Abstract: A luggage rack having a support member (10) and an mesh structure (14) arranged in parallel with the support member and being formed by net strings (16) that are attached to the support member (10) at closed edges of the luggage rack, characterized in that the net strings (16) are drawn into holes (18) of the support member and are attached in these holes or beyond said holes on the back side of the support member (10).

Abstract: A device for connecting component parts includes a blind rivet nut adapted to be anchored in one component part by a riveter which has a threaded stud; a spacer which is in threaded engagement with the blind rivet nut and, by being screwed-out, reaches a position in which it is supported at the other component part; a connecting screw adapted to be screwed into the blind rivet nut; and a torque transmitting intermediate member, which is accommodated in a receptacle of the spacer and transmits a torque onto the spacer when the connecting screw is screwed in. For anchoring the blind rivet nut in the one component part, the threaded stud is capable of being inserted into the intermediate member and the spacer and then being screwed into the blind rivet nut without causing the spacer to be rotated in its screw-out direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting a rail (10) on a rail substructure (18), includes a support plate (24) which supports the rail (10) and is held on the rail substructure (18) by means of bolts (30) arranged on both sides of the rail, and rotatable adjusting units (28) which are each associated with one of the bolts (30) for adjusting the support plate (24) relative to the bolts (30), wherein the adjusting units (28) are coupled by a gear mechanism (46, 48, 66, 48) for being adjusted synchronously.

Abstract: A telescopic mechanism, especially for steering columns of motor vehicles, with an internal element (10), which has a flattening (12) at least on one side, and an external element (14), which is complementary to the internal element (10) and in which the internal element is guided with roll barrels, which roll at the flattening (12), wherein at least some of the roll barrels are constructed as hollow elasticity bodies (18).

Abstract: Fixing device for railway rails, including a ribbed plate which supports the rail, is to be fixed on a rail substructure, and has ribs between which the rail is accommodated with its rail base, with the ribbed plate being a drawn sheet member.

Abstract: A method for producing a rail substructure for railroad tracks, for which a rail bed is concreted and dowels are anchored positively in the concrete in order to fasten the rails, such that the dowels are inserted into the still deformable concrete during the concreting of the track bed.

Abstract: A device for connecting two structural components, includes a base part disposed at one structural component, a spacer having a threaded portion in threaded engagement with the base part, the spacer being supported with one end thereof at the other structural component, a connecting screw inserted frictionally engaged through the spacer, a shoulder formed at one end of the threaded portion of the spacer, and an abutment to be engaged by the shoulder and being formed at the base part, such that the abutment is arranged to become effective to limit, through engagement with the shoulder, a threading movement of the spacer in one direction relative to the base part only after the base part and the spacer have been assembled.

Abstract: A device for connecting structural components (10, 12), with a base part (16; 116), which is disposed at the one structural component (10), a spacer (18; on 118), which is in threaded engagement with the base part (16; 116) and is supported with one end at the other (12) structural component, and a connecting screw (20), which is inserted frictionally engaged through the spacer (18; 118), wherein the spacer (18; 118) is surrounded by any jacket (32; 126) of a softer material, preferably of a plastic which, at least in the state, in which the spacer and the base part together have the smallest axial dimension, is flush with the front surface of the spacer (118) or of the hard core (50) of the same or protrudes with respect to this front surface.

Abstract: A key switch unit of synthetic material includes a housing and at least one key top connected to a spring section. The housing, key top and spring section are injection molded of one piece. The key top is folded back, whereby the spring section and the key top are disposed opposite one another. The key top and the spring section are elastically movable relative to the housing. By elastically pushing the key top against the spring section, the spring section is elastically displaced toward a switch element.

Abstract: A strut bearing includes two bearing races, a space formed between these two races, roll bodies arranged in the space between the two races, and a seal for sealing the space formed between the two races. At least a part of the seal is made of an elastic material, and the seal is molded to the bearing races or to parts of a casing accommodating the bearing races.

Abstract: Two structural parts are interconnected by a distance holder disposed therebetween. The distance holder includes two supporting bodies and a control element. The supporting bodies are connected to the control element such than an axial spreading-out of the supporting bodies occurs in response to rotation of the control element, whereby the supporting bodies engage respective ones of the structural parts. The supporting bodies are held against rotation about the axis, whereby the structural parts do not become scratched by the supporting bodies.

Abstract: A vehicle seat has a seat adjuster. The seat adjuster includes a brake acting between a stationary part and an adjustable part. By use of the brake, the adjustable part can be blocked in a variety of positions in both adjustment directions on the stationary part and which can be applied by means of a freely switching element. An adjusting device acts on the freely switching element for selectively adjusting the adjustable part in both directions. An additional locking mechanism is provided which when the adjusting device is not in operation, automatically engages and when the adjusting device is not in operation automatically disengages.

Abstract: An adjusting mechanism, in particular for seat adjusters in automotive vehicles, includes a drive member having a toothing and being movable in either of two mutually opposite directions. An actuating member is provided with two claws movably mounted on the actuating member such that, when the actuating member is moved out of a neutral position into one of two directions along the toothing of the drive member, one of the claws meshes with the toothing and the other claw is lifted away from the toothing by a guide contour. A switching member is movable along the toothing and is arranged to be entrained by the movement of the actuating member and to cancel the meshing engagement between the one claw and the toothing when the actuating member returns towards the neutral position.
