Abstract: Clip for an aneurism suitable for being implanted into tissue in which an aneurism has formed and carrying out a tight closure of the aneurism. The clip includes a pair of claw members (2a, 2 b) non-metallic material, the claw members provided with an articulated joining mechanism (3), which allows rotation of the pair of claw members around a pivot (4) which interlocks them. The clip can adopt at least one opening position (A) and one closure position (B). The clip has at least one spring element (6) at least partially housed in the clip which bends to arrange the clip in closure position which includes at least one flexible (7) and elastic element with a section with arced configuration (8), press-fitted with two opposing ends (9a, 9b) each one exerting pressure on a different claw member both in the opening and in the closure position.

Abstract: A pump housing made of plastic sections is provided. The housing includes a first casing that has a first side facing the region in which a pumped medium will flow, and a second casing that has a second side facing the environment. The pump housing's first casing and second casing are both dimensionally stable, with a space between the first casing and the second casing. A filler material such as a self-expanding foam may be provided in the space. The pump casings may be standardized components, and multiple casings may be assembled to form pump housings to suit a particular application.

Abstract: A four-point link for the suspension of a rigid axle which has four bearing seats. Two bearing seats can be articulated on the axle and two can be articulated on the vehicle frame. The link has a single-piece link body which is inscribed by the trapezoid formed by the bearing seats. The link body is formed of a fiber-composite arrangement that comprises at least one longitudinal fiber arrangement. The longitudinal fiber arrangement encases the bearing seat, at least along half circumference thereof and extends along at least a portion of the link body in order to optimize loading, reduce mass and increase its application. Torsional compliance makes it possible to use relatively small and/or hard rubber bearings for articulating the four-point link or the vehicle axle.

Abstract: A device (100) for securing a support structure such as solar module-carrier (12) to a flat roof (16) which is provided with a non-bearing insulation layer (24) covered by a sealing strip (22). The device (100) has an upper connection element (150) for the support structure and a spacer member (120) which can be guided through an opening (26) in the insulation layer (24) in order to support the connection element (150) on a roof substructure (17). The spacer member (120) is anchored by a plurality of anchoring parts (28) on the roof substructure (17). The connection element (150) comprises an upper and a lower connection flange (152, 154) between which the sealing strip (22) is clamped. The spacer member (120) is designed as a profile or hollow-profile part which can be cut to length as required and is produced as an extrusion part from a thermal insulation material.

Abstract: A nail retaining strip for feeding nails into a fastening element driving tool where the nails are driven individually out of the tool by a drive piston includes guide bushings for the nails. Adjacent guide bushings are separably interconnected by connecting webs. The guide bushing extends in the axial direction of the nail shank and has axially and circumferentially extending circular guide surfaces for supporting the nails within the muzzle bore of the driving tool. The connecting webs extend radially outwardly from the guide surfaces so that the guide surfaces on adjacent guide bushings are in spaced relation. The connecting webs retain the nails in the axial direction of the muzzle bore by engagement in a receiving recess in the bore located opposite a passage through which the nails are inserted into the bore. Such axial retention permits complete utilization of the nail strip down to and including the last nail.
