  • Publication number: 20230392726
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connection device for a peripherally ribbed pipe (4), comprising:—a pipe receptacle (1) having a receiving opening for receiving an end of the pipe (4); and—at least one catch element (3) for fastening the pipe (4) in the pipe receptacle (1). The pipe receptacle (1) has a longitudinal center plane (M), which extends through the receiving opening. The catch element (3) has a first point (S1), which allows movement of at least part of the catch element relative to the pipe receptacle (1), and a second point (S2), which is designed to engage in a corrugation trough (41) of the peripherally ribbed pipe (4). At least when the pipe (4) is inserted and fastened, the first point (S1) lies closer to the longitudinal center plane (M) than the second point (S2) does. The connection device according to the invention allows easy, leak-tight and secure fastening of a pipe.

  • Publication number: 20230175786
    Abstract: The invention relates to an exchanger device comprising a first and a second end piece (1, 2) and an exchanger body (3, 4) arranged in-between. At least one first and one second channel (150, 151) in the exchanger body (3, 4) connect inlets and outlets (10, 11, 20, 21) of the two end pieces (1, 2), wherein the inlets and outlets (10, 11, 20, 21) are arranged in end faces of the end pieces (1, 2), which face away from the exchanger body. The exchanger body forms a multi-helix, in particular a double helix or multiple concentric ring surfaces, wherein the windings of the multi-helix or the concentric ring surfaces form separating walls (3, 4) between the at least one first and the at least one second channel (150, 151). The device according to the invention allows for the formation of exchanger devices with high efficiency yet also with a small outer diameter. The manufacturing process is also simplified.

  • Patent number: 11534902
    Abstract: A handheld power tool with a rotatable tool, in which the handheld power tool is a saw blade or milling cutter. The handheld power tool includes a sensor device for detecting a mechanical vector quantity. The mechanical vector quantity includes a force, an acceleration, a velocity, a deflection, a deformation and/or a mechanical stress and the mechanical vector quantity depends on a force emanating from the handheld tool. The handheld power tool also includes a control device which is communicatively coupled to the sensor device and is adapted to recognize an event and/or a state of the power tool according to a direction and/or change of direction of the mechanical vector quantity detected by the sensor device.

  • Publication number: 20220151142
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus (10), preferably an autonomous robot apparatus, for mowing grass. The apparatus (10) has a plurality of cutting devices (20) for mowing the grass. The apparatus (10) has a plurality of carrying arms (22) which are arranged offset with respect to one another with regard to the transverse axis of the apparatus (10), and are supported such that they can be pivoted up and down in each case individually, and carry in each case one of the plurality of cutting devices (20). The apparatus (10) has a plurality of supporting elements (24) which support in each case one of the plurality of carrying arms (22) on an underlying surface, and are arranged in front of the respective cutting device (20) with regard to a forward moving direction (V) of the apparatus (10). The apparatus (10) can have the advantage that the leading supporting elements (24) do not push any cuttings in front of them, and a risk of the apparatus (10) being jacked up is decreased.
