  • Patent number: 8418995
    Abstract: A sanitary fitting includes a fitting housing; a cartridge disposed in a recess of the fitting housing, the cartridge having a control arm which, for an adjustment of a temperature of water, is rotatable about a rotation axis of the cartridge and, for an adjustment of water flow, is pivotable about a pivot axis running at right angles to the rotation axis, between an off setting and a maximum setting; an actuating lever disposed on the control arm, the actuating lever rotating and pivoting the control arm; and a cap covering the recess and the cartridge, the cap limiting a pivot motion of the actuating lever, and thus of the control arm, between the off setting and the maximum setting in an economy setting.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6826914
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a turbogroup (1) of a power generating plant. A turbine unit (2), has a turbine (4) and a further fluid-flow machine (6) on a common turbine shaft. A generator unit (3), has a generator (8) on a generator shaft (9). The turbine shaft (5) and the generator shaft (9) are connected to one another. A third radial bearing unit (13) supports the generator shaft (9) on a side of the generator (8) which faces the turbine unit (2). A thrust bearing unit (16) supports the turbine shaft (5) axially between the generator (8) and the additional fluid-flow machine (6). The thrust bearing unit (16) and the third radial bearing unit (13) are integrated in a common bearing block (17) which is firmly connected to a fixed foundation (18).

A first radial bearing unit (11) and/or a second radial bearing unit (12) have/has pendulum supports (20) which are in each case supported on a bearing pedestal (21). At least one of the pendulum supports (20) is supported on the associated bearing pedestal (21) via a spring element.
