Abstract: The invention relates to a method for correcting a misalignment of at least one shafting of a powertrain on a test bench, where at least one piezoelectric force sensor is arranged in a path of force via which a force flow can be transmitted between a load unit of the test bench and a drive unit of the powertrain or the test bench during a transmission of power via the shafting, comprising: performing a force measurement in at least one plane and/or perpendicular to the at least one plane which is intersected by a rotational axis of the shafting and may be substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis; analyzing a measured value or a measured value progression of the force measurement for detecting a misalignment of the shafting; determining target values for a position correction of the load unit or the drive unit in order to minimize the misalignment; and outputting the target values.

Abstract: A storage compartment for a motor-vehicle partition has an annular vehicle frame set in the partition, a container set in the vehicle frame and having an open side, and a mount releasably retaining the container in the vehicle frame. A cover fittable over the open side is adapted to carry a piece of vehicular accessory equipment, e.g. a cup holder, DVD or CD player, or the like.

Abstract: A through-seat holder for a motor vehicle has a vehicle frame having generally parallel longitudinal members and transverse side members interconnecting ends of the longitudinal members and defining therewith a throughgoing opening. The longitudinal members are spaced apart by a predetermined transverse distance and form a pair of parallel outwardly facing guide faces flanking the opening and spaced apart by a predetermined transverse dimension greater than the transverse distance. A device frame fittable in the opening of the vehicle frame has generally parallel longitudinal members and transverse side members interconnecting ends of the respective longitudinal members. One of the device-frame transverse members is formed with a rim having a transverse width equal substantially to the dimension so that the rim cannot pass through the opening when extending transversely. The rim forms a pair of transversely spaced contact points engageable with the faces and defining a transversely extending pivot axis.
