  • Patent number: 11387592
    Abstract: The invention relates to a charging connection element (1) of a vehicle (10), for connection to a charging apparatus, comprising a charging socket (2) for receiving electrical connectors (14), and comprising a sealing element (3) for sealing off the charging socket (2) from other components of the vehicle (10), wherein the charging socket (2) has a first latching element (4) and the sealing element (3) has a second latching element (5), wherein the first latching element (4) and the second latching element (5) can be latched relative to one another in a large number of different latching positions in order to prevent the charging socket (2) and the sealing element (3) from becoming detached, and wherein different distances between the charging socket (2) and the sealing element (3) are defined by the different latching positions.

  • Patent number: 9032716
    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a tank for storing a liquid reducing agent suppliable to the exhaust system of an internal-combustion engine, and an air delivery device, by which an excess pressure can be built-up in a cushion of air situated in the tank above the reducing agent level. Via the air delivery device, alternatively, a vacuum is generatable in the air cushion, which vacuum supports feeding of the agent into the tank. Via the vacuum in the air cushion, reducing agent can also be returned from a pipe, which leads the reducing agent to the exhaust system, back into the tank, and/or additional liquid reducing agent can be transferred from a storage tank by way of a supply duct.
