  • Patent number: 9289902
    Abstract: An arrangement includes a robot having a robot arm that supports a device powered by supply lines. The arrangement includes at least one guide element that is fastened to the robot arm, and the supply lines are moveably held against at least one segment of the robot arm by the at least one guide element. At least one storage element is provided for receiving a supply line provision. The at least one storage element releases the supply line from the supply line provision with an increasing tensile load of the supply lines and retracts the supply line into the supply line provision with a decreasing tensile load of the supply lines.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8002464
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for guiding at least one cable between a first system component connected to the cable and a second system component which is relatively rotatable and/or displaceable with respect to the first and is connected to the cable, whereby the cable exhibits a cable modality which can be changed by displacement and/or rotation of the second system component, whereby at least one device for adapting the cable modality is present. By making available a guide medium which allows the device for adapting the cable modality to be guided according to the displacement and/or rotation of the second system component, it is possible to provide a device which supports a mobile device without the function of the device being restricted by the cable guide.
