  • Patent number: 9470253
    Abstract: Push-on fitting (10) for a push-on suction cup (20) for a conveyor belt (30) for transporting or lifting goods, which push-on fitting (10) comprises a base disc (12) having a front side (11) and a rear side (13) and being adapted to be mounted in a hole (32) of the conveyor belt (30), said base disc (12) having a hole (15) for through airflow and being provided with a hollow push-on snap fitting pin (14) for through airflow, said pin (14) extending outwardly essentially perpendicular to the front side (11) and adapted to receive a push-on suction cup (20), wherein the snap fitting pin (14) comprises at least a pair of axial slots (16) adapted to provide at least a pair of flexible tongues (14a, 14b) formed in an end (17) of the pin (14) and in that the flexible tongues comprise a concentric snap fitting rim (18) having a variable diameter (D1), that can be varied by an end (19) part of the flexible tongues (14a, 14b) being acted upon, for receiving the push-on suction cup (20) provided with a washer (22) havi

  • Patent number: 7898489
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for adjusting the beam direction of a beam radiated from a stationary array of antenna elements. Antenna element feed points are coupled to a common source via a feed line structure having a source connection and feed connection terminals to be connected to the antenna element feed points, the feed line structure being at a distance from and in parallel to a fixed ground plane. A movable element is located adjacent to the feed line structure to change the signal phase of signal components being transferred between the source connection and the respective feed connection terminals. The movable element is movable for effecting a phase shift of the signal components to adjust the beam direction. The device is provided with a detection arrangement for detecting the absolute position of the movable element.

  • Publication number: 20090278761
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for adjusting the beam direction of a beam radiated from a stationary array of antenna elements, wherein at least two antenna element feed points are coupled to a common signal source via a feed line structure having a source connection terminal to be connected to said source and at least two feed connection terminals to be connected to said antenna element feed points, said feed line structure being at a distance from and in parallel to a fixed ground plane on at least one side of said feed line structure, wherein a movable element is located adjacent to said feed line structure so as to change the signal phase of signal components being transferred between said source connection terminal and the respective feed connection terminals, said movable element being movable for effecting a controlled phase shift of said signal components so as to adjust said beam direction.
