  • Patent number: 9239127
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rotatable joint (1) comprising: a first joint member (10) for connection to a reference frame; a second joint member (20) connected with the first joint member (10) and configured for rotation relative to the first joint member (10) about an axis (13); and an adjustable stop mechanism (30) for defining limits of rotation of the second joint member (20) relative to the first joint member (10). The adjustable stop mechanism (30) comprises: a first part (40) provided on the first joint member (10) having at least a first stop (41) defining at least a first limit of rotation of the second joint member (20) about said axis (13) relative to the first joint member (10), wherein the first part (40) is adapted to be selectively positioned with respect to the first joint member (10) to set or define a limit or range of rotation of the second joint member (20) relative to the first joint member (10).

  • Patent number: 7004782
    Abstract: The connecting device (1) for electrical connection of a socket (2) of an electrical apparatus (3) with a socket plug (4) of a power cord (5) includes a cord receptacle (19) provided with curved first and second receptacle sections (7, 8) on opposite sides of the socket (2). The curved first and second receptacle sections (7, 8) are dimensioned so that a power cord loop (9) wrapped around the socket plug (4) can be held fixed in a first seat (10) in the first receptacle section and in a second seat (11) in the second receptacle section of the cord receptacle (19). Because of that unintended interruption of electrical power supplied to the electrical apparatus by unintentionally pulling the socket plug of the power cord out of the socket of the electrical apparatus is avoided.
