  • Publication number: 20220205163
    Abstract: A device for installation on an inner circumferential surface-of a washing machine drum, comprising a housing, a voltage source and at least one electrode which is connected to the positive terminal of the voltage source and acts as an anode, it being possible for a washing liquor to flow through the device and said device comprising at least one inlet for introducing washing liquor into the device and at least one outlet for discharging washing liquor from the device. The inlet and the outlet are arranged on the device such that, when the device is in use position, said inlet and outlet are directly above the inner circumferential surface of the washing machine drum and the inlet is in a plane of which the surface normal extends. Use of this device and a related method are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10435649
    Abstract: The cleaning performance of washing and cleaning agents, in particular with respect to bleachable stains, was to be intensified without resulting in damage, in the context of use, to the textile treated therewith. This was achieved substantially by employing a bleaching-active species generated electrolytically from an organic mediator compound using a redox reaction.

  • Patent number: 10160934
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the cleaning power of washing and cleaning agents, especially with regard to bleachable stains, while avoiding any damage to the textile treated with said washing and cleaning agents. This is substantially achieved by using an electrolytically bleachable species generated by a redox reaction from an anionically substituted 1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxide, or (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yl)oxyl.

  • Publication number: 20170114305
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the cleaning power of washing and cleaning agents, especially with regards to bleachable stains, while avoiding any damage to the textile treated with said washing and cleaning agents. This is achieved by an aqueous washing liquid in a device for cleaning textile substrates, containing a plurality of water in-soluble solid particles and a mediator compound, which can produce an oxidizing bleaching agent, in an electrochemical cell using electric voltage in the washing liquid.

  • Patent number: 9393766
    Abstract: Process for joining a foil or a membrane. The invention relates to a method for joining at least one foil-like or membrane-like part to a structural part (9), wherein the foil-like or membrane-like part is separated by means of a tool (2) from a semi-finished product (3) and is held on the tool (2) by applying a reduced pressure, and wherein the foil-like or membrane-like part is placed on the structural part (9), and is in turn held on this (9) and joined to this (9) by applying a reduced pressure. By means of the method a precise, reliable and readily automatable joining of a foil-like or membrane-like part to a structural part (9) is possible. A device (1) is also proposed, with which the method according to the invention can readily be carried out.

  • Patent number: 8709353
    Abstract: A device, particularly a microfluidic system, is proposed, in which two cavities are arranged spatially close to one another and are sealed off from one another by a common cover. A fluidic connection can be produced between the cavities by movement of a pin-shaped body towards the cover. In this way it is possible to release a reagent in controlled manner without having to put it under pressure.
