Abstract: A protective device for a measuring apparatus which can be arranged on a tripod includes a housing having a threaded hole and a threaded pin, where the threaded hole is disposed in a housing lower side of the housing and the threaded pin is disposed in a housing upper side of the housing. The protective device further includes an airbag and a filling device having at least one gas-filled gas container, a control device, and an energy source. A connecting line connects the airbag and the filling device for gas exchange. The airbag surrounds a cylindrical interior space in an inflated state.

Abstract: A device for fixing an optical device is disclosed. The device has a housing, an actuating device having an adjustable actuating element, an expansion sleeve having a plurality of expansion segments, which can be displaced in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the expansion sleeve between a closed state and an expanded state, and a first adjusting device, which converts a movement of the actuating device into a radial movement of the expansion segments in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the expansion sleeve. The expansion segments can be inserted into the receiving opening of the optical device in the closed state of the expansion sleeve and, in the expanded state, form a force-fitting or form-fitting connection with the receiving opening of the optical device.

Abstract: A sensor housing (1) includes a basic body (2) and two tube sections (4, 9) projecting from the basic body (2). At least a first one (4; 9) of the tube sections has an outside thread which is interrupted in circumferential direction by at least one recessed facet (15, 17; 19, 20). The facet (15, 17; 19, 20) extends—from a center plane of the first tube section (4; 9) being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second tube section (9; 4)—on at least one side of this center plane essentially perpendicularly to it.

Abstract: An actuating device (1), generating an electrical switching signal, comprising a housing (2) and a cover (4) which is held in a groove (8) worked into the housing, and a switching contact (6) attached in the interior (21) of the housing (2), the switching contact (6) is moved from an initial position (a) to a switching position (b) by closure of the cover (4) either directly or by intermediate elements (19) attached to the cover (4), a reliable and positionally accurate closure of the cover (4) in order to generate a switching contact, even if the cover (4) has an off-center actuation force applied to it is achieved because at least one abutment (11) is attached facing the cover (4) on the base (23) of the housing, and has a support surface (17) corresponding to the movement of the cover (4) mounted in the groove (8), and at least one bearing element (12) is attached to the cover (4) which, when the cover (4) is in its assembled status, makes contact with the support surface (17) of the abutment (11) and is t

Abstract: A switch (1) for converting mechanically generated movements into electrical switching signals, consisting of a cover (2) and a carrier plate (3) at a distance from one another and fixedly connected together, a switching element (4) that can be moved to a limited extent relative to the cover (2) and be actuated by one or more pushbuttons (5) facing the carrier plate (3), by means of which the particular adjustment movements of the switching element (4) can be measured and are converted into switching signals, the movement direction of the switching element (4) should be being perceived as the movement direction of an object, in particular a vehicle seat, and the switch (1) can be operated in at least six different movement directions.

Abstract: In an actuating device (1) for generating an electrical switching signal, with a housing (2) on which a cover (4) accessible from the outside is attached, which is held in a groove (8) worked into the housing, and with a switching contact (6) attached in the interior (21) of the housing (2) in which case the switching contact (6) is moved from an initial position (a) to a switching position (b) by the closure of the cover (4) either directly or by means of intermediate elements (19) attached to the cover (4), a reliable and positionally accurate closure of the cover (4) should be guaranteed at all times in order to generate a switching contact, even if the cover (4) has an off-centre actuation force applied to it.
