Abstract: The invention relates to a telescopic arm (1), in particular, for a current collector system for a vehicle which can be driven along a power rail arrangement, wherein the telescopic arm (1) can be extended and/or retracted by means of an adjustment drive (7, 8, 9, 10) and the telescopic arm (1) has a base unit (2) which can be attached to the vehicle, on which a first telescopic stage (3) is arranged displaceably in a direction (RT), in particular, horizontally, and a second telescopic stage (4) is arranged displaceably on the first telescopic stage (3) in the same direction (RT), wherein the adjustment drive (7, 8, 9, 10) is arranged on the first telescopic stage (3), characterized in that the adjustment drive (7, 8, 9, 10) interacts with a rigid chain (S), which is connected with its one end (Sa) to the base unit (2) and with its other end (Sb) to the second telescopic stage (4).

Abstract: An automatic rinsing machine includes a rinsing container with a lifting door and a rinsing chamber with a rinsing chamber opening closed in a fluid-tight manner by the lifting door. A drive device displaces the lifting door. The drive device includes a load-bearing tension unit. A lever arrangement is disposed between the load-bearing tension unit and the lifting door. The lever arrangement includes a clamping device that is guided in parallel with a direction of movement of the lifting door. The lifting door and the clamping device are supported under spring preload with respect to a common abutment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a current collector system for fastening to a vehicle, I particular a container stacker crane, wherein the vehicle can be moved along in a line (T), and at least one busbar (S) is arranged on the line (T), wherein the current collector system has a collector trolley (W) having at least one busbar (AB), and the at least one current collector (AB) can be brought in contact with a busbar (S), wherein the collector trolley (W) of the current collector system is mounted to be freely displaceable vertically, in particular by means of at least one guide (F).

Abstract: A sensor device and a method of making a sensor device. The sensor device includes a coil arrangement including a primary coil and a secondary coil. A conduit that is traversable by a flow in a figure-8 pattern is disposed as a yoke about the coil arrangement such that the coil arrangement is disposed in a vicinity of an intersection of the figure-8 pattern. The conduit includes at least two parts. A parting plane of the two parts is configured so as to enable the coil arrangement to be slip-fit mounted on the conduit before the two parts are joined together.

Abstract: A connector for connecting two conductor rail sections, the connector having an electrical conductor that is fastened at each end to the conductor rails. A central region of the conductor is fastened to a connection element. The connection element is slidingly connected to both of the two conductor rails. The electrical conductor has two flexible, undulating portions. These are located between the central region of the electrical conductor and each of its two, attached ends, and serve to compensate for the expansion and contraction of the two conductor rails with changes in temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connector for connecting two conductor rail sections (2a, 2b). Said connector comprises at least one electrical conductor (1), the ends (1a, 1b) thereof being respectively connected to a conductor rail section (2a, 2b) in a conductive and fixed manner, and a connection element (4) which interconnects the ends (2a′, 2b′) of the mutually facing conductor rail sections (2a, 2b). The connection element (4) is positioned in a displaceable or sliding manner in or on both ends (2a′, 2b′) of the mutually facing conductor rail sections (2a, 2b) and the electrical conductor (1) is fixed to the connection element (4).

Abstract: A device for handling disk-shaped objects in a handling plane of a local clean room has the object of ensuring process steps preceding or following the processing and inspection of the disk-shaped objects under the conditions of a local clean room with the use of SMIF boxes. The handling plane (H--H) is in a fixed constructional relationship with a reference plane (E--E) of at least one device comprising the magazine seat as a component part, which device serves to index the shelves of magazines and disk-shaped objects contained therein and is arranged above an intermediate base dividing the clean room into two partial spaces located one above the other, in which an air flow component of an air flow is directed from the partial space above the intermediate base into the partial space below the intermediate base. The device can be used in the manufacture of integrated circuits, particularly for handling tasks.

Abstract: A device for preventing shearing or pinching of a foreign object is suitable for use in SMIF (Standard Mechanical Interface) systems. A barrier which is constructed as a solid body is fastened at and displaceable relative to one of two parts which can move past one another. The barrier is fastened to this part at a distance above electric contact elements in three-point formation, which distance is greater than the maximum braking distance required for stopping movement. The barrier is substantially adapted in shape and position at its shearing line to the part moving past it, wherein contact is broken in at least one contact element and accordingly in an otherwise closed circuit when the barrier is displaced relative to the part. Such devices serve to prevent injuries and damage in the operation of systems in which two parts move past one another at a slight distance.
