  • Publication number: 20240081446
    Abstract: Described herein is a multi-layered latex cover, particularly a glove, comprising a main body and a rim. The main body comprises an outer latex layer, an inner latex layer and an intermediate layer comprising particles. The rim essentially consists of the agglutinated outer and inner latex layer. The particles in the intermediate layer are chemically functionalized with a compound comprising hydrophobic groups. Prior to functionalization, the particles are characterized by a mean diameter of ?100 ?m and a surface comprising exposed OH groups. The invention further relates to a method of producing the multi-layered cover, comprising the steps of providing a former and sequentially immersing it in a first coagulator solution, a first latex dispersion, a particle suspension and a second latex dispersion.

  • Patent number: 11015371
    Abstract: In order to lock the door proceeding from the open position, a locking bar is brought into the locked position under tension of a spring element, in which locked position a closing force acting on the locking bar is determined by the spring element, and, in order to unlock the door, the locking bar is brought out of the locked position into an unlocked position with the aid of an actuating force that is not applied by the spring element, and, after the striker has moved out of the locked position, the locking bar moves into the open position by the force of the spring element.

  • Patent number: 10174540
    Abstract: A refrigerator has a heat-insulated carcass which has an inner container with a cool able interior space for storing food, a refrigeration device for cooling the interior space, an electromechanical opening assisting device, and a door leaf mounted to the carcass for opening and closing the interior space. The opening assisting device contains an actuator configured to open the door leaf automatically by displacement of a control body. The actuator has a displaceable base body, a plunger mounted in the base body as the control body and an overload protection device arresting the plunger in the base body. The overload protection device fixes the plunger rigidly in the base body, for as long as an impact force acting on the plunger remains smaller than a trigger force and to release the plunger from the base body as soon as an impact force acting on the plunger exceeds the trigger force.

  • Patent number: 9695624
    Abstract: A household refrigeration appliance includes a heat-insulated body which has an inner container with a coolable interior for storing foodstuffs, a refrigeration device for cooling the coolable interior, an electromechanical opening assistance device, and a door leaf hinged relative to the body for opening and closing the coolable interior, or a drawer which is pushed into the coolable interior in the closed state, to close the interior, and is withdrawn at least partially from the coolable interior in the open state. The electromechanical opening assistance device has an electromechanical actuator configured when activated to automatically open the closed door leaf or the closed drawer at least partially by repositioning an operating element of the electromechanical opening assistance device. The electromechanical actuator has an electric motor, a drive pinion, a cylindrical gear with dual gearing, and a toothed rack.

  • Patent number: 4833385
    Abstract: A method for the phase synchronization of step-drive-controlled equipment, in particular of optical modulation devices for multiple-beam spectrophotometers.Starting with the phase comparison of a synchronization signal formed from a sensor signal produced by a fixed phase difference from information signals of the device, the phase relationship of the commutator signals of the stepping motor is controlled with a predetermined reference signal.

  • Patent number: 4831319
    Abstract: A method for the phase synchronization of equipment controlled by stepping drives, especially optical modulating systems for multiple-beam spectral photometers. Each time that the equipment is started up, a reference signal is made synchronous with a synchronizing signal which is derived from a sensor signal of the apparatus which is locked in phase with the intelligence signal. For a purely electrical correction the phasing between the intelligence signals and the synchronizing signal is set once. In the event of a phasing error between the synchronizing signal and the reference signal the reference signal is reset.
