Abstract: An antenna arrangement has a base body (9), a bearing arrangement which interacts with the base body (9) and has a bearing piece (17), and the antenna arrangement also has an antenna rod (1) which is connected in a captive manner to the bearing arrangement once a latching connection is produced between latching means (29) and a latching head (25) which is formed at one end of a central pin (22), and which can be pivoted with respect to the base body (9). The bearing piece (17) has an external thread (19), and is formed with a receptacle area (20) in which the central pin (22) can be moved in the longitudinal direction. The antenna rod (1) is connected to an attachment piece (28), on which the latching means (29) are formed and which is provided with an internal thread (27), which engages with the external thread (19) that is formed on the bearing piece (17). This results in relatively simple assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling for a fluid line arrangement, said coupling being characterised in that a plane outer side (8) of at least one essentially D-shaped sealing ring (7) of a sealing unit is applied to a plane supporting layer (10) of a receiving section (3) of a coupling part (1). In this way, in addition to a high twist rigidity of the sealing ring (7) in question, a very effective sealing action is achieved, even in the presence of comparatively weak radial pressure forces.

Said device comprises a plurality of connecting elements (5, 6, 7) which have respective openings (14) and which can be engaged with a thread of the screw. Said connecting elements (5, 6, 7), in a preassembly configuration, are loose pieces. Along the edge of the opening (14) of the connecting elements (5, 6, 7), a pitch section (15) of a threaded structure is configured. A connecting system (8) allows to maintain, in a final assembly configuration, the connecting elements (5, 6, 7) in a predetermined spatial relationship to each other, thereby increasing the variability of use of the device.

Abstract: A device for fastening an attachment to a support part has a clamp (1) which has a base plate (2) and two leg arrangements arranged on opposite sides of the base plate (2) and having inner legs (5, 6) and outer legs (9, 10). Furthermore, there is an engagement unit having a bearing piece (14) that can be connected to the attachment and having a locking part (26) displaceably mounted in the bearing piece (14). The locking part (26) has at least two locking feet (29) and is arranged free of effective engagement relative to the clamp (1) in a release position and is in engagement with the clamp (1) in a locking position with the locking feet (29) in such a way that at least one respective locking foot (29) blocks a movement of an outer leg (9, 10) in the direction of the inner leg (5, 6) connected to it. As a result, very reliable manipulation and high pull-out strength are achieved.

Abstract: A coupling has a locating part (1) into which a plug-in part can be inserted, and a locking part (7) which, after insertion of the plug-in part, can be moved from a projecting prefitting position into a pushed-in locking position. There is a control part (12) which has a C-shaped basic body formed with side legs (13, 14) and encloses, in the prefitting position of the locking part (7), a section (16) of the locating part (1). The control part (12) comprises a stop section (18), which, in the prefitting position of the locking part (7), bears in a stop position against the locking part (7) and which, in the locking position of the locking part (7), is disengaged from the locking part (7), wherein the control part (12), in the locking position of the locking part (7) can be displaced in the axial direction from the stop position into a removal position, in which it can be removed from the locating part (1).

Abstract: A spring nut to be fastened to a bolt comprises a frame (1) to which are attached two mutually opposite resilient clamping legs (5, 6). Also present is a locking leg (9), which is attached by one end bendably about1 the frame (1) and which in a closed position comes into engagement with a holding arrangement (13, 14). In the closed position, the locking leg (9) exerts on at least one clamping leg (5, 6) a closing force that leads to a holding force holding the spring nut on the bolt. As a result, despite relatively high nominal holding forces, the mating and withdrawal forces for mating the spring nut onto and removing it from the bolt are comparatively low.

Abstract: A coupling comprises a socket member (1) and a sealing ring (10) that is fixable in a receiving space (4) adapted to receive an insert member (13) insertable into the socket member (1) in an insertion direction. In assembled arrangement, the sealing ring (10) bears against mutually opposite contact surfaces (9, 11), said contact surfaces (9, 11) lying partially outside a plane oriented at right angles to the insertion direction. The insert member (13) thereby comes into contact first with front portions and then gradually with rear portions of the sealing ring (10), such that appreciably lower insertion forces are required because of the porportionately low static friction forces.

Abstract: A device for retaining at least one elongate object has at least one base-side wall portion (4, 9), mutually opposite lateral wall portions (5, 10), and at least one resilient cover portion (6, 11) located opposite the or each base-side wall portion (4, 9), the wall portions (4, 5, 9, 10) and the or each cover portion (6, 9) enclosing a receiving space (7). Attached to at least one cover portion (6, 11) is a first end of a connecting portion (8, 12) that extends within the receiving space (7) and has a second end attached to one of the wall portions (4, 5, 9, 10). Thus, only a small amount of space is required for the object to be retained reliably when subjected to a given pull-out force.

Abstract: A device for fastening at least one object to a supporting part provided with a fastening bolt comprises an engaging arrangement (13) that can be brought into engagement with the fastening bolt. The engaging arrangement (13) is mounted on an inner cage (8) connected via a number of bent flexible connecting pieces (14, 15, 16, 17) to an outer cage (3), on which, in turn, at least one holding arrangement (1, 2) for holding the or each object is formed. This results in good tolerance compensation with regard to the position of the fastening bolt.

Abstract: A device for compensating for tolerances when fastening an add-on to a base member comprises a holding element (1) connectable to the base member, and an elongate compensating bushing (8) that is associated with the add-on, is displaceable relative thereto, and comprises a channel (11) for accommodating a connecting element connectable to the add-on. The holding element (1) and the compensating bushing (8) are freely displaceably associated with each other via wall sections (6, 7) that are smooth over a displacement path. The channel (11) of the compensating bushing (8) has a larger dimension in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction than the diameter of a connecting element. The holding element (1) is configured as bendable in at least one intermediate section located between a fastening region (2) to the base member and an accommodating region for the compensating bushing (8). This results in excellent tolerance compensation characteristics combined with ease of installation.
