Abstract: A cook top with a frame on which there is secured a cook top panel, in particular made of glass ceramic. A plurality of hot plates is provided which can each be heated by a heating element that is secured beneath the cook top panel. For the positioning of the heating element relative to the frame exactly one positioning element is secured on the frame. The positioning element has at least two spaced-apart connecting elements that engage in two corresponding positioning openings of a heating-element casing of the heating element which is to be positioned. In order to achieve high positional accuracy of the heating-element casing with low outlay, the frame has an installation shoulder that extends essentially parallel to the base of the heating-element casing, and the positioning element is secured in a precisely positioned manner on the installation shoulder.

Abstract: A cook top with a cook top panel, in particular a cook top panel made of glass ceramic, which is secured on a metallic, single-piece installation frame. The frame has side walls that extend essentially perpendicularly to the cook top panel and which has, on a base side, an installation shoulder which extends parallel to the cook top panel, at a spacing from the cook top panel. The installation shoulder surrounds a large-surface-area base opening formed in the installation frame. The installation shoulder is provided with component openings for securing components of the cook top. In order for it to be possible to configure the installation frame in the simplest possible manner in production terms, the installation frame is configured as a bent part. In this case, at least four side walls are configured as individual side-wall sections which are separate from one another and are each bent individually at right angles from the installation shoulder around a periphery.

Abstract: A cable guide for the trolley traveling winch on gantry cranes for container, general-cargo, and grab operation, with a land-side support and a water-side jib that can be tilted up, the necessary deflection rollers, tensioning devices, and at least one cable drum for the trolley traveling winch. In the cable guide for moving the trolley (8), all the cables (3a, 3b) and (6a, 6b) are led from the drive drum (13) to the land-side support end and are deflected there in the deflection rollers (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d) of the tensioning device (12a, 12b). One cable pair (3a, 3b) extends to the land-side cable connection (8a, 8b) of the trolley, and the second cable pair (6a, 6b) is led to the water-side jib end (5a, 5b), and is led to the water-side cable connection (8c, 8d) of the trolley after deflection by 180.degree. .

Abstract: A hoisting arrangement for a trolley (1) of a container crane with two motor-driven cable drums (2a, 2b), with cable rollers (4a-4d) arranged on the roller traverse (5), and with hoisting cables (3a-3d) guided between the cable fixed points (8a-8d) and the cable drums (2a, 2b). Hoisting arrangement provides cable drums (2a) and (2b) arranged, together with their drives (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b), offset in parallel by the drum diameter (12). A maximum cable distance (10) with fully wound cable drum (2a, 2b) is provided to correspond approximately to the distance (11) of the cable roller pairs (4a, 4b) and (4c, 4d) on the roller traverse (5), as well as approximately to the distance (9) of the cable fixed points (8a, 8b) and (8c, 8d) on the trolley frame (1). The cable drums (2a, 2b) are of double-thread design. During lowering, the cables (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) run on the cable drums (2a, 2b) in the inward direction and define the cable runoff path (15).

Abstract: A baking oven includes at least one boundary wall defining a baking space and at least one lighting device each including a first part in the form of a low-voltage bulb, a second part in the form of an electrical connection for the bulb, and a lamp socket disposed on the at least one boundary wall. The lamp socket receives the bulb from inside the baking space with the bulb protruding substantially completely into the baking space. The boundary wall has an opening formed therein for receiving and closely surrounding one of the parts of the lighting device.

Abstract: Heating device with a heating element of a material with positive temperature coefficient, of which two opposite sides are contacted by planar electrodes and give off the heat produced through the electrodes and planar sheets of insulating material covering the same to two heat-absorbing surfaces of a heater. The sheets of insulating material are coated on their side facing the heating element over a large area with a solder and are soldered to the electrodes. This insures permanent good heat transfer between the electrodes and the insulating material covering them. The firmly joining together of the heating element and the sheets of insulating material to form a structural unit facilitates the assembly, i.e., the installation of the heating device.

Abstract: This apparatus includes means for measuring capacitance or resistance and means for simulating a selected capacitance value. The apparatus is connectible into a fuel gaging system. When so connected, a selector switch can be operated to make the normal connections between the fuel gaging capacitors and the indicators, so that the indicators produce their normal responses. Alternatively, the selector switch may be operated so that the apparatus measures the capacitance or resistance of various elements in the gaging system. As another selection, a simulated value of capacitance may be inserted in the gaging system to make the indicators in that system respond to the simulated value in addition to the capacitance of the fuel gaging capacitors of the gaging system.
