  • Patent number: 7287560
    Abstract: A door fixture to be fastened to a frame of an isolator includes a door and a double bayonet closure with two bayonet locks for reciprocally transferring the isolator from a first state, in which the door, which opens from inside the isolator, is open and detached from the isolator frame and a container flange surrounding a container is sealingly locked to the isolator frame, and a second state, in which the door is shut and sealingly locked to the isolator frame and the container flange is detached from the isolator frame, there being provided a first safety device, which allows the door to be opened only when a container flange of a container is sealingly locked to the isolator frame, and a second safety device, which allows for the removal of the container flange from the isolator frame only when the door is sealingly locked to the isolator frame.

  • Patent number: 5946830
    Abstract: Concrete crushing tongs comprise a frame-shaped first jaw of tongs (1) and a second jaw of tongs (2) which is connected to the first jaw of tongs (1) at a pivot joint (3). The two jaws of tongs (1, 2) each comprise concrete crushing portions (13, 18) with projections (14, 19). The concrete crushing portions (13, 18) of both jaws of tongs (1, 2) each project beyond cutting edges (11, 17) of the two jaws of tongs (1, 2) in a direction towards the corresponding other jaw of tongs (2, 1). Thus, the concrete crushing function of the concrete crushing tongs is separated from the function of cutting the reinforcement.

  • Patent number: 5088513
    Abstract: A support leg for a canelike walking aid includes an adapter part to which a support tube of the walking aid may be fitted, a sole body which can bear on the ground, and a joint device connecting the adapter part and the sole body for permitting elastic swivelling in a direction of support between the adapter part and the sole body. The joint device is formed of a composite body including an elastic body within which are embedded stiffener components respectively connected to the adapter part and the sole body.
