  • Patent number: 11512502
    Abstract: An attachment device (1) for an apparatus (10), which apparatus (10) comprises a fixed cable (2) with a connector (12) at its free end. The attachment device (1) comprises a first plate member (3) and a second plate member (4), which by means of a hinge member (7) are rotatably connected to each other about a hinge axis (5). Hereby, they can rotate between a closed position, in which the plate members (3, 4) lie against each other, and in which the attachment device (1) defines a through-going opening (6) for the cable (2), and an open position, in which the cable (2) can be removed from the attachment device (1). The first plate member (3) comprises a first locking slot (83) and the second plate member (4) comprises a second locking slot (84).

  • Publication number: 20040002899
    Abstract: The invention comprises a system for handling forms for transferring . The system comprises a number of local workstations where at least one local workstation is connectable through a datatransmission line to a central data processing unit. The forms for transmitting information reside both at the central unit and at the local workstations. Activation of a data transmission line from a local workstation activates means for checking whether the latest version of the form is residing at the local workstation, and if this is not the case, the latest version of the form is transferred to the local workstation for future use.
