A plastic clip for attaching a longitudinal element, particularly a fluid line, to a perforated sheet part, particularly a body part of a vehicle. The plastic clip comprises a base portion and a lid portion connectable or hingedly connected to the base portion so as to establish an open configuration or a closed configuration. The base portion has a semi-circular base receptacle for the longitudinal element. The lid portion has a semi-circular lid receptacle for the longitudinal element. The base receptacle and the lid receptacle, in the closed configuration, together form a circular holding portion for the longitudinal element. At least one of the base receptacle and the lid receptacle is provided with a jacket portion which is made from a material that is softer than the material of the respective receptacle. The base portion comprises a support portion from which projects a plastic rivet protrusion adapted to be inserted into a hole of the perforated sheet part.

In embodiments, a connector for setting a layout of a brake hose includes a first coupling member coupled to one end of the brake hose; a second coupling member disposed to be spaced apart from the first coupling member, and coupled to the caliper housing or the frame of the master cylinder; and an adjusting unit connected at one end thereof to the first coupling member, connected at other end thereof to the second coupling member, and configured to adjust a shortest length between a bottom surface of the first coupling member and an outer circumferential surface of the second coupling member and to adjust a line passing through a center of the first coupling member with respect to the second coupling member to be positioned in one of up/down/left/right directions, in a test for setting the layout of the brake hose.

A hydraulic component for braking systems and/or clutch drives may have at least one connector and an eyelet. The component may also have an inlet plug that brings fluid into the block. The component may also have at least one upper seal interposed between an upper surface of the eyelet and a head of the inlet plug. The component may also have at least one bottom seal interposed between a lower surface of the eyelet and a base of the block. Between at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the eyelet and the corresponding head or base a protuberance is interposed, so that in the absence of the corresponding seal, the protuberance creates an interspace allowing the leakage of fluid.

A cuboid hydraulic block of a slip control system of a hydraulic vehicle brake system has a lateral face, an opposite lateral face, at least two long sides, a short side, and an opposite short side. All receptacles for solenoid valves of the slip control system are disposed in the lateral face of the hydraulic block. Receptacles for hydraulic accumulators of the slip control system and connecting bores for a master brake cylinder are disposed in the opposite lateral face of the hydraulic block. Receptacles for hydraulic pumps of the slip control system are disposed in the long sides of the hydraulic block. An electric motor for driving the hydraulic pumps is disposed on the short side of the hydraulic block. Connecting bores for wheel brakes are disposed in the opposite short side of the hydraulic block.

A fluid connector assembly comprising a reversible connector body having female and male end portions. The male end portion having an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the female end portion. The female end portion including an internal bore extending through the female end portion from an annular opening to an inner seat. The male end portion including an internal bore extending from an abutment face at a head end of the male end portion to an opening at the female end portion inner seat. A first tube having a concave flared end installed on the inner seat of the reversible connector body engages a spherical/convex flared end of a second tube installed on the abutting face of another reversible connector body when the male end portion of the another reversible connector body is installed in the female end portion of the reversible connector body.

A valve-arrangement is operable to switch between a bistable-valve (BV) behavior and a relay-valve (RV) behavior to control a parking-brake, and includes a housing with a supply-pressure-inlet (SPI), a service brake-control-inlet (SBCI) to provide a control-pressure, a pressure-outlet, and an exhaust-port, and includes a first-piston and a second-piston both movable along a same direction in the housing to define a first-chamber communicating with the SBCI, a second-chamber between the first-piston and the second-piston, and third chamber communicating with the pressure-outlet and with a controllable connection to the SPI, in which upon the control-pressure the second-piston moves with the first-piston to connect the pressure-outlet with the exhaust-port or with the SPI. The valve arrangement includes a throttle unit adapted, depending on the control-pressure, to connect the second-chamber with the third-chamber to enable the BV behavior or disconnect the second-chamber from the third-chamber to enable the RV behavior.
