  • Publication number: 20170110265
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor drive having a position indicator for actuation of an on-load tap changer or diverter. The invention proposes a motor drive for actuating an on-load tap changer or diverter. This diverter has a drive motor which drives at least one load gear and an indicator gear, wherein the load gear has a first drive shaft, having a first drive pulley which is mechanically connected thereto and is connected to the drive motor, and a second drive shaft having a second drive pulley which is connected thereto. The first and second drive pulleys are mechanically coupled, wherein the second drive shaft itself is operatively connected on the first side thereof to the on-load tap changer or the diverter and can be connected by the second side thereof to the indicator gear.

  • Publication number: 20120104915
    Abstract: A dishwasher includes a wash container, in which a rack for holding items to be washed and/or dried is disposed. At least two lateral guide rails are disposed in the wash container for supporting the rack and allowing the rack to be pulled out of the wash container. Each guide rail includes a guide element disposed in a guide path of the guide rail in a longitudinally movable manner. Provided on the guide rail is a stop which limits a longitudinal movement of the guide element along the guide rail. The stop projects in a first position into the guide path, thereby inhibiting a pull-out movement of the rack. When acted upon in opposition to a pull-out direction, the stop is shiftable out of the guide path into a second position and, when acted upon in the pull-out direction of the rack, the stop is fixed in the guide path.
