  • Patent number: 11712817
    Abstract: A mouthpiece (10) for extruding a molding compound into a formed body which has internal channels, comprises: a mouthpiece frame (14) with a frame opening (16); a first core retaining plate (22) which is fastened in the area of an upstream end of the frame opening (16) when viewed in the flow direction (15) of the molding compound; and a plurality of longitudinal cores (28) which are axially and laterally held by an upstream end section (26) on the first core retaining plate (22). It is proposed that, furthermore, it comprises a second core retaining plate (36) which is loosely arranged downstream of the first core retaining plate (22) relative to the mouthpiece frame (14) in the flow direction (15), and in which the areas (32) of the cores (28) farther from the upstream end section (26) are arranged to be radially fixed but axially loose.

  • Patent number: 10178468
    Abstract: An acoustic system is provided that includes a transducer having a housing, which encloses a volume and in which at least a surface or a sub-surface is formed by a sheet-like structure configured to vibrate. Powder made of adsorbent material having an adsorption effective surface may be present in the volume. The powder may be selected such that, through a movement of the powder caused by vibrations of the sheet-like structure configured to vibrate, the adsorption effective surface is enlarged. The adsorbent material may be selected such that an adsorption of air or gas present in the volume is caused by an increase of the pressure caused from vibrations of the sheet-like structure configured to vibrate. The powder is freely movable within the housing.
