Abstract: A golf bag for receiving a plurality of golf clubs. The bag comprises a bag body (1) with a longitudinal axis (13), an inner chamber (11) and a lateral area (12) which essentially extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis (13). Holding devices (2) are arranged on or within the lateral area (12). The holding devices are used for receiving golf clubs (3) having club shafts (32) that essentially extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis (13). Golf clubs held in holding devices (2) are situated outside the inner chamber (11). A golf club (3) that is held in a holding device (2) is essentially covered on the side facing away from the inner chamber (11) by a self-closing cover (4). The bag body (1) is composed of two shells (16) and can be unfolded along a hinge axis (7) which extends essentially in parallel in relation to the longitudinal axis (13) thereof, whereby the inner chamber (11) thereof becomes accessible.

Abstract: An electromagnetic device for inductive position measurements for eliminating both the disadvantage of a limited measuring range and the disadvantage of superimposed interference voltages in the event of directional changes by providing a probe having a plurality of winding axes having coils with turn diameters which are greater, as the distance from the center of the probe increases. This creates the possibility of filling the entire probe volume with turns, and an almost complete independence from the direction of the probes relative to one another is shown for distance measures.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring respiration and cardiac activity of a person lying in a bed comprises a bed mounted for polydirectional movement and subjected to a restoring force when the bed is disturbed from its normal position. Pulses originiating from the person are detected by a vertically oriented sensor and a pair of horizontally oriented sensors thereby permitting monitoring of a wide range of respiratory and cardiac activity. In one arrangement, the bed is suspended by cords or on a vertical frame from a bracket. In other arrangements, the bed is variously mounted on a gimbal mechanism, on a support column which passes through a bearing ball, by flotation, and by a universal bearing joint.

Abstract: A physiological test probe, in particular a vaginal electrode for the derivation of the foetal electrocardiogram, adapted to be transcervically fixed by means of points to the skin of the foetal head and attached to an output conductor cable. The probe may be a clip having a pair of planar parallel legs extending from a partially circular spring portion and having inwardly directed punctiform teeth on the free ends thereof, or may be provided with invasive contact points which are obliquely angled forwards from the longitudinal probe axis and ensure a good contact and as little damage as possible inflicted to the skin tissue of the foetal head. This probe is suitable for mounting elements associated with further measuring systems in order to allow remote instrumentally monitored observation of the birth process.
