  • Patent number: 11772940
    Abstract: A vehicle crane system includes a vehicle crane with an attachment part, in particular a bracing device, which can be mounted on and removed from the telescopic jib of the vehicle crane, and to an attachment part transporting unit for transporting an attachment part of a telescopic jib of the vehicle crane. A mobile transporting device is provided for transporting the attachment part and has at least one loading arm, the free supporting end of which can be coupled to the attachment part carried or to be carried on the transporting device. The loading arm is arranged movably on the transporting device such that the attachment part can be moved between the transporting device and the telescopic jib. Furthermore, the transporting device has a tilting device which is designed for raising and lowering one side of the attachment part carried or to be carried on the transporting device.

  • Patent number: 11453577
    Abstract: A vehicle crane system includes a vehicle crane having a detachable attachment part, in particular a main jib, and an attachment part transporting unit which is designed to receive the attachment part when the latter is detached from the vehicle crane and comprises a mobile transporting device for transporting the attachment part. To remove and mount the attachment part of the vehicle crane and to transport it, the transporting device is equipped with at least one loading arm, the free supporting end of which is provided for at least indirect temporary coupling to an attachment part which is to be received or is already received. The loading arm is mounted pivotably on the transporting device such that an attachment part to be loaded or unloaded can be moved down onto the transporting device or from the transporting device.

  • Publication number: 20140131300
    Abstract: A jib for a crane is foldable between an operation arrangement and a transportation arrangement. In the operation arrangement a first jib element and a second jib element are coaxially arranged with respect to a longitudinal axis of the unfolded jib. In the transportation arrangement the jib is folded such that the first jib element axis and the second jib element axis are arranged parallel and spaced apart with respect to each other. A first hinge axis of a jib connecting unit and a second hinge axis of the jib connecting unit are oriented transversally with respect to a first jib connecting axis and to a second jib connecting axis, respectively.

  • Patent number: 8438415
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for steering a time-of-day (TOD) clock for a computer system having a physical clock providing a time base for executing operations that is stepped to a common oscillator. The method includes receiving, at a processing unit, a request to change a clock steering rate used to control a TOD-clock offset value for the processing unit, the TOD-clock offset defined as a function of a start time (s), a base offset (b), and a steering rate (r). The unit schedules a next episode start time with which to update the TOD-clock offset value. After updating TOD-clock offset value (d) at the scheduled time, TOD-clock offset value is added to a physical-clock value (Tr) value to obtain a logical TOD-clock value (Tb), where the logical TOD-clock value is adjustable without adjusting a stepping rate of the oscillator.
