  • Patent number: 11758993
    Abstract: A holding device for cards and/or bank notes, contains an upwardly open housing including a bottom, the bottom including upwardly projecting side strips arranged at a distance from each other. All types of cards and/or bank notes can be received in the holding device in a permanently reliable manner and such that the material thereof is protected as far as possible. To this end, the side strips together with the bottom form a slide-in compartment that has a slide-in width along a defined grip length, at least in sections, which is larger than 52 mm and smaller than 53.98 mm.

  • Patent number: 9532509
    Abstract: A flower trimmer including a handle and a head connected thereto on which a blade with a cutting edge is disposed so that an end area of a flower stem brought against the cutting edge can be trimmed or cut off by a tensile force introduced at the handle. The head comprises an opening at the front end thereof through which opening the flower stem is inserted into the head substantially in the axial direction and directed past the blade. In the head, a cavity is provided next to the opening, the cavity being traversed by the blade.

  • Patent number: 9097044
    Abstract: A door and/or window stopper includes two branches each having a contour tapering toward a tip and further includes a coupling body, which is at least partially made of rubber or a flexible, rubber-like thermoplastic material or elastomer, wherein at least outer surfaces of the branches have a relatively high friction coefficient. The two branches have inner surfaces, which are connected to each other in a connecting region and extend away from each other outward to tips of the branches. The two branches are connected to each other by way of a connecting body and disposed in a V-shaped manner. Proceeding from the respective tips, the outer surfaces of the branches extend at decreasing distances toward the coupling body.

  • Publication number: 20140284227
    Abstract: The invention relates to a holding device for cards and/or notes, comprising a housing (2), which includes a clip (4) and a base (6). The holding device is to be improved to the effect that production is simplified, wherein secure storage of individual or multiple cards and/or notes is to be made possible. It is proposed for the base (6) of the housing (2), which is open at the top toward the at least one clip (4), to comprise upwardly projecting side ridges (10, 12), which are disposed at a distance from each other and, if no cards or notes are disposed in the housing (2), for the at least one clip (4) to be located partially between the side ridges (10, 12) and extend with a free end (36) at least approximately to the base (6).

  • Publication number: 20080222847
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stop for doors and windows. Said stop consists of an elastic rubber body with a high friction coefficient, which has a thicker round region tapering to an adjacent narrow tip region. According to the invention, the narrow tip region is curved inwards and the width of the body is slightly larger than the distance between the perpendicular case of a window and its frame, the thickness of said body being proportioned in such a way that it can stand on its edge. A stop of this type is versatile for doors and windows and can hold windows at various open angles.
