  • Patent number: 6938399
    Abstract: The invention concerns an arrangement for the movement of a working unit of an agricultural working implement between a first position and a second position, with an actuator that is provided with a chamber to which a pressurized medium can be applied and that is coupled to the working unit in such a way that it brings the working unit into the second position when the medium is applied to the chamber and the working unit reaches the first position when the medium is not applied to the chamber. An accumulator control arrangement serves to connect the chamber of the actuator to the accumulator only when the working unit moves into the first position.

  • Patent number: 4950093
    Abstract: A multiple-key unit is provided that includes a top portion, a base portion and a support mechanism. The support mechanism is provided with a body portion and a substantially U-shaped wire. The U-shaped wire includes a cross-part and two free ends that are inwardly bent and are parallel to the cross-part of the wire. The cross-part of the U-shaped wire is rotatably supported in a bearing in an eccentric manner at the key top and is parallel to the central, longitudinal axis of the key top. An assembly stop extends from the bearing and maintains the U-shaped wire, during assembly, in an oblique assembly position. Moreover, wire guides are provided in the cross-sides of the key base to vertically receive the free ends of the U-shaped wire during assembly, and in which wire guides the free ends are horizontally displaceable when the key is actuated.

  • Patent number: 4943174
    Abstract: A lever projects into the space between two guide plates for a sheet data carrier and is journalled so as to upwardly pivotable in the transport direction of the carrier against the force of a spring. A Hall-element sensor is secured adjacent to a magnet secured to the journalled end of the lever so that the sensor is activated by translation or rotation of the lever effected by engagement of the lever with the feeding of the data carrier. The lever is arranged to initially translate to activate the sensor and rotated after the translation so that when the lever is returned to its position prior to translation, only rotation of the lever switches the state of the sensor to indicate the position of the trailing edge of the carrier.
