Abstract: A multi-point suspension arm for a chassis of a motor vehicle, which has two articulation points (A, B) on the vehicle side and an articulation point (C) on the wheel side for a supporting link (4). The multi-point suspension arm is made as a sheet-metal component. The wheel-side articulation point (C) has a defined angular position (a) relative to the vehicle-side articulation points (A, B).

Abstract: The invention relates to a transverse link (1) having a main body (2), which has at least one first fixing region (3) for pivotal attachment to a vehicle frame element and at least one further fixing region (6) for pivotal attachment to a hub carrier, the main body (2) having at least one wheel limb (8). In order largely to avoid destruction of the journal connection of the transverse link to a hub carrier if the wheel hits a curbstone, for example, the proposal is to provide a transitional region (19), which is arranged between the wheel limb (8) and the further fixing region (6), the transitional region (19) being embodied in such a way that a deformation zone (21) acting in the longitudinal direction (Y) of the wheel limb (8) is formed.

Abstract: A transverse link (1) has a main body (2), which has at least one first fixing region (4) for pivotal attachment to a vehicle frame element. The first fixing region (4) has a journal (9) surrounded by a bearing bush (23). A stop region (19) is arranged proximate the first fixing region (4). The stop region is interrupted when viewed in the circumferential direction, resulting in the formation of diametrically opposite thickened portions (21, 22), which are arranged between the main body (2) and the journal (9) and are embodied in such a way that only forces acting in the lateral and vertical vehicle directions are absorbed when the main body (2) is twisted out of the neutral position thereof, about a vertical axis (Y) of a second fixing region (3).

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a joint (1) with a joint housing (2) and with a joint shell (3) arranged therein with a ball (4), whose pivot pin (5) protrudes from the joint housing (2) and is surrounded by a rubber bellows (6) with a protective cap (7), wherein a ring (8) for holding the protective cap (7) is connected to the edge area (6a) of the rubber bellows (6), which said edge area (6a) concentrically surrounds the pivot pin (5), and wherein the ring (8) has a circular bead (8b, 8c) on its annular outer side (8a) and is vulcanized into the edge area (6a) of the rubber bellows (6), and the protective cap (7) is provided on its inner side (7a) with a plurality of projections (9), which can be bent from the outside through openings (10) in the protective cap (7) by means of a tool (11) radially (arrow 12) in relation to the pivot pin (5) against the bead (8b, 8c) of the ring (8) in a non-positive and positive-locking manner.

Abstract: A joint (1) with a joint housing (2) and with a joint shell (3) is arranged therein with a ball (4) having a pivot pin (5) protruding from the joint housing (2) and surrounded by a rubber bellows (6) with a protective cap (7). A ring (8) for holding the protective cap (7) is connected to the edge area (6a) of the rubber bellows (6). The edge area (6a) concentrically surrounds the pivot pin (5). The ring (8) has a circular bead (8b, 8c) on its annular outer side (8a) and is vulcanized into the edge area (6a) of the rubber bellows (6). The protective cap (7) is provided on its inner side (7a) with a plurality of projections (9), which can be bent from the outside through openings (10) in the protective cap (7) by means of a tool (11) radially (arrow 12) in relation to the pivot pin (5) against the bead (8b, 8c) of the ring (8) in a non-positive and positive locking manner.

Abstract: A test pattern produced by a television signal generator includes picture elements derived at least substantially from helper lines, and vertically adjacent picture elements of substantially different luminance derived at least substantially from the main picture lines, so that the engineer can readily determine by visual inspection whether or not the helper lines are being decoded.
