  • Flat mop cover with two cleaning surfaces
    Patent number: 11045064
    Abstract: A flat mop cover for mop-cover holder, where the flat mop cover comprises an elongate basic body. The basic body has a first elongate surface and a second elongate surface, which lie opposite one another. At least one foam-material layer is disposed between the elongate surfaces, and the two elongate surfaces are each configured to be cleaning surfaces. The two elongate surfaces are disposed such that a plate-shaped carrying element of a mop-cover holder is configured to be disposed in a sandwich-like manner between the two surfaces. The basic body is configured to absorb in a reversible manner at least four times, and at most twenty times, its dry weight in liquid, and wherein the foam-material layer has no fibers.

  • Expandable introducer assembly and method of using same
    Patent number: 11027100
    Abstract: An expandable introducer assembly for use in inserting a medical device into a body vessel of a patient includes an expandable sheath subassembly including a sheath hub and an expandable sheath extending from the sheath hub for initial insertion into the body vessel of the patient. The expandable introducer assembly also includes introducer subassembly including a hemostasis valve and an introducer sheath extending from the hemostasis valve and axial advanceable through the sheath hub and into the expandable sheath for radially expanding the body vessel. A coupler is releasably connected to the sheath hub and disposed in interlocked relationship with the hemostasis valve when the hemostasis valve is axially advanced with the introducer sheath towards the sheath hub for allowing serial retraction of the introducer sheath and the expandable sheath out of the body vessel of the patient.

  • Seal and seal assembly comprising the seal
    Patent number: 11015713
    Abstract: A seal includes: a seal ring, having at least one dynamically stressed seal lip; a supporting ring made of a toughened material; and a connecting device made of an elastomeric material. The seal ring and the supporting ring are connected to one another. The supporting ring includes a radial leg, to which, in a radial direction, the seal lip is fixed. The radial leg is formed of two parts and, in the radial direction, has arranged a first partial leg and, in an other radial direction has arranged a second partial leg. The partial legs are associated adjacent with a first radial distance and delineate a first gap. The first partial leg is connected with the seal lip. The first and the second partial legs are fixed to one another by the connecting device. The connecting device, when viewed in cross section, has an axial length and a radial height.

  • Radial shaft seal with dynamic exclusion of contamination
    Patent number: 10955006
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement includes a housing including a bore and a shaft extending through the bore in the housing. An inner annular sealing member includes an inner surface press fit on the shaft and having a plurality of radially outwardly projecting fins on an outer surface. An outer annular sealing member is press fit in the bore and includes a first end supporting a seal lip that sealingly engages an outer surface of the inner annular sealing member. The outer annular sealing member includes a second end that is disposed directly radially outward of and spaced from the radially outwardly projecting fins of the inner annular sealing member. When the shaft rotates, the radially outwardly projecting fins pro-actively/dynamically move air, contamination, particles, fluids etc. axially away from the sealing area.
