Abstract:
A dashboard support part is provided having an airbag exit opening and a module fastening frame, on which a passenger airbag module is directly and removably fastened, the module fastening frame being implemented integrally with the dashboard support part. The passenger airbag module is fastened on the module fastening frame using screws and/or using projections of the passenger airbag module inserted into pockets of the module fastening frame transversely to a firing direction of the passenger airbag module.
Abstract:
The invention concerns an instrument panel for a vehicle having a form stable plastic carrier, a cover layer, optionally a layer including a foam material, and at least one flap-like tear-open part for the airbag of an airbag module. The flap-like tear-open part is defined by separation lines and a hinge area. The flap-like tear open part is provided with a reinforcement having at least one flexible layer. The layer is provided with through holes, which are perfused with the material of the carrier in such a manner, that the inner most carrier layer covers over the flexible layer in the manner of narrow or shallow elevations.
Abstract:
In cryogenic applications a compression device circulates a fluid, such as helium, in a closed cooling circuit. The compression device includes at least one compressor, preferably a helical compressor, with a bypass valve connected in parallel thereto, which serves to decompress the compressed fluid. The suction pressure is measured with a pressure measuring device and is supplied to a control device, which controls the position of a powered valve spool of the compressor and also the position of the bypass valve. In order to achieve a high control performance with small bypass losses for load cases which are hard to predetermine, the positions of bypass valve and power valve spool are adjusted so that a fluid flow flows as a control reserve through the bypass valve and is on the order of a fraction of the total fluid flow.
Abstract:
A steering column of a motor vehicle is composed of two telescopically and torque transmittingly interengaging steering column tubes. These tubes are mounted in bearings. A steering wheel is allocated to a first steering column tube. The other steering column tube is connected with a steering gear box. A cylinder piston device is provided within at least one of the two steering column tubes. This cylinder piston device can be locked in a plurality of positions, such as to define a plurality of variable lengths of the steering column.
Abstract:
In a hydraulically blockable gas spring a hydraulic chamber and a gas chamber are provided one behind the other within a cylinder. The chambers are separated from each other by a separating wall. A first section of a piston rod is sealingly guided through one end of the hydraulic fluid chamber and is connected with a separating piston within the hydraulic fluid chamber. The separating piston divides the hydraulic fluid chambers into two hydraulic fluid compartments. The fluid compartments are interconnected by a hydraulic flow path. The hydraulic flow path can be selectively opened and closed by a valve. A second piston rod section extends from the separating piston through the separating wall and sealingly enters into the gas chamber. The pressurized gas within the gas chamber provides a biasing action onto the second piston rod section. The hydraulic chamber is completely filled with a hydraulic fluid. When the valve is closed, the separating piston and the piston rod sections are positively blocked in both axial directions. When the valve is open, the separating piston and the piston rod sections can be moved as a unit and are subject to the biasing action of the pressurized gas.
