Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising a first component (11) and a second component (12). The first component (11) comprises a cylindrical outer surface (13), and the second component (12) comprises a cylindrical inner surface (17) which is arranged on the outer surface (13) coaxially with a longitudinal central axis (m). First connection surfaces of the first component interact with second connection surfaces of the second component in order to prevent a relative rotational movement of the components (11, 12). The invention is characterized in that one of the connection surfaces forms a retaining toothing (22), and the other connection surface forms mutually spaced longitudinal protrusions (18) which are distributed over the circumference and the tooth flanks of which extend parallel to the longitudinal central axis (m).

Abstract: A coating method is provided with the steps of dipping of containers filled with the parts to be coated, having a pierced container wall, into a section of a reservoir filled with a coating liquid, lifting the containers filled with the parts to be coated out from the coating liquid and dispersing and/or spinning off the excess coating liquid remaining on the parts being coated after they are lifted out. During dispersing and/or spinning, the container filled with the parts being coated is rotated about an axis of rotation situated inside the container filled with the parts being coated and at least for a time about an axis of rotation situated outside the container and running parallel to the axis of rotation situated inside the container.

Abstract: A drive for a motor-vehicle accessory has a drive motor, a controller that regulates the drive motor, and a sensor associated with the drive motor and that measures the motor speed of the drive motor and transmits to the controller a signal having a pulse rate corresponding to the motor speed. A pulse-rate modifier between the sensor of the drive motor and the controller serves to modify the pulse rate received from the drive motor in such a way that this rate is within a range of the pulse rate processable by the controller and to transmit a modified value of the pulse rate to the controller.
