Abstract: An upright vacuum cleaner for cleaning a surface includes an upper body having a dust collection container disposed therein, a base unit and a carriage configured to move the base unit on the surface. A tilting joint is disposed between the base unit and the upper body. The tilting joint is operable to provide tilting of the upper body relative to the base unit about a horizontal axis from a vertical parked position to an inclined tilted operating position. A swivel joint is disposed between the base unit and the upper body. The swivel joint is operable to provide a change in a direction of travel of the base unit by twisting the upper body. A rotation-locking device is configured to lock the upper body against rotation when the vacuum cleaner is in the parked position.

Abstract: An upright vacuum cleaner for cleaning a surface includes an upper body with a handle, a base unit and a carriage configured to move the base unit on the surface. The carriage includes a wheel disposed in a rear portion of the base unit. A motor-fan unit is disposed in the base unit and configured to create a partial vacuum at the surface. A tilting joint provides for relative tilting between the upper body and the base unit. The tilting joint has a pivot axis extending in a horizontal direction when the vacuum cleaner is in a position of use. The wheel is mounted on a pivotable carrier member, which has a pivot axle that is spaced apart from a rotatable axle of the wheel. A pivoting mechanism is disposed on the tilting joint in a vicinity of the carrier member and is configured to pivot the carrier member and the wheel during a pivoting movement of the upper body relative to the base unit.

Abstract: An upright vacuum cleaner for cleaning a surface includes an upper body with a dust collection container disposed therein, a base unit and a carriage configured to provide movement of the base unit on the surface. A tilting joint connects the upper body and base unit. The tilting joint is configured to provide relative tilting between the upper body and the base unit about a tilting axis extending horizontally when the upright vacuum cleaner is in a position of use. At least one cover configured to cover a clearance in a vicinity of the tilting joint between the upper body and the base unit.

Abstract: A canister vacuum cleaner includes a housing, a suction hose connectable to the housing, a vacuum attachment, and a suction wand. The suction wand includes at least an upper wand section and a lower wand section that can be separated from one another, an upper end of the upper wand section being couplable with the suction hose, a lower end of a lower wand section being couplable with the vacuum attachment, at least one of the lower wand section and the vacuum attachment being configured to be held to the housing in a parked position by a first connector, a second connector being disposed on the upper wand section and attachable to the lower wand section.

Abstract: A method for the deoxofluorination of a ketone for the production of a geminal difluoride compound in an industrial scale comprising the following steps: preparing an educt mixture comprising a ketone and a dialkylaminosulfur trifluoride, letting flow the educt mixture into a reaction chamber of defined length, diameter and volume, with a flow path having a width perpendicular to the direction of the flow in the range of 1-10 mm, at a temperature of at least 75° C. up to 120° C., preferably between 80 and 100° C., to perform the deoxofluorination reaction and obtaining a product mixture to quench the product mixture with a basic aqueous solution in a cooled reservoir vessel.

Abstract: An air outlet device (1) for vehicles, in particular airplanes, comprises a panel (2) with at least one receiving opening, an air outlet (3) arranged in the receiving opening, and a sealing means (6) sealing the air outlet (3) and the panel (2) against each other. At the panel (2) and/or the air outlet (3), a securing means (8) is configured, it serves to mount the air outlet (3) to the panel (2). During the assembly of the air outlet device (1), the securing means (8) holds the air outlet (3) in a defined position in the panel (2) so that curing adhesives can be used as sealing means (6) without any problem.

Abstract: The operating and/or display unit for installation above the seats in vehicles, in particular in aircraft, is provided with a ceiling-mounted element (24) having a front and a rear side (26,28), operating elements (18,22) and/or optical display elements arranged on the ceiling-mounted element (24), at least one electric and/or electronic component arranged on the rear side (28) of the ceiling-mounted element (24), and a covering hood (32) adapted to be attached to the rear side (28) of the ceiling-mounted element (24) and to cover the component. The covering hood (32) comprises projecting hook elements (40,42) for clampingly holding an electric cable (34), and a cable passage (36). The hook elements (40,42) are arranged side by side, and a plurality of hook elements (40,42) face in opposite directions relative to each other. Two adjacent hook elements (40,42) facing in opposite directions are offset to obtain an undulating cable routing.
