Abstract: A carrier (1) for transporting objects, having a carrying limb (2) and a load handling limb (3), wherein at least one rotatably mounted load support is arranged in the region of a free end (7) of the load handling limb (3), wherein the load support includes a pivotably mounted segment (4) which lies on the free end (7) of the load handling limb (3) and, together therewith, forms a load-carrying bearing and at least one inner surface of the load handling limb (3) forms a bearing shell (5) on the free end (7) and supports the pivotably mounted segment (4).

Abstract: A carrying means (1) for transporting objects, having a carrying limb (2) and a load handling limb (3), wherein at least one rotatably mounted load support is arranged in the region of a free end (7) of the load handling limb (3), wherein the load support is a radial segment (4) which lies on the free end (7) of the load handling limb (3) and, together therewith, forms a load-carrying bearing and at least one inner surface of the load handling limb (3) forms a bearing shell (5) on the free end (7) and corresponds to the radial segment (4).

Abstract: A sliding cam system for a variable valve train. The sliding cam system includes a camshaft, a cam carrier, a cam follower, and a first actuator. A first cam of the cam carrier and a second cam of the cam carrier are arranged offset with respect to one another along a longitudinal axis of the camshaft. The first cam comprises a base circle region and a valve lift region with a limiting section which adjoins the base circle region of the first cam. The second cam has a base circle region and a valve lift region with a limiting section which adjoins the base circle region of the second cam. The limiting section of the first cam and the limiting section of the second cam are of identical configuration and are arranged at an identical circumferential position about the longitudinal axis of the camshaft.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fastening arrangement for a hook for the transport of an object. The arrangement comprises at least one hook mouth and at least one rotatably mounted load support. The load support is a radial segment which rests on the hook in the hook mouth and together therewith forms a load-supporting bearing, at least one inner face of the hook in the hook mouth forming a bearing shell and corresponding to the radial segment. The hook bears against a flange of an object, and at least one stop element is provided, which is arranged in a region of the flange of the object opposite the hook. Also disclosed is a hook for use in the arrangement.
