  • Publication number: 20170174050
    Abstract: An air filter for a ventilation device of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The air filter has a planar extension along which the air filter is able to be inserted into a flow area of the ventilation device transversely relative to a flow direction and has a filter medium arranged along its planar extension. The filter medium is bordered at least in certain regions by at least one frame wall. The frame wall has at least one section which is able to be brought into engagement with guide elements of the ventilation device in order to guide the air filter during insertion into the flow area. The section is a notch on an edge of the frame wall and is formed with an undercut relative to the edge such that the air filter is able to be braced transversely relative to the insertion direction during insertion in two directions.

  • Publication number: 20160375875
    Abstract: A connection arrangement to connect a wiper blade to a wiper arm is disclosed. A connection element includes an upper part formed to fasten the connection element to the wiper arm, on which upper part a lower part formed to hold a basic body of the wiper blade is mounted to be pivotable around a rotational axis. A slider encloses the wiper arm in an end region, where the slider is able to move along the wiper arm from an assembly position into a functional position securing the connection element. A securing element prevents a movement of the slider into the assembly position during a pivot movement of the lower part around the rotational axis by a first value and allows the movement of the slider into the assembly position if the lower part is pivoted by a second value which is greater than the first value.

  • Publication number: 20150151719
    Abstract: A wiper blade for a windscreen wiper system of a vehicle includes a connection element with an upper part formed to fix the connection element to a wiper arm of the windscreen wiper system. A lower part supporting a base body of the wiper blade is mounted to rotate around an axis of rotation on the upper part. The connection element is able to be brought into a functional position that allows the wiping of the windscreen, in which at least one latch element arranged on the upper part is locked in place with a counterpart provided on the sides of the wiper arm. Due to the movement of the lower part relative to the upper part, the at least one latch element is able to be brought into an unlocked position, in which the connection element is able to be released by the wiper arm.

  • Publication number: 20150055893
    Abstract: An all-in-one gift bag with decorative closure built in to the bag is disclosed. My invention should reduce the cost to the consumer because there is no need to buy tissue paper separately anymore. It will also save the consumer time because they won't have to shop the aisle for multiple items.

  • Publication number: 20060293928
    Abstract: A system and method are provided to recommend at least one insurance plan (e.g., a health insurance plan) to a user via a computer network. In an embodiment, the method includes presenting at least one question to a user via a client device. The question may be for identification of at least one insurance plan and an answer to the question. A database may be investigated to identify a subsequent question associated with the answer provided to the first question by the user, wherein the subsequent question also being for identification of the at least one insurance plan. Thereafter, the subsequent question is presented to the user and a subsequent answer to the subsequent question is then received. Investigating the database to identify a subsequent question and receiving the subsequent answer is iteratively performed in a dynamic and interactive way to identify the at least one insurance plan.
