Abstract: A grab for a surgical instrument has an elongated tube having a rigid outer part and a rigid inner part interconnected by a pivot pin extending along an axis transverse to the parts. A pair of jaws are pivotal on an outer end of the outer part between open and closed positions. An elongated actuating rod has a rigid outer part in the outer tube part and connected to the jaws, a rigid inner part in the inner tube part, and a flexible center part longitudinally interconnecting the rod inner and outer parts and passing through or around the pivot pin. The pivot pin is formed on the pivot axis with a throughgoing slot and the flexible part of the rod extends through the slot.

Abstract: A fan arrangement comprises a fan (10) having a fan housing (30) within which is arranged a blower wheel (18) which, in operation, moves air from an intake side of the fan (10) to a delivery side. Arranged radially outside the fan housing (30) is a surrounding mounting frame (34) that serves to support the fan housing (30). A membrane (32), made of an elastic material, elastically connects the fan housing (30) and mounting frame (34) to one another and is formed with through holes or apertures (33) that, in the event of a closure of the output or delivery side of the fan arrangement (40), enable a return flow, from the delivery side to the intake side of the fan arrangement (40), of air moved by the blower wheel (18).

Abstract: An aircraft floodlight includes a lens placed in front of a housing thereof, a gas discharge lamp that is provided along with a reflector, and an electronic power supply unit. The housing has at least two reflectors that are aligned at different angles to one another and generate overlapping cones of light.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle lamp having a light-transmissive shield (3) which is attached to a grounding plate (4) by a holding device (8) and which defines an opening (6) suitable for water removal includes an electrically conductive pin (1) for protecting the motor-vehicle lamp from destruction due to a lightning strike, the pin having a first end extending into the opening (6) and a second end making electrically-conductive contact with an electrical ground (10, 10') of the motor vehicle.
