  • Patent number: 7740369
    Abstract: A handheld power tool has a tool holder, which is received displaceably in a housing and is drivable via a drive unit that can be switched on and off upon an axial adjusting motion of the tool holder. A lighting unit on the handheld power tool can be switched on and/or off via the adjusting motion of the tool holder.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 23, 2008
    Date of Patent: June 22, 2010
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Thomas Gabriel, Markus Leupert

  • Patent number: 6290081
    Abstract: A collapsible container has a base and a number of panels which are pivotally mounted to the base. When the container is being stored, the panels lie beside the base or upon the base, one on top of the other. When the container is in use, the panels are upright and define an enclosure. A latch is provided for interlocking adjacent panels. The latch has a slider which is slidable vertically when the container is upstanding and which slides between latch-locking and latch-unlocking positions. The latch further has a catch which is movable horizontally when the container is upstanding and which moves from a locking position for locking adjacent panels to an unlocking position. The latch has means for converting vertical movement of the slider to horizontal movement of the catch.

  • Patent number: 4776383
    Abstract: Juxtaposed nozzle openings apply the same or different melts to the surface of a moving cooler surface for producing thin metal strips or foils with a considerable width. The nozzle openings can be staggered in the direction of movement of the cooler surface and apply different materials to produce a metal strip with juxtaposed and sharply defined regions with different characteristics. Amorphous or mixed amorphous/crystalline, or solely crystalline material structures can also be produced. Alternatively, different cooling capacities on different cooler surface areas and different structuring of different cooler surface areas permit the melt to solidify on the cooler surface such that the strips or foils obtained have adjacent regions with different metallic and/or geometrical structures. By geometrical configuration of the cooler surface, foils with a structured surface or with shape-limited individual regions can be used for mass production of small parts from sheet or strip material.
