Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is a device and method for inspecting hollow spaces. This invention relates to a device designed for inspecting hollow spaces such as pipes, conduits, structures, or containers. The device consists of a probe with a built-in camera, whose objective is oriented towards the front end of the base body of the probe. It includes a hose-type supply line connected to the back end of the base body for a liquid or gaseous medium. Additionally, there is a supply unit for the hose-type supply line situated outside the area where the probe is being used. The probe features at least one outlet nozzle for the medium, and transmission means are provided between the camera and an evaluating and/or reproducing unit. Notably, at least three rotating outlet nozzles for the medium are situated on the periphery of the base body, with the jet axis of the medium angled between 0° to 45° from the central longitudinal axis.

Another significant patent is for a covering rosette for the connection region of a sanitary wall-fitting. This covering rosette comprises an ornamental hood that can be attached to the mounting wall, through which a sleeve extends. The axial position of this sleeve can be adjusted by screw-coupling it on the end of an S-shaped connecting piece facing towards the fitting. The ornamental hood is assembled from two halves, which are placed around the S-shaped connecting piece and the sleeve after the wall-fitting has been mounted.
