Abstract: The subject of the present invention is a system for temporary storage and output of pilotless, movable vehicles in a parking garage as well as for transferring the pilotless vehicles froma transport platform 3 to a parking place and vice versa, including a means for lifting the vehicles, for moving them in the lifted position and for putting them down in another position. Carrier arms 13, 14, 15, 16 perpendicularly extending until into the area of the vehicle wheels are arranged on a longitudinal carrier 17 movable under the vehicle in longitudinal direction, at least two of the carrier arms being pivotable from a position directed in direction of the longitudinal carrier into the rectangularly extended position in which they under pressure bear on the lower area of the vehicle wheel and lift it from the standing place.

Abstract: A device for bridging expansion joints in bridges or the like is provided with parallel lamellae arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the traffic route. The lamellae are supported on at least two inclined traverses which are pivoted and movably supported at both sides in the joint edges, which bridge said joint diagonally with respect to the longitudinal axis, and are rotatably and movably guided in sliding drag bearings at the bottoms of the lamellae. The inclined traverses are arranged parallel to each other, whereby the support width of the lamellae is always uniform. At least one longitudinal traverse which is movably connected the longitudinal direction with each lamellae via sliding bearings fixed at the bottoms of the lamellae is provided for, preferably at the edge, for taking up the forces which inevitably occur due to movements of the bridge superstructure.

Abstract: A device for use in expansion joints in ramps, bridges, sidewalks, floors of multi-story car parks and the like having at least one cellular sealing strip made of an elastic material which when installed is supported on two opposite sides of the expansion joint. The strip has a number of planar faces that are at all times alined in a single common plane to form the top side of the sealing strip in every working condition thereof. Thus the top side of the strip is always planar no matter to what extent it is compressed or stretched. The webs forming the walls of the cells converge or diverge in relation to each other.

Abstract: The arrangement for covering over a gap in a roadway has bars running across the roadway. The bars are supported by transverse beams spanning the gap obliquely and which are supported at their ends in joint gap edge structures in such a way that the ends of the beams are able to slide and swivel in relation to the edge structures. The bars are carried on the beams by friction-reducing bearing parts so that sliding of the bars is possible. The bars have openings through the structure thereof (as for example holes in the bar itself or in a frame fixed thereto) to take up the beams and the bearing parts are adapted to allow sliding without swiveling between each bearing part and the associated beam and to allow swiveling between the bearing part and a bar joined thereto. The bearings are made of elastically yielding material and each have at least one bearing body.
