Abstract:
The invention relates to a control rod for an adjustable closing element or a vehicle roof. The adjustable closing element is designed to selectively close a roof opening in a closing position or at least partly release same in further positions. The control rod is formed from a drawn steel spring wire.
Abstract:
An exhaust turbocharger with a housing, a compressor arranged in a compressor space and an exhaust turbine is arranged in a turbine space, whereby an exhaust line from the turbine outlet is connected to a low-pressure side of the compressor space via an exhaust recirculation line which extends through the housing and is designed largely in a spiral form in the housing. The recirculated exhaust gas flow arrangements improve the dynamics by providing higher turbocharger rotational speeds in the partial load range due to the production of a pre-twist by the exhaust recirculation stream.
Abstract:
A belt drive for a secondary unit of an internal combustion engine includes a friction wheel drive having a friction wheel, a cam device for adjusting the engagement of the friction wheel to the drive wheel of the secondary unit, the cam device having a cam, a swivel arm by which the friction wheel is connected to the cam which is rotationally mounted on a side of the engine, and a spring biasing the swivel arm in a tension direction. The friction wheel is in permanent position of frictional engagement with a drive wheel of the secondary unit to drive the secondary unit and with an outside of a belt on a drive wheel of the internal combustion engine or of another secondary unit.
Abstract:
A split bearing arrangement in a machine housing, particularly a crankshaft journal bearing for piston machines. The split bearing arrangement including a bearing block and a bearing cover that are made of materials of different hardnesses. In order to provide a material anchoring between the bearing cover and the bearing block that can be subjected to high loads and is cost-effective to produce, the bearing arrangement provides the bearing cover, which is made of an iron material, with cutting-edge like projections protruding above its clamping faces and, furthermore, provides grooves in the corresponding clamping faces of the bearing cover and the bearing block. These grooves in an initial mounting of the bearing cover with the required force serve to receive the material of the bearing block that is displaced in the pressing-in process when the projections are pressed into the opposite clamping faces of the bearing block, which is made of a light metal.
Abstract:
A wind deflector for a vehicle roof which may be opened, having a displaceable cover element, comprising a stretchable deflector element made from a flat, flexible material and which with its lower edge region is fastened to a fixed roof portion via a lower edge strip and with its upper edge region is fastened to a pivotable extending clip via an upper edge strip. The upper edge strip and the lower edge strip are components of a peripheral plastics edge encapsulation of the deflector element.
Abstract:
A housing can be secured to a motor vehicle and has a first housing portion (4) and a second housing portion (2) which can be connected thereto. To integrate a pedestrian protection function and to provide a defined relative movement of the housing portions in relation to each other, it is proposed to provide on the first housing portion an elongate support element (10), which is connected with a proximal end to the first housing portion and has a distally disposed effective end having an effective cross-section (6), and the second housing portion (2) includes an elastic fixing element with a through opening, the inside diameter of which is smaller than the effective cross-section.
Abstract:
A tensioning device for tensioning a traction medium, especially a chain, is provided. The tensioning device includes a supporting body element attachable to a third object and at least one tensioning track capable of being applied against the traction medium. The supporting body element and the tensioning track being joined together as one piece.
