  • Patent number: 11142161
    Abstract: The invention relates to a belt deflector with a main element (100) that can be attached to the structure of a vehicle, and with a belt support element (200) that is movable relative to the main element (100) and forms a support surface (231) or support edge for a safety belt (20) to be deflected. According to the invention, the belt deflector comprises an intermediate element (300, 400) that is deformed when the movable belt support element (200) is moved relative to the main element (100), in the direction of the intermediate element (300, 400), and because of this deformation is pressed against the safety belt (20).

  • Patent number: 9126771
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for transferring cutouts (6), for manufacturing packaging boxes having polygonal cross-sections, from a magazine (3) from a vertical stack, consisting of at least one stack (4, 5) of cutouts made of a cardboard or corrugated cardboard sheet material comprising notches. The method and device of the invention involve locating the top cutout of the stack using a camera (10), preliminarily detaching the cutout from the remainder of the stack, gripping, by means of suction, the thus-located top cutout, moving said cutout by means of a robotic arm (17) and releasing same to a next station, for or prior to subsequent shaping, and repeating the above cycle of steps with the next top cutout.
