  • Patent number: 6296430
    Abstract: The invention relates to a push-in plug (1) made from plastics and having at least one shank (2) to be introduced into a drilled hole, on which shank (2) there are located expansion segments (4) lying opposite one another in pairs, which are braced against and wedge against the wall of the drilled hole when a tensile force acts on the shank (2). For improvement of the holding force, the expansion segment (4) is formed by a wedge element (5), which is held on the outer surface (3) of the shank (2) so as to be axially displaceable and which is displaced, when the push-in plug (1) is pushed into the drilled hole, into a position lying in front of an inclined surface (6) formed on the shank (2), which inclined surface (6) rises towards the insertion end (14) of the push-in plug (1).

  • Patent number: 6234438
    Abstract: The holding device for a drinks container is designed to be installed in the center console of an automobile. It has first drinks container holder (36), which is slidable upward in a laterally oriented initial position from a withdrawn position and subsequently pivotable into a horizontally oriented upright position of use. A first pivot locking device (60,62,64,66) is provided for keeping the first drinks container holder (36) in the substantially laterally oriented initial position against the force of a pivoting spring element until it reaches an upper end position. When it reaches the upper end position, an unlocking device (68,70) is engaged which automatically unlocks the first locking device so that the first drinks container holder (36) can pivot into the horizontally oriented upright position of use. A second locking device is provided for retaining the first drinks container holder (36) in the horizontally oriented upright position of use.

  • Patent number: 5960944
    Abstract: The container (10) has a plurality of slots (14) for the insertion of check or credit cards to be held by it. So that each card can be removed individually, rockers (22) are pivotably mounted at a rear end face (20) of the container (10), are joined to one another integrally by way of resilient connectors (36) so as to be movable relative to one another and are joined integrally with push rods (38) extending to a front face (16) of the container by way of a strip hinge (40). By pressing on push buttons formed on the push rods (38) at the front face, the rockers (22) pivot and push the card in question out of the container (10). The invention has the advantage that the rockers (22) can be produced integrally with one another and with their push rods (38) in the form of an injection-molded component.

  • Patent number: 5791616
    Abstract: The retractable holder for two drink containers, for example, in a dashboard of a motor vehicle, includes a slide element (16) provided with an insertion opening (38) for a first drink container. With the slide element (16) pulled out, a swiveling part (42) provided with an insertion opening (46) for a second drink container can be swiveled sideways out of the slide element (16). So that the holder can be reduced in width, the two insertion openings (38, 46) are open along one section of their circumference. When the swiveling part (42) is accommodated in the slide element (16), the open section is completed by or circumferentially closed by a swiveling arm (40) that is mounted on the swiveling part (42), which swiveling arm (40) swivels out sideways.

  • Patent number: 5785462
    Abstract: An anchoring cartridge for a hardening multi-component composition on the basis of a resin hardening by the reaction of radicals has an inner cartridge element containing the resin component and fillers and an outer cartridge element containing the hardener component. To allow the anchoring rod to be put in position by hand by driving the anchoring rod in fully, without spurting out or running out occurring during the operation of putting the rod in position, and to enable fillers to be used in both components to increase the strength, the inside width of the annular space between the inner and outer cartridge elements corresponds at least to the wall thickness of a cartridge element. Further, the resin contains a thixotropic agent which increases the viscosity of the resin to such an extent that the filler parts are suspended in the resin.

  • Patent number: 5777820
    Abstract: The cassette holder for the transverse storage of magnetic tape cassettes, compact cassettes and digital cassettes has locking members (10) provided for locking the tape reel hubs (17) of a compact cassette (19) on a slider element (2) on which the cassette is moved from a removal position to a storage position. The movement of the locking members (10) is triggered by an actuating device (3) having a control edge (4) which raises and locks the locking members via a first turning pin (9) arranged with the locking members (10) on a common shaft (11). The actuating device (3) is actuated by the standard thickened portion (18) on the compact cassette and the control edge (4) in question. The first turning pin (9) travels in a first recess (6) in the base plate (1) and the locking members (10) travel in additional recesses (20) in the base plate (1) to reduce the cassette holder height.

  • Patent number: 5765979
    Abstract: The impact-type anchor (1) consists of a metal sleeve (2) provided with a throughgoing passage (3) tapering towards a leading end of the sleeve, into which bore an expander body (5) can be driven to expand the impact-type anchor. The throughgoing passage (3) has a rear cylindrical portion provided with an internal thread (4) as well as a tapering portion. So that the metal sleeve can be inexpensively manufactured while providing pull-out values that are the same as those of a metal sleeve made of solid material, the metal sleeve is stamped out of a sheet metal blank and then rolled up to form a sleeve which is joined at its seam. Furthermore, in order to form the tapering internal bore the expandable legs (7) have a first section (7a) that is bent inwards and a second section (7b) that is bent onto the outer face of the first section. The two sections (7a, 7b) resting one against the other are connected non-displaceably to one another, for example, by means of a punched point (9).
