  • Patent number: 6752437
    Abstract: A fastening mechanism for a cover, door or the like, hinged on a body, frame or the like, wherein a locking element is fixedly attached to the body, frame or the like. The cover, door or the like supports an actuating element which controls a locking mechanism that can be disengaged from the locking element during opening and engaged with the locking element during closing. To assure an easy operation of such a fastening mechanism, while at the same time assuring locking, the actuating element can be moved from the closed position to the open position by a pulling force acting generally perpendicularly relative to the connecting plane defined by the cover, door or the like.

  • Patent number: 6419287
    Abstract: A fastening mechanism for a cover, door or the like, hinged on a body, frame or the like, wherein a locking element is fixedly attached to the body, frame or the like. The cover, door or the like supports an actuating element. The actuating element controls a locking mechanism, which can be disengaged from the locking element during opening and engaged with the locking element during closing. The operation of the fastening mechanism is simplified and an assured locking in the closed position is achieved because the locking element is embodied as a locking bolt on the body, frame and the like, in particular for furniture. The actuating element is adjustable relative to the cover, door or the like and controls a locking mechanism, on the inside, which includes a locking lever and a rotatably seated locking claw. The locking claw is held in a receiving position for the insertion of the locking bolt in the open position of the fastening mechanism.

  • Patent number: 4978876
    Abstract: For equipping an electromotor to the desired extent with especially electronic elements, like radio shielding devices, a cup-shaped support (10) made of synthetic material concentrically surrounds the commutator (24), being of double-walled construction in order to provide chambers (34, 36, 38, 41) for lodging these elements. Guide channels (49, 51, 53, 55) extend from the chambers, via which electric connection lugs of the elements reach a preferably deep-drawn grid mounted on the outer surface of the support.

  • Patent number: 4963107
    Abstract: Suggested is a grid (22) of electrically conducting sheet material for connecting especially an electromotor, said grid being a deep-drawn part so that a high density and number of conductor paths (29) positioned side by side and one upon the other can be obtained, said conductor paths extending in different planes (24, 26, 28) and, if necessary, along curved paths.
