Further, the plurality of fibers can be configured with each of the fibers in direct contact with the stretch resistant member.

Abstract: A center armrest supporting structure for mounting an arm support can be swiveled between a lower use position and an upper rest position for use in a vehicle. Here, the carrying structure as an element of the vehicle features a left and a right console part made of a metal sheet, which have the arm support mounted thereon via bolt sections. Here, each console part on the side facing toward the arm support features a bearing shell made of plastics, wherein the bearing shell can be mounted on the console part by an assembly movement which is directed at least partially in parallel to the swivel axis.

Abstract: A drinking vessel holder includes a drinking vessel receptacle arranged in a housing and a height-adjustable bottom element. The bottom element is arranged in the drinking vessel receptacle and can be displaced between an upper rest position and a lower set-down position, wherein a drinking vessel can be set down on the bottom element in the drinking vessel receptacle. A positionally adjustable supporting element prevents the drinking vessel from toppling over, and wherein the bottom element in the drinking vessel receptacle forms a first piston or else is connected to a first piston and the supporting element forms an annular piston between the housing and the drinking vessel receptacle or else is connected to at least one second piston, wherein movement of at least one of the first piston, the second piston, and the annular piston causes fluid overpressure and fluid underpressure.

Abstract: A device for the implantation of electrolytically severable occluding spirals in body cavities or blood vessels comprising a source of electrical power, a cathode, a catheter and an occluding spiral adapted to serve as an anode and able to slide in the catheter in the longitudinal direction, wherein the occluding spiral (3) is designed to be electrolytically corrodible at several spaced apart points so that when in contact with a body fluid one or more variably dimensioned lengths of the occluding spiral (3) may be severed by electrolysis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising an endovascular implant (1) to be introduced into blood vessels or body cavities of the human or animal body and an insertion aid (2), wherein the implant (1) and the insertion aid (2) being connected to each other via a detachment element (3) which is suitable to be dissolved at least partially after the device has been inserted into the body and in this manner causes the implant (1) to become detached or separated from the insertion aid (2), with said detachment element (3) being made of magnesium, a to magnesium alloy and/or a biodegradable material. Such a device enables particularly short detachment times to be attained.

Abstract: A material providing a fire-resistant finish for vehicle seats includes a first layer in the form of a grid, a second nonwoven layer including aramid fibers, and a third nonwoven layer including pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers.

Abstract: The invention provides for vaso-occlusive coils comprising fibers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical implant in the form of an elongated helix wherein at least one part of the helix is preformed in such a manner that it has a secondary structure of identically sized loops which it assumes during implantation at the placement site, with said structure in turn forming at the placement site during implantation a polyhedral tertiary structure, and the polyhedron being provided with at least one additional loop.

Abstract: The invention provides for vaso-occlusive coils comprising fibers.

Abstract: An arm rest with a drinking vessel holder is particularly intended for use as a back center arm rest for integration in the back rest of a vehicle. The need for a soft back rest and at the same time for integration of a drinking vessel holder is satisfied by the aspect that the drinking vessel holder is formed of a soft material in the bottom region. Moreover, the foam body for provision of padding is functionally employed for generating the retaining force required for retaining the drinking vessel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical implant (1?) in the form of an elongated helix wherein at least one part of the helix is preformed in such a manner that it has a secondary structure of identically sized loops which it assumes during implantation at the placement site, with said structure in turn forming at the placement site during implantation a polyhedral tertiary structure, and the polyhedron being provided with at least one additional loop.

Abstract: An infusion bag made of a nonwoven textile fabric is described, which includes fibers and/or filaments made of at least one filter material, the textile fabric having a hot-sealable surface which is formed by hot-sealable fibers and/or filaments made of at least one hot-sealable material. It is provided according to the present invention that the fibers and/or filaments made of the filter material and the fibers and/or filaments made of the hot-sealable material are present in the textile fabric in the form of a mixture, the proportion of the fibers and/or filaments made of the hot-sealable material increasing over the cross section toward the hot-sealable surface of the textile fiber as a gradient. The infusion bag according to the present invention is characterized by excellent filtering properties, high visual transparency, and an excellent pop-up function and is manufacturable simply and economically as a single-layer product. It is particularly well-suited for use as a tea bag or a coffee pod.

Abstract: Described is an infusion bag comprising a layer made of nonwoven fabric composed of bicomponent fibers and/or filaments composed of a high-melting component and a low-melting component, the high-melting component including a polyester. Problems in the fabrication of the nonwoven fabric are avoided by the fact that the low-melting component includes a likewise high-melting polymer having a melting point ?200° C.
