Abstract: A fall arrest device for blocking a rope when a relative speed between the rope and the device reaches a threshold value comprises a blocking mechanism for blocking the rope, and a trigger mechanism configured for triggering an activation lever of the blocking mechanism for activating the blocking mechanism for blocking the rope when the speed reaches the threshold value, wherein the trigger mechanism comprises a drive axis rotated by the rope upon relative movement between the rope and the fall arrest device, the drive axis carrying a centrifugal weight holder, wherein at least one centrifugal weight is held acting against a restoring force of a spring, wherein the at least one centrifugal weight is movable between an inactive position and a trigger position for triggering the activation lever when the speed reaches the threshold value.

Abstract: An endless cable winch includes a working cable, a housing, in which is mounted a driving cable pulley around at least a part of which the working cable is wrapped, and further includes a drive for driving the driving cable pulley, wherein the housing is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis, and a sensor is provided for detecting a pivoting movement of the housing for detecting an overload state of the working cable.

Abstract: An endless cable winch or hoist which is particularly suited for a service lift comprises a working cable and a safety cable, further comprises a driving cable pulley around at least a part of which the working cable is wrapped, further comprises a drive for driving the driving cable pulley, further comprises a non-driven safety cable pulley, which is rotatably mounted in a housing and around at least a part of which the safety cable is wrapped, and further comprises an arresting device which is coupled via a brake to the cable pulley and which blocks and brakes the safety cable by means of the brake when the safety cable moves with a predetermined speed at least in one direction.

Abstract: Thin thermoplastic foil is applied with the aid of a wide slit nozzle and an electrostatic discharge electrode to a nonwoven mat of thermoplastic fibers and filaments on a bonding roller and the resulting composite is then subjected to biaxial stretching utilizing at least some of the bonding heat carried by the composite. The composite may then be thermally fixed before being cooled to room temperature.

Abstract: In a gearshift device, especially in a motor vehicle, for shifting the speeds of a transmission, with a bearing bracket with a ball joint cup that receives a ball joint sphere mounted on a gearshift lever pivotable in two planes, stops mounted on the gearshift lever and fixed stops in the area of the ball joint sphere are provided, an imaginary line connecting which runs through the central area of the ball joint sphere, one pair of stops being provided with a rounded element for rolling on the other pair of stops. An adjusting plate formed on the bearing bracket is pivotably mounted in the fastening area with a base plate, in one pivot plane (preselection plane) of the gearshift lever.

Abstract: An apparatus for extruding a thermoplastic laminate has a nozzle assembly having a nozzle body centered generally on a plane and formed at the plane with a merge passage, with an outlet slot opening in one direction from the merge passage, with core-layer distribution and intake passages centered on the plane and opening in the opposite direction into the merge passage, and with cover-layer distribution and intake passages opening laterally into the merge passage. A core-layer fitting formed with tempering chambers forms part of the core-layer intake passage and a trimmings fitting mounted on the nozzle body has a trimmings intake passage and a trimmings feed passage extending therefrom to the cover-layer distribution passage. A liquefied core-layer resin is fed under pressure to the core-layer intake passage and therethrough to the merge passage and outlet slot.
