Abstract:
The inhalation therapy device according to the invention comprises a nebulizer chamber which accommodates an aerosol generator that emits aerosol into the nebulizer chamber. A valve that has a valve seat, a resilient valve member and a valve member positioning means is arranged at an opening of the nebulizer chamber. The valve member positioning means can be moved out of a first position and into a second position so as to position the valve member on the valve seat in such a manner that in the first position, the valve member, in a flow-free state, is positioned on the valve seat in a pre-tensioned manner and in a second position, is spaced apart from the valve seat.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an inhalation therapy device with a nozzle nebuliser, in particular with a nozzle nebuliser having a nozzle element which is easy to clean and is thereby simple and reliable to handle so that the nozzle is not damaged and the geometry of the nozzle is not affected during cleaning. The aerosol generator comprises a nozzle element, said nozzle consisting of at least a first part and a second part, said first part of the nozzle element being made of a more resilient material than said second part of the nozzle element, and said first part of the nozzle element being attached to said second part of the nozzle element. Owing to the resilient material, the nozzle can deform during cleaning and can return to the original shape without altering its initial geometry.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor-driven device for actuating a movable panel (1) of a motor vehicle, including: a drive unit (3); a transmission element (5) which is to be set into motion by the motor unit (3); a braking module (7) for the transmission element (5), characterized in that the braking module (7) is connected to the transmission element (5) by a clutch module (9) positioned between the transmission element (5) and the drive unit (3), and comprising a wound spring (35) in friction contact with a brake shaft (23) connected to the braking module (7), as well as two coupling elements (25, 27) that are mutually engaged with a functional clearance therebetween, the relative change in position of said two coupling elements (25, 27) enabling the ends (37, 38) of said wound spring (35) to be controlled so as to switch the ends between an engaged position and a disengaged position of the braking module (7), wherein the two coupling elements (25, 27) are a drive element and a driven element, respectively.
Abstract:
An adjusting device for automatically actuating a vehicle door of a motor vehicle includes first and second tubular housings connected between a body of the vehicle and the door. A spindle drive includes a spindle driven by an electric-motor drive, a spindle nut threaded on the spindle, a push rod that bears the spindle nut, and a tubular guide part enclosing the push rod and the spindle nut. The tubular guide part is provided with a shape complementary to a shape of the spindle nut and secures the spindle nut against rotation. The tubular guide part is produced by a plastic forming process on a suitable metal tube. A cylindrical spring assists the spindle drive enclosing the tubular guide part. Spacers are provided over an outer circumference of the tubular guide part to reduce friction between the cylindrical spring and the tubular guide part.

Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to connect a nebulizer to a breathing air tube of a respirator. Said aim is achieved by a nebulizer-connecting device comprising a breathing air-directing unit that is provided with a first mechanism for connecting a duct supplying breathing air, a second mechanism for connecting a duct evacuating breathing air, and a third mechanism for connecting the nebulizer, and a sealing unit which is arranged on the third connecting mechanism and by means of which a flow path for an aerosol generated by the nebulizer can be unblocked when the nebulizer is connected while said flow path for an aerosol generated by the nebulizer can be sealed therewith when the nebulizer is removed. A sealing member is opened when the nebulizer is connected while being closed when the nebulizer is removed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a jack (4) for moving a movable panel of a vehicle, including: a endless screw and nut assembly (14) defining an axis (22); a bearing (20) in which an element (14) selected from the nut and the screw, for example the latter, is rotatably mounted; and a tensioner (60) which is force-tilted onto the element or onto the hearing and which biases the latter by means of mutual axial bearing when the jack is inoperative.
