Patent number: 10955054Abstract: A mechanical seal arrangement includes a first mechanical seal with a rotating slide ring and a stationary slide ring, which define a sealing gap in between them. The mechanical seal arrangement includes a first sealing space that is filled with a sealing liquid. The first mechanical seal seals off the sealing space against a surrounding area, a first piston arrangement with a piston element and flexible wall areas that define a first piston interior space, wherein the first piston interior space is in fluid connection with the first sealing space. A piston outer surface of the piston element is in fluid connection with the surrounding area, and a first pre-stressing appliance that exerts a first preload force (F1) on the piston element of the first piston arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: EagleBurgmann Germany GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Peter Droscher, Andreas Pehl, Dieter Pfeil, Berthold Schulten, Glenn Schmidt, Eric Vanhie

Publication number: 20070076415Abstract: The present invention provides a lighting apparatus with an elongated housing which accommodates a light source. The housing may be pivoted to rotate between a stored position and a deployed position. The housing may be maintained at a plurality of desired positions within its range of rotation. In addition, according to a feature of the invention, the elongated housing may be relatively rigid, yet also articulated, so that it can flex transversely in response to an applied force. In an embodiment, the housing may be provided with a swivel portion that can be used to change the direction of the light. Various electrical features may be provided as well, such as a brightness control feature and an auto-off feature that switches off the light in the stowed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2005Publication date: April 5, 2007Applicant: B/E AEROSPACE, INC.Inventors: John Chou, Glenn Schmidt, Samuel Zeng, Amy Grumet-Avallone, Thomas Greenfield, Jennifer Gloisten
