Abstract: There is proposed a heating conductor for a radiant heating body of a cooking hob, which is substantially formed from heating limbs (2) which are cut out of a metal foil or sheet in a geometrical pattern and inserted between the cooking hob and an insulating bottom (20). The heating limbs (2) have holding tongues (1) for fixing the heating limbs in holding portions (5) of the radiant heating body or in portions of the insulating bottom (20). The holding tongues (1) have substantially integrated fixing devices. Also described are certain advantageous arrangements and configurations of the heating conductors.

Abstract: A shifting device for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle is presented, which has two shift gates, wherein the first shift gate is an automatic shift gate and the second shift gate is a step-by-step shift gate. A selector lever support is mounted with the selector lever pivotably around the selector axis. The selector lever support accommodates the selector lever pivotably around a shifting axis and can be caused by a locking pin to mesh with a complementary recess of the housing.

Abstract: A heating element with a radiant heating body for glass ceramic hobs, including four heating conductors which extend substantially concentrically and parallel to each other; and a ten-stage switch for switching said heating conductors through the intermediary of five output terminals.

Abstract: A shifting device for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle has a first automatic shifting gate and a second, step-by-step shifting gate. A two-part selector lever is provided including a selector lever upper part and a selector lever lower part accommodating same. The selector lever is mounted rotatably in each of the two shifting gates via a separate shifting axis. The connection between the selector lever upper part and the selector lever lower part is engaged or disengaged by changing from one shifting gate to the other.
