Abstract: A hi-hat cymbal controller for use with an electronic moveable hi-hat cymbal and clutch, both couplable to the pull rod of a traditional hi-hat stand, contains an internally movable electromagnetic field source and sensor responsive to electromagnetic field changes. Downward motion of the hi hat cymbal and/or clutch relative to the stationary controller causes the field source to move axially relative to the sensor which generates a signal data useful by a drum module to initiate and terminate playback of audio samples characteristic of the co-action between the top and bottom cymbals of an acoustic hi-hat system.

Abstract: A lift arrangement of a lift truck, especially a forklift truck, has a lift mast defining a z-axis. The lift mast includes a first mast section and a second mast section. Damping elements made from elastic material are provided on the first mast section and/or the second mast section preventing a hard impact of the second mast section with the first mast section at the run-in end position of the second mast section. The damping elements are configured and arranged in such a manner that, in addition to damping the movement of the second mast section in the direction of the z-axis, the damping elements damp movements of the second mast section in the directions of the x-axis and the y-axis running perpendicularly to the z-axis.

Abstract: An industrial truck has a lift mast, which has a height-adjustable load support and an overhead guard that is disposed on a side of the lift mast facing away from the load support. The guard protects the operator against falling loads and objects. The lift mast on the side thereof facing away from the load support has an adapter for the overhead guard that has two adapter limbs disposed in parallel to each other and connected to the lift mast. The overhead guard has two projecting connection limbs each of which lies flat on one of the adapter limbs and is connected thereto.

Abstract: A lift frame has a lift mast along which a lift carriage is arranged so as to be movable in elevation. At least one hydraulic line progresses along the lift mast and a tensioning device is provided for the hydraulic line. The tensioning device has a bracket mounted permanently on the lift frame and a deflection section for the hydraulic line. The deflection section can be selectively mounted at different elevations on the bracket to adjust the tension in the hydraulic line. An industrial truck incorporating the lift mast is also disclosed.

Abstract: A lift mast for an industrial truck has a plurality of frames disposed within one another that are adjustable in height relative to one another. A lift height sensor assembly has a pulse generator and a sensor unit. The pulse generator is configured as an elongated element disposed on one frame and the sensor unit is disposed on a second frame. The sensor unit has a sensor head having at least one running wheel. The sensor head is mounted pivotably and the running wheel rests against the first frame or pulse generator under pretension using a resilient element.
