Publication number: 20250100315Abstract: An optically variable surface pattern which is designed to provide a multi-color representation when viewed from at least one predefined viewing angle and includes a multiplicity of surface elements which are provided with relief structures, at least one of the relief structures having nanostructures that act as color filters. The relief structures are selected from a set of at least four relief structures that differ from one another, each of which generating a color impression corresponding to a predefined monochromatic color when viewed from the predefined viewing angle, and each of the monochromatic colors corresponding to a different basic color. The surface elements are dimensioned such that, in at least one subregion of the surface pattern, when viewed from the at least one predefined viewing angle, a color impression corresponding to a mixed color that differs from the predefined basic colors can be generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Christian FUHSE, Christian STOCKL, Moritz HOFER

Publication number: 20250017141Abstract: A motorized lawnmower has a drive motor which has a drive shaft, a movable cutting tool, and a mower housing having a hood-shaped mower deck which is open towards a mowing side. The mower housing is configured for use with a motorized lawnmower having an internal combustion engine as the drive motor. A belt compartment is provided in the mower housing outside the mower deck. The drive motor is an electric motor, and a cooling air routing having an air inlet, an air outlet and an air guiding path from the air inlet to the air outlet is formed in the mower housing. A fan which is capable of being driven by the electric motor is arranged in the air guiding path, and the belt compartment is configured to form part of the air guiding path.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Christian SANDBICHLER, Markus Gassner, Kurt Hoerfarter, Manfred Hofer, Walter Wiest, Clara Wohnlich
