  • Publication number: 20100320814
    Abstract: With the present holding device for bicycle saddles with a seat tube (2) that can be inserted into a guide tube (1) of the frame of a bicycle, a saddle carrier (6) arranged at the upper end (2?) of the seat tube (2) as well as a clamping element (7) for fixing the position of the seat tube (2) in the guide tube (1), the clamping element (7) bears against the inner wall of the lower opening of the seat tube (2) at the lower end of the seat tube (2) in a longitudinally displaceable manner and is connected to a tension element (10). The tension element (10) is thereby arranged running in the interior of the seat tube (2) and is connected at its upper end to a holding element (20), wherein the holding element (20) is arranged in the seat tube (2) in a longitudinally displaceable manner with respect to the longitudinal axis (A) of the seat tube (2).

  • Patent number: 6779887
    Abstract: The arrangement comprises an endpiece (4), a temple (2), and a hinge for spectacles, said hinge joining the endpiece and the temple in an articulated manner such that the temple is pivotable relative to the endpiece between a position of non-use and a position of use. The temple has a free front surface on its end portion (14) adjacent to the endpiece, and the endpiece has an abutment surface on its end portion (26) adjacent to the temple. The surfaces abut on each other when the temple takes up its position of use, thereby preventing a pivoting movement of the temple beyond the position of use. The hinge is formed by an flexible tape (8) fastened with its one end (34) to the end portion of the temple and, with its other end (36), to the end portion of the endpiece, and extending from the inner side of the temple to the inner side of the endpiece. The temple, the endpiece, and the tape are manufactured in one piece by injection molding of an injection-moldable plastic material.

  • Patent number: 5842819
    Abstract: A machining tool beveling the edges of workpieces such as sheet metal is movable relative to the workpiece in the feed direction along the edge of the workpiece and in an action direction perpendicular to the feed direction. It has at least two adjacent cutting edges extending in the feed direction, one of which is the leading edge and the other of which is the trailing edge which is offset from the leading edge. The trailing cutting edge will effect a further cut in the workpiece as the tool is moved along the edge of the workpiece and reciprocated against its edge portion.
