Abstract: A linear-motor driven, rail-mounted transport system for containers and interchangeable bodies includes a network of at least two pairs of parallel disposed rails arranged at an angle with respect to each other and having a continuous flat travel surface. The pairs of rails form intersections. Outside of the intersections, guide profiles are arranged in the middle on one rail in each pair. A two-part transporter trolley has wheels that can swivel around a pivot and horizontal guide rollers. A spacing of the wheels corresponds to the spacing of the rails for the lengthwise and crosswise travel and the wheels with the guide rollers can turn in the intersection. Magnets arranged on the transporter trolley in the lengthwise and crosswise directions move the transporter trolley in the lengthwise and crosswise directions by interacting with stators of the network and a limiting element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile multifunctional platform for the transport and contact-free load inspection of containers, preferably of containers that are loaded using container bridges, having a crane device for changing the position of containers (6), platform (7, 35) for containers (6), transillumination device (12, 14, 15), shielding (16, 33), and displacement possibility (9) on the mobile platform (7, 35). The invention can be used anywhere where it is necessary to perform contact-free load inspection of containers (6), and container bridges (3) cannot be retrofitted with transillumination devices (Figure).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for automatically mounting or removing twistlocks in the corners of containers in order to interconnect containers in such a way as to increase stability during transport. Said device consists of container part, (17, 18, 19, 20) comprising handling openings (26) into which die twistlocks (10) project once the container (6) has been set down, the distance between said openings being adjustable, twistlock grippers (34) which are arranged inside the container (17, 18, 19, 10) and are used to remove or to mount the twistlock (20), and storage possibilities for twistlocks (10).

Abstract: A straddle loader for lifting a load includes an upper frame having a spreader for grasping the load, a compartment for an operator, at least two traveling frames for receiving the load, and a lifting system connected to the upper frame and the plural traveling frames. The lifting system varies the distance between the upper frame and the plural traveling frames by uniformly transferring the load to the traveling frames so that the upper frame and the traveling frames remain parallel and perpendicular. The straddle loader further includes a plurality of telescoping beams associated with the lifting system so that at least two telescoping beams are connected to each of the traveling frames. Each telescoping beam is capable of extension and retraction. Stationary pivot shafts connect each end of each of the telescoping beams to the respective upper frame or traveling frame and to a pressure cylinder associated with each of the telescoping beams.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transporter container-loading bridge comprising a two-armed traveling support, a lifting gear, a traveling mechanism and at least one portal, characterized in that at least two trolleys travel on individual tracks of the traveling support on the transporter container-loading bridge with their paths crossing. According to the invention, the running track of one trolley is located above and inside the track of the other trolley, wherein both trolleys travel along both sides of their running tracks. The invention provides the advantage that several trolleys can travel independently from each other without having to transfer, rotate or surrender their load.

Abstract: A container-transporting system with tracks, linear motors and rotatable wheels. The system includes a network of tracks which are arranged transversely at right angles with respect to one another and parallel to one another and form points of intersection. Guide rails are arranged in the tracks outside the points of intersection and have track-bound transporting carriages moving on them by way of running wheels which can be turned about a pivot spindle. The distances between the running wheels correspond to the distances between the tracks. The running wheels, which are enclosed by horizontal guide rollers, can be rotated in the points of intersection. Magnets are arranged on the transporting carriage in the longitudinal and transverse directions and, by way of stators of the track, move the transporting carriage in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Pivoting slides, which are arranged on the transporting carriage, turn the running rollers.

Abstract: A manipulator for a nuclear reactor is disposed about the upper region of the reactor case. A horizontal guide rail is supported by a slewing track ring mounted on the reactor vessel. A slide is movable along and guided by the horizontal guide rail and a rotatably and vertically movable gripper is attached to the slide where the parts surrounding the gripper are provided with a vertical slot. The gripper can comprise a rotatable post tiltable around a horizontal axis, a vertical slide disposed on the post and vertically movable and a material pick-up device attched to the vertical slide. The vertical slide and the materials pick-up can be moved from below to above the level of the guide rail and vice versa.

Abstract: A device for manufacturing containers for storing nuclear materials. The purpose of the device is to maintain angular sheet metals in the precise position required during the welding operation which is performed along the outer edges of their flange portions. The device includes a core, a thrust bearing and a counter-pressure bearing. The core is sub-divided into two separate core portions. Spring means tend to draw the core portions toward each other. Fluid operated cylinder-piston units tend to separate the core portions against the action of said spring means. Adjustment screw means provided with abutment means and screwed into one of said core portions project into the other of said core portions with the abutment means thereof. The second core portion has abutment means cooperating with the abutment means on said adjustment screw means.
