  • Patent number: 10160579
    Abstract: A sealing disc for a closure cap for containers, especially bottle closures for liquids fermented with yeast, consists of a plurality of layers (1, 2, 3, 4). One of these layers (4) comprises an active especially metallic substance in layered or particulate form which binds sulphur compounds in order to reduce the formation of sulphide odours after the bottle has been filled.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 1, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 25, 2018
    Assignee: Alfelder Kunststoffwerke Herm. Meyer GmbH
    Inventors: Rainer Kroger, Heinz-Werner Rohrka, Peter Rothweiler
  • Patent number: 9586481
    Abstract: A device, vehicle, method and computer program for deactivating high-voltage components of a vehicle. The device for deactivating high-voltage components of a vehicle carries out an error analysis of the high-voltage components after detecting a vibration and deactivates the high-voltage components if an error in the high-voltage components results in the error analysis.

  • Patent number: 9156584
    Abstract: A sealing disc for closing mouths of containers has a foil for inductively introducing heat into the sealing disc. The sealing disc has an edge region. A sealing layer is provided on the side of the foil that is to face the interior of the container, for sealing tight the edge region of the sealing disc on the mouth of the container. One or more layers are located on the side of the foil that is remote from the sealing layer. Further, a hand grip is formed as part of the sealing disc and serves to open the mouth of the container that is closed by the sealing disc. On the side that is remote from the sealing layer, the layer or layers are provided with weakening lines for forming an outline of the hand grip. The weakening lines lead into the edge region of the sealing disc.

  • Patent number: 5289819
    Abstract: A testing device for gas masks and breathing equipment has a head part, to which the gas mask and breathing equipment can be connected and which is connected to a testing unit simulating the respiratory activity. The testing device provides more accurate testing especially with respect to the pressure and flow conditions. Using a valve (11, 13), which interrupts the flow connection and is provided at the testing connection in close proximity, in terms of flow, of the respiration connection.
