  • Patent number: 7284774
    Abstract: A plug-in coupling for connecting a fluid line with a pipe having a circumferential holding rib includes a pipe piece with a first end portion connectable to the fluid line and a second end portion which can be plugged together with the pipe, wherein the second end portion is connectable to a first coupling ring part of a coupling ring and is connected through elastic holding arms to a non-circular elastically expandable second coupling ring part. The second coupling ring part has locking sections which are distributed over a predetermined circumferential angle range of a circumference of the pipe piece. When the pipe and pipe piece are plugged together, the locking sections slide over the holding rib and expand the second coupling ring part and engage behind the holding rib, wherein the components located between the locking sections of the second coupling ring part are arched outwardly.

  • Patent number: 6881933
    Abstract: A heating device includes an electrical heat source for heating a fluid in a fluid line of a motor vehicle, and a heat conducting device which is in connection with the heat source. The heat conducting device is connected with a hose clamp for connecting the heat conducting device to the fluid line. The heat conducting device may include a metal strip, the one end of which is in contact with the heat source and the other end is connected to the clamp. This metal strip facilitates the heat transfer from the heat source through the clamp to the fluid line.
