  • Patent number: 6260298
    Abstract: A pistol, comprising a housing which contains a trigger device and a slide which slides on this housing and contains a barrel and a breech, in which case the breech is provided with a firing bolt which can be driven by a mainspring. In order to provide entirely safe protection against access, the breech has a hole which runs transversely with respect to the firing direction, in which hole a locking bolt can be moved and can be rotated, which locking bolt has a head which is accessible from the outside and, in the locked position, projects into the movement path of the firing bolt. To this end, the head of the locking bolt has at least one tab on its external circumference, and the breech has at least one recess on the internal circumference of the hole, which recess holds the tab when the locking bolt is in the open position.

  • Patent number: 6102791
    Abstract: The cooling-air outlet of a vehicle comprises a grill and a frame which encloses said grill and is provided on an outside wall of the vehicle. In order to render the grill, as far as possible, invisible in a thermal-imaging environment, the frame projects beyond the grill to the outside and comprises a hollow profile which forms a flow channel with an inlet opening and an outlet opening, a difference in pressure prevailing between inlet opening and outlet opening. This difference in pressure may be produced by an external or internal blower.
