Electronic-powered hand towel holder has clamps fixed to rail to grasp and hold towels when sensor is activated

摘要

The holder consists of separate U-profiles made of metal, wood or plastic. The U-shape or clamp (2) is fixed to a rail (3) and used to hold the object to be taken. The holder mechanism is linked to a sensor, preferably a light barrier (1), which triggers a holding movement when the signal is broken by an object. The gripping device is powered by a servo engine (4), pneumatically or electro-magnetically and can vary the holding strength.
