Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic positioning device (10) having energizable stationary coil means (1), a magnetic guide element (2) associated thereto and having a core section (2a) and an anchor unit (3) moveable in relation to the guide element (2) and along an axial movement direction (L) as a reaction to an energization of the coil means (1), wherein the guide element (2) is a hollow cylinder that partially surrounds the anchor unit (3). The positioning device (10) has an ultra-wide-band sensor unit (4) which is preferably integrated in the guide element (3) and is designed for measuring the position and/or the displacement of the anchor unit (3) in the guide element (2).

Abstract: An electromagnetic positioning device includes an armature member for actuating a positioning partner and movable in an armature space relative to a stationary core (30). The armature member conducts magnetic flux upon energization of a stationary coil (32). The coil has a coil support with a winding and at least one external contactable connector (46) embedded at least in sections in the core and/or surrounded by the core. The core has an end surface (34), which is planar at least in sections, for interacting with the armature member. The core and the coil are embedded in and/or surrounded by a one-piece pot-like and/or cup-like housing (38) made of a material suitable for deep-drawing in such a manner that the core rests on a membrane-like, continuous and closed base section of the housing, the base section realizing a boundary surface of the armature space.

Abstract: A pack for notions and/or other relatively small commodities has a converted blank of cardboard or other degradable material and a light-transmitting plastic cover which is separably connected to a container of the converted blank. The converted blank further comprises a plate-like carrier having an opening so that it can be slipped onto a rail or an analogous support in a self-service store, in a workshop or at home. The plane of the carrier is located between the plane of a bottom wall of the container and the plane of a top wall of the cover. The sidewalls of the container forming part of the converted blank are removably confined between the lateral walls of the cover, and the top wall of the cover then overlies the open top of the container. The carrier can be separated from the container to reduce the space requirements of the remaining parts (container and cover) of the pack in a small area. The container can be withdrawn from and reinserted into the cover.
