Abstract: The invention relates to a grommet for an electrical connector, an electrical connector assembly, and a method for manufacturing such a connector assembly. The grommet comprises an elastically expandable tube section and a cap-shaped housing section. The tube section comprises a cable receptacle for passing through an electrical cable connected to the electrical connector. The housing section comprises a connector receptacle connected to the cable receptacle for receiving the electrical connector. The grommet forms a seal which surrounds an opening of the housing section facing away from the tube section. The invention is based on the object of configuring the grommet such that the manufacture of the connector assembly, in which the electrical connector is disposed at least in sections in the connector receptacle and the electrical cable is disposed at least in sections in the cable receptacle, can be largely automated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing hoods in the form of hair nets having meshes, creating hoods having a first dimension over the head from front to rear and a second dimension crosswise thereto. A strand (20) of a net having a mesh (23) is created from threads (21). The strand (20) has two longitudinal sides. The number of meshes (23) of the set crosswise to the longitudinal sides corresponds to the number of meshes (11) of the hair net to be produced along the first or second dimension of the hair net. On or neighboring the two longitudinal sides of the strand (20), one elastic thread (22) each is fed into the other meshes (23) of the net. At specified, regular distances, the two elastic threads (22) are guided together and connected to one another.

Abstract: A motor vehicle has a vehicle body and a chassis that has at least one wheel suspension device for two opposing wheel. An adjusting device is assigned to each of the wheels. The adjusting devices are coupled to one another by a stabilizer. At least two stabilizer bearings are provided for rotatable support of the stabilizer, and at least one coupling device is provided on the vehicle body for variable torque support of the stabilizer. Accordingly, a reliable level lifting function is provided, based on a sturdy configuration that is both space-saving and weight-saving. The coupling device for torque support of the stabilizer on the vehicle body may have a switchable blocking device and/or at least one spring mechanism.

Abstract: An inner and an outer spring plate are disposed, in a radially spaced relationship from one another, on a spring strut cylinder. In a first springing position (normal position), the helical spring is supported with a turn region of small diameter against the inner spring plate. In a second springing position (sports position) of the helical spring, the latter is supported with a turn region of larger diameter against the outer spring plate.

Abstract: A wheel suspension for an axle of a motor vehicle has a transverse control arm and tension strut, the transverse control arm being held on the wheel carrier by way of a joint, and the body-side bearings of the transverse control arm and of the tension strut as well as of the connection bearing between the transverse control arm and the tension strut being constructed with a defined characteristic for the elastokinematic adjustment of the wheel under the effect of lateral and peripheral forces acting upon the wheel. The transverse control arm with the connected tension strut is arranged below a wheel drive shaft and--with respect to the driving direction--in front of a tie rod. In the top view, the tension strut extends diagonally toward the front, the transverse control arm and the tie rod having a positive position with respect to one another. They form a wheel steering pole situated outside the track width and behind the wheel center transverse plane.

Abstract: A wheel suspension for an axle of a motor vehicle, particularly a McPherson front axle, has a transverse control arm and a pivotally connected tension strut, the transverse control arm being held on the wheel carrier by way of a joint, and the body-side bearings of the transverse control arm and of the tension strut as well as of the connection bearing between the transverse control arm and the tension strut being constructed with a defined characteristic for the elastokinematic adjustment of the wheel under the effect of peripheral forces acting upon the wheel. The transverse control arm with the connected tension strut is arranged in an approximately horizontal plane and extends below the wheel spin axis approximately in a wheel center transverse plane. The tension strut is pivotally connected to the transverse control arm by way of a connection bearing and extends at an angle diagonally with respect to a longitudinal center axis of the vehicle.

Abstract: For improving the load-change behavior of a motor vehicle when driving through a curve, the motor vehicle is provided with a lockable differential continuously activatable in its locking action. The activation of the locking differential takes place in the first instance in two steps dependent on power output, whereby a velocity-dependent characteristic may be superimposed additionally on this power output-dependent control.

Abstract: A control arrangement for a four-wheel drive vehicle which has at least one gear box or differential with controllable power transmission characteristics having circuitry for producing control signals in response to vehicle operating conditions and parameters. The arrangement allows for control of the distribution of torque to the respective wheels of the vehicle as a function of a selected number of parameters, such as relative or average wheel speed, engine speed, gas pedal or throttle valve angle, etc. The arrangement contemplates the simultaneous control of more than one adjustable gear box or differential as a function of commonly and/or separately sensed parameters.
