Abstract: A connector for connecting without tools two panels has a pot-like housing with a radially outwardly protruding expansion sleeve. A clamping lever supported in the housing pivots about a pivot axis between a non-tensioned starting position and a tensioned end position. A tensioning contour extends eccentrically with respect to the pivot axis. A tension bolt has a bolt shaft, with a first bolt end being a first bolt head which is thickened with respect to the bolt shaft and is in the expansion sleeve. A second bolt end being a second bolt head is thickened with respect to the bolt shaft and is arranged inside the housing. The second bolt head is engaged from behind by the eccentric tensioning contour of the clamping lever in the tensioned starting position and is pulled in the direction away from the expansion sleeve. The expansion sleeve is expanded by the first bolt head.

Abstract: A tightening element for the tool-free tightening of a clamping bolt includes a cylindrical pot-shaped housing having a pot opening. At the end side of the housing opposite the pot opening, at least one handle is pivotably supported about an axis which extends at right-angles to the center axis of the housing between a folded-up position which protrudes from the housing and a folded-down end position which rests against the end side.

Abstract: A device for the electrification of furniture includes at least a first furniture panel, which has, in one of its two panel sides, two parallel grooves and two exposed busbars laid respectively in the two grooves and at least one electric plug for connecting to the two busbars. The plug has two electrical contacts, which are formed as exposed collector contacts on a connecting side of the plug housing and as connection contacts on a front side of the plug housing. The plug is inserted into a bore, interrupting the two grooves, in the one panel side of the first furniture panel. The collector contacts each lie against the two busbars in an electrically conductive manner.

Abstract: A connecting bolt has a bolt shank and a bolt head which has a radially outwardly projecting bolt projection. The bolt head has a latching projection between the bolt shank and the bolt projection on the side opposite the bolt projection.

Abstract: A fitting part for tool-free fastening in a bore in a panel includes a radially outwardly expandable expansion sleeve for insertion into the bore and a fitting housing, which is mounted in the expansion sleeve so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation between a starting rotary position and a final rotary position, has a lever arm which is arranged outside the expansion sleeve and has a latching device, and has an expansion contour which is arranged inside the expansion sleeve and, upon rotation of the fitting housing in the expansion direction of rotation from the starting rotary position to the final rotary position, expands the expansion sleeve radially outwards.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for characterizing a mask for microlithography. In a method according to the invention, structures of a mask intended for use in a lithography process in a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus are illuminated by an illumination optical unit, wherein the mask is imaged onto a detector unit by an imaging optical unit, wherein image data recorded by the detector unit are evaluated in an evaluation unit. In this case, for emulating an illumination setting predefined for the lithography process in the microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, the imaging of the mask onto the detector unit is carried out in a plurality of individual imagings which differ from one another with regard to the illumination setting set in the illumination optical unit or the polarization-influencing effect set in the imaging optical unit.
