Abstract: A hood for a vehicle includes an outer part, an inner part and a reinforcement element having at least one area arranged between the outer part and the inner part. The reinforcement element has at least one mount configured in the form of a bracket to connect the reinforcement element with the inner part. A first fastening element is supported by the at least one bracket for attachment of a component.

Abstract: The hub/blade junction of each rotor blade is placed with respect to the scalloping surface (F1+F2) such that this surface is supported as symmetrically as possible by the rotor blade. The turbine wheel with three-dimensionally curved rotor blades has scalloping in the area of the hub rear wall, and in consequence is subject to reduced stresses caused by scalloping deformation.

Abstract: The guide-vane system serves to change the position of the guide vanes of an axial-flow exhaust-gas turbine of a turbocharger. The guide vanes are arranged axially symmetrically to the turbine axis in a flow passage carrying exhaust gas and can be pivoted by a pivoting device in each case about a radially directed axis. A vane shank led radially outward from the flow passage through a casing wall is attached to each of the guide vanes. With its part directed outward, the vane shank is mounted so as to be rotatable about the pivot axis. The pivoting device contains an adjusting ring, arranged outside the flow passage and rotatable about the turbine axis, and also an adjusting lever which transmits a torque from the adjusting ring to the vane shank of each guide vane. The adjusting ring is mounted with its outside on rolling elements which are each designed as one-armed levers and are mounted so as to be pivotable on a component of a casing wall, this component being designed as a supporting ring.

Abstract: The guide-vane system (5) serves to change the position of the guide vanes (6) of an axial-flow exhaust-gas turbine of a turbocharger. The guide vanes (6) are arranged axially symmetrically to the turbine axis (1) in a flow passage (14) carrying exhaust gas (15) and can be pivoted by a pivoting device in each case about a radially directed axis (8). A vane shank (18) led radially outward from the flow passage (14) through a casing wall is attached to each of the guide vanes (6). With its part directed outward, the vane shank (18) is mounted so as to be rotatable about the pivot axis (8). The pivoting device contains an adjusting ring (19), arranged outside the flow passage (14) and rotatable about the turbine axis (1), and also an adjusting lever (20) which transmits a torque from the adjusting ring (19) to the vane shank (18) of each guide vane (6).

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a nozzle ring for the exhaust-gas turbine of a turbocharger which, in addition to an improved service life, also guarantees a constant efficiency.According to the invention, this is achieved in that an radial expansion gap (20) is formed between the turbine casing (2) and the nozzle ring (11), and at least one seal (22) is arranged in the expansion gap (20). To this end, an encircling groove (21) accommodating the seal (22) is formed in at least one of the fastening elements (16, 17) of the nozzle ring (11) or in at least one of the components (3, 4, 5) which surround the fastening elements (16, 17).
