Patent DE-19700012-A1 (DE)
Title: Ship's planking made from composite materials
Inventor: KRECH HANS DR
IPC: B63B3/16
Filed: 1997-01-02
Abstract: The ship's planking is made from composite material which follows the course of the waves. The planks are made in the form of blanks by industrial processes, and must thereafter be assembled by hand, leaving a gap between the planks. This gap is too small to admit water to the interior of the hull, but sufficient to enable the planks to follow the movement of the waves, in the manner of a Viking longship. If extra hard composite material is used, warships can be better protected against mine explosions.
Patent DE-19704625-A1 (DE)
Inventor: RINNE ROLF W DR

Filed: 1997-02-07
Abstract: Disclosed is a closing device comprising a container shoulder, a container head for applying the contents therein, and a closing cap, wherein said cap can be moved by using its rotational clamping function. Said closure, which is also known as a fractal closure, is provided for containers closed by a cap, irrespective of their size and embodiment, and which have a built-in container head with an opening to take out doseable media. According to the invention, threaded segments (1) are located in a narrow or optionally cylindrical base area (2) of the container head which is directly joined to the shoulder of the container (4). The application cone (3) follows onto the base area (2) of the container head which comprises the threaded area. The threaded segments (1), which are configured as a simple upward-winding thread, comprise few structural elements and are inconspicuous. Said segments can be configured as lines, dots or lugs. As a further characteristic of the invention, the cover plate (7) of the closure cap (5) has openings or windows (8) in the area of the inner cylinder (6) of the closure cap (5) and a closure lid (10) held by strips (9). Parts of a freshness seal (14) that is center-fixed on the face of the application cone (3) of the container head can be seen from the outside even when the container is closed. The windows (8, 12) on the closure can be provided in any number or shape. The advantages gained by making the freshness seal (14) visible are used to make savings in material and/or to provide a more advantageous design.
Patent DE-19708840-A1 (DE)
Inventor: ZIMMERMANN MICHAEL DIPL ING
IPC: B61D25/00
Filed: 1997-03-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a frame for fastening a flat element, in particular a window pane, to an even or curved wall structure, especially a car body wall, which frame consists of profiled parts and cold-join connecting elements for joining said profiled parts.

Title: Childproof packaging for pharmaceutical or detergent tablets in deep drawn container
Inventor: GRUENBERGER MANFRED ING
IPC: B65D77/30
Filed: 1997-11-20
Abstract: A tear tab for a deep-drawn packaging container comprises a deep-drawn bottom section containing a cavity for receiving the goods and having a flange around the cavity periphery. The bottom section is sealed with a removable cover film and optionally a press-through film.An easily gripped section or surface region of the flange is formed by making an incision (4, 4`) on two sides of the flange. These two incisions continue as perforation lines (6, 6`) extending at an angle of 0-135  deg  to the incisions and these lines end at a third incision (8). The force required to open the container by removing the cover film can be varied by changing the width of the gaps (7) between the perforations in the perforation lines and by changing the thickness of the packaging. Pulling the tab helps remove the cover film, which is pulled off with the tab.
