  • Publication number: 20210190131
    Abstract: A treatment machine comprises a chamber for the treatment of one substrate or a plurality of substrates. A rotatably supported temperature-controlled shaft (30) defines a cylindrical, gas-tight hollow space. A heating arrangement (40, 50) is provided for electrically heating at least a part of the shaft (30) arranged in the chamber. The heating arrangement (40, 50) comprises an accommodation mandrel (40) for accommodating at least one electrical heating element (50), said accommodation mandrel (40) being arranged in a non-rotating manner and extending into the hollow space of the shaft (30). An outer surface of the accommodation mandrel (40) is spaced apart from an inner surface of the shaft (30) by a gap.

  • Publication number: 20050083708
    Abstract: A clip which is configured to keep a headlamp adjuster together during installation (and preferably also shipping), thereby allowing for one hand, easier installation. The clip can be left on the assembly after installation, or it can be removed, whichever is preferred. The clip is configured such that leaving it in place will not interfere with standard operation of the headlamp adjuster. A method of installing a headlamp adjuster with one hand is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6796693
    Abstract: A headlamp adjuster configured for engagement with a reflector of a headlamp assembly. The headlamp adjuster includes a U-shaped structure which is engaged with a screw and which is engageable with the reflector. The screw is prevented from translating substantially upon rotation, but the headlamp adjuster is configured such that rotation of the screw causes the U-shaped structure to translate thereby moving the reflector. The screw includes an externally threaded shaft portion which is threadably engaged with an internally threaded bore of the U-shaped structure. The U-shaped structure may be a single piece which is engaged with the screw and is engageable with the reflector, or may include a U-shaped member which is engaged with the screw and a slide member, where the slide member is engageable with the reflector.
