Abstract:
A load isolating device may be defined by a plate-style bracket having a planar body and a plurality of tabs arranged about the body. Each tab may define a peripheral extremity of the body, extending outwardly thereof and situated substantially within the same plane as the body. Each tab may have a particular width, and may include a neck defined by a fillet having a predetermined radius, both tab width and fillet radius being sized and configured to absorb load forces through elastic deformation. As such, the tabs may elastically deform under load to minimize any deformation of the planar body of the device, which in the disclosed embodiment may be formed of an elastic metal plate. Each tab may have the same thickness as the planar body, and both the tabs and the planar body of the device may comprise the same material.
Abstract:
A guard for a sensor apparatus in a tilting arrangement. The guard includes a first tubular portion supported on the tilting arrangement, a longitudinal portion extending from the first tubular portion, and a second tubular portion extending from the longitudinal portion. The first tubular portion provides a first cavity adapted to partially enclose a first mounting stud of the sensor apparatus. Similarly, the second tubular portion provides a second cavity adapted to partially enclose a second mounting stud of the sensor apparatus. And, the longitudinal portion provides a recess adapted to partially enclose a lever member of the sensor apparatus.
Abstract:
A monitoring device for detecting a value indicative of the actuation stroke and/or release stroke of a thrust element of a brake actuating mechanism, the thrust element being actuated by a lever of the brake actuating mechanism, including a sensor for sensing variations in a physical property of at least one part of the brake actuating mechanism, whereby the sensor and the part of the brake actuating mechanism are arranged so that by the relative movement between the part of the brake actuating mechanism and the sensor repeated variations in the physical property along a path of the relative movement are created and sensed. The path is formed between the lever and a stationary part being adjacent to the lever. The invention is directed both to drum brakes and to disc brakes.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a device (1) for protecting a breather membrane (2) enabling the ventilation of a member, notably a gear motor of a wiper system, said device including a support (3) intended to accommodate said membrane (2) on the surface of said member and a cover (4) for protecting said membrane (2), said device (1) being configured to allow circulation of air between the interior and the exterior of the member via said membrane (2).According to the invention, said cover (4), moulded in one piece with said support (3), is articulated relative to said support (3) so as to enable fixing of said membrane (2) onto said support (3) in an open position of said cover (4) and to cover said membrane (2) in a closed position of said cover (4).
Abstract:
An arrangement for covering a machine having a machine frame, includes a covering device adapted to be attached to the machine frame above the machine. The covering device has opposite sides corresponding to opposite sides of the machine frame. Hinges are respectively connected at the opposite sides of the covering device about which the covering device can be selectively swiveled to an open or a closed position relative to the machine. Each one of the respectively arranged hinges at opposite sides of the covering device is selectively coupled to the machine frame and has a parallel-extending swiveling axis. Respectively the non-selected hinge that does not form the swiveling axis for opening the covering device is arranged to be detachable from the machine frame.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a protective cover comprising at least two protective-cover elements arranged one after the other in the direction of movement of the protective cover, each comprising at least one frame element (22, 22′) which is provided with at least two frame sections (23, 24) which are offset with respect to one another, wherein at least one lamella element (1, 20) is arranged on each frame section in such a manner that the lamella elements slidingly overlap frame elements (22′) arranged directly one after the other in a telescopic manner to form a substantially closed cover and wherein each frame section of each frame element is provided with a separate lamella element, whereas respectively one first lamella element (1) on a first frame section (23) comprises a tab (5) which overlaps the offset region to the second frame section (24) of the same frame element (22), wherein the tab grips behind a second lamella element (20) on the second frame section in such a manner that the tab of the first lamella element can be moved relative to the second lamella element during the movement of the protective cover.

Abstract:
A machine tool is provided. The machine tool can comprise a machine frame, at least one tool holder device which is held for movement on the machine frame, a work space in which workpieces are machinable, a work space cladding, at least one workpiece carriage which is displaceable on a path guiding device relative to the machine frame, the path guiding device being arranged alongside the work space, and at least one sliding door for access to the work space. The sliding door particularly can be arranged on the path guiding device of the at least one workpiece carriage.
Abstract:
An operator station is positioned on the outside of a machine tool on the same side of the machine as the tool magazine and the automatic tool changer, to improve the ergonomics of the machine by keeping the tool loading access as close as possible to the operator. This location also allows easy visual access to the tools in the magazine and in the ready position in the tool changer. An angled “tunnel” window passing across the front of the tool magazine and the Y-axis column allows direct visual observation of the working zone of the machine tool from the operator station. A door on the side of the machine allows access from the operator station to a utilities panel located just inside of the door permitting ready operator access to switches, valves, fill points, filters and gages that are located on the panel.
Abstract:
A gearbox housing assembly includes a first plate constructed of a rigid material and defining a first plane. A second plate of the gearbox housing assembly defines a second plane parallel to and spaced from the first plane. The second plate is constructed of a rigid material. A plurality of connectors couples the first plate and the second plate, with an interior space being defined between the first plate and the second plate. A mounting member is coupled to the second plate and has a mounting portion extending away from the interior space. The mounting member is distinct from the second plate to facilitate interchangeability of the mounting member.
