  • Patent number: 6866253
    Abstract: A rail (100, 100?) is formed with ends (102, 104) configured so that they can be placed together and mounted to the post (P) of a fencing system. A breakaway feature (122, 124, 126) permits the rail to break free of the post (P) when a threshold level of force is applied to the rail. Two adapters (200) can be attached to a stock rail (R) to form a breakaway rail.

  • Patent number: 6836052
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (12) for tensioning a winding (9) of a stator (1), in particular a generator stator (1) of a power plant. The winding (9) includes a winding head (10). Several winding supports (13) are arranged at the front side (4) of the core (2). Each winding support (13) abuts against the front side (4) of the core (2) and via a pressure spring element (19) against the funnel-shaped outer side (14) of the winding head (10). The winding supports (13) are fixed at the winding head (10) in the circumferential direction and in the surface line direction of the winding head (10). The winding supports (13) are movable perpendicularly with respect to the outer side (14).
