It is often required in the medical industry to have devices, such as patient lifters, anchored to the ceiling. A system and method have been developed to resolve various challenges posed by installation of ceiling tracks intended to be used with patient lifters. The QTTB allows gaining in installation speed while increasing its inherent safety by the reduction of component hence the reduction of required human operations and verifications. The system comprises a bracket for supporting the track and a load, the bracket comprising a T-shaped member; and an attachment member affixed to the ceiling and adapted for receiving the bracket; the T-shaped member being adapted to rotate within the track from a first position to a second position, wherein, in the second position, the track is substantially unable to move along an axis of the attachment member. A tool may be used to rotate the bracket.

A conveyor system and a moving element therefor, wherein the moving element includes: a body; at least one canted bearing configured to abut against a first portion of a first guide rail of the conveyor system; and an articulation mechanism provided to the body that allows the canted bearing to rotate so that a line of contact of the canted bearing with the first guide rail remains at 90 degrees to a direction of travel of the canted bearing and parallel to an axis of rotation of the canted bearing. The articulation mechanism may include a bearing body and a third bearing, wherein the bearing body supports the canted bearing and rotates about an articulation axis, or may include a trunnion and a trunnion support with a virtual pivot at a center of contact of the canted bearing and the guide rail.

A connection adapter for a connection of profile segments of a rail profile in a conveying device for conveying hanging objects. The connection adapter has, on its inside, a running surface for the mounting of holding adapters mounted such as on rollers, where the running surface is disposed in an inclined manner with respect to a profile extension direction of the connection adapter in such a way that a cross-section of an inner space of the connection adapter, which is defined by the running surface, is larger at a first end face of the connection adapter than at a second end face of the connection adapter.

A connection device for suspending a monorail beam includes a top anchor integrated with or attachable to a roof bolt and a clamping device for connection to the monorail beam. The clamping device has a housing attachable to the monorail beam. The housing includes a central recess with an opening configured such that the top anchor is movable into and out of the central recess along a first axis through the opening. The clamping device has a plurality of locking members radially movable into and out of the central recess with respect to the first axis between an inner locking position in which the locking members prevent the top anchor from moving out of the central recess, and an outer open position in which the top anchor is free to move past the locking members, each respective locking member being provided in a respective radial guide recess of the housing.
