  • Patent number: 11991849
    Abstract: To create a housing cover for fixing to a housing, in particular to a power inverter housing, wherein the housing cover is provided with a plurality of fastening means through openings and with a sealing bead that includes an elastomeric material, and wherein the sealing bead is arranged on a seal bearing surface of the housing cover, in which housing cover the course of the sealing bead can be more freely designed and, in particular, laid closer to the fastening means through openings of the housing cover, it is provided that the housing cover includes at least one deformation limiting element, which projects over the seal bearing surface in the same direction as the sealing bead and limits a deformation of the sealing bead in the assembled state of the housing cover.

  • Publication number: 20230032158
    Abstract: In order to improve a housing, in particular for an electrotechnical apparatus, comprising at least two housing parts which each have a connecting face, said connecting faces, in a closed state of the housing, facing one another along a connecting section, it is proposed that at least one of the at least two housing parts, along the connecting section, has at least one integrated protective section, in particular for EMC shielding and/or for mechanical protection.

  • Publication number: 20060249996
    Abstract: An air-distribution system (20) for the distribution of air in a structural unit (30) in the passenger compartment of a vehicle, in particular in a vehicle seat (31). The system has at least one air-distribution layer (4), which is located on a base (6?), and at least one limiting mechanism (41?), which at least partially limits the air-distribution layer (4) laterally at at least one of its peripheral edges (53). The limiting means (41?) is designed as at least partially different from base such that it is not integral with the base.

  • Patent number: 6265791
    Abstract: An energy transmission device allows several consumers to be supplied with energy independent of one another and provides contactless transmission of energy from a primary current line, through which alternating current flows, to a number of secondary, resident load circuits with at least one coil, each of which draws energy from the electromagnetic field of the current lead. An auxiliary line runs parallel to the current lead and it is connected with the current lead via several connecting points in order to conduct current from a first connecting point via the auxiliary line to a second connecting point. In at least one section of the line, between two connecting points, an adjustable impedance is provided in the auxiliary line which is controlled by a monitoring device in order to prevent blocking of the line by a disconnected consumer.
