Abstract: A blow mould apparatus (1) for moulding plastic preforms into plastic containers with a first mould carrier element (3) and a second mould carrier element (4) which is swivelable about a connecting axis (X) in relation to the first mould carrier element (3), wherein the mould carrier elements (3, 4) cooperate such that in a closed state of the blow mould apparatus (1) they form in their interior a cavity (5) in which the plastic preforms can be expanded into plastic containers, and with a locking device (10) which locks the first mould carrier element (3) in relation to the second mould carrier element (4) in order to hold the blow mould apparatus (1) at least temporarily in a closed state, wherein the locking device (10) has at least one locking element (16) which is arranged on a mould carrier element (3, 4), is mobile and cooperates with the other mould carrier element (4, 3) to lock the mould carrier elements (3, 4) and wherein the locking device (10) comprises a mobile actuation element (14), the movemen

Abstract: A gripper unit for transport systems for supporting and transporting articles. A gripper unit that includes a gripper head with at least two gripper arms which can be opened and closed against each other. The top of the article to be gripped and to be transported is supported in the opening formed between the gripper arms. Besides, the gripper unit includes a shifting unit. The shifting unit is supported in a flexible manner via a fastener directly supported at the transport system. Furthermore, the gripper unit is provided with a device for interchangeable support, adjustment and spatial determination of the gripper head in a first transport direction at the gripper unit. The device provides for the vertical movement of the gripper head contrary to the gripper unit and/or contrary to the transport system, which are arranged between the gripper head and the shifting unit or between the gripper head and the transport system.

Abstract: There is proposed a finger protector for a sports glove, including a plate that is connected in one piece with strips to be associated to several fingers of one hand, each strip consisting of a chain of members which are connected in one piece with each other and can be moved relative to each other in two opposite directions by means of through holes extending transverse to the chain direction, and a member band with nipples which are pushed into the through holes. The invention further relates to a sports glove incorporating such finger protector.

Abstract: A sleeve provides communications between an electronic transaction card and an intelligent electronic device. The intelligent electronic device may be a mobile phone or other device with or without network connectivity. The electronic transaction card may have magnetic field producing circuitry compatible with magnetic card readers, smartcard circuitry, other point-of-sale interfaces, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: An electronic stripe card senses when it is being swiped passed a read head, and drives a conductive path to mimic a magnetic card track. Multiple conductive paths may be driven in an interleaved fashion one after another. The card may include multiple swipe sensors to detect when to start and stop driving the conductive paths. The conductive paths may include traces on a top metal layer and bottom metal layer without magnetic material therebetween.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a sports glove, in particular a goalie glove comprising an inward glove part made of an impact-damping material preferably based on foamed latex, and further comprising a glove upward part covering the back of the human hand and side parts connecting the glove upward and inward parts and glove intra-finger pieces, the inward glove part evincing a larger area relative to the anatomic requirements of the inside surface of the human hand. A pocket filled with a padding material and corresponding in geometry and manufacture to a human finger is mounted at the outside adjacent to the human small finger between the human small finger and a side part, and/or at the outside of the human index finger facing the thumb and/or at the thumb outside away from the human index finger.

Abstract: A sports glove, in particular a goalie glove, of which the outside of the palm material preferably is composed of a foamed latex on a textile support material. Additional impact-damping padding is mounted on the inside of the palm material facing the surface of the hand. A so-called spacer fabric designed as a three-dimensional fabric is used as the additional padding and is formed from two flat layers of cover fabrics spaced apart by a sandwiched zone of parallel erect fabric yarns extending perpendicular to the layers of the cover fabrics. In the alternative, an open-pore soft foam or a latex foam of larger thickness and lesser density than the palm material may be used as the additional padding.
