Abstract: A manipulator for components, in particular sheet metal parts, includes a base body mountable stationarily or movable along a guide arrangement, a first pivot arm pivotally coupled to the base body via a horizontal first pivot axis, a second pivot arm pivotally coupled to the first pivot arm via a horizontal second pivot axis and a third pivot arm pivotally coupled to the second pivot arm via a horizontal third pivot axis. A first axis of rotation extending radially to the third pivot axis is formed on the third pivot arm. A gripper support arm is rotatably coupled to the third pivot arm via the first axis of rotation and extends radially to the first axis of rotation. A gripping arrangement is rotatably coupled to the gripper support arm via a second axis of rotation spaced from the first axis of rotation. A bending installation includes the manipulator.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for writing a flip image structure on a base. Said apparatus comprises a laser light source that has a control device for specifically modifying an angle at which the laser light emerges from the laser light source, and a holder for the base. According to the invention, two deflection elements for the laser light are provided in the beam range of the laser light source. Said deflection elements are arranged such that laser light of the laser light source that is deflected, especially reflected by the deflection elements is incident on the flip image structure of the base accommodated on the holder at a different angle of incidence. The invention further relates to a method that can be carried out especially by means of a disclosed apparatus.

Abstract: A seat for use in a vehicle that is configured to be movable between a generally upright in-use position and a retracted cargo position includes a seat base, a seat part having a rear region and a front region, a first articulated arm having a first end coupled to the rear region of the seat part and an opposite second end coupled the seat base, the first articulated arm having a horizontal axes of rotation, and a backrest rotatably coupled to the first end of the first articulated arm and movable between the in-use position and the cargo position. The backrest is lowerable together with the seat part toward the seat base into the cargo position providing an increased freight space above the backrest.
