  • Publication number: 20230243449
    Abstract: A plug-type coupling for connecting first and second fluid lines or a sub-assembly, which are designed with a mating plug-type coupling. The plug-type coupling including a housing including a sleeve section with a receiving channel (8) for axially receiving an adapter sleeve. The adapter sleeve being removably held in a positive-locking manner. The adapter sleeve includes a through-opening for a plug shaft of the mating plug-type coupling and a retaining means for removable attachment of the mating plug-type coupling. In an assembled state, the retaining means axially blocks the mating plug-type coupling with respect to the assembly axis. A locking element is arranged on an outer circumference of the sleeve section and is axially movable from a release position, which releases the retaining means, into a locking position, which locks the retaining means. In the release position, the locking element is fixed against axial movement into the locking position.

  • Patent number: 8967646
    Abstract: An axle suspension for a vehicle axle guided by a trailing arm and also, furthermore, an axle lift for a vehicle axle are proposed. The axle lift includes a force element (11), a pressure transmission means (18, 20) which is movable towards an axle link (5) of the vehicle axle by actuation of the force element, and a bracket (12). The bracket (12) is provided with a supporting means (10) for the force element (11) and the pressure reaction forces acting on the latter and, in addition, for the fastening to a support (2) is provided with a bracket part (31), on which a plug-in or hook connection (36A) for engagement in the support (2) is formed. With the aim of being able to fit the bracket (12) in a fixed basic setting on the support (2) with just a few actions, it is proposed that the bracket part (31), at a distance from the plug-in or hook connection (36A) thereof, is provided with at least one further connecting means (33), which is designed for engagement in the support (2).
