According to one embodiment a plug-in connector is provided that includes a female connector and a male connector. The female connector includes a head configured for being connected to the male connector and a body fixed to the head which is configured for being attached to a pipe/hose. A contact area comprising a line of contact communicated with the inside of the female connector is defined between the head and the body. The plug-in connector also includes a sealing gasket configured for assuring leak-tightness between the female connector and the male connector, the line of contact being arranged in a previous axial position with respect to at least part of the sealing gasket in the direction of insertion of the male connector into the female connector, such that the sealing gasket itself also assures the leak-tightness in the line of contact.

An impeller of a centrifugal fan includes multiple blades arranged annularly around a rotational axis, a main plate, a shroud, main plate-side welded portions between main plate-side blade axial ends of the blades and the main plate, and shroud-side welded portions between shroud-side blade axial ends of the blades and the shroud. The main plate is arranged opposite to main plate-side blade axial ends. The shroud is arranged opposite to shroud-side blade axial ends. The main plate-side welded portions have main plate-side welding holes that are recesses extending through the main plate to portions of the main plate-side blade axial ends. The shroud-side welded portions have shroud-side welding holes that are recesses extending through the shroud to portions of the shroud-side blade axial ends.

A mounting device for joining a display protector (1) to a display (2) of an apparatus includes a contact element (3) on which the display protector (1) is positionable and which has a first leg (3a) with a first alignment portion (311a) on which the display protector (1) can be aligned in a first direction, and a second leg (3b) with a second alignment portion (311b) on which the display protector (1) can be aligned in a second direction. In addition, the mounting device includes a leg connecting portion (39) that connects the two legs (3a, 3b) at a fixed angle. Furthermore, the mounting device includes at least a first and at least a second positioning member (4) having a coupling portion (44) which can be coupled to the legs (3a, 3b), and a positioning portion (40) which is aligned with respect to the first alignment portion (311a) and with respect to the second alignment portion (311b) when the first positioning member (4) is coupled to the first leg (3a) and the second positioning member (4) is coupled to the second leg (3b), wherein the apparatus can be brought into contact with at least one positioning portion (40) for alignment in order to align the apparatus and the display protector (1) with respect to each other.

A method for manufacturing a valve unit includes fixing a first flow channel member and a flexible member to one another, the first flow channel member including a first surface, a second surface and a through-hole passing through the first surface and the second surface, in a manner in which the flexible member is supported by a fixing member and the through-hole is covered at the first surface side thereof by the flexible member; and fixing the first flow channel member and a second flow channel member, the second flow channel member including a hole through which a valve body passes, in a manner in which the through-hole is in communication with the hole at the second surface side of the through-hole, the valve body configured to open and close a flow channel in communication with the through-hole according to displacement of the flexible member.

A functional element of metal having a flange of larger diameter from an attachment surface and a centering section arranged inside the attachment surface and extending away from the flange, characterized in that an adhesive is arranged around the cylindrical section and adjacent to the attachment surface.

A welding head comprises a welding element (51) for welding a lid (1) to an opening device of a container (10). The welding head (43) further comprises a 5 compensating device (62) operable for compensating a misalignment between the welding element (51) and the lid (1), thereby centering the welding element (51) relative to the lid (1).

A profiling device, a profiling method, a bonding system, a bonding method, and a display device are provided. The profiling device includes a profiling jig. The profiling jig includes an attaching surface. The attaching surface is switchable between a planar state and a profiling state, and the attaching surface is a planar surface in the case that the attaching surface is in the planar state, and the attaching surface is a profiling surface in the case that the attaching surface is in the profiling state.

Methods and apparatus for tooling in layered structures for increased joint performance are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes placing a tool onto a first substrate to define an impression in the first substrate, curing the first substrate, removing the tool from the first substrate to define a joint interface corresponding to the impression, and coupling, at the joint interface, the first substrate to a second substrate.

A vacuum generator for fuel tank ventilation may include a fluid feed-through body having at least two plastic parts, in particular plastic shells. The fluid feed-through body may have an overpressure conduit section connectable to an overpressure source, in particular downstream of a turbo charger and downstream of a throttle valve of a motor vehicle engine, an intake conduit section connectable to the fuel tank and a delivery conduit section connectable to a motor vehicle engine, and a venturi nozzle into which the overpressure conduit section opens. The intake conduit section may open into a vacuum side of the venturi nozzle. At least the venturi nozzle may be made of a plastic piece.
