  • Patent number: 11963650
    Abstract: A sliding-pivoting mechanism for a rack includes two pivot arms pivotably secured to the carcass, arranged parallel to one another, and forming a parallel guide for a pull-out guide having a guide rail and a running rail to which the rack is fastened. A locking mechanism is arranged on the guide rail and on one of the pivot arms to prevent a simultaneous pivoting and sliding movement. The locking mechanism has a locking pin arranged movably on one of the pivot arms and a locking plate mounted in a positionally fixed manner with respect to the guide rail and which interacts with the locking pin to block a pivoting movement of the pivot arms if the rack is lifted into an upper loading and unloading position. An unlocking device, coupled to the locking mechanism, has an actuating element and an unlocking element to move the locking pin from a blocking position into a release position.

  • Patent number: 11889967
    Abstract: A sliding-pivoting mechanism of a shelf of a piece of furniture or household appliance includes two pivot arms pivotally secured to a body and forming a parallel guide for a pull-out guide having at least one guide rail and a running rail. A locking mechanism is arranged on the guide rail and on one of the pivot arms for preventing a simultaneous pivoting and sliding movement. The locking mechanism has a locking pin moveably arranged on one of the pivot arms, and a locking plate mounted stationarily relative to the guide rail and with which the locking pin cooperates in such a way that a pivoting of the pivot arm is blocked when the shelf is raised into an upper loading and unloading position. An unlocking device is coupled to the locking mechanism and includes an actuation element and an unlocking element, with which the locking pin can be moved out of a blocking position into a release position.

  • Patent number: 6191840
    Abstract: The invention concerns a manufacturing method for electro-optical or electrochemical photovoltaic cells (10), each cell (10) including front (1) and back (2) substrates bonded to each other by a sealing frame in which an active medium is confined, each frame (12) having, for this purpose, a filling aperture (14), the cell (10) further including contact pads (8) for establishing the electric connection between the electrodes (4, 6) of said cell (10) and an electric supply or control circuit, a method wherein the cells (10) are separated individually by means of a water jet and the rectilinear edges (24) scribed on one of the substrates (1, 2) in order to allow the contact pads (8) of the cells (10) to appear are situated in a location not opposite the filling aperture (14) thereof.
