  • Patent number: 11670916
    Abstract: A support rail and housing assembly is mountable on a housing base. The housings are equipped with electrical contact and/or functional elements which can be strung together. The support rail is mountable on the mounting base even when the housings have already been arranged on the support rail before the support rail is mounted. The support rail is secured to the mounting base by two or more mounting pins which have been placed before the support rail is mounted to the mounting base. The mounting pins and the support rail are designed to correspond to each other such that the support rail can be placed on the mounting pins and locked thereto without using a tool.

  • Patent number: 10784624
    Abstract: Disclosed is a protective separator for a rectangle plug connection, which is appropriate for cost-effective and uncomplex retrofitting to existing rectangle plug connections, and permits the deliberate and reversible separation of the plug connection in response to increased mechanical loading, in order to prevent mechanical damage and, optionally, to permit the most rapid resumption of operation possible. This disclosure includes a protective separator for a rectangle plug connection, having a bulkhead mounted housing having a first region and a second region, wherein the first region is directly attachable to a surface and/or to a surface mounted housing, and wherein the second region can be locked onto a mating plug housing, wherein the first region and the second region can be mutually separated in a reversible manner by the action of a predefined tensile force.

  • Patent number: 5782066
    Abstract: An apparatus for loading an article into a bag. The apparatus comprises a loading station which is positioned adjacent a conveyor carrying the articles to be filled in the bags. The loading station comprises a bag delivery plate, a bag bottom opening plate, a bag opening plate and a pusher arm. The bags are folded flat and stored in a hopper. The bag delivery plate retrieves a bag from the hopper and holds the bag in the loading station. The bag bottom opening plate engages the bottom panel of the bag, while the bag opening plate engages a facing panel of the bag. The bag is opened by actuating the bottom and opening plates. When the bag is open, the pusher arm pushes the article from the conveyor into the opened bag. The filled bag is then moved to another conveyor for packing.
