Abstract: A broad-band resonance silencer has an at least two-part housing which is designed to receive an exhaust-or gas-conveying pipe, which defines, with a circumferentially surrounding pipe jacket with acoustic openings formed therein, a pipe interior, wherein the pipe, in its installed position, is enclosed by a damping chamber formed by the housing, which chamber is actively connected to the pipe interior via the acoustic openings, and wherein the housing includes two axially split housing half-shells. In order to broaden the scope of use of such a broad-band resonance silencer, it is proposed that the pipe be designed as an insert which includes a central pipe section with two end-side pipe ends, that the insert be designed such that it can be inserted into the housing half-shells of the housing, and that the broad-band resonance silencer includes at least one acoustic channel.

Abstract: An air pipe for motor vehicles, in particular for connecting a hot component to a cold component, is provided. A first connector at a first end of the pipe is provided for securing the pipe in an airtight manner to a hot component and a second connector at a second end of the pipe is provided for securing the pipe in an airtight manner to a cold component. At least one flexible pipe portion is provided between the first and the second connectors. Supporting rings made from a material which is dimensionally stable in relation to the flexible pipe material are provided. The supporting rings surround a free pipe cross section and stabilize the cross-sectional shape of the flexible pipe portion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cylinder head oil separator arranged in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. In order to reduce maintenance and simplify the oil separator, the cylinder head oil separator includes a flow channel which is constructed as a Tesla valve and which is designed such that the air-oil aerosol flows through a longer flow path in a first flow direction from the aerosol inlet at a first opening to the air outlet (separation direction) at a second opening. The air-oil aerosol flows through a shorter flow path in a ventilation direction opposite the separation direction from the inlet at the second opening to the outlet of a fluid at the first opening.

Abstract: A housing can be secured to a motor vehicle and has a first housing portion (4) and a second housing portion (2) which can be connected thereto. To integrate a pedestrian protection function and to provide a defined relative movement of the housing portions in relation to each other, it is proposed to provide on the first housing portion an elongate support element (10), which is connected with a proximal end to the first housing portion and has a distally disposed effective end having an effective cross-section (6), and the second housing portion (2) includes an elastic fixing element with a through opening, the inside diameter of which is smaller than the effective cross-section.

Abstract: A filter element, comprising a first component, a second component, and a filter medium, which is situated between the components, the components being spaced apart by the filter medium, the components and the filter medium delimiting a permeable volume, and the filter medium implementing a wall surface, through which a fluid may pass for filtering, is characterized in regard to the object of designing and refining a filter element in such a way that it may be used in tight installation spaces in that the components are oriented inclined to one another or have surfaces inclined to one another.

Abstract: With respect to the object of providing a filter element with a sufficiently high filtration capacity and easy deformability, a filter element, comprising a first component (1), a second component (2) and a pleated filter medium (3) interposed between the components (1, 2), the components (1, 2) being disposed at a distance due to the filter medium (3), is characterized in that the filter element (3) is made of a non-woven fabric and pleated such that a distance between the components (1, 2) can be reversibly reduced, at least in some regions, when a force is applied.

Abstract: A radiator grill for a motor vehicle has a chromium-plated mask, with a mask frame comprising a plurality of mask decorative strips. The latter are secured to individual support plates of a support frame. The individual support plates are elastically deformably connected to one another by spring devices. A mask decorative bar is preferably arranged such that it can move relative to the mask frame.

Abstract: This invention relates to a closing device for a housing of an air filter that can be closed with a housing cover. The assembly process is to be simplified and accelerated, while the number of parts required is to be reduced at the same time. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the housing cover and the housing can be connected to one another by means of a locking frame which surrounds the housing cover and the housing in the region of the housing edge, said locking frame being positionable in closed position by means of translatory motion, in which position it presses the housing cover onto the housing edge.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve a bearing device for rotatably receiving a control element (2) in lines which guide mediums and pertain to a combustion engine with bearing receptacles (10, 11), in such a way that the assembly thereof is simplified. The bearing receptacles rotatably receive the control element and can be fixed in the lines. To resolve the aim of the invention, the bearing receptacles are connected by means of an at least partially elastic connecting element (14) in such a way that said receptacles form a bearing unit (1). The bearing receptacles, together with the connecting element and the inserted flap, are inserted in a receptacle which is provided in the induction pipe.

Abstract: A bodywork part (2) is provided with an integrated antenna arrangement (4) and with a carrier unit (8) on which the antenna arrangement (4) is detachably arranged. This construction permits an antenna to be integrated and replaced easily.

Abstract: The invention relates to a preferably rod-shaped and variable-length connecting element for transmitting traction or pressure forces between at least two points of application of force, from and to assemblies connected to the connecting element, with fastening elements located on the free ends of the connecting element for fastening the connecting element to the assemblies. The invention is based on the object of improving a connecting element of this kind so that it can be assembled more easily and accurately. According to the invention, it is proposed that the connecting element be of essentially two-part design, having a receiving element and a plug-in element that can be inserted into the receiving element in a manner at least permitting longitudinal displacement and that can be fixed in the receiving element in a desired position relative to the receiving element.

Abstract: In order to reduce the throughput times of a manufacturing process and the space required for the manufacturing facilities for a plastic injection molding that is laminated with a textile fabric, a non-woven or the like, particularly a piece of interior trim for an automobile, a process is provided comprising the following steps: loading of a fabric blank, which is coated on a first side facing the injection molding with a plastic film that is thermoformable and, when cooled, dimensionally stable and elastic; preforming the fabric blank into the desired outer contour of the injection molding to be manufactured; inserting the preformed fabric blank into the injection mold; injection-backing the fabric blank with plastic; and ejecting the laminated injection molding.
