Abstract: A medical suspension system (10) includes a ceiling plate (30) configured for mounting to a support structure (16). The ceiling plate supports a device (12), such as a lighthead or video monitor, which is mounted to the ceiling plate via an articulated arm (50) and a spindle (40), which is centrally mounted to the ceiling plate. A second device (14) is mounted to the ceiling plate, not through the spindle (40), in the conventional manner, but via an adapter plate (62), which is mounted directly to the ceiling plate. This increases the number of devices which are readily carried by the support structure without extending the spindle length which conventionally occurs when additional hubs are added to the main spindle.

Abstract: The warning tone transmitter (10) according to the invention has a piezoelectric horn element (12) with two input connectors (29, 30) for the application of the supply voltage at a determined frequency and has a circuit arrangement (14) fed from the current supply, which generates the supply voltage. In order to be able to receive confirmation that the horn signal is actually generated by the warning tone transmitter (10) and in order to be able more easily to calibrate the warning tone transmitter (10) such that it is driven at its resonant frequency the piezoelectric horn element (12) has an additional output connector (34), which, when the horn element (12) is fed with the supply voltage, generates an answering signal taken to the circuit arrangement (14) if the piezoelement is actually oscillating. The magnitude of the answering signal is a value for the sound volume of the warning tone transmitter (10).

Abstract: The invention concerns a radial piston pump comprising a rotating pump shaft having an end portion connected to a rotationally fixed eccentric ring, said radial piston pump further comprising an eccentric bearing arranged on an outer peripheral surface of the eccentric ring, the eccentric bearing comprising a needle roller bushing having radially inward directed flanges between which bearing needle rollers are arranged for rolling, at least one pump plunger arranged in a pump housing and extending radially of the pump shaft being supported by an end face on the needle roller bushing, while the end portion of the pump shaft is supported in a housing via an adjacent second support bearing.

Abstract: An electrical contact element 1 includes an elongate terminal lug 6 on a first end of the electrical contact element and a substantially rectangular contact zone 5 disposed on a second end of the electrical contact element. The contact zone 5 is laterally offset relative to the terminal lug 6. A U-shaped intermediate region 8 is disposed between the contact zone 5 and the terminal lug 6. The U-shaped intermediate region is connected to the contact zone 5 via a connection arm member 10 on one end thereof and is connected to the terminal lug 6 via a radius zone 12 on the other end thereof. The U-shaped intermediate region includes an upper leg member 14, an intermediate leg member 15, and a lower leg member 16. A plurality of connection zones shaped as radii or circular curved portions Z1, Z2, Z3, and Z4 are formed between the rectangular contact zone 5, the connection arm 10, the upper leg member 14, the intermediate leg member 15, and the lower leg member 16, respectively.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plastic hand grip 1 having two end zones respectively attachable in a support opening 5 by means of a connecting part. Each connecting part 3 has at least one locking zone adapted to grasp behind the support opening 5 and to be held therein in a spread position. The connecting part 3 has two oppositely facing connecting flanges 10, 11. One connecting flange 11 is resilient and the other connecting flange 10 is rigid. In closed position, the resilient connecting flange 11 is held in the spread position S by means of a secured arresting bolt 15. The connecting part below the two contact flanges 10, 11 is provided with two locations, arranged at a distance from each other, for a spring-loaded hinge bolt 20 for penetrating the end zones of the tiltably designed hand grip 1.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotation damper (1) including a plastic housing or storage part (2) carrying therein a rotor part (3). The rotor part (3) is joined to a rotatable shaft which extends through the housing. A damping device (4) is located between the storage part (2) and the rotor part (3). The damping device (4) surrounds the shaft and is made of damping plastic. The rotor part (3) and/or the damping device (4), respectively have at least one interengaging contact part which produces rotation resistance when the shaft is turning.

Abstract: A device for damping torsional vibrations in a drive train of a traction drive connecting an internal combustion piston engine and an auxiliary unit, comprising an overrunning clutch (5,30,48) arranged between a driving pulley (2,25,42) and an input shaft (1) of the auxiliary unit or between a crankshaft and a driven pulley of the internal combustion piston engine, characterized in that the overrunning clutch (5,30,48) comprises an inner or outer ring (8,9,28,29,50) made of sheet metal without chip removal on which locking ramps cooperating with locking rollers (10,30a,48a) are formed, and the inner or outer ring (8,9,28,29,50) extends at least on one side beyond a region of the locking ramps to form a raceway for a rolling bearing (6,7,31,32,45,49).
