Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a liquid drink dispensing apparatus. The apparatus comprises a gas generating component and a liquid drink dispensing component. The generated gas is supplied to the liquid drink dispensing component which infuses the generated gas into a liquid drink prior to dispensing the gas-infused liquid drink. The advantage of using a gas generating component is that the gas can be created on-site and no bottled gas needs to be used. This obviates the problems associated with purchasing, storing, using and replacing gas cylinders.

Abstract: An electric motor for driving a motor vehicle component, such as a fan motor for cooling cooling water, has a thermal fuse with a contact spring. The contact spring has attached ends that are connected to a conducting path section between which an interruption point is formed. The springy ends of the contact spring are in soldered contact with each other in a spring-biased manner. The thermal fuse is a fuse module with a plastic support in which the conducting path sections are partially embedded in such a way that the contact spring lies in a window opening in the support. Terminals of the conducting path sections protrude from the plastic support.

On the untreated side and/or on the clean side, in each case one common flow duct leads rectilinearly along both screen plunger bores and, in a production position, tangentially intersects the screen cavities.

Abstract: The invention relates to a screen changer in a system that processes flowable plastic. The screen changer includes an element, such as a portafilter, that is movable between two positions; two hydraulic pumps that effect position change of the screen changer; and a motor that operates both pumps. One pump provides greater flow volume and the other provides a lower flow volume, but with greater pressure. A non-return valve in the supply line to the hydraulic cylinder controls flow to the cylinder that moves the movable element between positions. The volume pump is used to move the movable element when resistance to movement of the screen is low and the high-pressure pump to move the element when resistance is high. The non-return valve selectively enables or interrupts flow from the pumps to the hydraulic cylinder. The screen changer allows use of a non-pressurized hydraulic fluid reservoir.

Abstract: The invention describes a spring-loaded connection with a busbar piece and a bent clamping spring, which has a bearing limb, a spring bend adjoining the bearing limb and a clamping limb which adjoins the spring bend opposite the transition between the bearing limb and the spring bend. The clamping limb is aligned with the busbar piece so as to form a clamping point for an electrical conductor. An actuating lug extends away from the clamping limb. The actuating lug extends from the clamping limb past the bearing limb into an actuating region located behind the bearing limb, when viewed from the clamping limb in the direction of the bearing limb. The actuating lug has, in this actuating region, an abutment for an actuating element which can be arranged in the actuating region between the bearing limb and the abutment.
