Abstract: The invention relates to a microtome, in particular a rotary microtome (1), comprising a micrometer mechanism (3) having a drive (2) for producing a relative movement between an object holder (4) and a blade and a positioning device acting on the micrometer mechanism (3) to influence the relative movement, the positioning device comprising an advancing device (6) and a trimming device (7) interacting with the advancing device (6), said microtome being designed and modified with regard to a simple and reliable adjustment of the trimming device (7) as well as activation/deactivation of a retraction by structurally simple means in such a way that the positioning device has a combined actuating device (8) for both an adjustment of the trimming device (7) and also an activation/deactivation of a retraction which can be carried out by means of the advancing device (6).

Abstract: A passenger restraint apparatus for funfair rides is disclosed. It includes: a restraint body (30) having a leg support surface (31) which is adapted to be placed on the thighs of the passenger, and a first guide lever (40) which is fixed at its first end to the restraint body and which is pivotably coupled with its second end in the floor region in front of a passenger seat of a funfair ride in such a way that the restraint body can be pivoted in relation to the passenger seat about a first lower axis (61) which is disposed in transverse relationship to the longitudinal axis of the thigh of the seated passenger from an opened position into a closed position, characterized in that the first guide lever is coupled at its first end to the restraint body pivotably about a first upper axis (34) which is disposed in parallel relationship with the first lower axis and arranged adjacent to the first guide lever is a second guide lever (50) which i.
