Publication number: 20230295971Abstract: Helical compression spring for use in an actuator for opening and closing a door or a tailgate of a car has an outer diameter between 15 and 50 mm and comprises a helically coiled steel wire. The steel wire has a non-circular cross-section with an equivalent diameter d (in mm) of the steel wire is between 1 mm and 12 mm. The cross-section may have at least two opposing parallel sides. The cross-section further has rounded edges, wherein the rounded edges have a radius of curvature ranging from 0.10 mm to 5.0 mm. The microstructure of the steel wire in the helical compression spring is cold deformed pearlite. In comparison with helical compression springs with round cross-sections, the non-round helical compression springs may occupy less space or reach higher breaking loads within the same space.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2021Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: NV Bekaert SAInventors: Pieter GHEKIERE, Wim VAN HAVER, Olivier CARDON, Johan VAN DE VELDE, Igor VRAZIC

Patent number: 11739024Abstract: A glass container has an outer glass surface with an inkjet printed image provided on the surface. A cold-end coating (CEC) with a thickness between 0 to 20 nm is present between the outer glass surface and the inkjet printed image. Such glass container is preferably a one-way beverage bottle. A method of inkjet printing an image on a glass container comprises the steps of (a) manufacturing a glass container having a CEC layer; (b) removing at least part of the CEC layer to a level wherein the remaining CEC layer has a thickness of 0 to 20 nm; and (c) inkjet printing an image on the glass container.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2017Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: ANHEUSER-BUSCH INBEV S.A.Inventors: Jonas Vandecruys, Marin Steenackers, Johan Van de Velde, Frederik De Graaf
