The invention relates to a loading arrangement for ships including a plurality of bales, in particular packaged garbage round bales that are stacked in a hull and that can be loaded and/or unloaded by a crane and/or a transfer device, preferably with gripper tongs for gripping two bales at once in each case. For the gentle unloading and secure gripping of the bales, according to the invention the bales are stacked in multiple transverse rows (), in particular dual rows, between which in each case a bale stack () is arranged that is oriented in a right angled horizontally twisted manner.

Loading arrangement for ships

The invention relates to a round-bale press for compressing refuse into round bales and to such a method. The round-bale press according to the invention enables refuse to be compacted within a compressing chamber ( ). For this purpose, an endless belt ( ), which together with two side walls ( ) defines a compressing chamber ( ), is driven. A pivotably supported endless belt segment ( ) can be moved out of a refuse compressing position into a discharge position in such a way that the compressed round bale can be discharged from the compressing chamber ( ) via this endless belt segment ( ).

Round-bale press and a method of compressing refuse

The invention is directed to an ignition circuit for an internal combustion engine in a portable handheld work apparatus wherein a work tool is driven via a clutch. The ignition circuit includes an ignition time point control which connects a spark plug via a switch to a voltage source in order to trigger an ignition spark. The spark plug is mounted in the combustion chamber of the engine. This connection takes place in dependence upon the crankshaft angle and the rpm of the engine. In order to prevent damage to the clutch because of a blocked work tool, a test value counter driven via a rpm gate circuit is provided. The test value counter increments its value in the pregiven rpm window of the gate circuit with each rotation of the crankshaft and the content of the test value counter is compared to a pregiven limit value by a comparator. The output of the comparator activates a rpm-reducing protective circuit and the output of the comparator indicates reaching or exceeding the limit value.

Ignition circuit for an internal combustion engine

The invention is directed to a circuit for providing a controlled voltage supply to a microprocessor in an ignition circuit of an internal combustion engine equipped with a spark plug. The circuit includes: a generator having an induction coil and magnetic device for generating an alternating voltage in the coil; a microprocessor for controlling the spark plug; the microprocessor having first and second connecting terminals and a capacitor connected across the terminals; a thyristor having a gate electrode is connected between the induction coil and the capacitor; and, a voltage limiter is connected to the gate electrode, The controlled voltage supply for the thyristor is ensured over the entire rpm range of the engine without noticeable energy losses.

Circuit for supplying voltage to a microprocessor in an ignition circuit

The invention is directed to an arrangement for assisting an operator to adjust a carburetor. The arrangement has a display for the setting of the carburetor of an internal combustion engine such as a two-stroke engine. An actual signal proportional to the carburetor setting is compared to desired limit values by means of a comparator and the display is switched in dependence upon the comparison result by a control unit into different operating states. The display assumes a first operating state below a minimum desired limit value and, between the minimum and maximum desired values, the display is switched into a second operating state. The arrangement for carburetor adjustment makes it possible for the operator to recognize whether the actual signal is above or below the window determined by the desired limit values. This is achieved in that, above the maximum desired limit value, the display is switched into a third operating state, for example, by driving the display intermittently.
