  • Patent number: 8505161
    Abstract: A road sweeper is provided with a rotatingly drivable sweeping brush, a sweepings container, a suction blower in flow communication with the sweeping brush for taking in dust-containing air, and at least one filter for separating dust from the air drawn in, wherein the filter can be acted upon on the clean side with external air stored in a pressure container and subject to pressure, via at least one external air valve for cleaning. In order for the filter to be cleaned off with as small an amount of external air as possible, the pressure container can have a pressure container wall located opposite the clean side of the at least one filter, the at least one external air valve being arranged on the wall, wherein a section of a suction conduit extends between the pressure container wall and the clean side of the filter.

  • Patent number: 4700885
    Abstract: The improvement of a mixing valve for plumbing in which three ceramic valve discs with appropriate control ducts are positioned parallel to one another in reciprocally watertight manner, in a housing with one hot water and one cold water inlet and one outlet, the disc on the inlet side being a stationary bearing disc, while the second disc rests against this first disc and can be turned from outside in order to control the quantity of flow, and the third disc can be slid linearly against the second disc for temperature adjustment by means of a manually adjustable thermostat that operates laterally to the disc axis, said improvement to be achieved in such manner that flow regulation can be simplified, a motor regulator capable of rotating engages with the second disc, the shaft of which said regulator fits into the stationary disc in a rotating manner and is immovably connected with the second disc, and the regulator can be adjusted by means of an electronic and individually adjustable flow regulator.
