  • Patent number: 7153104
    Abstract: To prevent partial saturation of a getter by contact with absorbable atmospheric gases when the getter is introduced into a vacuum vessel, a method for introducing and activating the getter and a getter unit includes introducing the getter into the vacuum vessel packaged in a protective sleeve, closing off the vacuum vessel, evacuating the vessel, and opening the protective sleeve only after the evacuation has commenced. The protective sleeve can be opened by the sleeve being made to burst under the action of a protective gas atmosphere that is present.

  • Patent number: 7093318
    Abstract: To treat a surface by a device attracted to the surface by vacuum, it is necessary in most cases to guide a working device with a certain contact pressure over the surface. To be able to set the contact pressure of the working device with little effort, the device according to the invention rests at three points on the surface, one support point being formed by the working device. The force of attraction of the device against the surface is, therefore, accurately distributed to the working device and the other two supports so that the pressure force of the working device can be specifically varied and also controlled by varying the vacuum between the device and the surface.

  • Patent number: 6725497
    Abstract: With a work device that holds to a surface by vacuum pressure and can move on the surface to perform jobs and is connected to a base station through a supply line, there exists a danger that the work device will fall if the attractive force (vacuum pressure) weakens. To prevent such danger, the work device is connected to the base station through a safety line, with which it is possible to stop the fall of work device. As such, the work device can also be utilized in locations where it could fall from a great height in the event of failure, for instance, on the outside of buildings.
