  • Patent number: 10634179
    Abstract: A fastening device for fastening an object to a wall includes a fastening element, a bearing element adapted for bearing against the wall, and a holding element configured to hold at least a part of the object. The holding element has a through opening running at least through the holding element and the bearing element for allowing passage of the fastening element. A connecting element constructed as an eccentric connects the bearing element and the holding element to one another. The holding element together with the connecting element and the bearing element form a single-piece fastening unit.

  • Patent number: 7669635
    Abstract: A window shade arrangement having a manually operated window shade web whose movement between open and closed positions is guided by guide rails at each side. A pull rode having oblong sliding blocks travels in the two guide rails. The sliding blocks, together with the pull rod, can swivel about an axis parallel to the pull rod. In this way, the sliding blocks can become secured in corresponding locking pockets in the guide rails. The locking can be released by manual turning of the pull rod in the opposite direction.

  • Patent number: 7396067
    Abstract: A rear window roller blind for motor vehicles which has a pull rod assembly with a contoured plate. The contoured plate is used to close the segmented residual gap between the straight pull rod assembly and the curved top edge of the rear window. In order for the contoured plate to lie flush with a rear shelf below the rear window when the roller blind is in a retracted position, it is pivotable about a longitudinal axis of the pull rod assembly during movement of the pull rod between its retracted and extended positions. Such rotational movement is controlled by the contour of guide rails within which the pull rod is guided during such pull out movement.

  • Publication number: 20060060345
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling circuit (2), especially for a motor vehicle transmission, comprising at least one heat exchanger (4, 5). According to the invention, two heat exchangers (4, 5) are serially connected. A first heat exchanger (4) causes heat to be conveyed from a first (10) to a second fluid (1, 3) while a second heat exchanger causes heat to be conveyed from the first (10) in a third fluid (9).
