Abstract: Cable-support arrangement with cable-supporting units 3, 5, which can be arranged above one another. The cable-supporting units can be aligned to different rotation positions with reference to axis A. The cable-support arrangement 1, comprises at least one cable-supporting unit consisting of a base part 3B, 5B and at least one cable support 3K1, 3K2, 5K1, permanently attached to this base part, a stand part 2, optional spacers 4, and a securing pin 6, common to the base part, the stand part and the spacer.

Abstract: Decompression seal (1) for connecting components (3, 4, 5) having openings (2) which opens on excessive pressure. It consists of a retaining-bolt-like arrangement (6) with a bolt head (7) and a locking head (8) with recesses (8-1, 8-2) into which, in the retaining position, the ends of leaf-spring arms (9-3, 9-2) engage. These recesses (8-1, 8-2) and the leaf-spring arms are formed in such a way that when a certain pressure accumulates on the side of the upper component (5) the retaining position is released and the retaining-bolt-like arrangement (6) is pushed axially (17) in direction (R) towards the bolt head (7). Through the threaded connection of the shafts (11, 12) this decompression seal (1) allows the components (3, 4, 5) to be drawn together by turning the bolt head (7). A rotation lock (15, 16) prevents the connection from working loose.

Abstract: Arrangement with a locking element for an imaginary mechanical locking arrangement, consisting of the locking element (2) and a locking hook (3) whose hooked part can be connected with the locking element to close the lock. The locking element (2) is part of a single-part or two-part elongated body (4) consisting of curved and/or straight sections. The locking element (2) is located in the recess (6) of a plastic body (5). The parts of the elongated body (4) lying beyond the locking element (2) are, for the most part, embedded in the plastic body (5), where the direction of at least one of these embedded sections is towards the interior of the plastic body (5).

Abstract: A hinge has a pivoting leaf (2) and a fixed leaf (3), a hollow axle (7) fixedly connected to the pivoting leaf and rotatably connected to first and second journal bearings (5-1, 5-2) of the fixed hinge leaf, a spiral torsion spring (8) arranged in the hollow axle. One end of the spring is fixed to the hollow axle and the other end of the spring is fixed to a worm wheel (9) that is arranged in the first journal bearing. An endless screw (6) resides in the first journal bearing and engages with the worm wheel. Rotation of the endless screw drives the worm wheel and the spiral torsion spring to rotate, thereby adjusting the tension of the spring.

Abstract: Hinge (1) with one pivoting (2) and one fixed (3) hinge leaf, with a physical hinge axle (7) similar to a hollow cylinder which is common to both hinge leaves (2, 3) with an imaginary mathematical axis (4). The hinge axle (7) is connected unmovably to the pivoting (2) hinge leaf and mounted rotatably on a journal bearing (5-1, 5-2), the body of which journal bearing is connected rigidly with the fixed (3) hinge leaf. In the hinge axle (7) a spiral torsion spring (8) arranged, the first (8-1) of whose two ends is connected unmovably to the hinge axle (7) and the second (8-2) of whose two ends is connected via a worm-gear unit consisting of a worm wheel (9) and endless screw (6) to the journal-bearing body of the journal bearing (5-1). The worm wheel (9) is arranged in the journal bearing (5-1) to rotate around the axis (4) of the hinge axle (7) and is fixed permanently to the second (8-2) of the two ends of the spiral torsion spring (8).

Abstract: The releasable locking arrangement for two components consists of a hook-connecting element arranged on a first component (10) and a spring-loaded locking hook (26) with swivelling axis (22) arranged on a second component (20). The locking hook (21) and the hook-connecting element can be connected with one another to form the lock. The hook-connecting element on the first component (10) is a retaining rod (11) whose ends are movable in a guide track (12, 12?). The swivelling axis (22) of the locking hook (21) on the second component (20) is connected with a holder (27). The holder (27) has a sliding bevel (24-S, 25-S) for the retaining rod (11). When the two components (10, 20) approach one another, the retaining rod (11) slides upwards on the sliding bevel (24-S, 25-S) of the holder. This causes the retaining rod to move in its guide track (12, 12?) at the same time.

Abstract: The component (X) is connected to a seat housing (1) and the retaining bolt with the ceiling (or wall) Y. The seat housing (1) has an opening for receiving a plug-in element (4). A part of the retaining bolt with a recess projects into the seat housing. A connecting element is provided in the plug-in element (4) (or in the seat housing), which, when the plug-in element is inserted into the seat housing, engages the recess of the retaining bolt. In the inserted state, the plug-in element (4) is held in position in the seat housing (1) by a detachable lock-in connection. When the lock-in connection is released, an opening spring pushes the plug-in element into the open position. An insert arrangement which encircles the retaining bolt (and if required, a vibration-damping ring) is provided for fixing the retaining bolt in the ceiling.

Abstract: In aircraft construction, connection elements for connecting layers of insulating material onto walls are subject to special requirements for ease of installation, weight considerations, and resistance to heat. The invention provides a connection arrangement, in particular for superimposed layers of material, whose function is not impaired under extreme heat. The connection arrangement is comprised by a pin with a head or head arrangement, engaging positions, and a retaining element. The pin, the head or the head arrangement, and retaining element are made up of a skeleton and an outer material where the skeleton is made of a material more resistant to heat than the outer material. Following destruction or removal of the outer material by heat, the remaining skeleton parts of the pin, head part, and retaining element maintain their connections and structure keeping the layers of material in place.

Abstract: Decompression locks are required in order to achieve a rapid compensation of pressure in case of a sudden increase in pressure in one of two areas which are separated by a pressure tight wall. Decompression locks are used where different pressures in two separate areas have to be compensated rapidly. The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved decompression lock or an improved structural unit with two adjacent decompression locks acting in opposite directions. The improvements include a reduction in weight, simplified installation, a lower number of constituent parts, and a resulting reduction in overall cost.
