  • Patent number: 11664613
    Abstract: A conductor connection terminal, having an insulating material housing, a busbar, a clamping spring and an operating lever which is pivotably received in the insulating material housing over a pivoting range and can be pivoted between an open position and a closed position, wherein the clamping spring has an operating arm which is deflected via a spring driver of the operating lever at least in the open position, characterized in that the operating lever is supported in the open position at a first and a second support point spaced from the first, and that the operating lever is pulled against the first and the second support point by a tensile force of the clamping spring acting on the spring driver from the operating arm.

  • Publication number: 20220131438
    Abstract: A transport system, in particular a multi-carrier system, includes a plurality of linear motors, which are arranged in a row and form a guide track, and at least one transport element that can be moved along the guide track with the linear motors. The linear motors each have at least a first connection region, which faces and is associated with a linear motor disposed upstream along the guide track, and a second connection region, which faces and is associated with a linear motor disposed downstream along the guide track, wherein a respective plug connector mechanically connects the first connection region of a linear motor disposed downstream along the guide track and the second connection region of a linear motor disposed upstream along the guide track to one another and establishes a power connection and/or a signal connection between the neighboring linear motors.
