Abstract:
A motor vehicle equipped with a roof opening and a roof closing device that is displaceable between a closed position which closes the roof opening, and a stowed position that opens the roof opening. An additional roof closing device is provided that can close the roof opening when the roof closing device is in its stowed position. The roof closing device, in its stowed position, forms a functional assembly, in particular, at least one rear seat of the motor vehicle. The roof closing device is displaceably guided on vehicle-mounted guides mounted on longitudinal roof members on both sides of the roof opening, and on the lateral structures of the vehicle body. The roof closing device has two covers which are displaceably mounted on vehicle-mounted guides, can pivot relative to one another, and which, in the stowed position, form a seat surface or a backrest of at least one rear seat.
Abstract:
A shade arrangement for a motor vehicle with at least one shade length and at least one roller tube for taking-up and unrolling the shade length, each side edge of the shade length having at least one flexible, flat guide strip which extends along the drawing direction of the shade and is guided in a guide. The guide contains a connecting link in which the guide strip is guided, and which has an exit gap through which the shade length emerges from the guide, the guide strip being guided such that its base surface is guided essentially parallel to the adjacent region of the shade length. The shaping and dimensioning of the exit gap and guide strip are such that the guide strip cannot emerge from the guide by itself. The shade length is connected to the roller tube via at least one constant force spring.
Abstract:
A tailgate arrangement which is located in the region of the rear opening (12) of a vehicle and in the closed position borders a cargo space (16), has an upper tailgate part (18) which is coupled in the region of the upper edge (20) of the rear opening (12) and a lower tailgate part (22) which is coupled in the region of the lower edge (24) of the rear opening (12) of the vehicle and is aligned essentially horizontally in the open position. An expansion element (28) is detachably fixed on the inside of the lower tailgate part (22) and in the open position of the lower tailgate part (22) expands the cargo space (16) and closes it relative to the exterior of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A retractable roof system for a vehicle is provided with a roof locking apparatus (70) provided in a vehicle body and retaining a retractable roof in a storage space (7) which is different from a trunk space, and a link mechanism (10) provided in the vehicle body and capable of changing a position of a lid (6) covering the storage space (7) so as to open and close to an open position and a closed position. The roof locking apparatus (70) is structured such as to work with the link mechanism (10).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a soft top for a motor vehicle, which can be locked on a windshield frame by means of a latch (18) that is disposed on a forward soft top section (12) and can be swiveled into a locked position while said soft top can be moved into a stowed position at the rear of the vehicle once the latch (18) has been swiveled into an unlocked position. The soft top can be blocked in the stowed position by means of a locking mechanism (22). The inventive soft top is equipped with a locking drive (32, 24) which is drivingly connected to the latch (18) in order to swivel the latch (18) between the locked position and the unlocked position. The locking mechanism (22) is provided with a catch hook (56) on the vehicle body or the soft top. Said catch hook (56) can be swiveled between a releasing position and a blocking position, in which the same engages with a catch hook engaging part (28) that is mounted on the soft top or the vehicle body when the soft top is in the blocked state. In order to simplify blocking and releasing of the locking mechanism in such a soft top for a motor vehicle, the locking mechanism (22) is fitted with a spring device (50, 52, 48), against the spring force of which the soft top runs into the stowed position, while the catch hook (56) can be swiveled into the released position by means of the locking drive (32, 34) in order to release the locking mechanism.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a motor-operated component, in particular in or for a motor vehicle, which comprises at least in regions a material which is permeable to an electric field, and which comprises a sensor-controlled anti-trapping apparatus which contains at least one electrically conductive first sensor electrode which is arranged in the interior of the component in a region which comprises the material which is permeable to electric fields, and which is inaccessible from outside the component.
Abstract:
A process for triggering a heater (10) for motor vehicles having a data memory (16) in which a first computer (20) is connected via an Internet connection (22) to a second computer (24), and at the request of the first computer (20), the second computer (24) transmits a first heater operating data sequence (26) to the first computer (20). Then, the first computer (20) transmits a second heater operating data sequence (28) which is dependent on the first heater operating data sequence (26) to the data memory (16). The first and the second heater operating data sequences (26, 28) contain at least information about the number of starting processes permissible for the heater (10).
Abstract:
A roof element 1 which is designed to close an opening which is made in the roof of a motor vehicle having a translucent pane which is to be permanently connected to the contact surface which borders the roof opening, especially for a contact surface originally designed to receive a sheet metal panel instead of a glass pane roof element. The roof element has at least one transition element which is joined permanently to the inner peripheral surface of the pane, and has a support surface which is parallel to the part of the contact surface on which the indicated support surface is to be superimposed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a shading device (1) of a light-permeable window, which comprises a canvas (10), which is movably mounted for displacement, and at least one transverse reinforcement (50), which is connected fixedly to the canvas (10). The invention is worthy of note in so far as each transverse reinforcement (50) has an inner receptacle (51) which, firstly, is open in the longitudinal direction via a gap (52), the width of which is smaller than that of the abovementioned inner receptacle (51), and, secondly, is suitable for accommodating a fold of the canvas (11), which fold is arranged in the transverse direction starting from the canvas (10) and is provided with a thickened part (12), the cross section of which is larger than the width of the abovementioned gap (12).
Abstract:
An injection molding machine is proposed, especially for injection stamping of large-area plastic moldings, that has at least a first injection mold which has two mold halves and which forms a first cavity with a first projected area, and a second injection which has two mold halves and which forms a second cavity with a second projected area, one mold half of each of the two injection molds being fixed on a common carrier unit. A support means for the two injection molds acts in the opening direction. In order to limit the force acting on the respective cavity, the support means, depending on the respective projected area of the respective cavity, partially take up the clamping force so that a holding pressure force acting on the material which has been injected into the respective cavity is set.
