Publication number: 20240131276Abstract: An insertion mechanism for a cannula includes a cannula housing, a displaceable cannula, at least one cannula holder, an insertion spring, a triggering element, and a safety device. The safety device, in a secured state, holds the triggering element in a blocked position against a force of the insertion spring and, in a released state, releases the triggering element such that the triggering element is movable into a release position by the force of said insertion energy store and the at least one cannula holder is able to move relative to the cannula housing, driven by the insertion energy store, so as to trigger or implement an insertion movement or insertion. To reach the released state, the safety mechanism is heatable by a heating element and softened and/or weakened with respect to its mechanical carrying or holding capacity, or severed or at least partially or completely melted.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Thomas Buri, Christophe Hofer, Patrick Hostettler, Seline Staub, Jürg Steck, Ursina Streit

Patent number: 11119123Abstract: A power meter includes a power meter housing and a terminal block that is movable relative to the power meter housing between a first orientation where two or more terminals of the terminal block face a first direction, and a second orientation where the two or more terminals of the terminal block face a second direction. A controller is operatively coupled to the two or more terminals of the terminal block in the first orientation and in the second orientation and is configured to determine a number of power monitor parameters for one or more phases of power that is delivered to a load based at least in part on signals at the two or more terminals of the terminal block.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: Thomas Staub

Patent number: 8951022Abstract: A powder feed apparatus for a powder spraycoating equipment includes a dense phase powder pump fitted with at least one, or two feed chambers. Each of the feed chambers includes at one chamber end a powder intake valve and at the opposite chamber end a powder outlet valve and further includes at least one air exchange aperture to alternatingly apply compressed conveying air or a partial vacuum to the feed chamber. The apparatus further includes an integral structural block. The structural block includes the feed chambers and first control valves connected in fluid communication to at least one of feed chambers for the purpose of applying compressed conveying air and a partial vacuum to it. The first control valves are directly connected, in fluid communication via ducts constituted in the structural block, to at least one of the feed chambers.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2008Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Gema Switzerland GmbHInventors: Felix Mauchle, Christian Marxer, Thomas Staub

Publication number: 20140044578Abstract: The invention relates to a powder pump (100; 100?) for conveying coating powder, the powder pump (100; 100?) having a powder chamber (10; 10?) with a casing tube (1; 1?) and a gas-permeable filter element (2; 2?) arranged inside the casing tube (1; 1?) a first pinch valve (3; 3?), connected to the intake-side end region of the powder chamber (10; 10?), and a second pinch valve (4; 4?), connected to the delivery-side end region of the powder chamber (10; 10?). In order to achieve the effect that the powder pump (100; 100?) can be maintained with relatively little effort, according to the invention a first connection element (6; 6?) is provided, connected to the first pinch valve (3; 3?) and fitted onto or inserted into the intake-side end region of the powder chamber (10; 10?). A second connection element (7; 7?) is also provided, connected to the second pinch valve (4; 4?) and fitted onto or inserted into the delivery-side end region of the powder chamber (10; 10?).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2012Publication date: February 13, 2014Applicant: GEMA SWITZERLAND GMBHInventors: Marco Sanwald, Thomas Staub
