Abstract:
A method for dispensing a liquid or pasty cleaning agent and a liquid or pasty bleaching agent into a wash tub of a household dishwasher that includes a housing and a dispensing system disposed in the housing. The dispensing system separately stores and discharges the cleaning agent and bleaching agent. The method includes providing the dispensing system with respective reservoirs for each of the cleaning agent and the bleaching agent that have different capacities from each other. Each of the capacities are larger than needed for a single wash cycle. A first quantity of the cleaning agent and a second quantity of the bleaching agent are dispensed during a wash cycle, and the ratio of the dispensed quantities corresponds to the ratio of the capacities of the respective reservoirs.
Abstract:
An electrical appliance including a housing containing an electric motor and a storage battery pack for energizing the electric motor at an operating voltage of more than 42 volts. The storage battery pack includes a plurality of storage battery cells electrically connected so as to form at least two cell groups having a cell voltage of less than 42 volts. A connector assembly includes a bridge circuit configured to electrically connect the cell groups with each other so as to provide the operating voltage of more than 42 volts while establishing electrical connection between the storage battery pack and the electric motor.
Abstract:
A canister vacuum cleaner includes a housing, a suction hose connectable to the housing, a vacuum attachment, and a suction wand. The suction wand includes at least an upper wand section and a lower wand section that can be separated from one another, an upper end of the upper wand section being couplable with the suction hose, a lower end of a lower wand section being couplable with the vacuum attachment, at least one of the lower wand section and the vacuum attachment being configured to be held to the housing in a parked position by a first connector, a second connector being disposed on the upper wand section and attachable to the lower wand section.
Abstract:
A method for carrying out a drying step in a dishwasher that includes a housing, a washing tub, a door with a hinged lower region operable to close the washing tub, an opening device for automatically opening the door to an ajar position and a condensation drying system including a cooling-air flow generator. The method includes guiding a portion of a cooling-air flow along a portion of an underside of a countertop covering a top of the dishwasher housing both before and after the door is opened to an ajar position.
Abstract:
A suction hose for vacuum cleaner includes a tubular inner part, a jacket part and a locking device. The inner part is variable in length and includes a hose wall having a coil spring integrated therein, the coil spring being configured to automatically return the inner part from an extended position to a shortened position. The jacket part is configured to completely receive the inner part when the inner part is in the shortened position, the jacket part including a tubular shape. The locking device is configured to fix the inner part, in the shortened position, in the jacket part. The locking device includes a tubular member configured to surround the inner part, the tubular member including a first part of a first snap-fit device configured to cooperate with the jacket part so as to connect the tubular member and the jacket part.
Abstract:
A method for treating dust including: separating, in a vacuum cleaner, the dust into at least two fractions which differ in at least one of a size and a mass of particles of the dust; and adding a dust-binding agent to at least a first of the fraction.
Abstract:
A device for supporting cutlery includes at least one movable part for supporting the cutlery. The at least one movable part is designed to lift the cutlery from a rest position by an acting on the at least one movable part.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of polyurethane molded articles in which the polyurethane-forming mixture applied to reinforcing fiber layer(s) or a reinforcing fiber mat includes a gas and a foam stabilizer. These molded articles are useful in automotive and construction applications and in furniture.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an improved process for the preparation of composite bodies by back-foaming plastics sheets with a polyurethane reaction mixture. The improvement is in using certain hydroxycarboxylic acids present in the alkali salt form as the catalyst.
