shutter / pivoted clamp Explanation: "Check whether the shutter is closed according to specifications and also check the pivoted clamp (the machine might fall over someone passing by)". I have no idea why there is a 'Himmel' in that word but 'klappen' means to shut. There google hit for 'Klapphimmel'. The link below: pivoted clamps for computer hardware. 'Schwenkbefestigung' is a generic enough term. 'Schwenken' means to pivot, rotate, swivel, slew. I chose 'pivoted clamp' since this seems to occur most frequently from google searches (20 hits) among fastening, attachment, fastener, mount. Reference: http://www.westbond.com/4500espc.htm |

folding canopy; hinged/pivoting mount/support Explanation: folding canopy; hinged/pivoting mount/support Google: Your search - Klapphimmel Klapphimmels - did not match any documents. No pages were found containing "klapphimmel". Himmel: [fest angebrachte] z.T. hinten und an den Seiten heruntergezogene Ueberdachungaus Stoff, Leder etc. (Baldachin) *) (Duden: Deutsches Universalwoerterbuch, ISBN3 411 05503 0) [*) but may be designed and look quite different in your context.] HTH Tom see above |
