Abstract:
A roller blind arrangement for a motor vehicle for shading a transparent vehicle section having a roller blind web which can be wound up to form a roller blind winding and is guided at its lateral edges in relation to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the roller blind in each case in a guide rail, as well as a drive device having a drive pinion which drives two driving means each of which is guided in a guide track of one of the guide rails. The driving means are each designed as a toothed belt which has an essentially rectangular cross section and comprises a toothing on at least one side, the teeth of said toothing extending at least approximately perpendicular to the plane of the unwound roller blind web between a lower side of the toothed belt and an upper side of the toothed belt.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a heat exchanger (10) having an internal conduct (32) for conducting a fluid, and having a heat dissipating body (12, 12′) for dissipating heat of the fluid, wherein the heat dissipating body (12, 12′) having a cavity (14, 14′) extending in a longitudinal direction (36), at least one end piece (34) of the internal conduct (32) extending inside of the cavity (14, 14′) the end piece (34) having an orifice (42) facing a bottom surface (44) of the cavity (14, 14′) for feeding the fluid into a bottom area of the cavity, wherein between an outer shell (48) of the internal conduct (32) and an inner shell (20, 20′) of the heat dissipating body (12, 12′) a streaming space for conducting the fluid away from the bottom (46) is provided, the streaming space extending in the longitudinal direction (36). The inner shell (20, 20′) of the heat dissipating body (12, 12′) comprises a first portion (20) having at least two ribs (22) transversally displaced in relation to each other; and adjacent to the first portion (20) a second portion (20′) having at least two ribs (22′) transversally displaced in relation to each other. At least one rib (22′) of the second portion (20′) is transversally displaced in relation to each rib (22) of the first portion (20) or at least one rib (22) of the first portion (20) is transversally displaced in relation to each rib (22′) of the second portion (20′). The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing of such a heat exchanger.
Abstract:
A preheating apparatus for a vehicle having an operating fluid storage chamber of a first assembly, wherein a first operating fluid for operation in the first assembly is provided in the operating fluid storage chamber, an electric pump, wherein the electric pump is arranged in an external region of the operating fluid storage chamber and of the first assembly, and at least one heat source for supplying heat to the first operating fluid or removing heat from the first operating fluid, wherein the electric pump pumps the operating fluid out of the operating fluid storage chamber to the heat source.
Abstract:
A roller shade includes a light shielding sheet which can be rolled up in a roll shape, a roller and an electric motor for openably moving the light shielding sheet, guide belts connected to respective lower surfaces of side end parts of the light shielding sheet in a sheet width direction, and a pair of guide parts each having a guide space which receives a corresponding one of the side end parts of the light shielding sheet in the sheet width direction and a corresponding one of the guide belts, for guiding the side end part and the guide belt. In the roller shade, the light shielding sheet is prevented from being creased when the light shielding sheet moves in the width direction while being rolled or unrolled, due to lack of a tension of the light shielding sheet in the width direction.
Abstract:
A covering device to be fastened opposite an opening of a motor vehicle and comprises at least one element which is fastened on the circumference of the opening, wherein a covering unit is displaced in an expansion direction between a storage position, in which the covering unit is released from the opening, and a covering position, in which the covering unit is extended opposite the opening, wherein the covering unit comprises a network of optical fibers having lateral light scattering. The network of optical fibers is supplied with light by at least one light source which is fastened on the element and, in order to supply the network of optical fibers with light, can illuminate ends of the optical fibers of the network in at least one illuminating position of the covering unit.
Abstract:
