Abstract: A latching device for a circuit breaker includes a manual operating toggle moveably arranged between an OFF-position and an operation-readiness position, a moveable contact and a fixed contact, wherein the moveable contact is configured to open and close a main circuit of the circuit breaker. An energy storage mechanism is configured to store an actuating force of the toggle by the toggle being moved from the OFF-position to the operation-readiness position and to exert the stored force to the moveable contact to close the main circuit of the circuit breaker. A removable retention lever is configured to prevent movement of the moveable contact into a closing position upon the energy storage mechanism exerting the stored force to the moveable contact. A holding mechanism is configured to hold the toggle in the operation-readiness position.

Abstract: A closure cap for medicine containers and the like, having a bowl-shaped outer part made of PE or PP having at least one exposable penetration opening and a sealing element made of a soft plastic covering said opening. In order to obtain a reliable tight connection between the outer part and the sealing element, the sealing element is tightly connected all around to a socket encompassing the circumference thereof by injection into the same, and .the socket is tightly welded around the entire circumference thereof to the outer part or otherwise tightly connected thereto.

Abstract: The invention relates to a closure cap for infusion bottles and the like, having a bowl-shaped outer part (10) made of PE or PP having at least one exposable penetration opening (20, 24) and a sealing element (12) made of a soft plastic covering said opening. In order to obtain a reliable tight connection between the outer part (10) and the sealing element (12), the sealing element (12) is tightly connected all around to a socket (14) encompassing the circumference thereof by injection into the same, and the socket (14) is tightly welded around the entire circumference thereof to the outer part (10) or otherwise tightly connected thereto.

Abstract: A multipole circuit breaker includes an arcing chamber housing with a number of arcing chambers, corresponding to the number of poles, arranged next to each other. Each arcing chamber has a hinged contact bridge cooperating with a stationary contact arrangement. An interrupter shaft common to the poles of the multipole circuit breaker and including a number of shaft segments made of an insulating material, in each of which a contact bridge is arranged, is provided. The adjoining shaft segments are joined to each other by a respective coupling element, each coupling element including two tab-shaped parts joined to each other by a support shaft. Each tab-shaped part supports at least two first connecting pins on a side facing away from the support shaft and extending in an axial direction. The shaft segments each include recesses a side facing the coupling element, the recesses for receiving the connecting pins.

Abstract: A process for separation of mixtures of partially- or perfluorinated hydrocarbon compounds, which optionally contain additional chain members from the heteroatom group nitrogen, oxygen, boron, phosphorus and sulfur and/or can be substituted by further halogen atoms, characterized in that such partially- or perfluorinated compounds, which have an acyclic straight-chain structure and a critical molecule diameter in the range from 4 to 7 .ANG. or are substituted by residues with a straight-chain acyclic structure and with a critical molecule diameter in the range from 4 to 7 .ANG., of such partially- or perfluorinated compounds, which have no straight-chain acyclic residues, and whose critical molecule diameter amounts to at least 1.
