  • Patent number: 11565915
    Abstract: A compact wireless remote control for the wireless remote control of a machine is described, having an upper-face operating surface having a display device and at least one free space which is below the upper-face operating surface so as to be at least partly covered by same, is open towards the outside at least laterally on one side, and is delimited by wall portions of the wireless remote control. At least one operating element which can be actuated by an operator at least from the open lateral side of the free space is provided on at least one of said wall portions on the free space side. The free space is preferably formed continuously from one lateral side to the other lateral side and is open at both lateral sides. At least one operating element in each case can be manually accessed from each open lateral side for actuation.

  • Patent number: 9719885
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a test arrangement for the crash simulation of motor vehicles, said test arrangement having a first carriage, which is movable substantially horizontally along a longitudinal axis, and a second carriage, which is movable along the longitudinal axis together with the first carriage, wherein the second carriage is attached to the first carriage in such an articulated manner that the second carriage is movable with respect to the first carriage. In order to be able to simulate actual accident conditions better, in the test arrangement according to the invention, in addition to at least one first actuating element and at least one second actuating element, there is also provided at least one third actuating element, which is configured to accelerate the second carriage in a horizontal direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 8866597
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a radio remote control system of a machine that comprises at least one machine drive for a moveable machine part, which machine drive can be controlled by the radio remote control system, comprising a hand-held unit (10) comprising a control unit, a transmitter and at least one motion sensor, wherein the control unit is configured to communicate control commands issued by a user to a transmitter, and to cause the transmitter to transmit the control commands to the machine, in particular to an associated receiver, and wherein movements of the hand-held unit (10) in space about at least one tilt axis or pitch axis (KA, DA) can be detected by the motion sensor in such a way that in a motion control mode, the detected movements can be converted by the control unit into control commands, which can be communicated to the machine, wherein the motion control mode can be activated by a user input at the hand-held unit (10).
