  • Patent number: 5774936
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roller, especially a deflection roller (R), with a fork (2) bearing the tyred running wheel (1) and a braking device (25), at least for the rotary movement of the wheel (1), which has a push-rod (10) which can be moved towards the wheel (1) via an actuating device (1), a braking component (26) pressing into the tire (29) and a power storage spring (F) between the actuating device (11) and the braking device (11), and, in order to provide an easily used, tire saving braking device, proposes that the characteristic/prestress on the power storage spring (F) be designed in relation to the pressure resistance of the tire (29) in such a way that, in the braking position of the actuating device (11), in relation to the braking component (26), a determined depth of penetration into the tire (29) stopping the rotation of the wheel (1) is maintained and not exceeded.

  • Patent number: 5678659
    Abstract: An order picking truck, in particular a high-lift order picking truck, is equipped with a driver's stand (3), a load-picking fork (5) and a wall (11) separating the driver's stand (3) from the load area. The fork (5) is secured on an initial lift device (7, 8, 9, 10) so that it can be moved up and down relative to the driver's stand (3). According to the invention, an additional lift device (17, 18, 20) is provided with which a load on the fork can be raised beyond the highest position of the initial lift device. The fork has two-part fork tines (12, 13) which each have a load picking upper part (13) and a lower part (12) secured to the initial lift device. Each two-part fork tine includes a scissor construction (19) guiding the upper part (13) of the tine parallel with the lower part (12) of the tine.
