Abstract: A lifting system for vertical adjustment of a transportation system structure consists of a foot that is fastened onto the transportation system structure and during manufacturing assembly of the transportation system structure points downwards, and a foot cradle. The foot is bounded on opposite sides by two foot surfaces that are arranged at a foot-surface angle to each other.

The supporting surfaces are vertically movable, allowing the foot and transportation system structure to be raised or lowered, and the vertical adjustment thereby takes place. A transportation system cradle has at least one such foot cradle, and together with the transportation system structure suggested, form an intermediate product that can be moved between assembly stations in an assembly plant.

Abstract: An expander roller for the wrinkle-free guidance of webs in closed chambers comprises two stationary supporting bodies (7, 8) which are oriented with respect to one another at an obtuse angle in the proximity of a center plane (E—E). On both sides of the center plane (E—E) on the supporting bodies (7, 8) are disposed roller sections (12) with surfaces in the form of truncated cones with shell lines (M1, M2) and which during their rotation pass through positions in which said shell lines (M1, M2) are aligned with one another. The surfaces (12a) of the rollers are herein steplessly in line one with the other in succession and the rollers are supported via roller bearings in groups (10, 11) on the two supporting bodies (7, 8).
