Abstract: A device for casting electrode grids for producing lead acid batteries in a continuous casting process. The device includes a casting wheel and a casting shoe which rests on an outer circumference of the casting wheel. Liquid lead exiting the casting shoe flows into a concave mold of the casting wheel surface and is removable as a solidified lead strip. The casting shoe is made up of two or more zones, at least a first hot zone with a temperature above the melting point of lead and a second, thermally separated zone with a temperature below the melting point of lead. Cooling the lead strip from two sides (the wheel side and the shoe side) avoids columnar crystal formation and increases the casting speed to 40 meter per minute and above. Thermal isolation of the lead feeding tube avoids re-flowing of lead to a lead pot, reducing PbO formation.

Abstract: An operating interface (10) is in an interior of a vehicle and has a surface (11) that is visible in the interior. The operating interface (10) has an operating element (14) that can be shifted relative to the surface (11) between resting and operating positions. The operating element (14) has a display (17) that is inactive in the resting position and does not indicate a functional assignment of the operating element (14). However, the display (17) is active in the operating position and indicates a functional assignment of the operating element (14). The operating element (14) has a first orientation to the surface body (11) when in the operating position and has a second orientation to the surface body (11) when in the resting position. A gap (19) is formed between the operating element (14) and the surface body (11) and surrounds the operating element (14).
Abstract: A brake assembly with a first brake disc and with a second brake disc, which are arranged spaced apart from one another and connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner and can be arranged such that they can rotate about a common axis of rotation, in particular on a wheel carrier. A brake caliper with brake pistons is arranged axially between the two brake discs, wherein at least one first brake piston is provided, by way of which pressure can be applied to a first arranged brake pad to press it against the first brake disc, and wherein optionally at least one second brake piston is provided, by way of which pressure can be applied to a second arranged brake pad to press it against the second brake disc.
