  • Patent number: 12121148
    Abstract: A stand for a vivarium has a side wall with a cutout and at least one first magnet closure element arranged adjacent to the cutout. At least one cover is provided that is to be inserted into the cutout and at least partially covers the cutout in an installed position of the at least one cover in the cutout. The at least one cover has at least one second magnet closure element that in the installed position is arranged so as to correspond with the at least one first magnet closure element so that the at least one cover is secured in the cutout exclusively by magnetic forces interacting between the at least one first magnet closure element and the at least one second magnet closure element in the installed position.

  • Patent number: 12115547
    Abstract: A component of a water feature for generating an illuminated water image is provided with a housing and an illumination unit fixedly arranged in the housing. A water channel passes through the housing and has at least in sections thereof a round cross section. At least one projection is arranged in at least one length section of the water channel, wherein the at least one projection projects toward a longitudinal center axis of the water channel. The at least one projection forms a part of a nozzle receptacle. The water channel in the at least one length section where the at least one projection is provided has at least in sections thereof no round cross section. A water feature provided with the component is provided with a plug-in nozzle insert inserted from below into the component or an insertable nozzle insert inserted from above into the component.

  • Patent number: 11772118
    Abstract: A water feature for generating an illuminated water image has a housing and an illumination unit fixedly arranged in the housing. A water channel passes through the housing. A nozzle insert is disposed in the water channel and is designed to create a water image. The nozzle insert is supported so as to be pivotable relative to the illumination unit. The nozzle insert is supported so as to be pivotable about a pivot point, wherein the pivot point is positioned at a same level with or below a light-emitting top side of the housing. An alignment and fixation tool is provided that has first contact elements designed to engage second contact elements of a securing element that secures the nozzle insert so that the securing element can be released or fixed by rotation of the tool.
