Abstract: A squeeze bottle dispenser having a squeezable liquid reservoir, and a discharge head with a discharge opening. The squeeze bottle dispenser has a protective sleeve captively connected to the liquid reservoir and which, with respect to a main axis, is displaceable relative to the liquid reservoir between a protection position and a release position. In the protection position, the protective sleeve prevents or impedes manual application of force to the liquid reservoir and therefore the discharge of liquid. In the release position, the protective sleeve does not prevent or impede manual application of force to the liquid reservoir and thus permits the discharge of liquid.

Abstract: A load-lifting device for mounting on a vehicle, including a platform for receiving a load which can be brought from a lowered into a raised working position, and back again, as well as a linking lever, a support element, a drive element and a connection element. The linking lever that is pivotally mounted on the platform is linked to the vehicle at a linking end region. The support element attached to the platform includes a foot end which braces the ground. The drive element brings the support element from a resting state associated with the resting position of the platform, into a working state in which the foot end is braced on the ground and the platform is raised into the working position. The connection element functions to control the rotational position of the linking lever and the pivot position of the platform according to the support element.

Abstract: Dispenser with a reservoir for storing liquid, and a discharge opening through which the liquid can be dispensed. The dispenser includes a metering device for discharging a defined liquid quantity upon actuation of the dispenser. The metering device at the entry side is connected to the reservoir and at the exit side is connected to the discharge opening. The metering device includes a pre-metering chamber which via an infeed duct is connected to the reservoir, and a main metering chamber which via an intermediate duct is connected to the pre-metering chamber, and via a discharge duct is connected to the discharge opening. The pre-metering chamber and the main metering chamber each have one repositionable wall, the respective chamber volume being variable by repositioning the wall. The walls are operatively coupled such that a volumetric enlargement of the pre-metering chamber causes a volumetric reduction of the main metering chamber.

Abstract: In a measuring device for the measurement of the brake torque on an aircraft landing gear, a connecting element that is transversally loaded by the brake torque is provided with measuring elements which produce a measuring signal in function of a deformation of the connecting element. In one of two preferred variants, the measuring elements are attached to the surface of a cavity in the connecting element, and in the second preferred embodiment, a corresponding sensor is introduced into the connecting element as a whole, the sensor being so designed that deformations affect its enclosure and deform the latter as well.

Abstract: The seismic mass (4) of an accelerometer that comprises at least one electromechanical transducer is stabilized in the direction perpendicular to the sensible axis by at least one laterally stabilizing element (8) arranged between the electromechanical transducer (9) and a structural element (7). This stabilization eliminates or at least drastically reduces any distortions of the measurement results provoked by transversal accelerations.

Abstract: Pressure measuring instrument, comprising a mounting plate and a flexible separating element which is disposed in an opening of the mounting plate and fastened thereto, and which separating element is under the action of a measured pressure during the pressure measurement. In order to compensate errors of the pressure measurement due to accelerations, the pressure measuring instrument further comprises a reference body which is connected to said mounting plate via a suspension and comprises a reference surface facing a surface of said separating element, the reference body and the suspension being so designed that when the entire pressure measuring instrument is subject to an acceleration, the resulting displacement of the reference surface of said reference body is equal to the displacement of the surface of said separating element on account of the acceleration.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a device for contactless and digital measurement of a linear or angular condition of a first piece with respect to a second piece. A series of ferromagnetic encoding marks are provided onto a non-magnetic substrate of one of the pieces. The encoding marks are produced by a strongly local heating of the surface of a non-magnetic substrate of an austenitic steel stabilized by a metalloid in interstitial solution. Displacement, speed and acceleration of a linear or angular kind of one piece with respect to a second piece can thereby be measured with great accuracy.

Abstract: The seismic mass is fixed to the mounting base by a tension bolt. This bolt passes with an important play through an opening of a piezoelectric transducer arranged between the mounting base and the seismic mass. Under the influence of inertial forces which act perpendicularly to the axis of the bolt on the seismic mass, bending loads occur which result in an increase of the pressure at one side and in a decrease of the pressure at the other side of the piezoelectric transducer. The piezoelectric transducer has four electrodes mounted on its top face and four electrodes mounted on its bottom face so as to provide a biaxial accelerometer.

Under the influence of inertial forces which act perpendicularly to the axis of the bolt on the seismic mass, bending loads occur which result in an increase of the pressure at one side and in a decrease of the pressure at the other side of the piezoelectric transducer. The transducer has halves polarized in opposite directions and subjected to pressures varying in opposite sense and electrodes covering the top and bottom surfaces of the halves, signals of the same polarity being induced under the bending loads. External influences which act uniformly on the transducer are compensated.
