Abstract: A device is described for indicating the locking state of a fifth wheel coupling and an arrangement of a first and a second sensor. According to the prior art, the first sensor is arranged on the underside of the locking latch and monitors the position of the kingpin in relation to the locking latch. A second sensor that is used is an inductive proximity switch that monitors a safety mechanism against loosening. In practice, this type of positioning of the first sensor has led to damage of the locking latch and the first sensor, while the signals of the second sensor were often false signals. Thus, the object of the invention is to provide a device for indicating the locking state, which maximizes operational availability and minimizes false signals. A further object of the invention is to optimize the arrangement of the first and the second sensor.

Abstract: An arrangement of a motor on twin landing gears is described. The landing gears are interconnected via a connecting shaft and can be telescoped by starting up the motor. To minimize damage to the motor and at the same time to ensure cost-effective production, it is provided that the motor with its driveshaft engages with the connecting shaft and is supported on a component that is fixed relative to the motor.

Abstract: A line magazine for a supply line on a semimounted trailer with a king pin and a wedge connector pivoted on the king pin is described. The underlying problem of the invention was to provide a line magazine which prevents the supply line from hanging down in a mechanically simple way, while on the other hand it provides a constant pretensioning of the supply line. The problem is solved according to the invention with a line magazine that comprises a housing and a drum disk mounted in the housing and able to rotate, while the drum disk is preloaded by a spring element and the supply line engages by its front segment of line with the wedge connector and is led out from the housing by its rear segment of line in fixed manner.

Abstract: A louver vehicle roof has several sliding and tilting louvers (1 to 4) provided for optional closure or at least partial exposure of a roof opening (6). The louvers lie next to each other in the closed position and form a flat assembly. The louvers are supported and interlinked kinematically so that on exposure and closure of the roof opening (6) louver after louver is moved. The louvers (1 to 4) are linked with few, simple components identical from one louver to the next. Louver guide blocks (15) are temporarily coupled together during the closing process by stop/stop surface pairs (29). During an opening process louver after louver is moved progressively and tilted up, where the louvers not yet in movement are held stationary by locking projections/locking elements (31, 32).

Abstract: An arrangement of a motor (1) on twin landing gears (2a, 2b) is described. The landing gears (2a, 2b) are interconnected via a connecting shaft and can be telescoped by starting up the motor (1). To minimize damage to the motor and at the same time to ensure cost-effective production, it is provided that the motor (1) with its driveshaft (5) engages with the connecting shaft (4) and is supported on a component that is fixed relative to the motor (1).
