  • Publication number: 20130051059
    Abstract: An optically adjustable light module, such as a daytime running lamp of a motor vehicle, includes a housing. At least one light source is rotatable about a rotational axis and has an optical axis, the light source being disposed in an interior of the housing. A direction adjuster is disposed at an exterior of the housing. The housing is sealed against moisture. Movement of the direction adjuster rotates the light source about the rotational axis and adjusts a position of the optical axis.

  • Publication number: 20130051058
    Abstract: An optically adjustable light module, such as a daytime running lamp of a motor vehicle, includes a light source (e.g., including an LED) which is rotatable about a rotational axis and has an optical axis. An arm is connected to the light source such that movement of the arm enables rotation of the light source and adjustment of the optical axis.

  • Patent number: 8356922
    Abstract: An automotive daytime running lamp assembly includes an incandescent light source received within a reflector member. The reflector member is formed as a surface of revolution about a longitudinal axis and has an enlarged, first end, and a narrowed, second end with an opening that receives at least a portion of a light source therethrough along the longitudinal axis. A sleeve is received over a portion of the light source and at least partially extends through the reflector member opening. A cap received over the second end of the reflector member about the opening is fixedly secured to a disk, preferably by fusing or welding the components together. Likewise, the disk and metal sleeve are fixedly secured or fused/welded together so that the light source is fixed relative to the reflector member. A mounting member is provided for secure optical positioning of the assembly in a fixture of the associated automotive vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4509330
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatically controlled pressure transducer for operating hydraulic work tools having a dual operating cylinder, on one side of which a pneumatically operable piston, on the other side a hydraulically operable piston is provided and, to the hydraulic side of which a hydraulically operable working tool can be joined.The essence of the invention resides in that a control valve is provided which is coupled with the primary space located in front of the piston of the pneumatically operable cylinder of the operating cylinder and, which is connected into an operating relationship with a starting valve, and wherein the control valve is connected over a throttle-check valve to a further valve on one side, while on the other side, over a quick exhaust valve, is connected with a hydraulic container, respectively, over a valve with the secondary space of the pneumatically operable cylinder.

  • Patent number: 4116897
    Abstract: A compounded plastic system containing 3 to 90% by weight of a crystalline polyolefine, 0.4 to 80% by weight of a non-crystalline polyolefine, 25 to 90% by weight of a pigment and/or filling agent, 0.5 to 10% by weight of surfactants, and optionally other polymers, wherein the system contains two surfactants of different HLB-values, the one surfactant having a HLB-value lower than 9 and the other surfactant having a HLB-value higher than 9, both surfactants being heat-resistant up to at least 160.degree. C.The compounded plastic system according to the invention retains the properties of the starting system even when admixed with widely varying amounts of filling agents, and even more, in certain respects it possesses improved characteristics.
