    摘要: A trap for large animals. The system utilizes multi-containment areas for improved efficiency in herd animal trapping. The outer containment zone of the system is designed in such a way to promote animals further into the inner containment zone. The improved efficiency lowers overall cost of trap operation in terms of time, consumable bait replenishment and number of attempts on target animal groups. The system allows for independent and remote actuation of containment zone gates. Data is transmitted to a remote user and remote actuation of attracting or deterring audio can be done during trapping process. The architecture of the trap dissuades animals capable of jumping from doing so over the containment walls.

    摘要: A push-lifter for a vehicle drains water entered into an inside through a drainage portion. A lower portion of a case includes a peripheral wall, a bottom wall, and an air vent portion opening at a center of the bottom wall. A cap includes a bottom portion located away from the bottom wall, and forming a first air flow channel communicating with the air vent portion between the bottom portion and the bottom wall; a side portion located away from the peripheral wall by continuing to the bottom portion, and having a cylindrical shape forming a second air flow channel communicating with the first air flow channel between the side portion and the peripheral wall; and a drainage portion located on a lower side in an attachment state of the case relative to a vehicle body side, communicating with the second air flow channel, and opening toward the bottom portion.

    摘要: An exemplary door closer includes a housing defining a hydraulic chamber having a hydraulic fluid disposed therein. A pinion is rotatably mounted to the housing and extends into the hydraulic chamber. A piston is mounted for reciprocal movement within the housing, and defines a rack engaged with the pinion. The housing further defines an aperture in fluid communication with the hydraulic chamber. A regulating screw is rotatably mounted within the aperture such that rotation of the regulating screw in a first direction advances the regulating screw into the hydraulic chamber and such that rotation of the regulating screw in an opposite second direction withdraws the regulating screw away from the hydraulic chamber. A stop member is mounted in the aperture such that the stop member limits withdrawing movement of the regulating screw to thereby prevent leaking of the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic chamber via the aperture.

    摘要: The invention concerns a damper assembly for a cup hinge having a carrier part and a cylinder-piston unit which comprises a cylinder that is axially displaceable relative to the carrier part and can be reset by means of spring elements, and a piston rod guided in the cylinder and also a cup hinge with such a damper assembly. The carrier element includes an integrated, elastically deformable accommodation web to which the piston rod can be fixed. Furthermore, the carrier element has, at its side opposite the accommodation web, two elastically deformable fixing elements which are arranged spaced from each other,With the present invention, a damper assembly is being developed which can be installed safely and exchangeably into a cup hinge with a small force application and also a cup hinge with such a damper assembly.

    摘要: The invention relates to a furniture hinge with a fastening portion and a hinge part connected thereto via a multi-axis articulated connection, wherein a spring preloads the hinge part directly or indirectly, at least in a subregion of the adjustment path of the hinge part, with respect to the fastening portion, and wherein the spring is mounted or can be mounted under tension between two spring bearings. In order, in such a furniture hinge, to achieve improved movement control and to make the required manual force for hinge opening or closing more even, provision is made according to the invention for the spring (76) to be adjusted in the region of its two spring bearings (74, 84.4) during the adjustment of the hinge part (20) from the opening into the closing position and/or during the adjustment from the closing into the opening position.
