Abstract
The invention relates to a tilt and slide cover in a vehicle roof. The tilt and slide cover comprises a cover and a frame, which is supported in lateral guides of a roof opening. The special feature of the tilt and slide cover lies in the fact that the cover is arranged relatively moveable in relation to the frame and can be locked to and released from this. The frame comprises a plastic section, into which the slide guide and other fittings such as slide cheek holders or the like can be integrated in one piece. It is also possible to fix the rear water collection channel directly on the frame.
Claims29
An enclosure for applying negative pressure to a wound, the enclosure being attachable to the wound circumference so as to define a confined volume, and comprising a tube and a venting arrangement, the enclosure having an enclosure outlet connectable to a vacuum source via said tube so that negative pressure can be selectively created in said volume, said venting arrangement located outside said enclosure and comprising a flow restrictor to restrict flow through said venting arrangement located outside said enclosure and comprising a flow restrictor such that ambient air can enter said tube via said venting arrangement and flow to said vacuum source without having to enter said enclosure.
A vacuum system for applying negative pressure to a wound, the vacuum system comprising;
- an enclosure and a vacuum source, the enclosure being attachable to the wound circumference so as to define a confined volume;
- a tube;
- a venting arrangement comprising a flow restrictor to restrict flow through said venting arrangement, the enclosure having an enclosure outlet connectable to said vacuum source via said tube so that negative pressure can be created in said volume, said venting arrangement located outside said enclosure such that ambient air can enter said tube via said venting arrangement without entering said enclosure;
- and
- a waste container in fluid communication with said vacuum source.
A vacuum system for applying a negative pressure to a wound, the vacuum system comprising an enclosure and a vacuum source, the enclosure being attachable to the wound circumference so as to define a confined volume, and comprising a tube, the enclosure having an enclosure outlet connectable to said vacuum source via said tube so that negative pressure may be created in said volume, said tube comprising a venting arrangement comprising a flow restrictor to restrict flow through said venting arrangement located adjacent to said enclosure outlet and outside said enclosure such that ambient air can enter said tube via said venting arrangement and flow to said vacuum source without entering said enclosure, wherein said vacuum pump comprises a collection chamber upstream of a pump inlet of said vacuum source, and wherein said tube is connected to an inlet of said collection chamber.
