  • Patent number: 11808967
    Abstract: A light deflecting device including a flat, transparent light guide, and a transparent cover layer which is applied to the light guide at least partially in a flat manner. A microstructure for outcoupling light coupled into the light guide is formed between the light guide and the cover layer and the microstructure has a plurality of structural elements which are formed as substantially circular cylindrical elevations. A lighting device and the use of the light deflecting device or lighting device are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4803882
    Abstract: An unbalance measuring station (1) is disclosed toward which a rotor to be balanced is carried by a transport system (7). The station (1) contains an unbalance measurement unit (10) as well as devices (11, 12) for loading the rotor (6) into the unbalance measurement unit. The unit is essentially arranged above the plane of the path of movement of the transport system (7). The unbalance measuring station (1) is particularly suited for use in connection with transfer and assembly lines.

  • Patent number: 4641360
    Abstract: A carrying bag comprises two substantially rectangular sheets of plastic film, which constitute mutually opposite walls and are joined along three edges and have free edge portions defining an opening of the bag, also comprising a stiffening bar, which is made of synthetic thermoplastic material and is parallel to the free edge portion of one of said walls and is welded to the inside surface of said one wall at said free edge portion, said bar having an intermediate portion which is integral with a U-shaped handle, which is adapted to be positively connected to the free edge portion of the other wall. The free edge portion of the other wall of the bag is welded on its inside surface to a second stiffening bar, which is made of synthetic thermoplastic material and is parallel to the free edge portion of said other wall, and a slot is defined by said second bar and by a relatively low, U-shaped slot-defining member having legs which are integrally joined to said second bar.
