Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a plurality of molded components including (a) providing a carrier to a manufacturing assembly; (b) forming the molded components on the carrier, the molded components having a sacrificial portion secured to the carrier and being movable along the carrier, and a functional portion extending from the sacrificial portion, adjacent sacrificial portions are spaced from one another by a first distance; (c) winding the carrier in a forward direction onto the uptake device; and (d) unwinding the uptake device in a reverse direction such that the carrier and molded components move toward the source device, one of the molded components contacts the latch preventing the molded components from moving in the reverse direction such that adjacent sacrificial portions are moved closer together to a second distance that is less than the first distance.
Abstract:
Device for loading packages into a cargo hold (3) particularly of an aircraft, wherein loading is effected through a conveyor (4) including a plurality of transport paths (41-43). This conveyor is progressively loaded with packages and moved into the rear area of the cargo hold (3). In order to absorb the longitudinal peak forces possibly occurring particularly during loading and unloading, longitudinal beams (7 and 8) are provided which are mounted on the floor side and support the deflection means (6) against the fixedly mounted drive means (5). Hereby the occurring longitudinal forces may effectively be absorbed within the loading system without the aircraft fuselage (1) being weakened through additional holding means in particular in the side wall area, or even damage being caused to the hull of the aircraft.
Abstract:
A transport table (100), comprising a transport web (106); an unwinding roller (118) for unwinding the transport web (106) therefrom; a first return element (104a); a second return element (104b); a winding roller for winding thereon the unwound transport web (120); a first frame (102) with which the first and the second return element (104a 104b) are connected; and a second frame (116) with which the unwinding roller (118) and the winding roller (120) are rotatably connected, wherein the unwinding roller (118), the winding roller (120) and the return elements (104a, 104b) together are designed for stretching the transport web (106) such that between the first and the second return element (104a, 104b) a surface of the transport web (106) is available as transport surface (108), and wherein the second frame (116) is movable along a path substantially parallel to said transport surface (108) with respect to the first frame (102). The invention also discloses a method for the use of the transport table.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a conveying system which comprises at least one conveying unit (10) that is guided inside the guide channel and can be moved along it, and a drive unit (30) for driving at least one conveying unit (10). The conveying unit (10) comprises a series of several links which, when viewed in the axial direction, have a first articulated element (1) at their first end and a second articulated element at their second end, respectively. The first and second articulated elements (1) are formed in a mutually corresponding manner and, as a result, the conveying unit (10) is provided for transmitting thrust forces. The drive unit comprises at least one rolling body (35) consisting of a plurality of rollers (31), wherein said rollers (31) can be conveyed in a circular trajectory (34) by a roller drive (36), whereby the rollers (31) or the driving elements which are moved along by the rollers (31) engage at the links (5) of a conveying unit (10), thereby driving the conveying unit (10).
Abstract:
Es wird eine Transportvorrichtung vorgeschlagen, umfassend zumindest einen Mover (20), der zumindest einen Magneten (19), vorzugsweise Permanentmagnet, umfasst und der mit einer einer Antriebsfläche (13) zusammenwirkt, so dass der Mover (20) gegenüber der Antriebsfläche (13) in zumindest zwei Freiheitsgraden verschiebbar und/oder drehbar bewegt werden kann, wobei zumindest eine Schutzvorrichtung (40) vorgesehen ist, die zwischen Antriebsfläche (13) und Mover (20) angeordnet ist.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Bearbeitung von Wertdokumenten, wie z.B. Banknoten. Die Verwendung einer offenen Kette (16), die nicht in Form einer Endlosschleife geschlossen ist, ermöglicht eine sehr kompakte und platzsparende Möglichkeit beispielsweise zum Transport einer Stapelträgereinheit (8) zwischen zwei Positionen, bei der, im Unterschied zu einer Endloskette, keine zusätzliche separate Rückführung zwischen den zwei Positionen notwendig ist.
Abstract:
There is described a load handling device for moving a load across a floor of a vehicle loadbed. The apparatus comprises a track extending across the floor, and a follower movable by a drive means along the track. The follower includes means for releasably attaching the load thereto. The apparatus is particularly suited to the loading and unloading of wheeled stretchers into and out of ambulances.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to manufacturing of regenerative photovoltaic photoelectrochemical (RPEC) devices. The invention describes a method for manufacturing RPEC devices in a production line. The method comprises the steps of: dispensing a protective film in a substantially continuous sheet; attaching at least one substrate to the protective film in such a way that predetermined areas of the substrate are protected from being coated during at least one subsequent manufacturing process; using the protective films as a means to transport the substrate, along the production line through the at least one subsequent manufacturing process.
