Abstract: An anatomically shaped seat shell includes a first lateral profile and a second lateral profile with a longitudinal axis located between the first lateral profile and the second lateral profile, a median support located edgeways to the longitudinal axis of the scat shell and having an upper edge portion and a lower edge portion and seat bands located transverse to the median support and connected to the upper edge portion of the median support, the first lateral profile and the second lateral profile. A method of construction is also disclosed. By automatically adjusting the seat bands to the individual profile of the buttocks or posterior of a user, a high sitting stability and a high evenness of the distribution of sitting pressure are achieved. The distance of the seat bands from one another, in combination with an open-pore cellular material pad cut to the same thickness, provides a very good microclimate.

Abstract: A transmission for muscle-operated vehicles or appliances for converting forward and backward movements into rotational movement having a constant direction of rotation by means of two freewheeling devices which are driven alternately in opposite directions and act on a shaft in identical directions, wherein at least one additional freewheeling device is driven at the same time, though it operates in the opposite direction, a clutch mechanism either permitting the freewheeling devices to act in the same direction on the shaft for forward motion, or permitting the freewheeling devices to act in opposite directions on the shaft for reverse motion, or permitting none of the freewheeling devices to act on the shaft during idling.

Abstract: Multiphase transformer for power distribution in a supply network includes a single block of cast resin having high voltage and low voltage conductor windings embedded therein, and an iron core with a plurality of legs and an upper and lower yoke formed of closely-stacked transformer laminations centrally embedded in the block, the block having axially-extending ribs integral therewith defining troughs between the ribs and defining spaces between the ribs and the core, legs and yokes, watertight caps disposed between the ribs closing off the troughs and holding the core, legs and yokes, and mechanically compacted dry quartz sand filled in the space.
