A venting valve for venting the interior of a vehicle includes a housing having at least one passage opening, and at least one venting flap which is mounted on the housing by a pivot mounting so as to be pivotable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the at least one venting flap closes off the at least one passage opening and, in the open position, opens up the at least one passage opening for an air stream from the interior of the vehicle to the outside. The pivot mounting is arranged on an inner side of the housing, which inner side, in the assembled or installed state, faces the interior of the vehicle.

Venting valve

A ventilation valve for ventilating the interior of a vehicle includes a valve frame with at least one through opening, and also at least one ventilation flap which is mounted on the valve frame and is pivotable between a closed position and an open position, wherein the at least one ventilation flap closes the at least one through opening in the closed position and opens up the at least one through opening in the open position. A resetting feature is provided for pivoting the at least one ventilation flap back out of the open position into the closed position.

Ventilation valve for a vehicle

On a sealing plug () for sealing an opening () in a component (), in particular in a vehicle body part, comprising a base body () which can cover the opening (), a plurality of projecting latch elements () which can latch onto the rear wall of the component () are provided on the rear face of the base body (). Further, a plurality of centring elements () arranged separately from the latch elements () are provided on the rear face of the base body () and can lie resiliently flexibly against the edge () of the opening ().

Sealing plug

A closure plug for closing an opening has an annular sealing section which is provided to rest against an edge of the opening, and an expansion section which is formed in one piece with the sealing section and can be adjusted from a mounting position, in which the sealing section has a mounting diameter at least at one axial end, to an expansion position, in which the sealing section has a larger diameter.

Closure plug

A fastening device () for a lead has a fastening portion () for mounting the fastening device () on a support, and a support portion () for the lead. The fastening device () further has at least one additional holding portion () extending from the support portion () for pre-fixing the fastening device () on the lead.

Fastening device for a lead

A plug () for sealing holes in a vehicle body comprises a central closure section () and engaging section () arranged on the rim and provided for receiving portions of the vehicle body. The closure section () and the engaging section () are made of a plastics material and the plastics material of the engaging section () is softer than the plastics material of the closure section (). The plastics material of the engaging section () can be softened by heating such that a tight connection is produced between the engaging section () and the portions of the vehicle body that are received by it.

Body filler plug

A fastening device for fastening a plate element, in particular a door or wall lining, on a carrier, in particular a body part of a motor vehicle, can take a preassembly position and a final assembly position. The fastening device includes a connecting element (), which can be connected with the plate element and defines an axial mounting direction (A). The fastening device further comprises an engaging part () for locking the fastening device behind an opening of the carrier. Both the connecting element () and the engaging part () have integrally formed functional elements, which in the preassembly position directly cooperate with associated functional elements or regions of the engaging part () and with associated functional elements or regions of the connecting element (), respectively.

Fastening device

A dowel for insertion into an opening () of a wall (), in particular on a vehicle body, has a shank section () which extends through the opening () in an inserted state and a flange () adjoined thereto and made of a first material component, and a sealing section () made of a second material component. The second material component is a plastic material which expands at an elevated temperature and tightly closes the opening () in the expanded state.
