Abstract: A submarine is equipped with an extending apparatus on whose free end a container (4) resistant to underwater pressure is arranged, in which an essentially recoil-free gun (5) lies. The container (4) in the submerged condition of the submarine may be brought to the water surface (15) by way of the extending apparatus, and pivoted out so that one may also shoot in the submerged condition.

Abstract: An optical observation device is connected to an extendable and retractable snorkel tube for above-water observation during the snorkel travel (travel at periscope depth) of the submarine. The optical observation device is designed as a compact unit which consists of an optronics unit with a short-travel drive. The compact unit is assembled on the snorkel tube. At least one further compact unit is provided which comprises at least one communication arrangement with a short-travel drive, wherein this further compact unit is likewise provided on the snorkel tube.

Abstract: The mast device for a submarine comprises a guiding means, a vertically traversable mast guided therein and information means which are provided at the mast upper end and which are in electrical interaction with the inside of the submarine for emitting and receiving information. The information means are arranged in a buoyant unit held on the mast upper end without connection to this. The buoyant unit is fastened to a flexible coupling means which may be let out and retracted and which is of the length essentially of the maximum desired observation depth of the submarine.

Abstract: A stacking apparatus for a thermoforming machine with a guide bar for a slider of a pivot arm which can be swung between positions along the pivot arm to pick up containers or covers and to deliver stacks of the containers in horizontal orientation to a receiving plate or conveyor. In another position of the guide bar, the pivot arm delivers the stacks of articles to the receiving table or conveyor in upright columns.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing and stacking deep-drawn articles of thermoplastic synthetic material or the like includes a heating unit, an intermittent foil transporting unit, a rigid upper tool, and a raisable and lowerable as well as pivotable lower tool, wherein the movements of the lower tool are determined by cam discs mounted on a drive shaft and by cam rollers for the cam discs, and a stacking device. The lower tool is arranged linearly movably guided in a pivoted bracket.
