Abstract: Pipette for operating a syringe with a bar-shaped housing, a fixture with an opening at the lower end of the housing for putting in a syringe with a fastening portion on the upper edge of a cylinder, a fixture body with a further fixture and a further opening on the lower end of the housing, for putting in a further fastening portion of a piston of the syringe, means for detachably holding the fastening portion in the fixture and the further fastening portion in the further fixture, means for displacing the fixture body within the housing in the longitudinal direction of the housing, which have a draw-up lever activated from the outside of the housing, which is connected to the fixture body via a connection element which grips through a straight slit extending in the longitudinal direction of the housing, wherein below the slit in the housing, a cover stripe covering the slit is held in the housing at two positions spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the slit, and wherein the connect

Abstract: In the case of a multifunctional switch (11) with a panel (14), of injection-moulded ceramic for example, coaxially surrounded by a frame (18), the panel (14) and the frame (18) are produced as separate components, which however are connected to one another in a material-bonding and/or form-fitting manner to form one part by means of an annular light guide (20) that particularly radiates axially parallel and is created by material being injected, introduced by flooding or poured into a gap (17) located between them or is adhesively cemented therein.

Abstract: Using integrated multi-component assembly injection molding, a two-part magnetic rotational angle sensor system having high sensing accuracy is very efficiently integrally produced in a tool as a functional unit that can be directly applied, comprising a polymer-bonded permanent magnet as a passive transmitter part in the first section, which can be rotated relative to the material of the active sensor receiver part, which material is sprayed thereon and then shrunk, with the potted receiver. For this purpose, injection molding materials are used that are mutually incompatible for adhesion and lift off from one another over the mutual contact regions due to shrinkage.

Abstract: A handle with haptically high-quality surfaces has decorative and functional symbols above, in or beneath a disc, with a corona-like emission being brought about by the end region of a light-conducting hollow cylinder along the peripheral region of said disc, continuously or intermittently circumferentially, which hollow cylinder is fed from a lighting distribution board parallel to the disc. At the same time, the hollow cylinder radiates centripetally into the peripheral region in so far as it comprises light-conducting material. Apertures representing symbols in the disc can contain fibre optic conductors, which are likewise connected to the lighting distribution board.

Abstract: An adjustment device for a carrier plate which can be pivoted about two mutually orthogonal axes and is configured to receive a motor vehicle mirror, includes one motor per axis for moving a non-rotatably and non-tiltably guided linear drive, which is in engagement via a socket with a joint ball on the carrier plate, and a funnel-shaped hub provided with a hollow shaft. A hollow spherical segment of the funnel-shaped hub engages, by spring tabs, in a depression in the form of a hollow spherical segment in the carrier plate, and a spherical segment of the carrier plate is axially elastically clamped in a hollow spherical segment of a housing for drive trains of the two linear drives, thereby locking the hollow shaft on the housing.

Abstract: In order to ensure that upon destruction of a brittle article, in particular such as a ceramics element in the form of a frame receiving an apparatus, if possible no free fragments at all become detached therefrom, according to the invention the frame itself or a plate that is integrally moulded therewith and extends over the frame opening remote from view behind the apparatus is non-positively or positively connected at discrete points or in continuous segments in different regions to a connecting part injection-moulded from tough-elastic material. In turn, the connecting part can simultaneously be configured for detachably fastening the ceramics element to the apparatus or to an alternative construction part.

Abstract: A casing shell for electrical measuring, control or communication devices, in particular the casing module of a cell phone, has a high bending and torsional stiffness despite extremely low wall strength with a completely flat outside surface, since the flat blank of a fiber-reinforced matting in an injection mold is back-injected along the matting edge area in striplike form with a preferably also fiber-reinforced frame, including molded functional elements and preferably comprising the cut edges of the matting in an L-shape.

Abstract: A paint sludge is subjected to aerobic biodegradation with increased dry content of the resulting sludge and the latter is then subjected to anaerobic biological degradation. The effluent from the two biostages are sterilized by ozonization, UV-irradiation or peroxide addition. The sludge from the anaerobic biostage can be dried to an inert granulate and drying vapors are recycled to the aerobic biostage. The sterile liquid is returned to the wash water circulation of the painting plant.
