  • Publication number: 20080011378
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sanitary hose produced from flexible plastic, especially a shower hose, comprising an inner surface 17 and an outer surface 14 and having an antimicrobial finish. For the antimicrobial finish, at least one antimicrobial plastic is embedded in the material at least of the inner surface 17.

  • Patent number: 6846141
    Abstract: The invention relates to an expansible anchor (10) for anchoring in a cylindrical drilled hole (40). The invention proposes constructing the expansible anchor (10) with a tubular basic anchor part (12), on which a hollow conical expansion portion (22) is formed by means of a forming procedure, on which expansion portion (22) an expansion sleeve (14) bent out of sheet metal is mounted. As a result of axial displacement of the expansion sleeve (14) on the expansion portion (22), the expansible anchor (10) becomes anchored in the drilled hole (40). The expansible anchor (10) exhibits subsequent expansion behaviour in the event of widening of the drilled hole (40), for example as a consequence of crack formation.

  • Patent number: 6726110
    Abstract: A thermostatic mixing valve contains a control bush, which can be displaced by an expansion element, which is exposed to the mixing water temperature. As a function of the mixing water temperature and the set desired temperature, the control bush is displaced for simultaneously opening the hot water supply and closing the cold water supply or vice versa. According to the invention there are two control openings for the cold water and two control openings for the hot water.

  • Patent number: 6082624
    Abstract: A safety device for a sanitary equipment contains a reversing element, which reverses the water flow between two water passages located in a fitting housing. A temperature-sensitive element acts on the reversing element in such a way that when the latter reaches a given temperature limit it switches into one of the two positions of the reversing valve, said position being called the safety position. The water outlet associated with this safety position can e.g. be a bath outlet, which represents for the user a lower safety risk through the hot water than a shower.

  • Patent number: 5431516
    Abstract: An expansible plug comprises a closed shank section formed as a shank sleeve provided with a screw channel and a longitudinal divided expansible shank, the shank being formed by two shank halves provided with staggered expansible elements which interlock to form a closed expansion region, the expansible elements being offset relative to one another and having bores arranged eccentrically relative to a center line of the expansible shank and overlapping so that an overlapping region forms a constricted screw channel, the expansion region tapering conically toward a plug tip, and one of the shank halves being connected to the shank sleeve in a joining region by a secure joint.

  • Patent number: 5076374
    Abstract: The drilling device for memory, particularly aerated concrete, includes an impact drilling machine and an impact rotation tool to be clamped in the drilling machine. To prevent the impact-drilling shank jamming in the drill hole as it is withdrawn, and nevertheless to achieve maximum holding power in the masonry, the impact-rotation tool consists of an impact-drilling shank tapered conically toward a tip from a cylindrical middle portion of increased diameter, a carrier bush connected with a circumferential shoulder of the impact-drilling shank and a ram engaging with some play in an internal bore of the carrier bush. A drill bit-like locating means is provided on the ram for engagement in the drilling machine.

  • Patent number: 5003427
    Abstract: A metal enclosed multi-phase high voltage switching arrangement filled with compressed gas and provided with an interior protective wall between the bus bar chamber and the switch chamber. The electrical connection between the two chambers is established via gas tight passages or passthroughs arranged diagonally in the protective wall, with the passages being disposed, in one direction, at the spacing between the bus bars and, in the other perpendicular direction, at the spacing of the poles of the high voltage power or load switch in the switch chamber. Straight connections without crossovers are provided in the bus bar chamber between each bus bar and the associated passage via the respective disconnect or three-way position bus bar switch, while the connecting lines in the switch chamber from the passages to the respective poles of the high voltage switch extend in mutually parallel planes, here again without cross-overs.

  • Patent number: 4722102
    Abstract: A bath fixture for fixing in a bath overflow hole is provided on the outside of the bath with an overflow casing and on the inside of the bath with a casing braceable therewith for receiving a mixer valve, the pipes leading to the mixer valve and a water outlet. The casing can be braced against the bath from the inside thereof. The water outlet is positioned in spaced manner above the bath rim. All control elements are also positioned above the bath rim.
