Abstract: A blanking plug is used for sealing provisionally connection openings (3) of non-installed liquid-operated units, in particular of oil-hydraulic systems (1) for motor vehicles. A section (12) of the blanking plug (10) is inserted into, and fills up, the connection opening (3). The section (12) is provided with a hollow space communicating with a closed portion of the connection opening (3). The hollow space is filled with a material tending to absorb the respective liquid, for example a tampon (17).

Abstract: A handle fitting for a drive rod locking arrangement for windows, doors and the like, in which a drive rod actuating lever (4) is mounted in a housing (1) for pivotal movement about an axis B and an actuating handle is rotatable about an axis A intersecting the axis B. The drive shaft of the operating handle includes a coupling portion (20) having a concentric shoulder (24) engaging in an opening (12) to retain the lever (4) in place and a crank (19) engages in a slot (18) in a laterally movable drive slide having a projection (17), so that lateral movement of the slide caused by the crank (19) effects pivotal movement of the lever (4).

Abstract: A crucible for melting, and particularly for heat retention and pouring of metals, in particular light metal- or zinc- alloys, with a heat source arranged inside of the melt. A heat source tube extends in a bridge-like manner between the crucible walls, with heating elements entering from a front end of the heat source tube.
