Abstract: A conveyor device having a rotor and container carriers that suspend containers around the rotor includes a container support to support the sides of the suspended containers. The container support has an outer container guide with a height-adjustable outer container support surface that defines a tapered surface surrounding a machine axis about which the rotor rotates. The outer container support surface supports the containers on a radially outward portion of their surface and an inner container support surface supports the containers on a radially inward position of their lateral surface. The two support surfaces define a receptacle that receives the container's base. The receptacles width decreases as a function of distance from the container carriers. The inner container support surface is height-adjustable for adapting the container support device to different container base diameters.

Abstract: A reinforcement arrangement of high-tension resistant steel for prestressed concrete members or buildings, in which rigidly attached projecting portions protrude substantially from the periphery of the reinforcement. Passages between the projecting portions and the periphery of the reinforcement permit embedding of the reinforcement in the form of a bundle or packet consisting of one or several reinforcements, in a predetermined material which is subsequently introduced. Such material may be in the form of a corrosion inhibitor, or compact substance such as cement mortar. The reinforcement may be in the form of a multistrand wire or cable in which the projecting portions are annular and located at predetermined intervals along the length of the reinforcement. The projecting portions may be of iron or steel, as well as plastic material.
