  • Patent number: 7796329
    Abstract: A sighting device couples a sight mark into a viewing beam path and is especially for a handheld weapon (2), a bow or a pump gun. The sighting device includes an optical component (6) having a first optical coupling element (8) for coupling the sight mark from a sight mark source into the component (6) and having a second optical coupling element in the region of the viewing beam path for coupling the sight mark (14) out of the component (6) and into the viewing beam path. The second optical coupling element is configured as a diffractive structure (9). The optical component (6) is configured to be totally reflective for guiding the sight mark beam in the interior of the optical component and is at least partially transmissive for the viewing beam paths in the region of the viewing beam path. In this way, a compact and lightweight illuminated sight is provided.

  • Patent number: 6688626
    Abstract: A bicycle includes a frame and a first and a second adjusting device for adjusting a height of front wheel and rear wheel suspensions. The adjusting devices each include at least one double-acting piston/cylinder assembly with a first cylinder chamber and a second cylinder chamber. The two first and the two second cylinder chambers each are connected with one another via an allocated pressurizing medium line. The first and the second cylinder chambers of the first and the second double-acting piston/cylinder assemblies are filled with a gas. The first and second cylinder chambers are separated from one another by a piston having a piston rod. The piston of the first adjusting device includes a connecting channel that connects the piston rod interior with the second cylinder chamber of the first adjusting device. The two cylinder chambers of the first adjusting device are connectable with one another via the pressurizing medium line, the piston rod interior and the connecting channel.

  • Publication number: 20030071795
    Abstract: The command input system has a display screen and a touch-sensitive input field. On the input field, there is a spatial relationship with options shown on the display field of the display screen. The input field conveys tactile feedback about the available and/or executed actions. The command input system is especially well-suited for use in vehicles since it does not require constant eye contact with the display field.

  • Patent number: 5826891
    Abstract: A snowboard binding with step-in function holds a boot by means of front and heel brackets. The heel bracket is preferably coupled to a driving element that moves the heel bracket in the direction toward the other bracket and simultaneously downward, namely in the direction toward the snowboard surface, during the movement from the open position to the closed position. A spring piston locks the driving element directly or indirectly in the closed position. This locking effect is realized in such a way that the closing force of the binding does not depend on the force of the spring of the spring piston.
