  • Publication number: 20240208742
    Abstract: A sorting conveyor for transporting and sorting goods has a plurality of conveyor carriers which are moved on a conveyor track, are coupled to a conveyor carrier train or are moved individually and on which the goods can be transported in a resting manner, with a gap being formed between two directly successive conveyor carriers of the conveyor carrier train. A compensating element closes the gap between the two directly consecutive conveyor carriers, at least in certain areas with respect to the longitudinal direction of the gap and/or the transverse direction of the gap. The compensating element performs compensating movements between a rear edge zone of a rear edge of the front conveyor carrier in the direction of travel and an associated front edge zone of a front edge of the rear conveyor carrier in the direction of travel in the event of distance changes, to keep the gap closed.

  • Publication number: 20240074932
    Abstract: Disclosed is a buttock support for at least partial load-relief of the body weight of a person, the buttock support having two support regions adapted to receive at least part of a buttock region of the person. Also disclosed is a load-relief system having the aforementioned buttock support. The two support regions are separated from one another by a gap and are rounded. The gap separates the two support regions from one another centrally. The buttock support significantly simplifies the connection of a person to the aforementioned load-relief system to prepare for manual and/or automated physical therapy and also ensures that the thigh region, in particular the inner face of the thigh, and the groin region are accessible for further medical/therapeutic treatment by the medical staff.

  • Publication number: 20240058196
    Abstract: Disclosed is a foot support system for a foot module of a rehabilitation mechanism, the foot support system having an inner shell for receiving a person's foot, an outer shell for connection to a foot module of a rehabilitation mechanism, and at least one strap for fixing the foot to the foot support system. The inner shell, preferably on its side opposite a receiving region for the foot, has at least one connection for reversibly connecting the inner and outer shells, and wherein the outer shell, preferably at least on its side facing the inner shell when the inner shell and outer shell are connected, has at least one receiver corresponding to the at least one connection of the inner shell. By virtue of its modular set up, it permits simple, quick and comfortable connection to a foot module and advantageously protects and stabilizes the foot in particular during movement.

  • Publication number: 20220184458
    Abstract: The invention relates to an avalanche airbag (2), comprising a deployable outer bag (12), consisting of a flexible, gas-permeable material, and a deployable inner bag (13), consisting of a gas-tight elastic material and inflatable with gas, whereby the inner bag (13) is arranged inside the outer bag (12). The material of the inner bag (13) has an elasticity of at least 25%. The avalanche airbag (2) facilitates rapid deployment after activation over the entire temperature range as well as a small pack volume with a low total weight. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing an avalanche airbag (2) and an avalanche airbag system.
