  • Patent number: 7513970
    Abstract: A method for fabrication of a bent reinforcing rod in a composite material is described, where the reinforcing rod is composed of longitudinal fibers and a sheathing layer of fibers or foil, comprising the steps: to moisten fiber thread with a binding agent, to reel the moistened fiber thread to a bundle with a closed, approximately circular shape, consisting of a layer of longitudinal, parallel fibers of a desired thickness, whereby all the fibers in the layer obtain an approximately equal axial tightening, and to envelope an outer layer of fiber threads, and/or foil, or other suitable material, around the layer of longitudinal fibers, and that the fabricated blank is given a final form in a second forming process. The invention also relates to a device (10) for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 4620393
    Abstract: The manually releasable stop device permits unimpeded swinging of the window within a limited angle of rotation between the closed and partially open window. After releasing the stop device further swinging of the window is permitted beyond the limited angle of rotation. The stop device comprises two cooperating stop members (25, 26) which are fastened to respective support members (14, 18) in the window hinge which are pivotable relative to each other. A first stop member is constituted by a stop element (26) fixedly fastened to the one support member (14), and the second stop member is constituted by a self-locking catch element (25) fastened to the other support member (18). The catch element cooperates with a positive control mechanism (26, 32, 37, 39) in the pivotal region of the window within the limited angle of rotation.
