An integrated latching mechanism includes a slider button extending along a first direction, curved elastic arms that extend from the slider button in a second direction and then curve back in an direction opposite thereto, a locking part contiguous with the slider button and extending away from the slider button and the elastic arms in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction. In response to ends of the elastic arms being held at fixed positions and an external force urging the slider button in a direction opposite to the third direction, the locking part moves in the same direction, and the urging of the slider button distorts the elastic arms such that upon removal of the external force, the elastic arms move the slider button and the locking part in the third direction. The elastic arms, slider button, and locking part form a single piece of elastic material.

There is provided a supporting member having excellent durability and an apparatus including the supporting member. The supporting member includes an elastic member and a plurality of block members formed thereon. The supporting member is deformable from a shape in which end surfaces of the block members are in contact with each other to a shape in which the end surfaces are separated from each other. The elastic member includes a fixed region whose deformation is restricted by being fixed to a bottom surface of the block member, and the supporting member includes a flexure reduction unit for reducing flexure at a position near the fixed region of the elastic member.

A guiding chain carrier system (1) is configured for an installation (2), for deploying and for storing without folding said guiding chain and flexible supply cables and/or pipelines. Said guiding chain carrier system comprises a mobile workstation (6) movable over a work surface (3) and connected to the said cables and/or pipelines, at least one guiding chain (20), connected to a static connection area (7) on one end and to the mobile workstation (6) on the other end thereof, for supporting said cables and/or pipelines; characterized by at least one compensation trolley (8), comprising a compensation system. Said compensation trolley (8) is movable and the compensation system is able to generate a resistance force in order to maintain the guiding chain (20) straight while the mobile workstation (6) moves from an operation location nearest the static connection area (7) until an operation location furthest from the static connection area (7).

Disclosed is a display device. The display device of the present disclosure includes: a rail which extends long; a moving wall which extends long in a direction intersecting the rail and has a display panel; and a rod which is positioned between the rail and the moving wall; wherein one end of the rod is coupled to the rail to be movable in a length direction of the rail, and the other end of the rod is fixed to the moving wall, wherein the moving wall is movable in the length direction of the rail.

This disclosure provides connectors for smart windows and doors. A smart window or door may incorporate an optically switchable pane. In one aspect, a smart window or door includes an insulated glass unit including an optically switchable pane. One aspect pertains to connectors such as, e.g., detachable power transfer connectors for movable doors or windows.

A protective cable conduit for lines in a clean room application, with a flexible encasement which is movable back and forth for routing a line. Each receptacle extends in channel-like fashion from a first end to a second end. The encasement comprises at least one encasing unit, which forms the at least one receptacle for a line. The encasing unit has a first fastening strip on one longitudinal side and a second fastening strip on the other longitudinal side. The first and the second fastening strip are designed for releasable connection by interlocking engagement and/or frictional engagement, for example with a cooperating hook profile and claw profile, and are connectable to one another in a connection direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. A plurality of encasing units can thus be fastened to one another releasably using mating fastening strips by connecting the fastening strips in a connection direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. An arrangement of a protective cable conduit with support chains, wherein each support chain is routed in an associated encasing unit which accommodates only the associated support chain(s), such that this is replaceable separately from lines routed in the encasement.

The present invention broadly relates to a tool storage unit with an integrated power strip. In some embodiments, the power strip is movable with a compartment of the tool storage unit. In other embodiments, the power strip is stationary. The compartment is adapted to provide access to the power strip when the compartment is open.

Monitoring systems for energy chains which guide lines, and which are displaceable along a displacement path and thereby form a movable strand, a stationary strand, and a deflection arc therebetween. According to a first aspect, one or multiple sensors are arranged stationary and form a detection path along the displacement path of the energy chain, in order to react to an approaching and/or contact of the energy chain. According to a second aspect, a plurality of sensor modules are distributed along the energy chain. In this case, each sensor module has a measurand detector and a communication unit for transmitting outputs to an evaluation unit. The first and the second aspect allow function monitoring, for example for the purpose of a safety shutdown. According to a third aspect, a sensor module is arranged on the driver-side end region. The module has a sensor for the quantitative detection of a kinematic parameter of the end region, as well as a communication unit for transmitting output data depending on detected kinematic parameters. This allows an application-dependent prediction of the remaining service life of energy chains.

The present disclosure relates to an electric vehicle rapid charger equipped with a sensor for controlling an automatic pull-out of a charging cable. The electric vehicle rapid charger according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a main body including a connector holder provided on one side of the main body and a cable connection part provided at a first predetermined height; a cable inlet/outlet part including a plurality of rotating rollers and fixedly coupled to the main body at a second predetermined height; a charging cable having a leading end portion in which a connector connected to a connection inlet of an electric vehicle is provided, a rear end portion fixedly coupled to the cable connection part, and an intermediate portion coupled to the cable inlet/outlet part to be inserted between the plurality of rotating rollers; and a control part configured to control a driving of the cable inlet/outlet part according to a charging request signal or a charging stop signal. The cable inlet/outlet part includes guide pins arranged on a front side or a rear side of the plurality of rotating rollers to guide the charging cable to move between the plurality of rotating rollers at a normal position, and is configured to continuously discharge or collect the charging cable by a driving of the plurality of rotating rollers.
