Abstract: A fastening element for fastening lining parts has a fastening section for attachment of a lining part thereto, and a locking section adapted to lock with a carrier for the fastening element. The locking section includes at least one locking tab. The locking tab has a release tab provided thereon for engagement by a tool for shifting the locking lab to a release position.

Abstract: On a sealing plug (10) for sealing an opening (12) in a component (14), in particular in a vehicle body part, comprising a base body (16) which can cover the opening (12), a plurality of projecting latch elements (34) which can latch onto the rear wall of the component (14) are provided on the rear face of the base body (16). Further, a plurality of centring elements (40, 48) arranged separately from the latch elements (34) are provided on the rear face of the base body (16) and can lie resiliently flexibly against the edge (54) of the opening (12).

Abstract: A fastening element comprises a guide body which serves to be received in a receptacle, and at least one clamping tab which is arranged on the guide body and has art outer edge which is provided for cooperation with the inner surface of the receptacle. The outer edge of the clamping tab extends obliquely to a plane that is perpendicular to the central axis of the guide body, and the outer edge is in the form of a part of a thread such that thread effect is achieved with which the fastening element can be unscrewed from the receptacle.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly (10) for attachment of a component of a motor vehicle, in particular for attachment of a lining part (35) to a carrier (20), having a first holding part (12) and a second holding part (14), the first holding part (12) having at least one abutment (26) and the second holding part (14) having at least one detent hook (36), and having a locking bar (15) which can be moved between a release position, in which the detent hook (36) can move behind, and be released from, the abutment (26), and a locking position, in which the detent hook (36) is locked behind the abutment (26), the locking bar (15) automatically moving from the release position to the locking position. The invention further relates to a method of mounting and of dismounting said assembly.

Abstract: A fixing device for at least one line is provided, with a holding portion for mounting the fixing device and at least one receiving portion which includes a receptacle for at least one line. Between the holding portion and the at least one receiving portion at least one damping portion is provided, which connects the at least one receiving portion with the holding portion and vibrationally decouples the same from the holding portion. The connection between receiving portion and holding portion is formed exclusively by the damping portion. The holding portion consists of a first, hard material and the damping portion of a second, soft material, the receiving portion including at least one damping element protruding into the receptacle, at least one damping component being provided on the outside of the receiving portion at least one damping component, the damping element and the damping portion being integrally connected with each other.

Abstract: A baffle (10) for a venting valve for reducing the admission of sound into the interior in particular of a motor vehicle, including at least one air guiding channel (16, 18, 20, 22) having a labyrinth geometry.

Abstract: An air vent (10) having a housing (12) and an air guiding means (14) that is swivel-mounted in the housing (12) includes a mounting (24) by means of which the air guiding means (14) is mounted on the housing (12) for swiveling about at least one swivel axis, the mounting (24) being formed by a ball joint (30) having a bearing shell (34) and a ball head (32) mounted in the bearing shell (34), and the ball head (32) being of a multipart configuration with at least two spherical segments (50, 52), and a spring member (54) being provided that acts upon the spherical segments (50, 52) of the ball head (32) with a force that seeks to push the spherical segments (50, 52) apart.
