  • Patent number: 6666325
    Abstract: A conveyor track (10) and a load-bearing profile (14) for a conveyor track (10) are proposed. The conveyor track (10) has two load-bearing profiles (14) extending substantially parallel. Each load-bearing profile (14) has one longitudinal side (26), to which a guide profile (16) can be fastened. The invention is characterized in that a rod (18) for supporting rollers (20) is fixable on the load-bearing profile (14) by the guide profile (16). As a result, the rollers (20) can be installed especially simply. If no rollers (20) are used, then workpieces or workpiece holders (12) can be slid along slide faces (66) of the guide profile (16).

  • Publication number: 20030010667
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for furnishing material (12) at work sites is proposed. The apparatus (10) has a material holder (12) and a removal place (16). The material holder (12) and the removal place (16) are divided into a plurality of segments (22, 24, 54, 56) for the separate storage and furnishing of different materials. A separating wall (34, 58) extends in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus (10) for this purpose. In this fashion it is possible to furnish different parts in particular that must be installed together anyway, such as screws and nuts, in one single apparatus (10), by way of which the furnishing expense is lowered.

  • Patent number: 6454487
    Abstract: A device for fastening elements to at least one first grating composed of wires, the device has at two essentially flat elements which are connectable to each other and clampable around the wires of the at least first grating, the elements having at least one side with side edges and ribs provided along the side edges of the at least one side of the elements and leaving corner regions of the side edges open, the ribs having sides, the sides of the ribs and the sides of the elements being placeable at least partially against the wires of the at least first grating, the at least one side of the at least one having a first raised area with a surface area that is smaller than a surface area of the at least one element, the first raised area being provided with a second raised area with a surface area that is smaller than the surface area of the first raised area, the second raised area having sides, the sides of the second raised area and the surface area of the first raised area being arranged to rest at least p

  • Patent number: 6398448
    Abstract: A mounting element (12, 12a, 12b) for securing components, in particular profile bars, and a cap (14, 14a, 14b) for covering the mounting element (12, 12a, 12b) are provided. Indentations (31, 39) are provided in lateral ribs (22, 36) of the mounting element (12, 12a, 12b) and/or of the cap (14, 14a, 14b). This makes the grip better and/or facilitates aligning the mounting element (12, 12a, 12b) and/or the cap (14, 14a, 14b).

  • Patent number: 6371272
    Abstract: A device (10, 10′, 50) for furnishing material (12) to work stations is proposed. The device (10, 10′, 50) has at least one reservoir, embodied as a chute (14, 14′, 54), for the material (12). A discharge point (16, 16′, 56) having a gripper tongue (18, 18′, 58) adjoins the chute (14, 14′, 54). The chute (14, 14′, 54) and the discharge point (16, 16′, 56) are embodied as parts separably connected to one another. The discharge point (16, 16′, 56) can be disposed on one of the two face ends (36, 40, 76, 110) of the at least one chute (14, 14′, 54). By means of this arrangement, it is possible with only a few different parts to achieve great versatility in terms of the storage volume of the device (10, 10′, 50).
