  • Patent number: 8939485
    Abstract: A container-lifting spreader includes at least two beams movably supported in a housing and provided a drive by which the beams can be driven in telescopic movements for adjusting the length of the spreader. The drive includes an electric motor and a pusher acting on the beams, the pusher interconnecting the beams for simultaneous telescopic movements in mutually opposite directions in the longitudinal direction of the spreader, and a power transmission operatively coupled between the motor and the pusher. The power transmission includes an input shaft carrying an external gear ring driven by the motor, and an output shaft likewise carrying an external gear ring that operates the pusher, the gear rings in mutual engagement forming an angle gear arranged with an irreversible mesh of teeth such that rotation of the input shaft causes rotation of the output shaft whereas the reverse is prohibited by the irreversible mesh of teeth.

  • Patent number: 8556312
    Abstract: A container-lifting spreader includes locking pins insertable into seats formed at the corners of a container and upon rotation about their longitudinal axes are brought in locked engagement therewith. The locking pins are in pairs associated with a common drive effecting simultaneous rotation of the pins between locking and unlocking positions. The drive includes a reversible motor and a power transmission that includes two push rods respectively, each of which is hinged at one end to a locking pin, and at the other end to an operating lever included in the power transmission, such that a driven movement of the lever is transferred via the push rods to rotational movements of the pins. The lever acts as a pivoting arm supported on a rotatable shaft, the arm cooperating with fixed stops that mechanically limit the movement of the lever within an angular space determined by the e distance between the stops.

  • Publication number: 20120243970
    Abstract: An arrangement for cooling a gas turbine engine component includes a gas turbine engine component provided with at least one cooling channel through which a cooling medium is intended to flow during operation of the arrangement, a feeding system configured to supply cooling medium to the cooling channel, a cooling channel inlet, and a cooling channel outlet. The feeding system is arranged in flow communication with both the inlet and the outlet of the cooling channel such as to form a closed flow system. A gas turbine engine provided with such a component and a method for cooling such a component are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8025324
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement on a spreader for lifting containers, the arrangement comprising a flipper arm which is supported at the corner of the spreader such that the flipper arm is pivotable between an upraised rest position and a lowered operative position wherein the flipper arm is effective for positioning of the spreader corner relative to the corresponding corner of a container upon connecting the spreader to the container. The arrangement is characterized in that the flipper arm is carried on a rotatable shaft and driven by a motor, and wherein a power transmission is inserted between the motor and the flipper arm, the power transmission being effective for the transfer of torque from the motor to the flipper arm upon energizing the motor, and operative for locking the flipper arm in its pivoted position upon non-energizing the motor.

  • Publication number: 20110005192
    Abstract: A cooling system for an aircraft includes a cooling circuit for transporting a coolant, with the cooling circuit running to a component in the aircraft that is heated up during flying in order to take up heat from the heated-up component via the coolant. The cooling circuit runs to a jet engine for propulsion of the aircraft in order to release heat to a flow of gas in the jet engine via the coolant.
