At least one front-face sealing body is positioned adjacent the covering body and has a circumferential, U-shaped sealing groove. A ring seal in inserted into the sealing groove of the sealing body. The ring seal has an L-shaped cross-section and has a first leg that received within the sealing groove of the sealing body and a second leg having a tapered course on both sides broadening towards the first leg. A straining ring fastens the ring seal between the flange of the covering body and the sealing groove of the sealing body.

Abstract: An exhaust system of an internal-combustion engine (1) having an exhaust gas purification arrangement (3, 5) as well as a storage container (8) which can be evacuated and into which at least a portion of the internal-combustion engine exhaust gas flow can be introduced for a defined time period, particularly after a start of the internal-combustion engine. In addition to a stop valve (10), which maintains the vacuum in the storage container when the internal-combustion engine is stopped, a vacuum pump (18) is provided for evacuating the storage container. A stop flap (6) is provided in the exhaust system downstream of the exhaust gas purification arrangement. In a branch pipe (7) guiding the internal-combustion engine exhaust gas flow to the storage container (8), a control valve (9) may be provided for controlling the flow of exhaust gas to the storage container.

Abstract: A cable sleeve consisting of two seal members with adjustable cable entry openings and an integrated cable clamping apparatus. The adjusting in the cable entry opening occurs by removal of concentric adjusting rings, wherein the number of adjusting rings removed and the strength of the sealing wrapper applied are determined with the aid of a template.

Abstract: A seal insert with a rectangular cross-section is made of elastic plastic material to form seals between a seal body and a circumferential cable sleeve body. The seal insert has a longitudinally extending cavity in the center of the insert and longitudinal channels in each of the corner regions of the seal insert that extend parallel to the cavity.

Abstract: A plug connection for connecting a light waveguide to a plug has a plug member with a connecting light waveguide extending from one side thereof having an end being spliced to a light waveguide of a light waveguide cable and at least one strain relief element being passed over the splice and connected to the plug member. The method of forming the plug connection includes providing a sufficient length of both the connecting light waveguide extending from the plug member and the light waveguide of the cable so that a connection in a normal, known splicing apparatus can be obtained outside of the position of the plug member and then conducting the strain relief element over the splice region and connecting it to the plug member.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a hood sleeve which is formed from a sealing body and a hood body these two parts being held together with the aid of a mechanical retaining device, initially without a sealing effect.

Abstract: The two cylinder groups of an internal-combustion engine each have a separate exhaust gas catalyst. When one of these cylinder groups is shut off by preventing the supply of fuel, it is possible that the assigned exhaust gas catalyst may be cooled below its operating temperature. In order to avoid this, the whole exhaust gas system is constructed in such a manner that the gases emitted from the shut-off cylinder group are heated by the exhaust gases of the continuously fired cylinder group.
