Abstract: A drive apparatus in a self-propelled construction machine comprises a milling rotor and a main drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor via an engaging and disengaging clutch, and an auxiliary drive which can be coupled to the milling rotor alternatively to the main drive. The clutch is provided with a fixed side and an axially displaceable output side, which is displaceable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The axially displaceable side is simultaneously also the engaging and disengaging part of a shiftable transmission, the fixed part of which is driven by the auxiliary drive, with the transmission and the clutch being engaged and disengaged in a selective fashion via the axially displaceable side of the clutch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for positioning a milling drum box of a ground milling machine, in particular of a road milling machine, a recycler or a stabilizer, arranged on a machine frame relative to the ground, comprising the steps of: detecting the presence or absence of a ground contact, in particular in a region located in the front or a region located in the rear in the working direction (a), of at least one side plate of the milling drum box of the ground milling machine, and controlling a lifting and/or a lowering of the machine frame depending on the detected presence or absence of a ground contact. The present invention also relates to a ground milling machine for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A refillable vertical foregrip spray device. The device has a weapon mounting interface (M LOK, Keymod, Picatinny) integral to the valve block. The hollow cylindrical portion contains the pressurized liquid or gaseous contents of the operator's choice. The valve block houses a push button release valve with a sliding safety mechanism and a charge valve for pressurizing the device. The weapon mounting interface is integral to the valve block. The device does not require the use of disposable aerosol containers. When not weapon mounted the device can also be freely carried and the user can effectively dispense liquid or gaseous contents of their choice.

Abstract: A sensor system includes a plurality of sensor elements and a signal processing device. The plurality of sensor elements detect at least in part different primary measurement variables and utilize at least in part different measurement principles. The signal processing device is configured to evaluate the sensor signals of the sensor elements.

Abstract: A method for controlling the elevation of a retaining device of a ground milling machine as well as to a ground milling machine. Essential for the invention is that the retaining device is held in an initial position at a distance from the underlying ground and is reset from a yield position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling a height adjustment of a stripping plate of a ground milling machine, in particular a stripping plate of a cold milling machine, during the working process, said method comprising the following steps of detecting the striking of the stripping plate against an obstacle; automatically triggering the height adjustment unit for lifting the stripping plate from a working position, in which the stripping plate is in contact with the underlying ground to be processed, to avoid a further collision with the obstacle; and automatically triggering the height adjustment unit for lowering the stripping plate back to the working position upon overcoming the obstacle.

Abstract: A unit mount (1) for a motor vehicle is provided. The unit mount (1) includes a closed, one piece housing (7) with a housing opening (15, 33) on each of two sides that lie opposite each other; an elastomeric bearing spring (5) that is accommodated in the housing (7), and a support arm (3) that is secured within the housing (7) with at least one end protruding from one of the two housing openings (15, 33). For providing a cost-effective unit mount (1) with a simplified assembly, the elastomeric bearing spring (50) is inserted after the support arm (3) has been mounted.

Abstract: A virtual queuing system includes a server connected to a call center. The call center includes an automatic call distributor and a firewall. The server maintains virtual queues. User interfaces enqueu a call by a user of the call center to the virtual queues via the server. An application programming interface interfaces the user interfaces to the server.
