  • Publication number: 20220388687
    Abstract: A device having an opening with an edge, whereby on at least one side region of this edge, at least one cleaning element is located, and a support element for limiting the rotation of the opening about a rotation axis and for absorbing compressive forces is arranged on an opposite further side region, and wherein the opening is arranged in a frame which is tiltably connected to a holder via a joint providing the axis of rotation, so that both the at least one cleaning element and the support element can be rested against the rotor blade.

  • Patent number: 11486468
    Abstract: A gearwheel for a gear system for a planetary gear system of a chassis assistance system. The gearwheel is divided into at least a first spur gear and a second spur gear which are spaced apart from one another along a common rotational axis. The gearwheel has, in addition, an open spring ring with a first end, which is supported in a circumferential direction against the first spur gear, and a second end, which is supported in the direction opposite to the circumferential direction against the second spur gear in such manner that by rotating the spur gears, relative to one another about the common rotational axis, the spring ring can be stressed in order to exert a restoring torque on the spur gears. A recess is formed on at least one of the spur gears for holding part of the spring ring.

  • Publication number: 20060202491
    Abstract: An operating mechanism for building components such as windows, doors and the like comprises at least one handle and an actuating element that ca be made to engage the handle in a mutually non-rotational manner. A blocking device is situated between the handle and the actuating element and is designed so that the actuating element is insertable in a first direction into the handle whereas its displacement in the opposite direction is blocked.
