Abstract: A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected to one another may have a hollow-cylindrical base element. The device may also have a hollow-cylindrical compensating element which comes into a first threaded engagement with the base element. The device may also have a connecting element extending through a first cavity of the device for connecting the two components. The connecting element comes into a second threaded engagement with one of the components and/or a first nut element. A second nut element is arranged in a recess of the compensating element in such a way that it comes into a third thread engagement with the connecting element. When the connecting element is screwed into one of the components and/or into the first nut element, the second nut element, at least in portions, is axially movable independently of the compensating element and relative thereto.

Abstract: A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected to one another may have a fastening element for fastening to a first component provided with an opening and for connecting the component to a second component. The device may also have at least two axial tolerance compensation stages for compensating axial tolerances between the two components. The at least two axial tolerance compensation stages are each arranged between the fastening element and one of the components.

Abstract: A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected to one another may have a hollow cylindrical base element. The base may also have a hollow cylindrical compensating element which is in thread engagement with the base element and which can be moved out of an initial position into a compensating position by rotation relative to the base element. The device may also have a connecting element extending at least through a first cavity of the device for connecting the two components. The first cavity may have an inner contour in cross section and the connecting element may have an outer contour in cross section. The inner contour may differ from the outer contour in such a way that when the inner contour and the outer contour are oriented concentrically at least one radial overhang is present.

Abstract: A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected to one another, where one of the components is formed from a creep-sensitive material, may have a base element and a compensating element which is in threaded engagement with the base element and which can be moved from a starting position into a compensating position by rotation relative to the base element. The base element is designed as a one-piece, hollow cylindrical element with a base portion and a spacer portion. The spacer portion is pre-positioned or fixable on the component made of the creep-sensitive material such that the spacer portion projects into an opening of the component in a state pre-positioned or fixed on one of the components.

Abstract: A stovetop wok cooking system, including a wok support assembly and a flame focusing ring. The wok support assembly includes a conical shaped fireproof main structure and spaced leg assemblies. The main structure includes a top wok support end portion and a bottom wok support end portion. The top wok support end portion includes a series of spaced bumps thereon to provide clearance for flames, and an upper lip. The bottom wok support end portion has a circular bottom support opening and a rounded rim. A clip is configured to slideably engage the rounded rim. Each leg assembly slides about the top wok support end portion and the bottom wok support end portion during use to an operative position for supporting the wok support assembly on varying stovetop designs. The flame focusing ring is adapted to be placed upon a stovetop and nested within the wok support assembly. In some embodiments the wok has a fixed handle. In other embodiments the wok is adjustably connected to the handle.

Abstract: A vehicle seat (1) is provided with a seat part (2) and a backrest (3), which may be folded from a substantially upright position of use (G) by the action of a spring device (6) into a substantially horizontal loading position (L), a spring force (F1) oriented in the direction of the loading position or a correspondingly oriented torque (M1) being able to be generated when folding forward from the position of use into the loading position by means of the spring device until reaching an intermediate position (A). According to the invention it is provided that a spring force (F2) oriented counter to the direction of the loading position (L) or a corresponding torque (M2) may be generated by means of the spring device (6) when the intermediate position (A) has been passed.

Abstract: A derailleur wheel is disclosed for use with a vehicle utilizing a sprocket chain derailing system. The derailleur wheel has a centrally disposed circular sprocket and first and second circular side faces located on each side of the circular sprocket. A plurality of cleaning brushes are secured to the side faces. The brushes preferably comprise a plurality of tufts of bristles. The cleaning bristles are radially spaced apart and extend in a radially outward direction, thereby resulting in the cleaning of the sprocket chain by the brushing of the bristles against the sprocket chain during use of the vehicle.
