    Hiking

    Such metal arches were used to support tunnels underground. Sliding bends were mostly used for mining routes. These were used to transport people, material, ore and to supply fresh air (mining: 'ventilation')

    Hiking

    The sliding bend was used in mining to expand routes. Due to its semicircular shape, it offers high stability. If the load is too high, the bow is able to give way. The profiles then slide into each other and are not damaged.
