Abstract: A fastening device for a steering column module of a vehicle includes a housing bottom (30) coupled to an essentially tubular fastening flange (20), which module is mounted on the steering column jacket (10) of a steering spindle. The fastening flange (20) has at least one radially movable arresting block (40, 40?), which, in a fastening position of the fastening flange (20), engages in a corresponding radial recess (12, 12?) of the steering column jacket (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a reed contact unit (1) for electric switching functions, comprising a metallic contact blank (2) featuring a base (3) with at least one contact arm (5) configured integral with it, and comprising an electrically non-conducting frame part (7) accommodating fixedly the base (3) of the contact blank (2). To avoid deformations and damage to the contact arms (5) of the reed contact units (1) when used in bulk, at least one of the long sides (12) and the front end (9) of the contact arm (5) are surrounded by at least one frame shank (8) configured integral with the frame part (7), the front end (9) of the contact arms (5) being fixable releasably in the frame shank (8).

Abstract: A ships propulsion transmission system with at least one engageable friction clutch (10, 18) in the drive line between the ship engine (28, 30) and propeller (26), characterized by a device (20, 70, 6, 14, 76, 108) for setting the operating pressure of the friction clutch (10, 18) during the starting up process time-dependent and sequentially so that the operating pressure during the starting up process, is at least once, at a peak level and then subsequently is at a lower intermediate level, before it then is held at the final level.
