  • Patent number: 12465677
    Abstract: A medical fluid pump has a housing, a front lid pivotably hinged to the housing, and a carrying handle. The carrying handle, which may have a bow-shaped design, is pivotably hinged to two opposing side faces of the housing. The carrying handle is hinged to the housing such that a handle portion of the carrying handle lies, in a swiveled-out state, in a direction of gravity substantially over a center of gravity of the fluid pump.

  • Patent number: 12083312
    Abstract: A supporting or holding device for the position-safe holding of one or more medical fluid pumps during operation. The supporting or holding device has a basic body and a plurality of vertically spaced trays that project from a front side of the basic body. Each vertically spaced tray is adapted to receive a medical fluid pump. The supporting or holding device includes, at an uppermost end, an intelligent cover for the centralized representation of alarm(s) of the one or more medical fluid pumps.

  • Patent number: 8758084
    Abstract: An apparatus for grinding hand knives, in particular for meat processing, with at least one grinding tool is proposed, by means of which a knife ground finish, in particular during the reconditioning of hand knives after use, is made possible in a repeatable manner with reproducible grinding quality. This is achieved according to the invention in that a knife magazine (6, 7) for accommodating at least one hand knife is provided, in that a driven manipulating device (3, 4, 5) having at least one knife gripper (5) is provided, in that at least one sensor unit (22) for at least partly recording the knife contour is provided, and in that an electronic evaluating and control unit for evaluating the sensor data and for activating the manipulating device (3, 4, 5) is provided.

  • Patent number: 6638142
    Abstract: A device is proposed for sharpening knives in meat-processing machines, which enables a more precise movement of the sharpening tool (4) against the knife to be sharpened (2), in particular automatic control of this process. This is achieved according to the invention by providing a sensor for determining contact between the sharpening tool (4) and the knife (2).

  • Patent number: 6326588
    Abstract: In the method for producing components (2) with a beveled cut edge (Y bevel), a vertical laser beam (5) is used to make at least one vertical cut through the material (1), parts (3) of the material (1) which lie outside the component (2) are removed, and then an inclined laser beam (6) is used to make an inclined cut along the vertical cut edge produced.
