Patent number: 10526183Abstract: A holding device for holding a container, for example for holding a container in a transport device of a beverage filling plant is described. The holding device includes a fastening part and two gripping arms, which are pivotably connected to the fastening part and can be brought into a closed position in order to hold the container and can be brought into an open position in order to insert and remove the container. A preloaded elastic bow is disposed between the gripping arms, and the elastic bow can be brought into a first position, in which the gripping arms are in the open position, and into a second position, in which the gripping arms are in the closed position. The preload of the elastic bow in the first position holds the gripping arms in the open position and the preload of the elastic bow in the second position holds the gripping arms in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: KRONES AGInventors: Bruno Landler, Matthias Kraus

Patent number: 10465847Abstract: A safety device with a safety switch and an actuator that is arranged movably relative to said safety switch. A transponder is arranged in the actuator, and a reading unit is arranged in the safety switch. A locking position of the actuator is controlled by the fact that transponder signals of the transponder are detected in the reading unit. The safety switch has a locking element with an influencing element. The actuator has a sensor coupled with the transponder. In the locking position of the actuator the locking element is insertable into a receptacle of the actuator. This effects the locking of the actuator. This locking is controlled in that the influencing element is only within the range of influence of the sensor when the locking element is inserted into the receptacle. Said sensor generates a sensor signal via which the transponder signals sent by the transponder are modified.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Euchner GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Joachim Mailänder, Sören Albrecht, Matthias Kraus, Ilo Grimm

Patent number: 9746673Abstract: A projection display includes an imager for displaying sub-images in a two-dimensional distribution of sub-areas of the imager and a projection optics array with a two-dimensional distribution of projection optics. The projection optics array is configured to superimpose projections of the sub-images to an overall image in an image plane such that a mutual area overlap of the projections of the sub-images in the image plane in pairs results, which is between 0.1 and 0.8 for all pairs. Here, the projection display is implemented such that the overall image is a virtual overall image.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Peter Schreiber, Marcel Sieler, Matthias Kraus
