuging chamber for a cleaning device. One of the chambers is a water level-regulating chamber configured to regulate a water level in the washing-out/centrifuging chamber. The water level-regulating chamber contains a displacement body which is movable by a first actuating device.

Abstract: A cleaning device includes: a main body having a front edge; a suction device having a suction opening and a suction channel; a brush assembly having a rotatable roller brush; and an apparatus for wetting a floor to be cleaned with liquid, the apparatus being associated with the roller brush. The suction opening and the roller brush are arranged in the main body in such a manner as to face the floor to be cleaned. The suction opening has a first wall facing the front edge of the main body and a second wall facing the roller brush. The roller brush loosens dirt from the floor to be cleaned. A pivotable lip is associated with the suction opening and alternately rests against the first wall or the second wall.
