  • Patent number: 9042011
    Abstract: A microscope includes a light source including an LED device having a light radiating surface and a light directing element including a larger coupling-out surface. The light directing element is disposed so as to couple in light radiated by the light source and couple out the radiated light from the coupling-out surface. The light directing element is disposed so that the light is radiated out in an angular range of ±10° to ±50° and illuminates an area at 5 meters in an angular range of at least ±5° with intensity fluctuations of less than 50%. A condenser is disposed between the coupling-out surface of the light directing element and the object to be viewed. The condenser has an aperture with an aperture dimension and is disposed such that the aperture is irradiated completely with the light coupled out from the coupling-out surface.

  • Patent number: 8220602
    Abstract: Damping movement device of pieces of furniture which are movable relative to stationary parts. The device has a cylinder with a piston movable in a longitudinal direction, forming a modifiable working chamber filled with liquid medium. The liquid medium is transferred in a throttled manner. A piston rod is sealingly guided and connected to one side of the piston. The movement of the parts of furniture which is to be damped is transmitted to the piston via the outer end of the piston rod facing away from the piston. A volume compensating mechanism is provided. The piston rod is coupled to the piston with overflow ports. The non-return disk with overflow port is moved into sealing contact with the facing piston face. A spring biasing the facing faces of the non-return disk and the piston into the spaced-apart position is arranged between the non-return disk and the piston.

  • Patent number: 7399041
    Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide including an automatic retraction device having a pawl component with a receptacle that receives a catch on a running rail as the rails move relative to the guide rail when approaching a closed position and an entraining rocker. During a final part of retraction movement of the pawl component, the entraining rocker being coupled to and movable with the pawl component; and during an initial displacement path of the pawl component the entraining rocker being decoupled from the pawl component and retained against longitudinal displacement in the pawl housing. A first spring biasing the pawl component into a first end position and locking the pawl component; and a second spring for biasing the entraining rocker in a direction of retraction engages on the entraining rocker.
