Abstract: A mounting device for a sealing ring, having a transport/mounting protective sleeve for the sealing ring and a sleeve-shaped punch with which the transport/mounting protective sleeve is movable on both sides in axial direction and automatically removable, wherein the protective sleeve has an inner step, extending axially, and an outside diameter corresponding to the outside diameter of a machine element to be sealed, and an axial length substantially corresponding to the axial length of the sealing ring, wherein the inner step is bounded axially counter to mounting direction by at least one end-side stop for the sealing ring, which stop forms part of an outer step likewise extending in the axial direction, wherein the outer step has a first driver surface with which at least one latching-lug-shaped driver of the punch can be engaged for automatic removal of the protective sleeve when the punch moves counter to the mounting direction.

Abstract: A movable device has a base which can be moved on a surface using a travel gear, which may improve and design a movable device such that it can be moved on a surface without major damages and in a trouble-free manner, wherein the base is associated with one or more detectors configured to detect obstacles and/or with dampers configured to damp impact and/or with carriers configured to carry along particles.

Abstract: A window wiper is substantially tee-shaped, having a wiper head and a wiper handle, the wiper head being bent with respect to the wiper handle and the wiper head and the wiper handle delimiting a bending angle. The wiper head and the wiper handle may be connected to each other by a flexible joint, the wiper head and the wiper handle being movable from an initial bending angle to a maximum final bending angle against the spring force of the flexible joint.

Abstract: A filter element to be inserted into a filter housing, has a filter medium with a rim, wherein the rim is connected to an injection-molded frame or at least one injection-molded frame element, providing a flexibly bendable filter element using a frame made of plastic attached by injection molding, wherein the frame or at least one frame element is made of plastics of different hardnesses in alternation in at least one extension direction, such that the filter element can be bent flexibly at least in part by deforming the filter medium and the frame or frame element.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for cleaning floors and/or surfaces, having a container for holding a cleaning fluid, a discharge device for discharging the cleaning fluid onto a floor and/or surface to be cleaned, and a heating device for heating and/or tempering and/or evaporating the cleaning fluid. The cleaning apparatus can easily be supplied with energy for heating and/or tempering and/or evaporating the cleaning fluid, and the apparatus can be operated cordlessly.

Abstract: A flat wiping cloth for a wiping cloth holder includes an elongated base. The elongated base includes a main cleaning surface and a sheetlike textile material. The sheetlike textile material does not include a base fabric with threads attached to the main cleaning surface. At least one cleaning lip is formed on the elongated base. The at least one cleaning lip is swivelable relative to the elongated base about a swiveling region.

Abstract: A method for producing a sealing bellows, involving (1) vulcanizing a sealing bellows having clamping elements integrated into the sealing region and into the attachment region (2) and having a substantially cylindrical casing, thereby forming the sealing bellow; (2) interrupting the vulcanizing after the mold cavity has been filled and after attaining dimensional stability of the sealing bellows and then releasing the sealing bellows from the mold; (3) introducing the sealing bellows having a substantially cylindrical casing into a heated blowing mold having a substantially spherical cavity and sealing the blowing mold in an airtight manner; (4) subjecting the interior of the sealing bellows to a relative excess pressure such that the casing is applied against a wall delimiting the cavity of the blowing mold; and (5) completely curing the sealing bellows, then opening the blowing mold to release the sealing bellows from the mold.

Abstract: A wiper for the sealing arrangement of a cylinder arrangement having a cylinder and a piston rod, having a support lip facing in the direction of the space that is to be sealed off, and a wiper lip facing towards the surroundings, as well as a holding element from which the support lip and the wiper lip protrude, wherein the free end of the wiper lip is bent in the direction of the piston rod.

Abstract: A cleaning cart has a base plate and a working plate arranged at a vertical distance above the base plate, wherein the base plate and the working plate are connected to each other by a linkage arranged in the vertical distance. The linkage is formed by at least two struts extending non-parallel to each other.

Abstract: A cassette seal having an internal ring with a cylindrical portion; a cover portion radially projecting from the cylindrical portion, and a covering portion axially projecting from the cover portion, wherein the covering portion is radially spaced from the cylindrical portion, and an external ring with axial flange, and a radial flange projecting in the internal ring direction, with a sealing body of an elastomeric material associated with the axial flange, wherein from the sealing body sealing lips are formed, wherein a first sealing lip with radial preload sealingly rests against the cylindrical portion's outer circumference, wherein a second sealing lip axially projects from the radial flange and extends in the direction of the covering portion's side facing the cylindrical portion, wherein a third sealing lip axially projects beyond the radial flange and on the outer circumference at least partly projects beyond the covering portion.
