  • Patent number: 10391829
    Abstract: An assembly includes a motor vehicle frame element, a connecting element that is secured to the frame element, and a part that is secured to the connecting element. An integral bond between the connecting element and the frame element and/or the connecting element is/are designed in such a way that the elastic modulus thereof is smaller than the elastic modulus of the part.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9845116
    Abstract: A support structure in a framework construction is provided. The support structure includes a first and a second rod of an axle support of a motor vehicle, a positioning element, and a first and a second fiber winding. The positioning element fixes an alignment of the first rod relative to an alignment of the second rod. A first support section of the positioning element is drawn by the first fiber winding in the direction of a support section of the first rod, and a second support section of the positioning element is drawn by the second fiber winding in the direction of a support section of the second rod in order to hold the first and second rods in the fixed alignment relative to each other by a frictional connection.

  • Publication number: 20040262123
    Abstract: A sorting apparatus for conveyable articles which are conveyed, in particular, in a hanging state, for example items of clothing hanging on clothes hangers (10), has a sorting conveying path (14) which can be charged with the conveyable articles at at least one charging station (30, 32) and along which the conveyable articles can be conveyed in a conveying direction on driven running elements, for example individual hanger carriers (12). Branching off from the sorting conveying path (14) are a multiplicity of discharge branches (24), onto which the conveyable articles can be selectively discharged from the sorting conveying path (14) by discharge means. According to the invention, the sorting conveying path (14) is designed as an endless circulating path, the discharge branches (24) being combined into at least two discharge banks (26, 28), which are distributed along this circulating path (14) and between which in each case one charging station (30, 32) is provided.
