Abstract: A plastic card includes a minichip card separably held in a carrier card. First and second separate and discrete breaking regions connect the minichip card to the carrier card along an outer contour of the minichip card. A gap separates a remainder of the outer contour of the minichip card from the carrier card. A breaking line on the carrier card, which has a higher flexibility than the rest of the carrier card, is interrupted by the gap and is closer to the first breaking region than to the second breaking region. When the carrier card is bent along the breaking line, the first breaking region separates, thereby leaving the minichip card attached to the carrier card by the second breaking region only. To fully separate the minichip card from the carrier, the minichip card is pivoted relative to the carrier card along the second breaking region until the second breaking region separates.

Abstract: These machines have the task to separate the containers stacked on the pallet as well as the intermediate bottoms provided for stabilization from each other. For this purpose additional devices are provided which are intended exclusively for the extraction and transportation of these intermediate bottoms. Now an essential simplification is to be accomplished, so that the extraction of the containers and the removal of the intermediate bottoms occurs automatically with the transposal movement of the container layer.

Abstract: An arrangement for displacing piece goods has a plurality of supporting shafts and a plurality of grippers mounted on the supporting shafts so that when some of the grippers come into contact with the piece goods at location whereat no gripping openings are provided they do not prevent other of the grippers from unobjectionable engagement into the openings of the piece goods, and the grippers are provided in such a number that they can engage in the openings arranged in accordance with any of the different opening patterns.
