    Abstract: A vehicle window pane includes a light guide layer and a lighting device which introduces light from a lamp into the light guide layer via a light-incoupling unit arranged on the light guide layer. The lamp is mounted on a support plate and a fastening device keeps the support plate fixed in such a position on the light-incoupling unit in which the lamp is correctly positioned to radiate light into the light-incoupling unit. The fastening device comprises at least one fastening dome which protrudes from the light-incoupling unit and projects into a fastening cutout in the support plate. The substantially deformation-resistant support plate comprises at least one soft region which delimits the fastening cutout. A spreading portion of the fastening dome spreads the fastening cutout by elastically deforming the soft region.

    Abstract: A roof module for forming a motor vehicle roof, the roof module having a panel component whose outer surface at least partially forms the roof skin of the vehicle roof, and an opening in which at least one environment sensor is disposed, the environment sensor being configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals for detecting the vehicle environment. The at least one environment sensor is displaceable between a retracted position and a deployed position. A weather strip is disposed circumferentially at the opening, and the at least one environment sensor may have a cover which is in contact with the weather strip when the at least one environment sensor is in the retracted position to seal the opening, and a contact surface which is in contact with the weather strip when the at least one environment sensor is in the deployed position to seal the opening.

    Abstract: An arrangement for a vehicle has first, second and third pane elements. The first pane element has a first main surface and a second main surface that lies opposite the first main surface along a stack direction. The second pane element has a third main surface and a fourth main surface that lies opposite the third main surface along the stack direction, the second pane element being coupled with the first pane element. The third pane element has a fifth main surface and a sixth main surface that lies opposite the fifth main surface along the stack direction, a pane gap being arranged between the second pane element and the third pane element, and the third pane element being thermally decoupled from the second pane element. A heating layer is coupled with the third pane element and is configured to increase the temperature in the vehicle interior.

    Abstract: An arrangement for moving a cover for a vehicle roof which has a roof opening. The opening-out mechanism has a guide rail, which extends longitudinally along a longitudinal direction (X), and a carriage, which can be displaced along the longitudinal direction (X) in the guide rail, wherein the carriage is coupled to the cover for the purpose of moving the latter. The opening-out mechanism has a movable control lever for controlling the movement of the cover. As seen in relation to a transverse direction (Y), which runs transversely to the longitudinal direction (X), the movable control lever is supported on the carriage and the guide rail such that it is guided both in a displaceable manner on the carriage and in a displaceable manner on the guide rail.

    Abstract: An arrangement for moving a cover for a vehicle roof has a guide rail which extends in a longitudinal direction, and a cover support which can be connected to the cover. The cover support has a first cover support rail and a second cover support rail, wherein the first cover support rail has a first rail end on which the cover support is guided in the guide rail and wherein the second cover support rail can be rigidly fastened to the cover. In a first state, the first cover support rail and the second cover support rail are locked together so that a movement in the longitudinal direction can be transferred from the second cover support rail to the first cover support rail. In a second state, the first cover support rail and the second cover support rail can be displaced relative to one another in the longitudinal direction.

    Abstract: A functional layer includes a first backing film having a first electrically conductive coating, a second backing film having a second electrically conductive coating, and a liquid crystal array disposed between the two electrically conductive coatings. The first electrically conductive coating is exposed in a surface area and removed in the exposed surface area to form an insulation area to form at least a first segment and a second segment of the first electrically conductive coating, the first segment being electrically insulated from the second segment by the insulation area. A first electrically conductive conductor path extends from the first segment in the insulation area to a contact area. A first insulation layer is applied to the first electrically conductive conductor path and at least one second electrically conductive conductor path, which is applied to the first insulation layer, extends from the second segment to the contact area.
