Abstract: A folding device to move a mirror head relative to a mirror foot of a motor vehicle exterior mirror. The folding device includes a carrier operatively connected to one of the mirror head or the mirror foot, a motor attached to the carrier, the motor having a motor shaft, an output drive operatively connected to one of the mirror head or the mirror foot, a gear mechanism to operatively connect the output drive to the motor shaft, and a pressure device operatively connected to the carrier to engage and press the motor shaft against the motor.

Abstract: A system of exterior mirrors having a mirror head and a mirror foot, the system including a first mirror which is configured to rotate about and also move vertically along a first axis defined by a first drive for the first mirror, and a second mirror which is configured to rotate about a second axis defined by a second drive for the second mirror.

Abstract: Independent equipment for bedding straightening, comprising a smaller inflatable sleeve (2) attached to a bottom sheet (10) covering the top of a mattress (4); a larger inflatable sleeve (9) attached to a unit (12) comprising a top sheet, at least one blanket and a bedspread, this unit being unfolded upon straightening thereof around a direction corresponding to a smaller back side of the mattress matching the foot end of the bed, wherein both inflatable sleeves receive pressured air regulated through a distribution valve (13) fed by a compressed air station (14); such equipment: comprises a flat structural base (1) to be attached to such C-shaped smaller inflatable sleeve (2) through surrounding pieces (3) that couple and adapt the lower corner areas of the mattress (4) of the bed (5); the flat structural base (1) is arranged in the plane that separates the mattress lower face (4) y from the base upper face (6) of the bed; the flat structural base (1) is also attached to the C-shaped smaller inflatable

Abstract: A method of slag-free teeming of metal melt includes arranging outside of the metal vessel and closely adjacent to the discharge edge of the vessel discharge opening, of a jetting lance an inclination of which relative to a bath surface in the vessel and spacing from the discharge edge is changeable and injecting, through the discharge opening of the melt vessel, immediately before start of the teeming process and during the teeming process, a fluid jet having a high kinetic pulse energy substantially parallel to the bath surface for forcing a slag melt, which is located in a discharge region of the vessel and covers the metal melt, back.

Abstract: A process for closing a tap hole in a metallurgical vessel at least partially filled with a metal melt includes bringing a compressible fire-resistant material to the moth of a tubular closing element, providing a medium that substantially prevents contact between the fire resistant material and the metal melt, passing the closing element through the melt toward the bottom of the vessel, compressing the compressible material against the bottom of the vessel to form a seal between the outside of the closing element and the tap hole below the closing element, and moving a cut off device over the outside of the tap hole, thereby allowing the tap hole to be filled with a pourable refractory compound via the tubular closing element. A device for performing the process for closing a tap hole includes a tubular closing device with a groove at an end bottom facing the bottom of the metallurgical vessel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating residual or waste materials that can be recycled energetically, especially light-weight refuse from shredders, which, reduced in size and classified, are stored in bunkers. The residual or waste material is fed by portions from the bunkers to a supply trough in a metal melting furnace, especially an electric arc furnace for melting steel. After a predetermined time, the residual material is placed by portions into a sluice that can be closed in a gas-tight manner. After the sluice is closed, the residual material is subjected to an oxygen-containing gas, the pressure of which is higher than the pressure at the furnace head of the metal melting furnace, until the pressure within the sluice exceed the pressure in the furnace head. The sluice output opening facing toward the furnace vessel bottom is opened after the pressure within the sluice exceeds the pressure in the furnace head and the residual material is conveyed pneumatically into the chamber part.
