Abstract: The container for delivery of ichneumon flies consists of ichneumon fly eggs and two biodegradable plastic parts (2,3) that are interlocked with one another. The ichneumon fly eggs are stuck on an inner wall (19) of the container. The container (1) is provided with at least one emergence opening (13), preferably a slit, of sufficient size for emergence of the hatched ichneumon flies. This container is rigid and enables automatic filling and delivery of the ichneumon flies by dropping the containers from a magazine, for example using small airplanes or model airplanes. The container decomposes after the container has been ploughed into the ground. A method of agricultural pest control using the containers is also part of the invention.

Abstract: The two-component composition for chemical fastenings consists of a first component and a second component separate from the first component. The first component contains a free-radical-curable synthetic resin, which is a mono-acrylate or monomethacrylate of an alkoxylated bisphenol having a viscosity of 100 to 5000 mPa·s at 23° C. The second component is a curing agent for the synthetic resin, such as dibenzoyl peroxide or methyl ethyl ketone peroxide. The first component may also include an accelerator. Good adhesion characteristics in wet concrete are provided by the adhesive composition because a monoacrylate and/or monomethacrylate of an alkoxylated, especially an ethoxylated or propyloxylated, bisphenol is used as the curable synthetic resin.

Abstract: A drive for opening and closing a cover member in a motor vehicle has a lever which includes a detent device, for example a spring-loaded pin, which is pressed into a detent notch by force of a spring and is disengageable when a predetermined force is exceed and as a result disconnects an electric motor for opening and closing said cover member. It is therefore possible to open the cover member even when the electric motor fails, by disengaging the lever by hand, and the lever forms an overload safety device for the electric motor in the event of the cover member becoming jammed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug (10) for fastening to hollow or panel-type building materials and to solid building materials. The invention proposes providing the plug (10) with expansion limbs (18) that extend longitudinally and that are connected to one another by thin skins (22) having a corrugation in the peripheral direction. That has the advantage of good screw guidance and a torsionally rigid construction of the plug (10); especially when fastening to hollow and panel-type building materials, undesirable backwards rotation of the plug tip (16) is avoided when screwing in an expansion screw by hand. Angled slits (32) in the plug tip (16) bring about good adaptation to screws having different diameters and different pitches of thread.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (10) for rapid securing of an apparatus (12) such as, for example, a car radio or a navigation device, in an installation opening (14) in a motor vehicle. The invention proposes providing the apparatus (12) with laterally projecting brackets (22), over which slide members (30) arranged at the sides of the apparatus (12) engage in a locking position. In a mounting position, the slide members (30) release the brackets (22) so that the apparatus (12) can be pulled out of the installation opening (14) and inserted therein. (FIG.

Abstract: The invention relates to an expansible fixing plug (10) having an expansion region. To achieve a high anchoring force, the invention proposes constructing the expansible fixing plug (10) in the expansion region with two circumferential wall portions (18) arranged lying opposite one another, each of which extends over about 180° and from the insides of which expansion ribs (20) project inwards, the inner edges (22) of which expansion ribs form a semicircular arc and by which an expansion channel (24) that is continuous in the lengthwise direction of the expansible fixing plug (10) is constricted to a lens shape. By screwing an expansion screw into the expansion channel (24), the expansible fixing plug (10) is expanded.

Abstract: A device (10) for fixing facing panels (14) to a wall (16) by means of a transverse support (12), on which the facing panels (14) can be suspended. To render the transverse support (12) stable, the invention proposes constructing the transverse support (12) as a closed, hollow profiled member. This has the advantage that even heavy facing panels (14) can be mounted on the wall (16). Moreover, the invention proposes vertical supports (32) for mounting the transverse support (12), which are to be mounted on the wall (16) at a distance therefrom by means of length-adjustable rods (42), which are pivotally connected to the vertical supports (32) and to the wall (16). A single rod (42) forms a movable bearing (40) and two rods (42) mounted at an angle to one another form a fixed bearing (38). The advantage of this method of mounting the transverse support (12) on the wall (16) is the ease of vertical adjustment and ease with which wall unevenness can be accommodated.

Abstract: A storage compartment has a bottom pivotable by a first hinged joint out of a substantially horizontal position into a substantially vertical position. A wall is pivotably mounted by a second hinged joint on the bottom and pivotable out of a position lying flat against said bottom into a position standing away from the bottom. A driving mechanism pivots the wall out of the position lying flat against the bottom into the position standing away from the bottom, and vice versa, as the bottom is pivoted out of the substantially vertical position into the substantially horizontal position.

Abstract: The invention relates to an expansible fixing plug (10), which is manufactured as a two-material fixing plug from a relatively soft and a relatively hard plastics material. To achieve a low insertion torque of an expansion screw as the expansible fixing plug (10) is expanded, yet nevertheless a high anchoring force, the invention proposes constructing from the relatively hard plastics material expansion fingers (22), having cross-sectional areas increasing in size in the direction towards the leading end of the expansible fixing plug (10), which expansion fingers are embedded in expansion tongues (14) of the relatively soft plastics material having a cross-section corresponding to a circular segment, the expansion tongues (14) being connected with one another by dilatation zones (16). (FIG. 8).
