Abstract: An air vent is provided that is capable of delivering a distributed divergent air flow with a predominant direction of flow that can be changed within a wide range of mutually perpendicular directions. In one embodiment, the air vent has an outlet grid that is generally ball shaped and that is rotatably mounted at an end of an air duct for rotation about its center. Each of the multiple outlet openings of the grid points to a direction that is different from pointing directions of all other outlet openings so that a divergent air flow is obtained. By rotating the ball shaped grid about its center, the predominant direction of air flow can nevertheless be changed in a within a wide range.

Abstract: An electric plug connector has two separate contact members. Each of the contact members has a first pair of parallel elongate webs spaced from each other and a second pair of elongate webs that extend in the same plane perpendicular to the first pair of webs. The first and second contact members are assembled so that the first pairs of webs of both contact members are aligned to define a first flat plug-in channel and the second pairs of webs of both contact members are spaced from each other and face each other to define a second flat plug-in channel perpendicular to and crossing the first plug-in channel. The two separate contact members are held in an assembled condition by a holding member tightly surrounding the contact members.

Abstract: An electromotive drive is provided, especially for the pump of a power-assisted steering system of a motor vehicle. The drive includes a housing (3) with a bearing journal (15) in which the shaft (18) of a rotor (9) is rotationally mounted. The drive also includes a stator (7) having drive windings. The bearing journal (15) extends through said stator and supports it. The stator (7) is supported by the bearing journal (15), substantially in the transversal direction only. The stator (7) is coupled with the remaining housing (3) in a rotationally fixed manner, so as to transmit the engine torque. The arrangement dramatically reduces disturbing noises which occur especially when the motor is operated at full load and which are caused by relatively high-frequency torque variations.
