Abstract:
The invention relates to a mortor vehicle comprising an air-conditioning unit (10) that is provided with an electrically operated compressor (12). Said motor vehicle further comprises a generator (16) which can be operated by a vehicle drive unit (14) in order to generate electric power, a battery (18) that can be charged by means of the electric power generated by the generator, and a solar module (22) for generating electric power, the motor vehicle especially being a hybrid vehicle. According to the invention, another battery is provided which can be charged using the power generated by the solar module (22) while the electrically operated compressor (12) can be operated using power stored in the first battery (18) and/or power stored in the additional battery (20).
Abstract:
A roof module (10) for a motor vehicle, with an integrated climate control system (12, 14, 16, 18). Furthermore, the roof module (10) includes a fuel cell system (32, 34, 38). The roof module (10) is preferably a pre-mounted complete motor vehicle roof with bordering modules, preferably with extra integrated functions.
Abstract:
A double-sided adhesive tape (24) and a method for fixing a sealing element (10) in place, preferably in motor vehicles, has a sealing body (12) made from silicone, to which a first self-adhesive sticking surface (18) of a double-sided adhesive tape (24) is applied which is formed at least partly of a silicone glue. The double-sided adhesive tape (24) is provided with a second self-adhesive sticking surface (20) for fixing to the site of application.
Abstract:
A retractable roof includes a front roof panel, a back roof panel formed by joining outer and inner panel layers to each other, a lower link pivotally connected to a vehicle body member, an upper link pivotally connected to the front roof panel, and an intermediate link rigidly connected to each of the lower link and the upper link. The intermediate link is placed in between the outer and inner panel layers of the back roof panel.
Abstract:
A cover (11) with a glass pane (14) for a motor vehicle roof, in which, first, a combination film (10) with a shatter prevention film and electrical function elements (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) integrated into the combination film. The combination film is securely attached to a side of the pane, e.g., the side facing the vehicle interior. Furthermore, the electrical function elements are provided at various points and comprise different types of electrical function elements having different functions, e.g., an electroluminescent element and at least one of solar cells, an LCD, an SPD and an EC area.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system for converting fuel and air into reformate with a reformer which has a reaction space, a nozzle for supplying a fuel/air mixture to the reaction space, and a fuel feed for supplying fuel to the nozzle. In the invention, the air inlet area of the nozzle is provided with air guidance means which impart a swirl to the in-flowing air.
Abstract:
A rear hatch arrangement of a motor vehicle is proposed which comprises a first, upper rear hatch part (15) which is attached via a coupling means (16) to a body section (11) and can be pivoted around an axis which runs in the transverse direction of the vehicle, and a second, lower rear hatch part (15) with an upper edge which in the closed position borders the lower edge of the upper rear hatch part (14) and which lower rear hatch part can be pivoted out relative to the upper rear hatch part (14) by means of at least one articulated mechanism. As claimed in the invention the articulated mechanism (19) is guided in at least one guide rail (23) so that the lower rear hatch part (15) in the outwardly pivoted state can be translationally shifted relative to the upper rear hatch part (14).
Abstract:
A molding tool and process for producing a plate which has been foamed, injected or cast in situ with plastic, for example, a cover provided with a plastic frame for a motor vehicle roof. To prevent burr formation, at least one wire (13, 14) which can be heated is provided in the region of at least one parting line between adjacent tool parts (11, 12, 6) to eliminate excess plastic material of the plastic frame (8).
Abstract:
A composite member for a vehicle body a method for manufacturing such a composite member, in particular, for a vehicle roof, with a fiber-free outer skin (12) and a fiber-reinforced support layer (16), which is deposited at the inner side of the outer skin in order to support the outer skin. The side of the support layer (16) that faces away from the outer skin (12) is provided with a fiber-reinforced reinforcing layer (18) for reinforcing the support layer. The reinforcing layer has a higher fiber concentration than the support layer.
Abstract:
A shade system for a motor vehicle with a shade web, one end of which is attached to a take-up tube (10) and the other of which is connected to a pull (14), with a take-up shaft (12) which is held coaxially in the take-up tube and is connected to the take-up tube by a torsion spring (16), a drive device for actuating the shade web having a gear (20) connected coaxially to the take-up shaft and a toothed-belt (18) which is connected to the pull. The toothed belt is an open, flexible toothed belt (18) which is guided in a compressively stiff manner in a guide rail (30) and has a first belt end (24) connected to the pull (14), and a second belt end which is deflected around the gear (20) in a direction toward the first end of the toothed belt.
