A connection system for connecting a first connection point with a second connection point, the second connection point being arranged for rotation and translation with respect to the first connection point, the connection system includes a first connection point, a first support surface moveable linearly with respect to the first connection point, a second support surface moveable linearly and rotationally with respect to the first connection point, and a second connection point moveable linearly and rotationally with respect to the first connection point, moveable rotationally with respect to the first support surface, and fixed with respect to the second support surface, and a reverse bend radius cable chain located on the first and second support surfaces, and having a first end connected with the first connection point via a first connector cable, and a second end connected with the second connection point via a second connector cable.

A coupling arrangement for two panels (12, 13) that are movable relative to one another may include comprises a first and a second guide track; (1, 2) and a first and a second guide pin (5, 6) for engaging in the guide tracks (1, 2). The first guide track describes a straight path having a starting point and an end point. (E1), and the The second guide track describes a first straight section which is arranged parallel to the first guide track, a circle section and a second straight section which extends parallel to the first guide track. In the case of a piece of furniture having a first panel and a second panel, the panels are coupled together with the aid of a coupling arrangement such that, from a starting position of the panels (12, 13), a guided translation (T1, T2) and a guided rotation of the panels (12, 13) with respect to one another can take place in succession.

A telescopic side arm for a refuse vehicle has an inner and outer boom. A mounting assembly secures the outer boom with a refuse vehicle. A plurality of bearing pads is positioned between the inner and outer booms to provide smooth movement between the inner and outer booms. A plurality of shims is associated with the bearing pads to assure a tight fit between the inner and outer booms.
