Abstract: A seating assembly with a base, a seat and a back which have interlocking features, and a strap latch removeably securing the back to the base with a portion of the seat sandwiched therebetween. The strap latch comprises a strap affixed to one component, with a latch attached to its free end, and a catch member affixed to another component. The seat may also be configured to appear horizontal but to have a rearward incline when occupied, by affixing the seat webbing to a fixed forward member and a floating rear member, and attaching the floating member to a fixed rear member via straps, wherein the straps and the seat webbing have sufficient elasticity to allow the floating member to be depressed when a downward force is applied to the seat.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electret filter element includes preparing fibers and producing, by a spray device, a spray mist of fluid droplets which include an electrical charge formed by an electric field between detaching fluid droplets and a counter-electrode. The fibers are passed through the spray mist so as to wet the fibers with the fluid droplets. The fibers are laid down to form a fibrous layer.

The latching shoulder (10) is formed here by a step in the housing wall in the region of the upper side.

Abstract: A method for detection and classification of imperfections in components is proposed having the following stages: Irradiation of pulsed ultrasonic waves from electrical emission pulses on several points of the surface of the component to be examined, reception of the reflected ultrasonic waves at several points of the surface for generating multiple electrical reception signals, analysis and evaluation of the electrical reception signals in terms of their amplitude information with reference to the positions of the points of the irradiated ultrasonic waves and the detected reflected sound waves for generating a three-dimensional spatial distribution of the scattering properties of the component.

Abstract: The fuel-injection valve has the feature that provision is made at the downstream end of the injection valve for a preparation attachment which is made of a gas-containing part and an insertion member. The downstream end of the injection valve with the preparation attachment is completely surrounded in the circumferential direction by a tubular, thin-walled, metallic gas-containing member. The gas-containing member is secured to the injection valve by a non-integral snap-fit, catch or clip connection to a plastic extrusion coating at least partially enveloping the valve housing. The corresponding connection elements are constructed in the form of projections and clips. The fuel-injection valve is particularly suited for injection into the intake passage of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with externally supplied ignition.

The installation/removal device includes a sheathing member having a tubular section and a contacting section, which acts on and/or contacts the fuel injector by a contact surface that extends radially inwardly. The contacting section, which can be formed by at least two elastic, contacting subsections separated from each other by cut-outs, is adjustable between an engaged position; in which a frictional connection to the fuel injector can be established, and a released position in which the installation/removal device can be removed from the fuel injector.

Abstract: A method for nondestructive, three-dimensional detection of structural elements in structures, especially those made of concrete or similar materials, allows an area to be investigated to be scanned areawise using ultrasound and by recording high-frequency, travel-time-dependent data for the individual points. In an imaging method, the respective volume image of the area being investigated is determined. This method is improved in such fashion that the accuracy of the location of structures is improved. It is proposed that the area to be investigated be scanned by both ultrasound and radar and that a structural representation of the area investigated be performed both on the basis of data acquired using sound and on the basis of data acquired using radar, with these two representations being calibrated.

Abstract: A device for the injection of a fuel/gas mixture is particularly simple and cost-effective for gas containment of fuel emerging from an injection valve. For this purpose, a treatment attachment is provided at the downstream end of the injection valve, the treatment attachment including at least a gas containment part and an insert body which are fixedly connected to one another. The treatment attachment is fixedly connected to the injection valve by means of a casing portion of the bowl-shaped gas containment part, while a bottom portion of the gas containment part has material of the insert body at least partially injection-molded around it. Inside the insert body extends an orifice which at least partially widens conically in the downstream direction and in which, for example, a jet divider is arranged. The device is particularly suitable for injection into the suction pipe of a mixture-compressing spark-ignition internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A device has a jet divider with a convex divider surface facing the perforated spray disc. The convex jet divider acts as a flow resistance, thereby causing stagnation region flow. The stagnation-region flow is responsible for the fact that, despite the gas containing, separation of the jets is maintained even downstream of the jet divider (86) and for the good preparation effect of the gas containing by virtue of improved mixing of the gas and fuel. The device for injecting a fuel/gas mixture is suitable particularly for injection into the intake pipe of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines has a fuel distributor device with at least one pipe connector in whose receptacle an injection valve is inserted by its inflow-side, upstream end. A connecting element serves for fixing the injection valve in position axially on the pipe connector of the fuel distributor device and also for fixing it in the circumferential direction. The connecting element, which is constructed as a plastic clip, includes a disc-shaped, circular ring-shaped base element with an inner opening through which the inflow-side end of the injection valve runs in the installed state, the disc-shaped base body being positioned in a circumferential groove of the injection valve. The base element includes two legs which can be closed or opened by means of a locking connection.

Abstract: A fuel distributor for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines having at least one fuel injection valve and at least one valve carrier which has a receiving bore for the fuel injection valve. The fuel injection valve includes an end flange surrounding the receiving bore on which flange the fuel injection valve is axially supported by means of a collar. The end flange of the valve carrier and the collar of the fuel injection valve are embodied as mutually corresponding parts of a bayonet mount, in order to provide positional fixation of the fuel injection valve independently of a plug hood to be mounted onto a protruding end of the fuel injection valve. The plug hood includes blocking tangs on an end face that form-fittingly engage recesses in the bayonet mount that serve the purpose of locking and unlocking the fuel injection valve.
