20080290677CARRIER FOR SACKS - A device has a cylindrical handle with two opposed ends and lifts loaded sacks and other equipment with narrow handles. Upon both ends, the device has a hook attached, either single or double hooks. Each hook has a shank that connects with the end of the handle upon one end and extends in a curve upon the opposite end. The curve of the hook then terminates in a non-penetrating end, such as a spherical cap. Each hook can hold multiple sacks to the weight tolerable to a person holding the device.11-27-2008
20090085365CARRIER FOR SACKS WITH STRAP - A device has a cylindrical handle with two opposed ends and lifts loaded sacks and other equipment with narrow handholds. Upon both ends, the device has a slot about its circumference. Each slot receives an end of a strap fitted over the handle and into the slot. The strap then suspends below the handle, passes through the handholds of sacks, secures back to the handle, and allows many sacks to be carried. Alternatively, two straps are provided, one upon each end for carrying sacks separately.04-02-2009

20100154415Exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine - In an exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal combustion engine, comprising a turbine rotor, which is rotatably housed in a rotor chamber through which exhaust gas coming from the internal combustion engine is conducted and wherein the flow around the turbine rotor is conditioned by means of a guide apparatus comprising a support ring with rotatably mounted guide vanes. For fixing a first distance (A) between the support ring and the contour sleeve, at least one spacer element with a longitudinal axis, an outer surface and a cross-sectional area is provided so as to have a streamlined shape forming in the exhaust gas flow only a relatively narrow wake line and the spacer element is so arranged that the wake line formed thereby extends essentially through a flow space between two adjacent guide vanes without disturbing the exhaust gas flow around these guide vanes.06-24-2010

20110036691LIQUID SWITCHES AND SWITCHING DEVICES AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS THEREOF - A dispensing apparatus includes a housing defining a channel, a plunger slidably engaged with an inner surface of the channel, a substrate with one or more passages each having two or more openings, a liquid in each of the one or more passages, at least one fluid, and a force application system. The substrate is disposed in the channel on one side of the plunger. The liquid in each of the one or more passages has a volume which exceeds an internal volume of each the one or more passages and forms a liquid drop around each of the openings. The liquid drops are fluidly connected to one another and each of the liquid drops is individually adjustable between two or more sizes. Each of the sizes and a location of each of the liquid drops define one of two or more switch positions. The fluid is located in the channel on the one side of the plunger and substantially surrounding the liquid drops. The force application system is configured to individually and selectively apply a force on the liquid in each of the one or more passages to control switching between the two or more switch positions of each of the liquid drops. Engaging one or more of the switch positions moves the plunger along the inner surface of the channel away from the substrate.02-17-2011

20090199480COVER FOR GUIDE PARTS OF A MOTOR VEHICLE SLIDING DOOR - A sliding door of a motor vehicle is provided as well as a cover device for such a sliding door, that includes, but not limited to at least one guide rail assigned to the inner side of a sliding door leaf that engages with a sliding element. The sliding element is connected to the supporting structure of the vehicle by means of a pivotably mounted pivoted lever. The cover device is configured to substantially separate the guide rail with respect to the vehicle interior, at least in the closed position of the door leaf.08-13-2009
20090322135FOLD-DOWN VEHICLE SEAT - A fold-down vehicle seat is provided having a seat part and a foldable backrest. The seat part is mounted so it is pivotable on the vehicle floor via a front rocker and the backrest is mounted so it is pivotable on a seat framework section using a lower end section. In such a vehicle seat, the seat part and the backrest are transferable into a first and a second folded position to enlarge a cargo area of the vehicle adjoining the vehicle seat, the seat part being coupled using a rear rocker to the backrest, and the seat framework section supporting the backrest situated so it is displaceable on the vehicle floor in the vehicle longitudinal direction.12-31-2009
20100194134DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING A MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT AND MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT - A motor vehicle is provided with a motor vehicle seat, a motor vehicle seat with a device and a device for adjusting a motor vehicle seat, more preferably of a motor vehicle back seat, with a seat cushion and with a backrest cushion, including, but not limited to a seat cushion holder on which the seat cushion of the motor vehicle seat is arranged. The device includes, but is not limited to a coupling device with means for transmitting a movement of the backrest cushion on to the seat cushion holder, so that folding of the backrest cushion in the direction of the seat cushion at least brings about one translation movement of the seat cushion holder away from the backrest cushion.08-05-2010
