Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for vibration-insulated mounting of an electric motor (20), in particular a blower motor, having a first housing part (10), which encloses at least one pole ring (22) and magnets (24) of the electric motor (20) and has at least one opening (14, 16), through which the shaft (18) of the motor (20) reaches, and having a second housing part (54), which is embodied as a motor flange for securing the electric motor (20) to a carrier element, for instance a motor vehicle heating and/or air conditioning system, and at least partly embraces the first housing part (10) in the axial direction of the motor shaft (18).

Abstract: In a brushless, electronically commutated direct-current machine, in particular a direct-current motor, having a multiphase stator winding (12) and having electronic power switches (15) that are connected in series with the winding phases (13), in order to rapidly switch off the direct-current machine when there is at least one defective power switch (15), a malfunction protection device is provided, which has a fuse (16) that is electrically heated in the event of a malfunction and that has a fuse wire (17), which carries the machine current (FIG. 1).

Abstract: A windshield wiper for motor vehicles, having a support bracket (1) for connection to a wiper arm secured to a motor vehicle, wherein the support bracket (1) has an essentially U-shaped cross section and at least one support bracket detent recess (7); at least one lower bracket (2) for connection to a rubber wiper blade, wherein the lower bracket (2) has an essentially U-shaped cross section, has at least one lower bracket detent recess (11), and is at least partly embraced by the support bracket (1); and a joint (3) for pivotably connecting the at least one lower bracket (2) to the support bracket (1), wherein the joint (3) has a joint base body (12) at least partly embraced by the lower bracket (2), at least one lower bracket detent body (13), connected to the joint base body (12), for locking onto the at least one lower bracket detent recess (11), and at least one support bracket detent body (16), provided on the at least one lower bracket detent body (13), for locking onto the at least one support bracket
