  • Publication number: 20260096020
    Abstract: A circuit board (100), for installation in an electrical device (500), includes a flexible bending section (110), a plurality of conductor tracks (112) arranged in the flexible bending section with a first number of conductor tracks (114) arranged in a first leg (115) and a second number of conductor tracks (114?) arranged in a second leg (115?). The first leg is parallel to the second leg and an open region (116) between the two legs spatially separating the two legs from one another. At least two rigid interface sections (120, 130) are arranged and configured to be electrically connected to one another via the conductor tracks. The two legs fold towards one another about a folding axis (118) along the open region reducing an installation width (EB) of the flexible bending section in the electrical device compared with a width (B) in an unfolded state.

  • Publication number: 20250269135
    Abstract: A breathing gas humidifier includes an exchangeable container (10) for a liquid to be evaporated, in particular for water. The container can be inserted into a receptacle of a housing and removed again from the receptacle. A heating element heats the liquid in the container (10). In a locking position, a locking unit (3, 26) locks the container (10) in the receptacle. With the locking unit (3, 26) in a releasing position, the container (10) can be removed from the receptacle. A connecting unit (35, 37) mechanically connects the locking unit to the housing. During the movement from one position to the other position, the connecting unit (35, 37) guides the locking unit (3, 26) along a trajectory extending in a plane. Preferably, the connecting unit (35, 37) includes two spaced-apart connecting elements (35, 37) and that connect the locking unit to the housing as a four-bar linkage.

  • Patent number: 11316302
    Abstract: An electrical plug-in connection (100) provides a positive connection of a plug-in element (110) to a receiving element (120) within a medical device arrangement (700). The plug-in element forms a male part with an insertion area (112). The receiving element forms a female part with a receptacle (122) corresponding to the insertion area. In a plugged-together state this provides an electrical connection between a plug-side cable (118) connected to the plug-in element and a receptacle-side cable (128) connected to the receiving element via at least two contact areas. The insertion area is 180° rotationally symmetrical relative to an insertion axis (140) of the electrical plug-in connection. The insertion axis is oriented to an insertion direction, whereby a pole reversal of the electrical plug-in connection is allowed without being mirror symmetrical in relation to a reference plane comprising the insertion axis.

  • Patent number: 10071008
    Abstract: A thermotherapy device (incubator) includes a lying surface bordered by side walls with a side wall part suspended via a hinge allowing downward pivoting with a lock for an upright closed position. The locking mechanism has a closing projection that can enter an open side receptacle, with guide curve, to lock the side wall part in the upright closed position on a stationary structure of the heat therapy device. The closing projection or the receptacle is suspended so as to be linearly movable in the direction of connection lines thereof to the pivot axis of the hinge, such that the closing projection can be moved to a position in front of the open side of the receptacle. A preloading apparatus ensures that the closing projection and the receptacle are pressed together in form-closed engagement when the closing projection and the open side of the receptacle are oriented toward each other.
