  • Publication number: 20180370417
    Abstract: A winder is for a band-shaped element. A stator includes an end wall, which forms a first side support for the band-shaped element, and a band guide arranged perpendicularly to the end wall. A rotor comprises an end cover which forms a second side support for the band-shaped element. A reel boss is arranged perpendicularly on the end cover and provided with an engagement portion for receiving an end portion of the band-shaped element. A cranking handle projects from the end cover at a distance from the center axis of the reel boss. The stator includes at least one spacer element which supportingly abuts by an end face against a rim portion of the end cover of the rotor, and the stator and the rotor comprise complementary radial-guide means arranged to center the rotor on the stator.

  • Publication number: 20170330345
    Abstract: A control system and a method are for maneuvering an elongated element which projects in a pivotable manner from a foundation. The landing place is provided with a camera-readable pattern. The projecting end portion is provided with at least one camera which is arranged to imagine the graphic pattern when the end portion is near the landing place. The camera is connected in a signal-communicating manner to an image processor. The image processor is arranged to determine the position of the camera relative to the pattern by an image analysis and convert the image information into control parameters for the control system to position the projecting end portion relative to the landing place.

  • Patent number: 6732375
    Abstract: A child's bib for use concurrent with a pacifier so as to inhibit the pacifier from falling out of the child's mouth or to retain the pacifier adjacent the child's head. The bib can include a case of flexible material, such as cloth, and an inelastically deformable material encased within the case such that the bib may be deformed to form a stop structure to retain the pacifier or to catch the pacifier should it fall out. The bib can also include a bib element including an inelastically deformable material that is attachable to a surface of a conventional bib, such as via hook-and-loop tape. The bib can also be deformed to form a catch structure to catch material, such as food, that may exit the child's mouth.

  • Publication number: 20030159191
    Abstract: A child's bib for use concurrent with a dummy so as to inhibit the dummy from falling out of the child's mouth or to retain the dummy adjacent the child's head. The bib can include a case of flexible material, such as cloth, and an inelastically deformable material encased within the case such that the bib may be deformed to form a stop structure to retain the dummy or to catch the dummy should it fall out.
