Abstract: A current meter having a movably mounted swivel element, in which an angle is subtended between a first leg and a second leg of the swivel element. A free end of the first leg is coupled to the handle and a free end of the second leg is coupled to the first receiving element, these being movable relative to each other, so that upon activating the handle an activating force engaging with the first leg can be generated. The activating force can be converted by the swivel element into a displacement force on the second leg, directed transversely to the activating force, so that by this displacement force the first receiving element can be moved.

Abstract: This invention relates to a thermal imaging camera comprising a thermal imaging sensor and a cover plate that can be displaced between an open and a closed position by means of an electric drive. The invention is characterized in that the open and the closed position of the cover plate (1) form respectively self-locking end positions and that an electric drive is provided to switch between the end positions, said drive being supplied with no current in the self-locking end positions.

Abstract: A clamping device with mechanical damping for a traction mechanism drive is provided. The device includes a clamping arm which carries a tension roller on one end thereof and is rotatably mounted in a housing at the other end thereof via a shaft connected thereto in a rotationally fixed manner, and is elastically supported on the housing by a torsion spring. A free end of the shaft is connected to a friction disk in a rotationally fixed manner, and a friction lining is arranged between the friction disk and an axial abutment surface of the housing. The invention reduces the friction lining wear and increases the damping capacity thereof. To accomplish this, a separate friction disk (7??) is connected to a separate friction lining (8??) in a positively locked manner without play, and the separate friction lining ((8??) is in frictional contact with the axial abutment surface (10) of the housing (1).

Abstract: A current collector (1) according to the invention has at least one substantially plate-like and preferably thin-walled core region (2). This core region contains at least one electrically conductive third material. The current collector also has a first surface region (3) comprising at least one first material. The current collector also has a second surface region (4) comprising at least one second material. In this case, the electrical conductivity of the first surface region is lower than that of the second surface region. Furthermore, this first surface region is bounded and/or spatially separated from this second surface region.

Abstract: The device according to the invention for storing electrical energy comprises at least one galvanic cell. The same is at least partially surrounded by a casing. Furthermore, the device comprises a cell holding unit comprising an internal space. The at least one galvanic cell is arranged in the internal space. Furthermore, the cell holding unit comprises a wall, which at least partially delimits said internal space. Therein, the wall of the cell holding unit and/or the at least one galvanic cell comprise at least one hollow space. The at least one hollow space is at least partially filled with a first heat conducting means.

Abstract: A tensioner for a traction member includes a faceplate that is stationarily secured to a machine part, with a working eccentric member rotatably supported on the faceplate for limited rotation against a spring force. After pre-installation of the tensioner, a locking device fixes the position of the working eccentric member relative to the faceplate. In one installation position, a catch limits the pivot range of the working eccentric member.
