  • Patent number: 5842589
    Abstract: A crane, in particular railbound mobile crane, with a luffing jib telescoping at both sides which can be swung up and down as well as raised and lowered with its base boom. The boom is supported in its end regions at the vehicle on a swivel bearing which can be raised and lowered. The luffing jib is swivelable about vertical axes in the region of the swivel bearings. For this purpose, every swivel bearing is supported at one of two separate multiple-axle traveling mechanisms so as to be displaceable traverse to the longitudinal axis of the mobile crane. The two traveling mechanisms are coupled with one another via the base boom of the luffing jib, which base boom is connected with the swivel bearings.

  • Patent number: 5390520
    Abstract: A pipe-bending press with a large bending length in a closed frame construction, has a frame with side columns and upper and lower cross-pieces. The table supporting the lower bending tools is supported at the lower cross-piece and the upper bending tool which is guided vertically at the side columns in a parallel manner is supported via a plurality of identical piston/cylinder units arranged side by side so that the upper bending tool can be raised and lowered relative to the upper cross-piece. The cylinder spaces of the piston/cylinder units are connected to a common pressure medium unit via a common control line, and the lower piston/cylinder units are arranged between the table supporting the lower bending tools and the lower cross-piece.
