Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing a membrane electrode unit (1), provided with a peripheral seal (9') and a peripheral sealing frame (12), for an electrochemical cell, in particular for a fuel cell, comprising the following steps of: (A) producing a sandwich-like arrangement, forming the membrane electrode unit (1), from a membrane (4) and two gas diffusion electrodes (2, 3), (B) connecting the sandwich-like arrangement to a seal (91) that extends around said electrodes at the lateral outer edge thereof, said seal (91) at the same time establishing the connection to the sealing frame (12) that extends laterally around the membrane electrode unit (1). In this case, step (B) takes place with the application of a pressing operation. In this case, before the pressing operation is carried out, the sealing material (9) of the seal (91) connecting the membrane electrode unit (1) to the sealing frame (12) is arranged in a gap (8) in the sealing frame (12), said gap (8) being open towards the lateral outer edge of the membrane electrode unit (1), such that a part of the sealing material (9), which is flowable during the pressing operation, penetrates laterally into the two gas diffusion electrodes (2, 3).

Abstract

There is provided herein a seal, including a substantially H-shaped sealing profile. The sealing profile, when viewed in cross section, comprises two longitudinal webs which are arranged adjacent one another and spaced apart from one another. A cross web connects the two longitudinal webs and forms a pivot joint about which the two longitudinal webs are pivotable in a clothes-peg-like manner relative to one another. Each longitudinal web comprises a peg arm at a first end and a sealing lip at a second end. The peg arm is shaped in the form of a latching lug and engages an installation groove of a machine element. The peg arms thereby provide a static seal for sealing the installation groove.

Abstract

A cleaning implement that includes a connector for connecting a handle to a base block. The connector prevents the handle from rotating relative to the base block and, thus, the connector prevents the handle from unscrewing or otherwise loosening or disconnecting from the base block. The base block can include a headpiece supported between oppositely arranged shoulders, a generally cylindrical flange projecting from the headpiece, and a generally cylindrical opening extending through the cylindrical flange. A slot may be formed in an inner surface of the cylindrical flange. A ferrule that can have a generally dovetail-shaped projection provided on its outer surface can be secured to an end of the handle. The projection and the slot can form a joint when the handle is connected to the base block. This joint substantially prevents the handle from rotating relative to the base block.

The invention relates to a mop (1) comprising a mop-head plate (2) for a mop cover (3). The mop-head plate (2) comprises a first connector (4), which can be connected to at least one second connector (5) of a wringer device (6) in order to wring out the mop cover (3). The invention also relates to a wringer device (6) for a mop (1) comprising a mop-head plate (2) for a mop cover (3), said plate having two folding mop-head plate parts (7, 8). Said wringer device (6) comprises a funnel-shaped wringer compartment (22). The mop cover (3) can be introduced into said compartment from above and compressed by actuating the wringer device, when the mop-head plate parts (7, 8) are in an essentially vertical position and said cover is partially detached and suspended from said parts. The opposing transversal surfaces (10, 11) of the mop-head plate parts (7, 8) form compression surfaces. The wringer device (6) comprises a lever unit (23) with the second connector (5), said lever unit consisting of an actuating lever (24) and a pressure lever (25) that is connected to the actuating lever (24).
