Patent number: 11951886Abstract: A vehicle-mountable child safety seat assembly is disclosed. The seat assembly includes a safety seat and a prop assembly mounted with respect to the safety seat. The prop assembly has a stowed position and a safely deployed position. The prop assembly includes: a leg assembly; a foot assembly mounted to the leg assembly; and a first sensor, for example a tilt sensor, for sensing when the prop assembly is not in the stowed position. A second sensor for sensing when the prop assembly is not in the safely deployed position is also provided. A warning system is also disclosed. The warning system changes from a timing state to the warning state if the second sensor senses that the prop assembly is not in its safely deployed position by a pre-determined time after the change from a standby state to a timing state.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: BRITAX RÖMER KINDERSICHERHEIT GMBHInventors: Bernd Häußler, Nabil Kzaiz, Marcel Brenner

Publication number: 20230226957Abstract: A child safety seat and base assembly wherein a base is arranged to be secured with respect to a motor vehicle and a seat is arranged to be removably secured is disclosed. The assembly includes: a rotary element rotatably mounted to the base; a seat latch on the rotary element that engages the child safety seat to releasably hold the child safety seat to the base and rotary element; a seat latch actuation assembly for opening or closing the seat latch wherein opening the seat latch releases the child safety seat; and an interlock mechanism actuated upon opening the seat latch that prevents rotation of the rotary element with respect to the base. The seat latch actuation assembly may include a slidably mounted handle, wherein in use, the base blocks access to the handle when the seat is in any position other than one or two side-loading position(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Applicant: Britax Römer Kindersicherheit GmbHInventors: Richard Frank, Bernd Häußler, Richard Henseler

Patent number: 8469242Abstract: Disclosed is a dispensing device for dispensing liquid from a container having a top, a side wall and a bottom, comprising a sleeve which can be inserted into the top in a sealing manner and into which a rising pipe opens via an inflow opening, a piston which is movable in the sleeve and can be moved between a closed position, in which the inflow opening is closed off by the piston, and an opened position, in which the inflow opening is connected to an outlet opening via a cavity of the piston. The outlet opening opens into an outlet channel of an extension arm which protrudes laterally from the sleeve and the output of which is coupled to a dispensing valve which can be activated by means of an actuating member in order to allow, in the opened position, liquid to be dispensed.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2010Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: HUBER Packaging Group GmbHInventors: Philipp Kolon, Bernd Haeussler, Rainer Opferkuch

Patent number: 7866510Abstract: Disclosed is a device for dispensing a fluid, in particular a carbonated beverage, from a storage chamber of a container towards the outside via at least one closeable discharge port, comprising a pressure reservoir which is separated from the storage chamber and in which a pressurized propellant is accommodated, and which can be connected to the storage chamber via a pressure regulation mechanism. The pressure regulation mechanism includes an axially moveable regulating element that is impinged upon by means of a spring in the direction of an open position in which propellant is discharged from the pressure reservoir into the storage chamber. The ambient pressure to which the container is exposed acts upon the regulating element in the direction of the open position, and the internal pressure inside the storage chamber of the container acts upon the regulating element in the direction of the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2006Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Huber Verpackungen GmbH + Co. Kg.Inventors: Peter Schneider, Rudolph Thewes, Bernd Haeussler, Karl-Friedrich Krause

Patent number: 5734658Abstract: In a data communication system, in particular for a motor vehicle, the transmission lines that lead to the individual terminals are interconnected at a passive network in a star configuration and are there provided with frequency-dependent attenuation means, preferably ferrite beads. Good characteristic impedance adaptation is thus obtained for suppressing high-frequency distributing signals, while retaining free choice of the system parameters for the steady data symbolic state. The system may be enlarged by means of additional star networks into a tree or meshed structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1994Date of Patent: March 31, 1998Assignee: Daimler Benz AGInventors: Bernhard Rall, Franz Josef Petry, Juergen Minuth, Thilo Kuehner, Sebastion Grimmeisen, Bernd Haeussler, Juergen Dorner, Wolfgang Appel

Patent number: 5483639Abstract: A device for monitoring balanced two-wire bus lines and two-wire but interfaces has first, second and third comparison circuits for comparing the wire potentials with one another and with a fixed reference voltage, and two shift registers or counters as well as at least one pulse generator for deriving reset pulses from each change in sign of the potential comparison of the two bus conductors with one another. The shift registers or counters are respectively reset by the reset pulses. Result signals produced from the comparison of the bus potentials with a fixed reference voltage can be fed to the shift registers or counters for the purpose of shifting or incrementing said registers or counters respectively. The register length or number of counter stages can be selected as a function of a desired bit error tolerance depth. The device can be extended by a self-resetting system after temporary bus disturbances.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1994Date of Patent: January 9, 1996Assignee: Mercedes-Benz AGInventors: Bernd Haeussler, Max Reeb, Karl-Heinz Mueller
