  • Publication number: 20230044843
    Abstract: A modular switch device temporarily stores workpiece carriers for a linear conveyor system. The modular switch device is arrangeable between a changeover region, comprising a depositing and/or removal region, and a processing region of the linear conveyor system that conveys workpiece carriers at a conveyance level. The modular switch device includes a first and second horizontally arranged carrier unit. The carrier units are disposed vertically one above the other at a fixed distance. Each carrier unit has a respective guide apparatus, by which respective ones of the workpiece carriers are conveyable in a conveyance direction in interaction with a conveyor belt. The carrier units are movable together in a vertical direction by a lifting device in such a way that both guide apparatuses are positionable such that the respective workpiece carriers are conveyable at the conveyance level by the respective guide apparatuses.

  • Patent number: 10697691
    Abstract: The invention relates to a domestic appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, comprising a compressor having compressor feet, which is supported on a support rail by way of elastic damping bodies that are arranged in openings of the compressor feet, and which is held thereto by way of the damping bodies by bottom-penetrating retaining tabs having securing portions engaging the damping bodies from behind. In order to allow a simple and economical installation of the compressor, which nonetheless results in a permanently secure retention of the compressor, end portions of the retaining tabs extending beyond the damping bodies, according to the invention, have insertion means, which are designed in such a way that the compressor is mounted, or can be mounted, without a plastic deformation of the retaining tabs.

  • Patent number: 8628354
    Abstract: An adapter element for serial data transfer in a vehicle, the adapter element including a first housing part, which is designed electrically conductively and is connectable to a shield and a second housing part, which is designed electrically conductively and includes a contact element. The first housing part and the second housing part are disposed such that the second housing part is enclosed by the first housing part in a first region that extends along a longitudinal axis of the adapter element. The contact element is in electrical contact in the first region with the first housing part, and the contact element produces the electrical contact at least in part by the adapter element being configured such that accessibility to the contact element from a position exterior to the adapter element in a direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis is ensured.
