  • Patent number: 10906741
    Abstract: A conveying device (1) has conveying carts (2) arranged one behind another and spaced apart by an interspace (4). One conveying cart (2) has a cover (6) and another has a cross-belt conveyor (8) for conveying material transverse to the conveying direction. The cover (6) covers the interspace (4) between the conveying carts (2) so that the cover (6) of the one conveying cart (2) is under the upper run (21) of the transverse belt (10) of the other conveying cart (2). When negotiating curves, the cover (6) engages between an underside (22) of the upper run (21) and a first support plane (20) to hinder the transverse belt (10) from moving in the transverse conveying direction. When travelling straight ahead the cover (6) engages between the first support plane (20) and a second support plane (24) to permit movement of the transverse belt (10) in the transverse conveying direction.

  • Patent number: 9321594
    Abstract: An actuating unit (50) for a sorting device (10), the actuating unit (50) comprising a flap holder (60) and at least one flap (80, 80?) having a drive component (81, 81?) for transmitting a drive force to a drive wheel (32) of a transport unit (18), the flap (80, 80?) being displaceably mounted in the flap holder (60) between a resting position and a drive position, a movement limiting component (82) being provided on the flap (80, 80?), said movement limiting component cooperating with a movement limiting element (63), such that the displacement movement of the flap (80, 80?) is limited in the direction of the resting position and/or in the direction of the drive position. Sorting device (10) having such an actuating unit (50) and method for mounting such an actuating unit (50).

  • Publication number: 20020189172
    Abstract: A system for adapting the height of a dividing wall between a space ceiling and a space floor, in which case the dividing wall is supported at the bottom and at the top in a non-tiltable manner, has a height adaptation component between the ceiling and/or the floor and the dividing wall, which height adaptation component comprises at least two profile parts which can be telescopically extended and which can be fixed with respect to one another in different telescoping positions.

  • Patent number: 6412224
    Abstract: The invention relates to a door drive system for a wing of a door, a window or similar, comprising a housing with a drive and/or return device, e.g. a closing spring (7), and a preferably hydraulic damping device. In practice, drive housings of this type are cast in aluminium. The production costs are relatively high since housing openings and boreholes such as hydraulic channels have to be cut into the housing (31) later on. According to the invention, the housing (31) is produced wholly or partly from plastic. This enables the cavities which are necessary for the housing to function, such as housing boreholes and/or openings to be made in the drive housing when it is produced, without removing material by cutting. According to another design, the drive housing has several housing parts which are produced separately. The adjacent sections of the housing parts are then stuck or welded together.

  • Patent number: 6363575
    Abstract: A door actuating system for the leaf of a fire door includes a safety fuse that detaches the fixture between the housing of the door actuating system and an arm on the door or the door frame, which then falls on the floor and are no longer in contact with the hot surface of the door. Plastic screws and plastic bushings accomodating metals screws or assembly plates made of plastic or similar materials can be used as the safety fuse.
