Abstract: In a method for applying of IML films on crates, in particular bottle crates, a single, the entire crate circumference enclosing IML label is used, which is transferred via an insertion gripper after completion of cutting to the appropriate length in a tool for injection molding of the crate made of plastic and is inserted.

Abstract: A food chopper includes a housing and a chopping blade assembly disposed therein. The chopping blade assembly is held and guided in a guide of the housing so as to be movable to-and-fro along an operating direction counter to a force of a return spring in such a manner that the chopping blade assembly, during movement along the operating direction, is forcibly rotated and held in the upper rest position by the return spring and, in order to chop the food, is movable from the upper rest position downward against a counter-bearing face. A scraper element is rotationally driven by rotational movement of the chopping blade assembly and has a scraper edge having an elastic lip which is configured, during the rotational movement of the scraper element, to bear on an inner side of a side wall of the housing.

Abstract: A liquid vacuuming device for drawing off and vacuuming up liquids may include a housing (1), an extractor device formed by at least one extracting lip (7) for extracting and collecting the liquid in front of at least one vacuum mouth (5), a vacuuming device that features a motor-driven vacuum subassembly and is able to vacuum an air/liquid flow mixed with the liquid to be vacuumed up along a flow pathway from the vacuum mouth (5) through an intake channel (4) into the housing (1), a separating device (13) for separating the liquid from the air and a tank for receiving the separated liquid. The device may further include an on/off function that turns on the motorized drive or increases the motor power when pressure is exerted upon the extracting lip (7) and turns off the motorized drive or reduces the motor power when the pressure decreases. Similar functionality may be implemented by an orientation switch.

Abstract: A vessel cover and/or splash guard for cooking or household vessels, which may be formed from a plurality of individual segments that may be supported relative to one another so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation at different heights, so that they can be fanned out a screen-like manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vessel cover for vessels in the form of cooking vessels or household vessels, comprising a cover (1), which is formed from a plurality of individual segments (2), which can be placed on the vessel edge, wherein the individual segments (2) are supported relative to one another so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation at different heights, so that they can be fanned out a screen-like manner for the purpose of forming the cover (1), which at least partially covers the vessel, and can be rotated one on top of the other so as to form a stack in an inoperative position. The known covers have the disadvantage that they require a comparatively large amount of seepage space and/or that they can be attached to a steaming vessel only with the risk of being burnt.

Abstract: A mopping device includes a mopping head having at least one of a mopping cloth, a mopping cover, a mopping bundle, and a mopping pad. The mopping device further includes a handle and a multi-turn actuator.

Abstract: A foldable wiper plate includes a first plate wing pivotable about a first axis, and a second plate wing pivotable about a second axis differing from the first axis. The first plate wing includes a first lock-in device that releasably interlocks the first plate wing with the second axis.

Abstract: A mopping device includes a mop plate including a first mopping wing and a second mopping wing. The first and second mopping wings are configured to fold toward one another, and the first and second mopping wings each include a first material and each include at least one sliding element made of a second material. The mopping device further includes a first squeezing arm and a second squeezing arm disposed movably relative to the first and second mopping wings. The first and second squeezing arms are configured to respectively slide on the respective at least one sliding element and fold the first and second mopping wings toward one another.

Abstract: A foldable mop plate includes a first plate wing coupled to a second plate wing by an articulated coupling and at least one mopping cover. The at least one mopping cover is disposed on the first and second plate wings and configured to be squeezed out through a folding of the first and second plate wings toward one another. Further, a spacing between the first and second plate wings in a region of the articulated coupling is enlargeable upon a folding of the first and second plate wings toward one another.

Abstract: A chassis for a mopping system is provided wherein the mopping system is retained on the chassis on a mopping system receptacle. The mopping system may include a bucket and/or a wiping cloth press and/or a wiping cloth spinner. The chassis includes a braking device which is adapted to switch the chassis from a release position to a blocking position upon the application of a force to the mopping system receptacle. In the release position, the chassis is rollable and in the blocking position, the chassis is secured against rolling away.
