Patent number: 10024594Abstract: A domestic refrigeration appliance includes an interior for receiving foodstuffs which is bounded by walls, a door for closing the interior, a lighting apparatus which is configured to illuminate the interior at least while the door is open and at least one plate-shaped compartment divider which is disposed in the interior and is made of a transparent material. The lighting apparatus has a plurality of light sources which are disposed in a top wall bounding the interior and are oriented in such a way that the interior has substantially uniform illumination above and below the compartment divider because of the emitted light of the light sources.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2014Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: BSH Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: Stefan August Staedel, Sebastian Knoell, Uwe Beimborn, Andreas Schulte

Patent number: 9021680Abstract: An apparatus for variable setting of control times of gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine which has a drive element, an output element and a side cover. The drive element is brought into drive connection with a crankshaft, the output element is brought into drive connection with a camshaft, and the output element is arranged such that it can be pivoted with respect to the drive element. The side cover, which has a sealing cover with an opening and a mating element, axially delimits the output element and/or the drive element, and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the drive or output element by means of a fastening element. The fastening element reaches at least partially through the opening and interacts with the fastening element producing a rotationally fixed connection between the side cover and output element or drive element.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2011Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KGInventors: Juergen Weber, Andreas Schulte
