With a total of three patents to his name, Will's innovations reflect his commitment to enhancing safety and functionality in industrial applications.

Latest Patents

One of Harald Will's latest patents is a restraint system designed for drivers of forklift trucks. This system features a protective grate that is pivotable around an axis of rotation located near the rear end of the driver's seat. The grate can transition from a closed position, which is parallel to the driver's seat, to an open position, allowing for easy access. This protective grate can also be retrofitted onto existing forklift trucks, making it a versatile solution for enhancing driver safety.

Another notable patent is a control lever for vehicles or machine tools, specifically for industrial trucks. This control lever generates an electrical control signal and has a limited actuation travel defined by a stop point. The stop includes an elastic component that allows for slight deflection beyond the stop point, increasing the restoration force as the deflection occurs. This design ensures that when a safety-critical deflection is reached, an electrical sensor generates a signal to actuate a safety function, thereby enhancing operational safety.
