  • Patent number: 10538903
    Abstract: A sink plug arrangement comprises a first permanent magnet arranged to counteract movement of a sink plug within a sink outlet, wherein said sink plug is movable between a first and second state relative the sink outlet. A second permanent magnet arranged to, in the second state, repel the first magnet. A well-defined position is thereby achieved without any moving parts in the sink plug.

  • Publication number: 20070187408
    Abstract: Disclosed are a top shell (1) or bottom shell (2) made from a deep-drawn molded plastic part as well as a receptacle which is composed of the two joined shells. The invention further relates to a method and a device for producing a top shell or a bottom shell (1, 2). The aim of the invention is to create a first and second shell (1, 2) which can be produced inexpensively as a disposable item while allowing the same to be locked together in a fixed but easily removable manner by joining the two shells together so as to create a largely tight receptacle. Said aim is achieved, among other things, by embodying a reducing collar (5) between the holding edge (4) and the pot-type central part (3) on the top shell (1) while disposing at least two identically pitched threads (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f) on the inner face (6) of the holding edge (4).

  • Publication number: 20070051733
    Abstract: The invention relates to a container with a bottom shell (1) and a cover shell (2), and means for interlocking the cover shell with the bottom shell. It is proposed that the sustantially circular opening rim (3) of the bottom shell have at least two first sections (6, 6?, 6?, 6??) provided with radial extension and each having at least one undercut (4, 4?, 4?, 4??), that the cover shell (1) have at its opening rim (3?) at least two second sections (7, 7?, 7?, 7??) corresponding to the first sections as far as the radial extension is concerned, that the second sections (7, 7?, 7?, 7??) each have at least one undercut (5, 5?, 5?, 5??) which corresponds to the undercut of the appertaining first section (6, 6?, 6?, 6??) so that, during a rotation of bottom shell (1) relative to cover shell (2), interlocking takes place in the area of the undercuts of the first and the second appertaining sections.

  • Patent number: 5976194
    Abstract: A method and means for cleaning silk fabric for the prompt and efficient removal of stains from silk fabric, for example a stain on a silk tie, without causing visible lasting changes in color and without unpleasant smell. By means of a cleaning tissue, made of, for example, a textile material, essentially in the form of a wet tissue, impregnated with a grease solvent and a neutralizing agent, a stain on a silk tie is easily removed without any traces by rubbing the stain with the tissue, whereby the stain is dissolved by the grease solvent and is absorbed by the tissue, the smell-neutralizing agent preventing any unpleasant smell from spreading. The grease solvent may be a special boiling point spirit of heptane type. The smell-neutralizing agent may be an oil of terpene type, such as lemon oil.

  • Patent number: 5881398
    Abstract: To simplify fitting, securing and cleaning of a water trap to/from a washbasin or sink, there is provided a washbasin valve which has a water trap integral therewith and which forms a unit that can be inserted into and secured to the bottom of a washbasin, therewith a water drainage system can be connected directly to the valve. The washbasin valve is fitted by pushing the valve into a hole in the bottom of the basin and securing the valve therein, whereafter the valve is connected directly to a drain pipe. In cleaning the water trap, the seal is drawn-up out of the valve with the water drainage system still connected. No water will be spilled unnecessarily onto the floor beneath the washbasin in so doing.
