Abstract: A distribution device for a circuit operated with a liquid medium for a heating system or a cooling system, such as a hot water heating plant, a solar plant or the like. The distribution device serves to separate the medium into individual circuits each having a distribution pipe for forward and return flow, wherein the distribution pipes are provided with regulating and locking members as well as, if necessary, measuring and indicating members for the individual circuits. The regulating and locking members include members for preadjusting the maximum flow rate and for regulating the respective circuit, wherein the regulating and locking members are each combined in a fitting with only one valve body with flow from the front against the valve body, and wherein the regulating and locking members are exclusively arranged in the return flow pipe.

Abstract: A side impact beam for a passenger vehicle, particularly for a vehicle door, includes a hat-shaped profiled section which is open toward the external panelling of the passenger vehicle and has at least one web facing away from the external panelling, two legs connected to the web and directed toward the external panelling and two flanges connected to the ends of the legs and facing away from each other, wherein, starting from the transverse plane in the middle of the beam, the height of the profiled section decreases continuously toward the ends of the beam provided with increased width flanges serving for securing the beam to the vehicle chassis. The height of the profiled section may decrease in accordance with a uniform or non-uniform curve pattern.
