Abstract: Parts receptacles adapted to the shape of the parts are used for receiving the latter. A plurality of parts receptacles are positioned in an intermediate frame, while several intermediate frames are positioned in a base frame. The connection of the parts, parts receptacles, intermediate frames and base frames to one another takes place in positve and/or non-positive manner. Through this subdivision of the apparatus into the indicated components, flexible adaptation to material flow functions in plants and equipment is possible, independently of whether handling of the parts takes place manually, semi-automatically or fully automatically. An additional frame for the base frame is used for stacker transportation purposes.

Abstract: A handle comprises a gripping profile having a central portion provided with an upper and a lower edge. The central portion has a curved outer face serving as a viewing area and is defined by a pair of opposed slots for securing foils bearing indicia to the viewing area. The curved outer face of the central portion extends above a horizontal plane at an angular range .alpha. and below the same horizontal plane at an angular range .beta., where .alpha.<.beta.. On the inside of the gripping profile, the upper edge is provided with a holding bulge and the lower edge is provided with a holding web. The gripping profile is fixed to a holder on the pull-out part, by positively engaging the free end of the holder with the holding web, while the holding bulge snaps into a corresponding concave curvature provided on the holder. As a result, the handle is reliably secured.

Abstract: An apparatus for locking drawers and the like has a longitudinally guided operating rod for moving a ram mounted in the rear area of the drawer. A sloping surface of the ram projects into a bore of a pivotable lever and pivots it out of a fixed recess, permitting movement of the drawer. The ram is retracted by a spring so that the lever is urged by a torsion spring engages the recess to lock the drawer in the closed position on some other position where a recess is provided. The rod extends through the drawer front.
