  • Patent number: 10578336
    Abstract: An air flap device comprises a housing with an air flow passage section. At least one air flap is mounted on a first and on a second mounting point on the housing. The second mounting point is located at an axial distance from the first mounting point. The air flap is rotatable around the pivot axis defining the axial direction. By pivoting the at least one air flap relative to the housing, the effective flow cross-section of the air flow passage section can be modified. The air flap(s) is mounted on the mounting points with an axial play relative to the housing. At least one spring assembly is arranged such that at least one part of an axial movement of the air flap(s) occurs within its play relative to the housing in the direction of the first or/and the second mounting point, against a pre-tensioning effect of the spring assembly.

  • Patent number: 7552946
    Abstract: A fastening device for a steering column module of a vehicle includes a housing bottom (30) coupled to an essentially tubular fastening flange (20), which module is mounted on the steering column jacket (10) of a steering spindle. The fastening flange (20) has at least one radially movable arresting block (40, 40?), which, in a fastening position of the fastening flange (20), engages in a corresponding radial recess (12, 12?) of the steering column jacket (10).
