  • Patent number: 12128549
    Abstract: A handling device which is suitable for repositioning objects has an adhesive gripping device which includes a support structure on which at least one gripping unit is arranged. The gripping unit has an adhesive belt which extends between two holding regions and which, in a working region having a longitudinal portion functioning as a gripping portion, is wound around a release deflection element which is translationally movable relative to the support structure. The release deflection element is part of a release system, by means of which adherence of the object can be released again as required. This release system also has a release drive system, by means of which a rotational movement of the gripping portion around the release deflection element, which movement accompanies the release movement, can be caused, leading to the active removal of the adhesive belt from the gripped object.

  • Publication number: 20240227206
    Abstract: A manipulating device, by which flexible flat objects can be repositioned and which has a movable gripping device which includes a support structure and at least one gripping unit. The gripping unit has a clamping arm which, together with a clamping surface of the support structure, delimits a clamping gap, in which a flat object portion can be firmly clamped. By means of a transport structure of the clamping arm which is drivable for a circumferential transport movement, the flat object portion can be transported into the clamping gap for subsequent clamping.

  • Publication number: 20230212900
    Abstract: A furniture drive for moving a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass. The furniture drive includes a carrier to be fixed to the furniture carcass, an actuating arm pivotally supported relative to the carrier about a pivoting axis between a closed position and a maximum opening position, and an adjustment device configured to adjust a position of the maximum opening position of the at least one actuating arm. The adjustment device includes a pivoting member configured to be moved in at least two pivoting positions relative to the actuating arm, and the pivoting member is configured to distance the actuating arm in the at least two pivoting positions to a different extent from an abutment arranged on the carrier when the actuating arm is arranged in the maximum opening position.

  • Publication number: 20230135927
    Abstract: A torque and angle of rotation detection system is rotatable about an axis of rotation and includes a stator unit separated from a rotor unit by an air gap disposed radially with respect to the axis of rotation. The rotor unit includes strain gauges, dipole magnets and a secndary coil with ferrite elements. The stator unit includes a magnetic field sensor and a primary coil wherein a primary electrical voltage in the primary coil generates a secondary electrical voltage in the secondary coil.

  • Patent number: 11109923
    Abstract: A trocar holder for a manipulator of a robotic surgical system. The trocar holder includes a base element for securing the trocar holder to the manipulator and a clamp element which is replaceably connected to the base element via a coupling mechanism. Two limbs movable relative to each other in a clamp plane are formed on the clamp element. The limbs are connected via a spine and have free tips. The trocar holder also has a clamp mechanism for opening and closing the limbs and a receiving element for a trocar.

  • Patent number: 9694472
    Abstract: A tool holder, particularly a hand-held power tool holder, is provided for an oscillating and/or rotational drive of at least one insertion tool. The tool holder includes at least one holder-side fastening element that is provided at least substantially for a coupling with the at least one insertion tool. The tool holder also includes at least one bearing unit provided for movably mounting the at least one holder-side fastening element in a movement at least partially deviating from an axial direction. The movement at least partially deviating from the axial direction of the at least one fastening element is provided at least substantially for creating a fastening force in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 9056540
    Abstract: A drive device for a roof module of a motor vehicle. A drive device of this type, the roof module comprising two movable roof parts, with longitudinally extended tension/compression means for transmitting drive to the roof parts which are driveable by a common drive motor via two output pinions, is known. The output pinions are oriented coaxially with respect to each other, and the output pinions are assigned a change-over device which sets the drive motor into operative connection alternatively with the one or the other output pinion.
