Abstract: An electronically regulated cleaning system independently adjusted of the driver and adaptively to continuously variable operating conditions, for installation in a vehicle for cleaning at least one transparent element with a fluid cleaning agent, includes: at least one additive container storing additive for mixing with the cleaning agent, at least one electrically switchable metering device controlling mixing of the additive and cleaning agent, at least one electronic control unit adaptively controlling the electrically controllable components of the cleaning system, at least one cleaning agent filling level sensor monitoring the filling level of the cleaning agent and communicating with the electronic control unit, at least one freezing point sensor monitoring the mixture-dependent freezing point of the cleaning agent in the container and communicating with the electronic control unit, at least one surroundings temperature sensor monitoring the temperature of the surroundings outside the vehicle and commun

Abstract: A cleaning device (1) for a lens (2) of a headlight of a motor vehicle has two telescoping tubes (6, 7), the outer tube (6) holding a spray nozzle (9). The outer tube (6) is also surrounded by a protective tube (8) to be fixed in the motor vehicle. When the outer tube (6) is pulled out (9), the spray nozzle is displaced over the lens (2). The connections of the tubes (6, 7) are reliably protected from dirt accumulation.

Abstract: In a coupling for the connection of a washing-liquid pipe in a motor vehicle to another component, a catching element (3) designed for connecting two coupling parts (1, 2) has a shell (9) of C-shaped cross section intended for gripping. Catching noses (6) project radially inwardly from the shell (9). By this, mounting and demounting of the catching element (3) are especially simple.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly (2) for a washing nozzle (6) of a windshield washing system is pivotably mounted in a recess (3) of a body panel (4). The nozzle assembly (2) has an eccentric (11), by which the angle of inclination of the washing nozzle (6) can be set in relation to a windshield (1) to be cleaned. Tolerances of the nozzle assembly (2) and of the body panel (4) can thereby be compensated in a simple way.

Abstract: A cleaning device for a motor vehicle headlight lens, a washer nozzle (6) is arranged on a support (11) having tubes (12, 13) which can be moved in the manner of a telescope. An outer tube (12) of the support (11) can be moved by an adjusting arrangement (5) having an electric motor (19). A connecting branch (16) for a washer fluid line (9) is latched to a fixed guide sleeve (14). As a result, the cleaning device is of particularly compact construction.

Abstract: In the case of a cleaning device (1) a washer jet (9) is arranged on a piston rod (6) which can be moved by means of an electromotive drive unit (3). A heating element (10), which is connected to a hollow cylinder (2) which is in a fixed location, is situated, in its illustrated position of rest, in the direct vicinity of the washer jet (9) and in this manner makes it possible for the washer jet (9) to be heated thereby preventing it from freezing up when ambient temperatures are critical. No electrical contacts are required on the moveable part of the cleaning device (1) because of the connection of the heating element (10) in a fixed location.

Abstract: A hose coupling for connecting two hoses (3, 4) has two hose fittings (1, 2), which each have a coupling part (5, 6). One coupling part (5) has a radially encircling guide collar (7), which engages in a groove (9) made in a sleeve (8) of the other coupling part (6). The sleeve (8) is of elastic material in order to fit the coupling parts (5, 6) one inside the other in a simple manner.
