The invention relates to a connecting device which has a connecting element (18) of flat beam design fixed to a wiper blade (10) and an adapter (16) joined to said connecting element in an articulated manner, and also a joining element (14) that is joined to a wiper arm (12) and into the u-shaped cross-sectional profile of which the adapter (16) is inserted and, by means of a spring tongue (64) arranged on the top wall (42) thereof, is fixed to a pushbutton (66), the connecting element (18) having a central web (28) running in the longitudinal direction of the wiper blade (10) and bearing a hinge shaft (30) projecting on the long sides thereof, which is mounted in laterally flexible hubs (46) in side walls (40) of the adapter (16). According to the invention, the outwardly facing walls of the adapter (16), namely the side walls (40), the top wall (42), and the end walls (36, 62), have a general wall thickness of at least two millimeters, and the hubs (46) are to be formed as blind holes, the cylindrical surfaces of which form radial sliding surfaces (48) and the end faces of which form axial sliding surfaces (50), which are highly polished with an arithmetic mean roughness of Ra<0.2μ, and that the sliding surfaces (48, 50) be the sole contact surfaces between the connecting element (18) and the adapter (16).

A rotary tool includes first and second tool bodies defining an axis and clamped together in the axial direction by a screw. The tool bodies include axially extending male and female parts that engage one another to transmit rotary force. Spaced radially outwardly of the male and female parts are two sets of radial guiding structures for guiding the tool bodies in the radial direction, so a radial play can exist between the male and female parts.

An optical scanning device for reading data stored on a rotating recording medium having a scanning head; at least one guide device for guiding the scanning head along a predefined track; at least one bearing device connected to the scanning head for supporting the at least one guide device and having at least one elastic prestressing device to provide a static prestress on the at least one guide device to prestress the same and the at least one bearing device connected to the scanning head against each other to eliminate a relative displacement.

The present invention relates to a mechanism for bedding a receiver frame (3) and / or a barrel (1) in a stock (2) of a firearm, the mechanism having a bearing component (8) which can be attached to the stock (2) and which, on its upper surface, has a bearing surface (10,11) for bearing the receiver frame (3) and / or the barrel (1). To ensure permanent and reproducibly accurate positioning, the lower surface of the bearing component (8) comprises a guide profile (9) for seating the bearing component (8) free from play in the stock (2).

A wobble joint fitting for a vehicle seat has a first joint arm, which carries an internal gear and forms a first bearing surface, which are central to a main axis, and a second joint arm to which an eccentric gear is allocated, which comprises an externally toothed pinion and a second bearing surface. The pinion and the second bearing surface are central to an eccentric axis. An eccentric driving part is disposed in the area between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface. Clamping parts, in a clamping state, displace the eccentric axis relative to the main axis. The eccentric driving part defines the eccentric. The rotary drive of the eccentric driving part causes a rotation of the pinion relative to the internal gear even without the clamping parts being present, wherein only play compensation is not obtained without the presence of the clamping parts.

The invention is based on a connecting device (10) for the articulated connection of a wiper blade (11) to a wiper arm (24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34), said connecting device having a connecting element (16) which is connected to a supporting element (22) of the wiper blade (11) for conjoint rotation and on which an adaptor (18) is mounted pivotably transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction thereof, said adaptor being able to be fastened releasably and for conjoint rotation to the free end of the wiper arm (24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34) or to a joining element (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46) connected fixedly to the latter, wherein the adaptor (18) has a plurality of means (80, 96, 100, 102, 122, 126, 130, 134, 144) in order to be able to receive different joining elements (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46) of different wiper arms (24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34), wherein the means include stop edges (86), spring latches (88), locking cams (100), spring clips (122) and spring tongues (128, 132) with latching cams (130, 134). It is proposed that the outsides of the side walls (90) of the adaptor (18) have locking cams (100) in the region of the driving end, wherein, in the fitted state, play-compensating ribs (64, 68) of a first or second joining element (36, 38) or of a covering cap (20) of the adaptor (18) engage under the locking cams (100) and bear on the end side against the steps (101) thereof while securing cams (66) which are arranged on the insides of the side walls (48, 108) of the first joining element (36), of the second joining element (38) or of the covering cap (20) in a manner offset in the longitudinal direction relative to the play-compensating ribs (64, 68) with respect to the driven end engage in installation gaps (96) in the side walls (90) of the adaptor (18), said installation gaps running transversely with respect to the play-compensating ribs (64, 68), and wherein, in the fitted state, the first joining element (36), the second joining element (38) or the covering cap (20) are clamped between the installation gaps (96) and a stop edge (86) by the front part (80) which is elastically flexible in the longitudinal direction, wherein the stop edge (86) is arranged at the transition of the front part (80) of the adaptor (18) to the driving part of the adaptor (18).
