Disclosed is a fastening aid for fastening components to a carrier component, in particular a body of a motor vehicle. The fastening aid includes a plate-shaped carrier body composed of a hard component having a fastening side and an attachment side, wherein the attachment side is the side with which the fastening aid is attached to the carrier component. The fastening aid further comprises a soft component provided on the attachment side, wherein the soft component is made from an adhesive material activatable through the carrier body. A fastening element is arranged on the fastening side, which can be connected to a counter-fastening element of a component.
The disclosure relates to a kinematics module (1) for an air diffuser of a vehicle. The kinematics module (1) can be accommodated as a modular component at least partly or in certain regions in an air diffuser housing, preferably to be possible to be replaced, in order to form the air diffuser.
The present disclosure discloses a sealing plug, comprising a sealing cover, a sealant and a bracket. The sealing cover is connected to the bracket to sandwich the sealant between the sealing cover and the bracket, and the sealant is at least partially received in a receiving space of the sealing cover. In the sealing plug of the present disclosure, the sealing cover and the bracket are two separate parts, and are then connected together by a connection process such as riveting, and the sealant can be sandwiched between the sealing cover and the bracket. In addition, the sealing plug can restrict the flow of the sealant when the sealant melts, thus avoiding sagging of the sealant after melting or unevenness of the sealant after curing, which not only does not affect the appearance of the component to be sealed, but also ensures the reliability of the sealing plug for sealing the hole of the component to be sealed. In addition, in the sealing plug of the present disclosure, it is only necessary to connect the sealing cover and the bracket both made of metal, which avoids the connection between the sealant that is soft and a metal part, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the sealant.
Apparatus, systems, and/or methods for filtering, recapture, and/or recirculation of coolant are disclosed. In some examples, coolant (e.g., coolant fluid) is used to cool and/or clean a machine, such as a material removal machine, for example. In some examples, a recirculation tank may be in fluid communication with an inlet and/or outlet of a cabinet (and/or housing) of the machine. The recirculation tank may include a recapture reservoir having a filtering surface configured to prevent particulates, debris, and/or swarf from being recirculated with the coolant. A vibration device (e.g., a vibration motor and/or vibrating actuator), may be in contact with and/or configured to vibrate (and/or shake, rattle, oscillate, etc.) the filtering surface, recapture reservoir, and/or recirculation tank so as to keep the filter free from obstruction and/or help settle and/or compact filtered particulates in a bottom of the recapture reservoir and/or recirculation tank.
