  • Patent number: 8316974
    Abstract: An adjustable radiator grill arrangement for a motor vehicle comprises at least one air channel, through which an air flow for the incident flow of a radiator can be guided. The grill arrangement has a first grill element and a second grill element, which are moveable relative to one another, in order to open or to close the air channel. The first grill element comprises a closing edge, which is disposed at a distance from a counter-edge when the air channel is opened and adjacent to the counteredge when the air channel is closed. The first grill element comprises an elastically deformable closing element, which forms the closing edge.

  • Patent number: 8220498
    Abstract: The invention refers to a charge air hose for motor vehicles, comprising: a hose-shaped base member and a textile reinforcement. In a conventional charge air hose the textile reinforcement is embedded into the base member or it is arranged between two layers of the base member. A continuing dynamic load of the conventional charge air hose leads to delamination of the composite. To solve the problems known from the prior art, the invention provides a charge air hose for motor vehicles, comprising: a hose-shaped base member, a textile reinforcement arranged on the surface of the base member, wherein the hose-shaped base member is a vulcanized, elastomer-containing hose.

  • Publication number: 20120153612
    Abstract: A quick-release coupling for fluid lines is disclosed which includes a connector with a connecting piece and at least one connecting pipe transversely projecting from the connecting piece, which connecting piece can be inserted into a receiving opening of a counterpart in a sealing manner and brought into locking engagement with the counterpart. To improve reliability and ease of mounting of a quick-release coupling, a force used to convert a securing device from an unlocking position to a locking position can be larger than a force used to bring the connecting piece into locking engagement with the counterpart.

  • Publication number: 20110005040
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clamp fitting (1) for a hose end (80), comprising a hose clamp (2) and at least one support element (4). The support element (4) comprises a substantially U-shaped section in which the hose source (2) is held. An extension section (10) is located at this U-shaped section, said extension section comprising at least one engagement element (14, 15). The end of the at least one engagement element (14, 15) has sharp edges. The ends can also be designed in pointed fashion. If the clamp fitting is attached to a hose, the engagement elements penetrate the hose by way of these ends. This prevents further slipping of the clamp fitting attached to the hose.
