  • Patent number: 11525536
    Abstract: A sealing device is provided for sealing a transition between a main line and a branch line. An insert has a main part disposed in the main line. A connector is disposed in the branch line. A first expandable inner sleeve for bracing the main part in the main fine is provided, as well as at least a second expandable inner sleeve for bracing the connector in the branch line. An inner sleeve having a locking device is also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10473085
    Abstract: A trailing-edge segment of a wind-turbine rotor blade for increasing a profile depth of the rotor blade of a wind turbine. The trailing-edge segment of a wind-turbine rotor blade comprises at least one inner blade segment, having an inner blade shell, at least one middle blade segment, having a middle blade shell. In this case, the at least one middle blade segment and the at least one inner blade segment can be coupled to each other via a coupling means, and the coupling means has at least one shell element, having two inner sides that are parallel to each other and form a receiving space, designed to receive at least one of the inner blade shell or middle blade shell, and the two inner sides each being realized such that they can be connected to at least one of the inner blade shell or middle blade shell, in such a manner that a force acting upon the trailing-edge segment of a wind-turbine rotor blade is introduced centrically into the coupling means.
