  • Publication number: 20230407996
    Abstract: A device for routing lines, pipes, and/or cables through a building part, contains a housing having a housing wall. The housing has an axial passage channel that is delimited by the housing wall and extends in the longitudinal direction, and has in each case an opening at opposite ends. At least two sealing arrangements are each provided in the housing interior, are designed for sealing the passage channel, and form a sealing surface. A first sealing surface has a plurality of sealing elements which are elongated, extend in a first main direction, and are adjacent to one another. A second sealing surface has a plurality of sealing elements that are elongated, extend in a second main direction, and are adjacent to one another. The first main direction and the second main direction differ from one another with respect to a transverse plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 10907751
    Abstract: A fire protection element is useful for the separation of openings passing through walls or ceilings, in particular of line passages. The fire protection element has a molded part made from intumescent material with a plurality of through-openings for the passage of lines which extend in particular parallel to each other from a first side to an opposite second side of the fire protection element. In each case, the through-openings for the passage are tightly sealed relative to flue gas by a membrane.

  • Patent number: 10822819
    Abstract: A method includes coupling a platform to a sheet metal having alternating peaks and Valleys. The platform includes a block-out component configured to conform to a valley of the sheet metal. The method further includes coupling a lead-sleeve to a mounting region of the platform. The method further includes pouring concrete around the platform and lead-sleeve, where the block-out component blocks a flow of the concrete from below the platform. The method also includes inserting a cutting tool through the lead-sleeve to remove one or more portions of the sheet metal to form a through-penetration.

  • Patent number: 10816110
    Abstract: A method can produce an assembly for a line penetration. The method includes: (a) cutting a fire-protection mat forming a fire-protection module to length appropriate for the size of the line penetration, where the fire-protection mat has a flexible carrier element, on at least one end region of which a fire-protection tape of an intumescent material is fastened, (b) bending the fire-protection mat into a circular shape and joining opposite rims of the fire-protection mat to one another via a joining means, so that the fire-protection tape is disposed in a region of an axial end of the circularly shaped fire-protection mat, and (c) fastening at least one mechanical positioning element constructed separately from the fire-protection mat on the fire-protection mat and which is arranged in such a way that the assembly can be fastened, via the mechanical positioning element, on a wall or on formwork.

  • Patent number: 7573576
    Abstract: An optical sensor device includes a photoconductor structure having first and second partial members (16, 18) and a coupling surface (20) for coupling the optical sensor device to an opposing counter surface of a pane (22), particularly a windscreen of a motor vehicle. The optical sensor device further includes an optical transmitter (10) coupling a beam of rays into the first partial member (16), an optical receiver (12) receiveing a beam of rays emerging from the second partial member (18), and a printed circuit board (14) arranged parallel to the coupling surface (20). The transmitter (10) and the receiver (12) are arranged on the printed circuit board (14). The photoconductor structure is designed so that the central ray (28) of the transmitter (10) enters into the first partial member (16) perpendicularly to the coupling surface (20) and emerges from the second partial member (18) perpendicularly to the coupling surface (20).
