  • Patent number: 12230919
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connection for transmitting electrical energy by releasable contact, said plug connection comprising at least one plug contact pin and at least one contact socket, the at least one contact socket being received in a plug connector housing and the plug connector housing interacting with a slider which is movable relative thereto, so that the plug connection partners are housed in an inserted and secondarily locked contacting position. At least one detent and support geometry is integrated into the plug contact pin and interacts with the plug connector housing, so that the contacting partners are disconnected from one another when the positions thereof relative to one another are outside the secondary locking position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9109543
    Abstract: An exhaust manifold for an internal combustion engine with exhaust turbocharging and an exhaust gas recirculation device, includes a header pipe with several inflow openings connected with the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine via connecting pieces, and outlet openings branching from the header pipe via connecting branches for the exhaust gas recirculation and the exhaust turbocharger. To achieve a high exhaust gas recirculation rate and an effective pressurization of the exhaust turbocharger with exhaust gas, at least one flow guide element is arranged in the header pipe close to the outlet openings which divides the exhaust gas flow onto the two outlet openings in a targeted manner.

  • Patent number: 7887401
    Abstract: A ventilation valve (2) for heaters (1) or heating installations is provided, with the valve including a holding body (4) and a valve body (5) which can be axially displaced in the holding body (4) and closes a ventilation channel in the initial position and opens the channel after being axially displaced, the course of the ventilation channel (6) deviates from an axial direction and the ventilation channel includes an inlet (7) located inside the heater. The ventilation channel (6) is located in the valve body (5) itself, and the valve body (5) can be axially displaced against a restoring force in relation to the holding body (4), with the inlet (7) being displaced out of the closed position inside the holding body (4) into the heater, after an axial displacement, and the valve body (5) and the holding body (4) can be adjusted in relation to each other in a rotational direction.
