In contrast to a lift bridge, where the deck is pulled upwards along towers, the deck of a table bridge is pushed upwards by otherwise hidden pillars. [2] The name originates from the fact that when open it resembles a table. The total space required by a table bridge is hardly larger than the bridge deck, which is not the case with a thrust ...
To overcome this difference, the 15.4 metres (51 ft) lift at Houdeng-Goegnies was opened in 1888. The other three lifts, each with a 16.93 metres (55.5 ft) rise, opened in 1917. The elevators are double, consisting of two vertically mobile tanks or caissons, each supported in the centre by an iron column.
These three views are known as front view (also elevation view), top view or plan view and end view (also profile view or section view). When the plane or axis of the object depicted is not parallel to the projection plane, and where multiple sides of an object are visible in the same image, it is called an auxiliary view .
This mechanism is used in devices such as lift tables and scissor lifts.Modern low-profile computer keyboards make an extensive use of it as well, installing each key on a scissor support to ensure their smooth vertical movement, allowing the use of a cheap and reliable rubber dome contact set, instead of expensive and complex array of mechanical switches.
Lift tables can also be driven by pneumatic sources, trapezoidal-threaded screw drives, push chains or by hydraulic foot pump when the load is not heavy. The choice of drive mechanism depends on factors such as load capacity, lifting height, speed requirements, and the intended environment. Lift tables can be mounted in a pit for floor-level ...
