  • Patent number: 11964377
    Abstract: A tool arrangement includes a tool management device with a body and a lid which, by a hinge connection, is configured pivotably relative to the body for selectively covering or releasing a receiving space of the body, and a receiving device for receiving tool elements. The receiving device is mounted or mountable in the receiving space of the body such that, by the hinge connection, the receiving device is co-pivoted when the lid is pivoted. The lid is detachable from the hinge connection, such that, after detaching the lid from the hinge connection, the receiving device is pivotable by actuating the hinge connection without the lid.

  • Patent number: 11787259
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning device (10) for a motor vehicle, which device comprises a housing (26), a cold air region (84), a hot air region (86), an evaporator (36) which is configured to provide a cold air stream (50) in the cold air region (84), and a heating element (34) which is configured to provide a hot air stream (48) in the hot air region (86). Furthermore, the device (10) has a one-piece cross-flow deflection device (38), which is covered by the housing (26) and comprises a mixing device (40) and a cover (42), wherein the mixing device (40) has a plurality of mixing chambers (52), each of which is provided for mixing a part of the cold air stream (50) and a part of the hot air stream (48). The cover (42) here separates the cold air region (84) and the hot air region (86) from each other at least in portions. Furthermore, the cover (42) has a fixing device (74) which is provided for fixing the heating element (34).

  • Patent number: 9555693
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air intake device (16) of a vehicle-interior ventilation system (10), in particular of a vehicle air conditioner, having a filter chamber (18) which is arranged upstream of a fan blower (34), and a filter (32) which is arranged in the filter chamber (18), the filter chamber (18) having a fresh air inlet (22) upstream of the filter (32) and a filter maintenance opening (40) which makes it possible to install and dismantle the filter (32). Furthermore, the air intake device (16) comprises an air-guiding component (24) which can be dismantled and has a fresh air intake opening (28), which air-guiding component (24) forms a fresh air duct (26) which extends from the fresh air intake opening (28) to the fresh air inlet (22) of the filter chamber (18), and which air-guiding component (24) closes the filter maintenance opening (40) by way of a cover section (42).
