  • Patent number: 8656864
    Abstract: A dung scraping device includes a safety system, a dung scraper (13) and a driving mechanism (17, 18) adapted to drive the dung scraper along a floor surface (11a) for animals such that the dung scraper pushes dung on the floor surface to a cross channel (14) located at an end portion (11d) of the floor surface). The safety system includes height detecting unit (20-22, 29) arranged to detect the presence of foreign objects having at least a predetermined height (x) above the floor surface and an emergency stop device (19, 26) arranged to receive information from the height detecting unit and to deactivate the driving mechanism when such a foreign object having the predetermined height (x) above the floor surface is detected such that the dung scraper is automatically emergency stopped before the foreign object is pushed into the cross channel.

  • Patent number: 6288176
    Abstract: An agent for the single-stage full blocking of polyisocyanates comprises or consists of an alcohol mixture A) comprising a) furfuryl alcohol or substituted furfuryl alcohols in an amount corresponding to from 60 to 90, in particular from 65 to 85, mol % of hydroxyl groups and b) at least one monoalcohol in an amount corresponding to at least 2 mol % of hydroxyl groups, based in each case on the total amount of hydroxyl groups in components a) and b). In addition, the alcohol mixture A) may also include at least one aliphatic polyol c) of low molecular mass with a functionality of three and/or more in an amount corresponding to at least 5 mol % of hydroxyl groups, based on the total amount of hydroxyl groups in components a), b) and c). In this case component b) can have a molecular weight of <163 g/mol.
