  • Publication number: 20120279009
    Abstract: A plug connection between a wiper blade and a wiper arm of a wiper mechanism for a windscreen of a vehicle is provided. A bolt standing laterally away from the wiper arm can be introduced into a socket. The bolt includes a recess extending in the direction of the middle axis of the bolt. When the socket is pushed onto the bolt, a raised element extending in radial direction and arranged on an inner wall of the socket can be guided along the recess. The recess includes an extension region, into which the raised element can be brought by twisting the bolt and the socket relative to each other. A stop limiting the twisting is formed in the extension region between the bolt and the socket. A locking position of the socket is thus precisely defined.

  • Patent number: 7073850
    Abstract: A separating arrangement for the self-supporting bodywork of a motor vehicle has a partition which is arranged at the front end of a rear compartment, extends in the transverse direction of the vehicle and over part of its height between rear wheel houses of the motor vehicle and is fastened to boundary walls of the rear compartment. The separating arrangement is designed as a supporting device which strengthens the bodywork against distortion. The separating arrangement is curved in relation to a vertical transverse plane of the vehicle and a horizontal transverse plane of the vehicle, and the separating arrangement has reinforcing struts in the form of greater material thickness along force flow lines.
