Abstract: The invention relates to an overhead conveyor with transport pouches for conveyed goods, wherein the transport pouches are rotatable relative to the carrier, wherein the overhead conveyor furthermore has a loading station with a guide rail arranged below the running profile. The transport pouches, before reaching the guide rail, assume a second orientation rotated with respect to the first orientation. The guide rail has a guide edge which, when the transport pouch reaches the guide rail, is brought into contact with the region of the holding bracket located between the bag and a carrying hook. The guide edge has a first section which crosses the conveying plane, so that the transport pouch, when passing the first section, is moved away from the conveying plane relative to the carrier, wherein the guide edge serves as a support via which the loading opening, when passing the first section, is levered open such that the bag is clamped and the transport pouch can be loaded.

Abstract: A magnetic coupling arrangement in a conveyor system, having at least one driver element for arrangement on a conveyor system, the driver element having a receiving body with a receiving space for receiving a magnet in the receiving space, wherein the magnet can be brought into coupling connection at its coupling side with a coupling side of a ferromagnetic counterpart for conveying force transmission, or has a ferromagnetic counterpart for a magnet in the receiving space. The ferromagnetic counterpart can be brought into coupling connection at its coupling side with a coupling side of a magnet for conveying force transmission. A ferromagnetic plate is arranged on the magnet on its side facing away from the coupling side in order to shorten the path of the magnetic lines of force on this side of the magnet.

Abstract: A magnetic coupling arrangement in a conveyor system, having at least one driver element for arrangement on a traction means of the conveyor system, the driver element having a receiving body with a receiving space for receiving a magnet in the receiving space, wherein the magnet can be brought into coupling connection at its coupling side with a coupling side of a ferromagnetic counterpart for conveying force transmission, or has a ferromagnetic counterpart for a magnet in the receiving space, wherein the ferromagnetic counterpart can be brought into coupling connection at its coupling side with a coupling side of a magnet for conveying force transmission. A ferromagnetic plate is arranged on the magnet on its side facing away from the coupling side in order to shorten the path of the magnetic lines of force on this side of the magnet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a canister for a metered dose inhaler for storing a propellant and a medicament under pressure and dispensing said medicament and to a method of producing such a canister. The canister (1) comprises an interior cavity (5) defined by a tubular sidewall (2) defining a longitudinal axis (4) of the canister (1), and a bottom wall (3) and a top cover (15) closing opposite longitudinal ends of the sidewall (2) such that the sidewall (2) extends along the longitudinal axis (4) between the bottom wall (3) and the top cover (15). The bottom wall (3) comprises a central inwardly domed portion (8). The wall thickness of the sidewall (2) is smaller than the wall thickness of the bottom wall (3), and the thickness of the bottom wall (3) is in the range of 0.25 to 0.47 mm and the thickness of the sidewall (2) is in the range of 0.15 to 0.42 mm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for producing a gun cartridge casing in a single multiple station deep drawing transfer press.

Abstract: A chassis dynamometer for use with a test vehicle such as a snowmobile is provided. First and second spaced apart rolls support the test vehicle. A belt is arranged around the first and second rolls and rotationally couples the rolls to one another. The belt includes an outer surface on a test side of the belt for supporting the test vehicle. The belt reduces slipping of the track on the dynamometer. The belt receives inputs from the test vehicle. A processor quantifies the inputs from the test vehicle. A platform is arranged between the first and second rolls beneath the belt to maintain engagement of the track with the belt. The platform includes a load cell for detecting a longitudinal load imparted to the platform by the belt.

Abstract: The overall deformation of a tire is measured by using two reference points in different parts of or at least in close proximity to different parts of the rim of the wheel, the reference points are spaced apart in a direction transversely to the plane of rotation of the tire; two transducers are respectively connected to the reference points and to the same particular point on the inside of the tire opposite the running surface to establish a triangle in a cross sectional radial plane of the tire; each of the transducers includes a force sensing element responsive to the change in distance between the respective reference point and the measuring point; the transducers further including tension springs to establish mobility as between the measuring and reference points.
