  • Patent number: 7234255
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flame imitation device for a wall-mounted heater. The flame imitation device comprises a light source, a combustion bed including imitated firewood and embers, and a vertical translucent screen located closely adjacent to the back edge of the combustion bed. The light source is located under the combustion bed. A glittering member is rotatably provided behind the translucent screen. The main body of the glittering member comprises a polyhedron with a polygonal cross section. A reflector is provided on the polyhedron. The glittering member is connected to a rotational driver. Light irradiated from the light source partially transmits upward onto the combustion bed for imitating firewood and embers. Light irradiated from the light source partially transmitted rearward to the glittering member positioned at the back portion of the heater, and reflects the light to the translucent screen.

  • Patent number: 4959962
    Abstract: In order to avoid the necessity of a conventional electric starter motor a hydrostatic starting system for the engine of a motor vehicle is proposed for the engine whose output shaft is connected with a hydromechanical power transmission, composed of a mechanical part and at least two hydrostatic machines. The starter system comprises its own hydraulic accumulator which as regards its filling capacity and power output is designed for starting the engine at least once and a controller which responds to certain halt and operational states of the vehicle. The charging of the hydraulic accumulator takes place during braking of the vehicle via the hydrostatic machines of the power transmission or, if there is insufficient brake power, of an auxiliary device.
