Abstract: A vehicle having a B-pillar, a side-sill arrangement into which the B-pillar extends and a transverse reinforcement that extends in the transverse direction to above the side-sill arrangement and adjacent to a lower end of the B-pillar, is characterized in that a plate-like impact element arranged in the longitudinal direction and upright, is connected on an inside side outer end of transverse reinforcement.

Abstract: A cleaning device for a bundle of tubular filter elements designed with one end open, preferably of an industrial dust filter, is proposed. Injectors for delivery of a pulse-like compressed-air jet into the filter elements are arranged above the openings of the filter elements. The compressed-air supply of the injectors, controlled via valves, takes place via a number of nozzle tubes extending at right angles to the injectors, and a number of injectors are connected in a row to each nozzle tube. Only some of the nozzle tubes are connected directly to valves and these nozzle tubes extend to a deflection, from which at least one further nozzle tube closed at its end extends in the opposite direction. The deflection is preferably at the same time a branching from which two nozzle tubes extend, which are located on the two sides of the centrally arranged nozzle tube.

Abstract: A convertible vehicle is equipped with a tailgate (2), which is provided in the rear region of the vehicle and is supported at the vehicle body so that it can be swiveled, on the one hand, by a movement (arrow A) about a first front swiveling axis (4) into a first open position, which opens up the trunk (6) to the rear and, on the other, by a movement (arrow B) about a second rear swiveling axis (7; 7′) into a second open position, opening up in the upward direction the compartment (8) for a folding top (3). Pursuant to the invention, the rear support of the tailgate (2) is formed by at least one closing device (12, 12′) with a supporting body (11), which is hinged over a hinge unit (10) at the tailgate (2) and can be introduced with its free end region into an accommodating body (14), which is attached to the body of the vehicle, and can be fixed in this connection position by a locking element (15).
