  • Patent number: 10736416
    Abstract: A set of panels including a first panel with a first main plane and a second panel with a second main plane. The first and the second panel include a mechanical locking device which is configured for locking a first edge of the first panel to a second edge of the second panel at a junction plane. The first main plane is essentially perpendicular to the second main plane and the junction plane is extending between the first main plane and the second main plane. The mechanical locking device includes at the first edge an edge tongue which extends from the junction plane and at the second edge includes an edge groove at the junction plane. The mechanical locking device includes a dowel at the first edge and a dowel groove at the second edge. The dowel is configured to cooperate with the dowel groove.

  • Patent number: 10218092
    Abstract: A cable terminal protection arrangement according to the disclosure comprises a cable terminal and a cable terminal protector to protect the cable terminal. The cable terminal comprises an end piece. The cable terminal protector comprises a housing and a suspension unit located within the housing. The suspension unit comprises a holding element for holding the end piece and an arm connecting the holding element to the housing. The holding element is displaceable relative to the housing from a first position to a second position, wherein, in the first position, a major portion of a second surface of the end piece is covered by the holding element, and in the second position, the end piece is outside the holding element. The disclosure also relates to a kit comprising the cable terminal protection arrangement and a fastening element, and to a method of attaching the cable terminal protection arrangement to an object.

  • Publication number: 20160123514
    Abstract: A method for joining or repairing a pipe system that comprises a least two pipes made of weldable plastic material, comprising: fitting a sleeve made of weldable plastic material the distance between the two pipes, the sleeve having a length A that exceeds the distance B between the mutually opposing pipes, such as to overlap each pipe end to a given extent C; placing an electrically conductive band around one of the pipes, the band having two ends; connecting the band ends to each other by placing the band ends overlapping each other; fitting the sleeve over and against the pipe and the band, and applying an electric current to the band over a given period of time, thereby heating the band to a determined temperature for a determined time and fusing the band with the plastic surfaces of the pipe and the sleeve lying in abutment therewith to form a welding joint being fully executed around the pipe and inside the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 9212776
    Abstract: A method for installation and repair of insulated piping includes placing a sleeve coupling, made of a weldable polymer material incorporating a slit that runs lengthwise along the piping, and whose length exceeds the distance between the outer pipes' ends, over the exposed section of the inner pipe so as to overlap the ends of the outer pipes, and welding the sleeve coupling to the outer pipe at the ends of the outer pipes, by placing an electrically conductive band between the outer pipe and the sleeve coupling, ensuring that free ends of the band project upward through the slit. A power converter which has a quasi-resonant converter is employed to produce the electric current that is to be connected to the band.

  • Publication number: 20120255640
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the installation and repair of insulated piping, wherein the insulated piping comprises an outer pipe 1, 1.1 or 1.2 made of a weldable polymer material that encases an inner pipe 2, 2.1 or 2.2 embedded in an insulating layer 4, and wherein the inner pipe 2, 2.1 and 2.2 has been substantially exposed over a section A between the ends 1 a and 1 b of the two outer pipes. The method comprises placing of a sleeve coupling 7, made of a weldable polymer material incorporating a slit 8 that runs lengthwise along the piping, and whose length 5 exceeds the distance A between the outer pipes' ends 1 a and 1 b, over the exposed section A of the inner pipe 2, or 2.1 and 2.2, and with overlapping of the outer pipes' ends 1 a and 1 b; welding the sleeve coupling 7 to the outer pipes 1, or 1.1 and 1.2, the outer pipes' ends 1 a and 1 b, by placing an electrically conductive band 9 that is pervious to molten plastic between the outer pipe 1, or 1.1 and 1.

  • Patent number: 4570108
    Abstract: Protection device for electrical incandescent lamps provided with elements which upon switching on electric voltage limit the current strength during a switching-on interval. The device further includes a control unit with a controllable current valve (10) and timing means (19, 20) for the control of the current through the lamp upon switching-on so that a delayed increase of current is obtained from zero to a chosen operating current over a predetermined time interval.
