Abstract: The invention concerns a spindle drive for a closing element (3) of a motor vehicle (4), wherein in a drive train (14) of the spindle drive (1), a drive unit (5) is provided together with a spindle-nut gear (11) located drivingly downstream of the drive unit (5), with geometric spindle axis (A) running in the axial direction (X), in order to generate linear drive movements of a spindle-side drive connection (12a) relative to a nut-side drive connection (12b) between a retracted position and an extended position of the spindle drive (1), wherein in the drive train (14) a nominal break point (17) is provided which separates the drive train (14) at a predetermined axial limit load acting on the spindle drive (1) via the drive connections (12a, 12b), in particular a tensile load in the direction of the extension position. It is proposed that the drive train (14) is separated via the nominal break point (17) between the drive unit (5) and the spindle-nut gear (11).

Abstract: An unenclosed electric traction machine has a stator built up from a stator laminated core, and a rotor shaft with a rotor, mounted on the latter, built up from a rotor laminated core, wherein the stator laminated core is arranged between two outer pressing plates, and at least one bearing shield, which in each case has a bearing for the rotor shaft. Along a section of the periphery of the stator laminated core, and spaced apart from the stator laminated core, at least one cover, designed as a tension bar between the pressing plates, is arranged between the pressing plates so as to form at least one cooling box, with a base on the surface of the stator laminated core, wherein the at least one intermediate space between the base and the at least one cover of the cooling box is designed for the routing of a cooling fluid.

Abstract: An inflatable separating region for a vehicle interior, in particular for a passenger cabin of an aircraft, includes a supporting structure with interconnected inflatable tubes made of a flexible material and arranged, in an inflated state, to form a self-supporting frame structure for the separating region; and a covering with flexible wall membranes which connect the inflatable tubes to one another in a planar manner to separate off the separating region in the inflated state from the vehicle interior.

Abstract: The present invention is of a wall to wall drain assembly. The drain assembly comprise of a floor grill, at least one removable end cap, a drain channel, and a drain. The drain assembly may be affixed to a predetermined shower length. The shower dimensions may be of at least thirty inches in length and at most eighty-four inches in length. The drain assembly may require at most two slopes to be installed in a shower floor compartment.
