  • Patent number: 9065222
    Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly for a control device has a multi-layered PCB and a plug component. The PCB has a main section, a connection section, and a curved connecting section arranged between the main section and the connection section and connects the latter such that a main plane of extent of the main section runs at an incline to a main plane of extent of the connection section. The plug component has first and second plug connectors row which each contain a plug connector. Each plug connector has connecting elements with a connection part and a contact pin. The first and second plug connector rows follow one another in a stacking direction which is inclined to the main plane of extent of the main section such that the first plug connector row is at a larger distance from the main section than the second plug connector row.

  • Patent number: 5523536
    Abstract: A multi-pole vacuum switch which has, for each vacuum switching tube, a pole operating unit with a lever arrangement for changing the direction of movement produced by a drive device. Two toggle levers are arranged in a casing of the pole operating unit. A first toggle lever is connected to the operating plunger of the vacuum switching tube and the second toggle lever is connected to a supporting lever. The supporting lever acts on a contact pressure spring via a pull rod. In the switched-on position (where the switch is closed), the first and second toggle levers are close to dead center. An adjustment device permits the toggle levers to be adjusted relative to the supporting lever.

  • Patent number: 5512724
    Abstract: A vacuum switch including at least one vacuum switching tube and a pole operating unit which receives the vacuum switching tube at one of its ends. Each pole operating unit contains a lever arrangement for changing the direction of the operating movement provided by a drive device to the associated vacuum switching tube and a contact force spring. In addition, a connection contact surface for an external conductor is provided. The pole operating unit has a U-shaped carrier with elastically bendable legs. A connection device, also having a U-shaped cross-section, engages outside of the legs of the U-shaped carrier. A counter-bearing for the contact force spring is attached between the legs with when the legs of the carrier are bent. Alternatively, a cast metal connection device provided with cooling ribs can also be used.

  • Patent number: 5174711
    Abstract: A tilting and lifting apparatus for vehicle bodies for the ergonomically favorable preparation of batches of bodies in the series assembly of vehicles comprises a separate tilting device and a lifting device operable independently of the tilting device. The tilting device includes a swivelling frame which on the tilting side is swivellably guided on a pair of horizontally extending guide paths and on the lifting side on two vertically extending lifting pillars. The vehicle body is fastened rigidly on, and at a distance from, this swivelling frame, which is made as flat as possible. For the purpose of lifting this tilting device, two scissors-type lifting apparatus are disposed beneath the tilting device. The entire arrangement for the independent raising and lowering and the tilting of the body is mounted on a flat, rectangular platform on which it is possible to walk and which, in plan view, projects beyond the vehicle body to the extent of a gangway width.

  • Patent number: 5033870
    Abstract: A linear guide comprises a guide rail and a U-shaped slide overlapping the guide rail in a carrier-like manner. The slide is guided on the guide rail by ball circuits. Recesses in the guide rail are provided which allow placing of the slide on the guide rail and removal of the slide from the guide rail in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the guide rail.

  • Patent number: 4989996
    Abstract: A linear ball bush, wherein at least one straight ball row of a ball circuit bears radially outwardly against a running plate, which is inserted in an associated aperture of a cage and possesses an outer face for bearing against an inner circumferential surface of a bearing housing bore seating the cage, is filled in the manner that the balls, with the running plate tilted at one end out of the aperture, are introduced via a filling slope at the open end of the aperture and/or a filling chamfer at the outwardly tilted end of the running plate into a straight portion of a track, and that after the balls of the ball circuit have been completed, the running plate is tilted back into an operating position and is secured in the operating position.
