Abstract: A method for sheathing a light guide with a flexible layer of sheathing. The method includes providing a light guide and a sheathing strip. The sheathing strip is made of a flexible material. The method also includes joining the light guide and the sheathing strip using a forming aid to form a light guide-sheathing composite. The forming aid places the sheathing strip about the light guide, leaving two excess ends of the sheathing strip extending from the light guide. The method further includes feeding the light guide-sheathing composite to a connection unit and connecting the two excess ends to produce a mounting tab for the light guide-sheathing composite.

Abstract: An apparatus (1) for transferring a wall (2) of a transport container (3), particularly of an automotive body or a container, between a closed position and an open position, comprising at least one link (4) which is pivotably mounted about a rotational axis (4?, 4?) on the transport container (3) and on the wall (2) of the transport container (3), and a first drive (5) connected to the link (4) for pivoting the wall (2) from the closed position into the open position and vice versa, wherein a further drive (6) is provided, which is designed to displace the wall (2), at least in a region adjoining a corner region (3?) of the transport container, from the closed position substantially perpendicularly to the extension plane of the wall (2) away from the transport container (3), and vice versa.

Abstract: A roller blind for opening and closing a compartment, a storage box, a control console or other enclosures, in particular for use in a motor vehicle, is disclosed. The roller blind includes at least one support element and a padding layer. The roller blind may also include at least one intermediate layer and a decorative layer applied to the roller blind, where an intermediate layer includes padding.

Abstract: A roller blind for opening and closing the opening of a compartment, a storage box, a control console or similar enclosure, in particular for use in motor vehicles, is disclosed. At least one support element and at least one elastic layer disposed on the support element are included. Each support element has a curvature in its longitudinal direction with a deflection in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the opening to be closed by the roller blind. A method for the production of a roller blind is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and combination for performing laser therapy, involving the steps of providing a sheet of clear film of appropriate size and thickness, and placing the sheet of clear film over an area of a skin to be treated prior to laser therapy. The method may further include steps of replacing the sheet with a new sheet of clear film, periodically during the therapy.
