Abstract: A connecting clamp for connecting two pipe stubs with an associated pipe body may include a first clamp body for connecting a first pipe stub with a first pipe body and a second clamp body disposed spaced apart from the first clamp body for connecting a second pipe stub with a second pipe body. The connecting clamp may also include a connecting body arranged between the clamp bodies. The connecting body may pivotably connect the clamp bodies with one another such that the clamp bodies are pivotable relative to one another between a start pivot position and an end pivot position. The connecting body may include a fixing device for fixing the clamp bodies in the end pivot position.

Abstract: An attachment unit for a heat exchanger of a motor vehicle, having an integral hinge, which has two attachment parts disposed movable relative to one another, whereby the first attachment part is used for positioning on the heat exchanger and the second attachment part for fixation to a motor vehicle body. The attachment part is produced in a simple manner and is stable against vibrations by the motor vehicle. The integral hinge for support after installation on the heat exchanger has at least one retaining element for the form-fitting insertion in a bearing of the integral hinge.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus is disclosed which includes a housing and a plurality of chambers which are arranged therein, sealed tightly and filled with a storage medium. The chambers have a substantially flat cross section and are arranged in at least one group. Passages extend between the chambers. The chambers of a group are combined to form a block, and at least one passage is provided between each pair of adjacent chambers. Each of the passages is connected to distribution and collection chambers formed in the housing, in the area of the distribution and collection chambers, with at least one feed port and a return port.

Abstract: 1. Heating and/or air-conditioning installation, especially for a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle.2.1 In known installations for heating and/or cooling, hinged flaps are employed as control means for distributing the air, which flaps need a large mounting space.2.2 It is proposed that a mounting frame with hinged or sliding lamellae be inserted into the free cross-sections of each of the channels to be controlled.2.3 Use of the motor vehicle air-conditioning systems.

Abstract: A control unit for controlling devices or assemblies comprises a plurality of control elements located on a control surface. These control elements are provided with correspondingly assigned symbols for visually displaying the function of the respective control element and can be adjusted into at least two positions. In order to make reliable control easier, even under unfavorable light conditions, the control elements or an area directly adjoining them are provided with means for distinguishing the respective control element haptically. The control unit is suitable in particular for controlling a heating and/or air conditioning system in a motor vehicle.
