  • Publication number: 20230029407
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cleaning device for cleaning a nozzle applicator, which is designed for applying a coating agent to a component and has a plurality of application nozzles in a nozzle region in order to discharge the coating agent through the application nozzles during application in an application direction. The cleaning device comprises a rinsing agent supply for supplying a rinsing agent for cleaning the nozzle applicator, and a docking interface for docking the nozzle applicator to be cleaned to the cleaning device. The disclosure provides that the docking interface is configured to flush the rinsing agent into the nozzle applicator through the application nozzles of the nozzle applicator in a direction opposite to the normal application direction. Furthermore, the disclosure comprises a corresponding cleaning method.

  • Publication number: 20070300332
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Landscape Shrub Rose Plant is provided that abundantly and substantially continuously forms attractive bright pink double blossoms. Such blossom coloration can be distinguished from the bright red coloration of the parental ‘Radtko’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,202). A round and bushy growth habit is displayed. The ornamental green foliage displays a satiny finish and contrasts nicely with the blossom coloration. Excellent resistance to blackspot as well as very good winter hardiness have been observed.
