  • Publication number: 20230302473
    Abstract: A spraying device includes a tool body, a handle, and an energy store. The tool body is carried by way of the handle and one end of the handle, on the opposite side to the tool body, includes a coupling for mechanically and electrically coupling an energy store. A cage is connected to the coupling incorporated in a top of the cage. The cage includes two webs curved in a U shape arranged opposite one another and are each connected to the top of the cage. In a coupled state, the energy store is received in an interior space of the cage in such a way that the two webs each protrude downward beyond a housing of the coupled energy store and into the space. The energy store is assigned a lower opening, a left-hand opening, a right-hand opening, a front opening and a rear opening of the cage.

  • Patent number: 9978291
    Abstract: A proposal is made for a label (1) which can be adhered to an article (5), more particularly to a beverage bottle, and can be detached again in a washing liquid at a washing temperature of at least 50° C., in the form of a laminate at least with the following layers: a biaxially stretched polymeric film layer (9) which shrinks at the washing temperature, a printed decoration layer (11), and an adhesive layer (13), more particularly a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, for adhering the label (1) to the article (5). The polymeric film layer (9) is designed in such a way that in the laminate at the washing temperature within a maximum time span of less than 5 minutes, in particular less than 3 minutes, it attains degrees of contraction in its two stretching directions which differ from one another by less than 50% and are lower than 50%. As a result of this, whereas the adhesive force between the label (1) and the article (5) is high, the label (1) can be washed off from the article (5) without splitting.

  • Patent number: 9742453
    Abstract: A receiving arrangement of a motor vehicle has a first antenna array disposed at or on the body of the motor vehicle, and having a second antenna array disposed on a window pane of the motor vehicle. The antenna arrays are coupled to a receiving unit for further processing, in particular, for the demodulation and/or decoding of a respective received signal of the antenna arrays. The receiving unit is directly connected with the first and the second antenna array. The receiving unit, during operation, causes a conversion of a respective received analog signal of the antenna arrays to a respective loss-free transportable digital signal, which the receiving unit provides to a control unit of the receiving unit for further processing.

  • Publication number: 20040112001
    Abstract: The invention relates to an anchor sleeve (mesh sleeve 10) for injection fixing of an anchor rod, not illustrated, in a hole, not illustrated, drilled in masonry. The invention provides for the anchor sleeve (10) to be provided with inwardly extending supporting ribs (18) for the anchor rod and for the supporting ribs (18) to be arranged anchor sleeve chords instead of radially. The supporting ribs (18) hold an anchor rod coaxially in the anchor sleeve (10) and permit accommodation to different diameters as a consequence of deformation. By the arrangement of the supporting ribs (18) as chords, the supporting ribs (18) can be pressed more easily to one side and permit accommodation to a large range of diameters.

  • Patent number: 6017099
    Abstract: The vibration damper has a sleevelike shaped part comprising an elastomer as a diaphragm. The shaped part is received tightly on the opening end of a bore of a housing and surrounds an extension of a support body disposed in the bore. Provided on a side face of the extension is a groove, which communicates with a chamber in the extension. The shaped part, which on its outside is exposed to the brake fluid, with the inside of its jacket wall defines a hollow chamber, formed toward the extension of the support body and having atmospheric pressure. The vibration damper can be used in a slip-controlled hydraulic brake systems of motor vehicles.

  • Patent number: 5718488
    Abstract: An oscillation damper that has a cup-shaped elastomer diaphragm body, with a bottom diaphragm. The diaphragm body is received tightly on an opening side in a bore of a housing, and fits around a protrusion of a closure body that closes the bore. Between the closure body and the diaphragm, a support body having an end face that is concave toward the diaphragm is received in the diaphragm body. A void formed between the diaphragm and the support body communicates with the atmosphere, through a conduit embodied on the support body and through an opening in the closure body. The oscillation damper can be used in hydraulic slip-controlled motor vehicle brake systems.

  • Patent number: 5699432
    Abstract: In a circuit for mobile radio receivers with a device for setting the stereo reproduction portion relative to the mono reproduction portion as a function of changes in the reception field strength, the setting time for the transition from stereo to mono reproduction and vice-versa depends on the reproduction volume and/or dynamic response of the radio signal.

  • Patent number: 5409089
    Abstract: A known shock absorber including a throttle cross section of a throttle passage which is electrically variable via a magnet, to adjust damping of fluid between separate work chambers. If the magnet has no current in the event of an electrical defect, then the throttle cross section of the throttle passage attains its minimum opening, and maximum damping is attained the shock absorber includes a different further throttle passage which is uncovered in the event of an electrical defect. As a result, in the event of an electrical defect an arbitrarily preselectable, preferably approximately average damping is brought about by the further throttle passage.

  • Patent number: 5293970
    Abstract: A cylinder including a control slide supported in a piston in a cylinder. The control slide is supported in a slide guide, the slide guide is supported in a valve housing with a play. The provision of the play has the advantage that deformation of the valve housing has no influence on a gap between the control slide and the slide guide. The proposed cylinder is intended in particular for use as a shock absorber for vehicles.

  • Patent number: 5234085
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a shock absorber in which the structure of both the main valve and the pilot control valve is simplified, and makes their operation less vulnerable to malfunction because the number of parts moved relative to one another is reduced. This is achieved by functionally uniting the valve plate and pressure plate in an especially embodied novel valve plate, in the form of an annular shim with a fingerlike toothed contour of the inside circumference, which pierces a corresponding contour of an axial region of a stroke limiter, as a result of which a guidance of the valve plate quite close to the force introduction points by means of a spring or the openings to be closed takes place, thereby preventing unilateral opening of a valve plate. The relief piston is sealed off from the pilot control chamber by means of one gap seal and one sealing ring, so that the production tolerances can be greater and as a result an original-shape method without remachining is possible in manufacture.
