  • Patent number: 11761235
    Abstract: A locking device having a guard lock for safety doors includes a mechanical actuator which can be fastened on a movable door part and a housing which interacts with the actuator and can be fastened to a door counterpart. The housing includes a receptor to which the actuator can be inserted, and the housing comprises a locking element which is displaceable between an unlocked position, in which the actuator can be released, and a locked position, in which the actuator can be fixed relative to the receptor. The actuator comprises an engagement tongue having an engagement recess for mechanical operative engagement with a head end of a locking element in form of an engagement plunger, the engagement plunger being guided in the housing so as to be longitudinally displaceable in a spring-biased manner in the in a plunger longitudinal direction relative to an inner fixed bearing.

  • Patent number: 9653225
    Abstract: Electronic switching device having a housing in which at least one printed circuit board with circuit parts is arranged, the housing being designed with at least one housing cover, which closes a housing opening, and with a cable bushing for a connection cable and being provided with a filling made of a plastic material which surrounds the printed circuit board with circuit parts, wherein the printed circuit board (2) is encapsulated in the housing (1) in a supported manner on a grid-like carrier body (6), to which end the grid-like carrier body (6) has individual supports (7) which span an adjustment plane (X) depending on heights (Y) of the supports (7) and on which the printed circuit board (2) can be fixed at a distance from the housing walls (8, 9, 10) for a localized arrangement of the encapsulated circuit parts in the housing (1).

  • Patent number: 9431191
    Abstract: Position switch having a pivoting-lever actuator which has a switching shaft supported in an actuating head, said switching shaft switching an actuating element in order to move a plunger of a switching element arranged in a switch housing, wherein a switch head is fastened to the switch housing, the actuating head being fixable in a locking manner to said switch head in different angular positions, for which purpose the actuating head is connectable to the switch head via a plug-in toothing, wherein the switch head and the actuating head have crown toothings which are fittable axially to one another and the teeth of which that are arranged circumferentially in a manner spaced apart from one another provide first and second planar toothings, and the teeth of the first planar toothing have tooth flanks that have a greater radial extent than the teeth of the second planar toothing.

  • Patent number: 8494680
    Abstract: Guard lock for a component for closing an opening having a fixed part and a movable part, with a bolt, which is guided movably between a locking and an unlocked end position in the longitudinal direction of the bolt, a drive implementing a movement for moving the bolt and a transmission device between the drive and the bolt, wherein the drive is an electric motor, and the drive, the transmission device and the bolt are coupled in terms of movement in such a way as to directly transfer kinetic energy, it being possible for the bolt speed to be regulated via a control, and it being possible for monitoring of the movement of the drive, which is coupled in terms of movement to the bolt, to be implemented by the control, and the control being connected to at least one sensor for determining the position of the movable part relative to the fixed part.

  • Patent number: 8413765
    Abstract: An electronic safety system for an elevator with a controller, which is coupled to a motor for driving an elevator car, a safety controller and a bus by means of which the controller can communicate with bus nodes which receive data from at least one sensor. The controller can communicate with a safety circuit which can be put into an open state by the safety controller, as a result of which the motor is shut off, and the safety circuit has a means which notifies the controller of shut-off of the motor, or shut-off of the motor can be detected by the controller on the basis of the data transmitted from the bus nodes to the controller.
