  • Patent number: 11859530
    Abstract: An equalizing tank for a cooling circuit of a motor of a motor vehicle has a tank top piece, on which an inlet line for a coolant is arranged, and a tank bottom piece, on which an outlet line for the coolant is arranged. The inlet line for the coolant is configured as a separate structural unit from the tank top piece, having an outlet opening situated in the region of the tank bottom piece.

  • Patent number: 10627308
    Abstract: A wind tunnel device defines a cyclical tunnel to receive continuous airflow. Airflow is delivered through the tunnel to a testing region that includes a first portion carrying an arm including a spray tip configured to spray particulates in the testing region at an angle, and a second portion including an enlarged cutout region configured to receive the angled sprayed particulates. As airflow carries the angled spray particulates into the second portion, the enlarged cutout region enables the spray particulates to pass through and exit the second portion of the testing region. Analysis in the second region may be conducted through transparent walls free of openings to minimize exposure of the spray particulates to the exterior of the device. A scrubber is adapted to extract spray mist from the airflow as the airflow exits the testing region and is re-circulated through the cyclical tunnel.

  • Publication number: 20140173811
    Abstract: Unit composed of helmet and goggles, comprising a helmet cap and an eye protection element that is configured so as to be placed in front of the wearer's face. The upper edge of the eye protection element is adapted to the profile of the lower front edge of the helmet cap. A magnetic device is arranged on the two edges and has a first series of permanent magnets which are rigidly connected to one of the two edges and interact, by magnetic attraction, with complementary elements that are provided on the opposite edge. This front magnetic connection area between the two edges furthermore comprises tilt orientation means of the goggles for adjusting the contact with the face.

  • Patent number: 7246674
    Abstract: A assembly support (33) of a front end of a motor vehicle is proposed, having at least one cooling module (1) which is detachably fixed to the assembly support (33) by means of at least two connecting points (9, 15; 11, 13). The assembly support (33) is characterized in that one of the connecting points (9; 11) is embodied as a pivot bearing (17; 19), and in that the other of the connecting points (13; 15) is embodied as a clip connection (21; 23). In addition, a method for detachably fixing a cooling module (1) to a assembly support (33) of a front end of a motor vehicle is proposed.
