Abstract:
A heat exchanger arrangement is made available for heating an area of a vehicle which is to be heated, having: a first heat exchanger element for transmitting waste heat from at least one vehicle electrical component to be cooled to air, and a second heat exchanger element for transmitting heat from at least one vehicle heating device to air. The first heat exchanger element and the second heat exchanger element are arranged in such a way that air (L) to be heated is successively applied to them.
Abstract:
A sliding roof device for a vehicle, in particular for an automobile, is provided. The device has a movable panel, the front region of which is mounted such that it is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, while the rear region is hinged to at least one push-out lever that is likewise mounted such that it is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The sliding roof device additionally comprises drive devices configured to displace the movable panel by directly driving each push-out lever in the direction of a displacement in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

Abstract:
Reducing number of components in a case where a plurality of locking mechanism is being used. The system includes an input cable (84) driven when pulled by an electric motor (10) via a hook (81); a connecting member (110) rotatably connected to a vehicle body, an output end of the input cable (84) is connected thereto; and a branched driving cable (100) having a first driving cable (503), an input end of which is connected to the connecting member (110) while an output end of which is connected to a link restricting mechanism (500) for transmitting a pulling force of the input cable (84) to the link restricting mechanism (500), and second driving cable (514), an input end of which is connected to the connecting member (110) and an output end of which is connected to the stored state locking mechanism (510) for transmitting a pulling force of the input cable (84) to the stored state locking mechanism (510), wherein the link restricting mechanism (500) and the stored state locking mechanism (510) are driven by the electric motor (10) via the branched driving cable (100).
Abstract:
A fuel-operated heating device is provided which is adapted to provide heat by conversion of fuel with combustion air. A control unit of the fuel-operated heating device is adapted to control operation of the fuel-operated heating device. The control unit of the fuel-operated heating device is adapted to control at least one electric heating element as a slave.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a vehicle component made of plastic, in particular a vehicle body shell component, with at least one supporting layer, with at least one outer skin and with at least one tear-resistant splinter protection layer. According to the invention, the splinter protection layer is formed as a splinter protection fabric and is embedded in the at least one supporting layer, in particular in the edge region thereof, or between two adjacent layers. The splinter protection fabric has the effect of avoiding sharp-edged breaks of the vehicle component in an accident.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a vehicle roof with two cover elements, a front one of which can be deployed and a rear one of which serves as the sliding cover can be lowered under the stationary vehicle roof and displaced. An embodiment of the invention relates to an actuating mechanism of a drive slide which interacts with a deployment lever in order to swivel the front cover element, said lever being hinged to a support of the front cover element. The deployment movement of the deployment lever is supported by a spring. According to another aspect of the invention, the actuating mechanism comprises a slide unit which comprises one control track each for the front cover element and for the rear cover element. The control tracks are configured in such a manner that the displacement of the slide unit in the direction of the vehicle roof, starting from a closed position of both cover elements, first results in both cover elements being deployed, a continuous displacement of the slide unit in the same direction results in the rear cover element being swung back and lowered and in the rear cover element being retracted.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mechanism for generating pivot motions and displacement motions of a chassis component (30), having a displaceable carriage (40) engaging with at least one first guide element (361) disposed on the chassis component by means of at least one second guide element (42, 44, 46). In order to simplify the mechanism according to the invention, the displaceable carriage (40) has at least two second guide elements (42, 44, 46) acting together with the first guide element (361) in the closed position and during the pivot motion of the chassis component (30), and acting together with a further first guide element (362) associated with the chassis component (30) during a displacement motion of the chassis component (30). The invention is in particular suitable for the panel of a sliding tilting sunroof of a vehicle.
Abstract:
A glass height adjuster for a sunroof assembly using a mounting bracket extension adapter. The present invention can include an extension adapter having a countersunk first opening on the lower portion, a second opening in the upper portion spaced a predetermined distance from the first opening to compensate for a vertical variance of the mounted movable surface to a vehicle roof; and the bracket configured to be placed and attached between a sunroof mounting bracket and a sunroof mechanism arm, whereby function of the movable surface is maintained. Additional features can include a lip on a lower edge to conform to a lower edge of the mechanism arm, or a tab to retain the mechanism arm from a first and second side of the mechanism arm.
Abstract:
The object of providing a technical function edge and a styling edge is solved by the cloth for a soft top according to the invention which is designed to be stretchable over at least one solid element, wherein the solid element comprises at least one offsetting or indentation, and wherein the cloth overstretching the solid element is deformed by suitable clamping devices such that the cloth substantially follows the contour of the offsetting or indentation in the region of the offsetting or indentation.
