  • Patent number: 11607032
    Abstract: The present invention provides a holder and support structure or carrier structure for a mouthpiece of a teeth cleaning device which enables cleaning of a plurality of teeth, preferably all of the user's teeth at the same time, wherein the carrier structure comprises a mouth insert for the user's upper jaw and a mouth insert for the user's lower jaw; and a coupling section including two arms and a connecting section for the drive device, wherein the mouth inserts are each connected to an arm of the coupling section and the connecting section for the drive device is adapted so that it can be connected to a drive device via a fastener thereof, wherein the arms of the coupling section that are connected to the mouth inserts each include at least one spring section. The spring sections assure an even transfer of vibration transfer along the entire length of the mouth inserts. In one embodiment, the horizontal spring sections of the carrier structure allow it to be adjusted more precisely to the user's dentition.

  • Patent number: 6583695
    Abstract: To reduce the rebound of the main armature with contact carrier in response to the switching operation of a contactor, magnetic-chamber base of contactor housing is provided with two support areas for the magnet yoke, said areas having different resiliencies. To this end, the magnetic-chamber base, designed so as to be capable of vibrating, has a supporting strip whose ends act as magnet-supporting areas.

  • Patent number: 6005202
    Abstract: A device in which a triggered switching device (1), for example a contactor, may be maintained in its ON position even if the power supply is interrupted. The invention includes a mechanical locking system having a pawl (11), which is held in a bearing (12). When the switching device (1) is triggered, the pawl (11) engages under the loading of spring force in a recess (5) in a contact carrier (4). It is possible via an unlocking device (7) to actuate an angle lever (16) which pivots the pawl (11) and releases the contact carrier (4). Unlocking can also be performed by hand via an ON-OFF indicator (23) of a second contact carrier (8). The bearing (12) may be shape-coded to ensure that it is installed properly oriented in the openings (13, 14) of the side walls (3, 6) of the switching device (1) and the locking device (7).
