  • Publication number: 20180195524
    Abstract: The invention relates to a compressor wheel for a high-speed compressor composed of a polymer material, having a wheel front side (6), a wheel rear side (11) and a wheel hub (3), wherein the wheel front side (6) has a curvature, by virtue of which the distance between a plane extending radially through the outer circumference (15) of the wheel front side (6) and the surface of the wheel front side (6) increases from the outer circumference (15) toward the wheel hub (3), and guide vanes (7) are arranged on the wheel front side (6). The wheel hub (3) projects in an axial direction on the wheel rear side (11), and reinforcing ribs (13) extend from the wheel hub (3) toward the outer circumference (15), wherein the distance between a plane extending radially through the outer circumference (15) of the wheel rear side (11) and the trailing edge (19) of the reinforcing ribs (13) increases from the outer circumference (15) of the wheel rear side (11) toward the wheel hub (3).

  • Patent number: 6704951
    Abstract: Drop side of a child-proof crib has a top portion which can be lowered with respect to its bottom portion. Its top railing is rendered vertically translatable by employing telescoping stiles between it and the bottom railing. Double-action latch mechanisms in the upper railing hold the drop-side upper portion up. The drop-side upper railing has an upper bar fixedly secured upon a lower bar: the lower surface of the upper bar opens to a longitudinally-extending groove slidably receiving rods of the two latches that are biased outwardly from central triggers to beyond the outer ends of the railing to where they each engage on their free ends a shoulder-bearing latch bracket mounted on the opposing face of the associated corner post. Crib mattress platform is adjustable vertically using plunger latch mechanisms whose plungers are withdrawable only by inserting a tool through a narrow slot in the platform.
