Abstract: A connection apparatus and an arrangement for a motor vehicle may be provided for a double-shearing connection of a drive train component to a body and to a support structure. A support element of the connection apparatus may have a first interface to connect the support element to the support structure of a motor vehicle component. The support element may have a second interface to connect the support element to an auxiliary frame of the drive train component. An auxiliary frame screw of the connection apparatus may be constructed to connect the auxiliary frame at the lower side to the second interface of the support element and at the upper side to the body.

Abstract: A plate-clamping apparatus suitable for automatic exchanges of plates and has only a narrow clamping channel. The apparatus includes a tie beam, which has clamping bodies that are elastic in the clamping direction and on the ends of which radial forces can be applied by actuating devices, that is elastically disposed in the cylinder groove.

Abstract: A light device for vehicles has a housing mountable on a vehicle part and a light adjustably received in the housing. The housing is provided with a region which is curved in an adjustment direction of the light and the light abuts against the region. At least one mounting element extends through the housing and fixes the light so that when the mounting element is released, the light is displaceable inside the housing along the curved region, and a control element is arranged outside of the housing and follows an adjusting movement of the light. The control element is provided with indicating means for indicating an orientation of an optical axis of the light.

Abstract: An illumination device, particularly for motor vehicles, has a housing, at least one support part, a plurality of semi-conductor light sources arranged in the support part and provided with electrical connection means for connecting the semi-conductor light sources with a voltage source. The support part has a plurality of separate support members arranged in the housing. Each of the separate support members carries only some of the semi-conductor light sources and is releasably insertable into the housing independently of other support members.

Abstract: The vehicle lamp includes a reflector; a light source; and a lens plate having an inner surface facing the reflector and provided with optical elements for deflecting light beams reflected from the reflector. Each of the optical elements is constructed so that the light beams passing therethrough are deflected in each case in a horizontal direction and/or a vertical direction so as to produce a prescribed light distribution identical for all optical elements. Each of the optical elements is subdivided into a number of subprisms having flat surfaces extending tangentially to an envelope of an inner surface of theoptical element. Each of the subprisms is assigned to a region of the light distribution and has a surface determined by an amount of light assigned to the region of the light distribution.

Abstract: A lamp for a motor vehicle has a light source and a reflector for reflecting light rays generated by the light source. The reflector has a body formed at least partially by rotation of a parabolic generatrice by a predetermined angle about a focal point of the reflector. The lamp includes a diffusing plate that covers the light exit aperture of the reflector and directs light rays emitted from the reflector substantially parallel to the optical axis of the reflector.

Abstract: On the cooling roll with outer roll shell 7 and inner, preforated roll shell 8 of an inner body 6, the inner body features endways and centrally at least one distributing component 22. Extending through this distributing component are channels 19 that are parallel with the roll axis, for one, and interposed radial channels 28 which, for one, serve the connection of an endwise space 14 that is located between an axial end of the inner body and the hollow roll end with one of the coaxial supply or drain channels of the journal 20 and, for another, serve the connection of the interior space 3 of the inner body 6 with one of the other coaxial supply and drain channels 25, 26 or vice versa.

Abstract: The contact probe arrangement includes a stack of perforated plates (1, 1a) through which extend a plurality contact probes. The stack of perforated plates consists of two kinds of plates. The first kind forms the lowermost plates (1a). They have circular or square holes permitting a vertical placing of the contact probes onto the contact pads (4) of the device (5) to be tested. The plates (1) of the second kind have oblong, rectangular, square, circular, elliptical or trapezoidal holes (3). With respect to the stacked plates of the second kind, alternate ones are offset against the two other adjacent plates which are aligned relative to each other, in such a manner that each contact probe is surrounded by part of the lower edge of the upper of two adjacent perforated plates, and part of the upper edge of the lower of two adjacent perforated plates. If axial stress is applied, the contact probe can thus not buckle any farther than to a part of the perforation wall limiting its maximum buckling.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a rack, specially a rack having variable transmission, wherein the teeth of the rack have in the central area a profile different from that of the outer portions. The rack is formed from a blank in a press having an upper die and a lower die. The rack is manufactured by cold-mold pressing and one die portion carries out, during the pressing operations, a wobbling movement over the blank. In an apparatus for carrying out the process, a die forms the negative mold for the lower portion of the rack to be manufactured. In the other die is molded in negative mold the toothed profile of the rack to be manufactured.

Abstract: A suction head or a pick-up roll in a paper machine is mounted on a pivotable lever and is movable therewith between an operative position, an intermediate position at a short distance from the operative position, and a retracted position at a substantial distance from the operative position by two hydraulic cylinder and piston units whose cylinders are articulately connected to the frame and whose piston rods are articulately connected to the lever. The piston rods are rigid with first pistons, and each unit further comprises an annular second piston which surrounds the respective piston rod. Admission of pressurized fluid into a first chamber of each cylinder results in movement of the second pistons from first to second positions to thereby move the lever from operative to intermediate position through the medium of the first pistons and piston rods.
