  • Patent number: 5533763
    Abstract: An elbow for a suspension device supporting a control element or the like, the elbow comprising two support arm fastening walls oriented at an angle to each other, on which support arms, which are embodied as hollow profiled sections, can be fastened. The elbow allows the easy insertion of a cable or the like, even with support arms embodied as a closed hollow profile section, and has a high degree of torsional rigidity. The support arm fastening walls are connected to each other in one piece by lateral walls which terminate flush with the free ends of the support arm fastening walls and form an assembly chamber behind the support arm fastening walls which is accessible through an opening. The outsides of the support arm fastening walls facing away from each other form receptacles for installing the support arms, and cable feed-through elements are cut into the support arm fastening walls at least in the area of the receptacles.

  • Patent number: 5522118
    Abstract: A hinge comprising two hinge parts rotatably connected to each other by support walls, on each of which a support arm of a suspension device for a control device or the like is disposed. The hinge axis extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support arms. Simplified assembly of the hinge and the simple installation of cables or the like is achieved where the hinge parts, which respectively are at right angles to each other, have a support arm fastening wall and a support wall, both of which are provided with a cable passage. The support arm fastening wall and the support wall of one hinge part are connected to each other in one piece by lateral walls which terminate even with the free end of the support arm fastening wall and the free end of the support wall and form an assembly chamber behind the support arm fastening wall and the support wall which is accessible through an opening.

  • Patent number: 5460894
    Abstract: A support arm for a control device and the like, the hollow profiled walls of which enclose an installation conduit for receiving cables or the like. The support arm, having a simple geometry and great rigidity, comprises a plurality of screw channels which project inwardly and extend in a longitudinal direction of the profiled section and are formed in the installation conduit. The profiled section comprises two lateral walls which are positioned parallel to each other at a distance and are connected at their ends by semicircular connecting elements in the shape of an oval. The screw channels divide the installation conduit into chambers which are spatially connected to each other.
