  • Patent number: 9440559
    Abstract: A vehicle seat (1), in particular a commercial vehicle seat, includes a scissor-type (scissors) framework (3) for adjusting the height. The scissors framework has intersecting rockers (8a, 8b) and at least one frame (5, 7), and at least one bearing device (21) for movably guiding the rockers (8a, 8b) in the frame (5, 7). A rotatable bearing roller (14) interacts with a first guide and a rotatable compensation roller (36) interacts with a second guide attached to a base region (52) of an insert (60). A lateral region (54) of the insert (60) extends perpendicularly to the base region (52) and is fixed to the frame (5, 7) and/or a head region (50) of the insert (60), extending parallel to the base region (52), is fixed to the frame (5, 7). The base region (52) is resiliently designed and presses against the compensation roller (36).

  • Patent number: 4600349
    Abstract: Apparatus for transporting sheet metal plates from a supply source and positioning the plates at a plate shearing table includes a carrier capable of horizontal transport. A device is secured to the carrier for effecting up and down and turning movement. A gripper member is mounted on the device and moves with it. The gripper member includes at least one electromagnetic plate with an annular sealing lip in the surface of the plate. In combination with the surface of the plate, the sealing lip forms a suction space connected to vacuum producing equipment. A switch controls the electromagnetic plate and a control valve operates the vacuum producing equipment with the switch and control valve arranged in a parallel switching network.
