The invention relates to a cylinder core () which can be mounted in a rotatable manner in a locking device, in particular of a storage compartment or of a glove compartment of a motor vehicle, and has a head region (), which has a key channel () into which a key can be introduced, and a retaining region (), which adjoins the head region () and is formed with a control means () which, when the cylinder core () is rotated about its axis of rotation (), moves an arresting means, which is arranged in the locking device, for a closing and/or opening operation. The invention provides for the cylinder core () to have at least two material bodies (), wherein a first material body () is configured with the head region (), which contains a first plastic, and a second material body () is designed with the control means (), which contains a second plastic, the second plastic having a higher strength than the first plastic.

The invention relates to a rotary-latch lock comprising two additional parts, namely a closing stirrup ( ) and at least one rotary latch. The lock is adjusted by means of the assembly of the closing stirrup. Said rotary latch is arranged on a flap element, for example, in a fixed manner, and remains in such a position. The closing stirrup ( ) is then placed on a body part, for example, in such a way that the position thereof can be changed by means of, for example, spacer sleeves or spacer bars. The aim of the invention is to create a reliable lock which can be easily adjusted after being assembled. In order to achieve this, the closing stirrup ( ) comprises two components, namely a fixing element ( ) and a stirrup element ( ). The two components ( ) are arranged in a distance-variable manner in such a way that the stirrup element ( ) can be connected to the body part by means of the fixing element ( ), and the lock is adjusted after assembly by changing the distance between the two components ( ). A regulating element ( ) for changing the distance is arranged between the fixing element ( ) and the stirrup element ( ).

An apparatus for packing slide fasteners as they arrive in a longitudinal transport direction one after the other at a predetermined travel speed from a production facility has a speedup conveyor receiving the arriving slide fasteners and operating at a speed substantially higher than the travel speed thereof and a separating conveyor running transversely of the speedup conveyor and having an upstream end receiving the fasteners from the speedup conveyor and a downstream end transversely offset therefrom. A collection trough having a floor inclined to the horizontal, upper and lower ends, and a plate blocking the lower end is positioned underneath the separating conveyor to receive the fasteners therefrom and a downstream trough is aligned longitudinally with and has an upstream end separated by a space from the collection trough, a floor formed with a throughgoing aperture, and a downstream end. A collection vessel is provided underneath the downstream end of the downstream trough. A transport device has an upstream arm engageable in the collection trough at the lower end thereof and a downstream arm engageable in the space and downstream trough for displacing both of these arms between upstream and downstream positions for pushing respective bundles of the fasteners downstream. A packing unit in the space between the troughs applies a wrapping to the bundles thereat and a labeling unit underneath the aperture prints indicia on the wrappings as same pass the aperture.
