Patent number: 4640051Abstract: The mechanism of the invention can be mounted on and in contact with a frame. A spindle (2) is disposed within a shallow strip-like housing (1) parallel to an edge of a glazed sash of a window or door and a slider (3) displaceable on rotation of the spindle (2) is mounted on the spindle in order to drive a latching and/or deployment device for the glazed sash. The spindle can be adjusted by means of a knob-like handle (4) which is drivingly connected with the spindle (2) via gears (5, 6). A safety coupling (15 to 23) which limits the maximum achievable positioning force is arranged inside the handle (4).Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 1985Date of Patent: February 3, 1987Assignee: Geze GmbHInventors: Helmut Maier, Ralf Storandt, Heinz Guenther, deceased, by Renate Guenther, legal representative, by Sabine Guenther, legal representative

Patent number: 4010514Abstract: The arrangement is used for continuously cleaning surface-sensitive paper or film in web form. The arrangement may be installed at any point along the path of web travel. The cleaning effect is provided by a ribbon of fibrous nonwoven material which is guided over a suction roller together with the web to be cleaned. The ribbon of fibrous nonwoven material moves in the opposite direction to the web. A highly satisfactory cleaning effect is obtained by the high relative speed between the surface to be cleaned and the web of nonwoven material. The particles of dust and dirt removed from the web are drawn into the suction roller under the effect of the vacuum.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1975Date of Patent: March 8, 1977Assignee: AGFA-Gevaert, A.G.Inventors: Josef Fischer, Johann Baarfusser, Helmut Maier
