Abstract: A pull-out hose device includes a hose box with a box housing, a pull-out hose held on the box housing to be pulled out and having at least one hose bend accommodated in the box housing, and a fluid connector for the pull-out hose. According to an illustrative embodiment, the hose box has a box holding frame to which the box housing is removably attachable in a mounting direction and is detachable therefrom in a demounting direction. The fluid connector includes a first connector part disposed on the box housing, to which connector part the pull-out hose is connected with one hose end, and a second connector part disposed on the box holding frame. The first and the second connector parts are connectable to each other in a fluid-tight manner in the mounting direction and are disconnectable from each other in the demounting direction.

Abstract: A radiator thermostat (1) to be fitted onto a radiator valve (4) is provided. The radiator thermostat (1) has a transmission element (5, 105, 205) that transmits a compressive force to the valve pin (8) of the radiator valve. An electric motor (12) is provided to drive the transmission element (5, 105, 205). The transmission element (5, 105, 205) is preloaded with a counter force (F2) that acts in opposition to the valve force (F1) using a spring (18; 20; 32). Thus, when moving the transmission element (5, 105, 205), the motor (12) has only to overcome the differential force (df).

Abstract: An electromechanical energy converter (1) is provided that can convert mechanical vibration energy into electrical energy. For this purpose, the energy converter (1) has a housing (2) in which a coil (12) and a permanent magnet (15) are disposed moveable with respect to each other, the coil (12) lying within the magnetic field of the magnet (15). To fully utilize the entire field intensity of the magnet (15), flux guides (18) are disposed at the poles of the magnet (15) that divert the magnetic flux lines (17) substantially in the direction of the coil (12).
