Abstract: A heating mechanism for a cover element of a sensor assembly, the heating mechanism may have a plurality of electrically connected conductor paths applied to a backing film and/or a heating film applied to the backing film. The heating mechanism may have at least one electrical push-through contacting element, which has a film contact portion and a connection contact portion, and a counter-contact element, the film contact portion being electro-conductively connected to at least one of the plurality of conductor paths and/or the heating film, the connection contact portion being inserted through the backing film and protruding relative to the backing film, and the counter-contact element being attached to the connection contact portion so that the film contact portion is counter-secured relative to the counter-contact element with at least the backing film interposed, and the connection contact portion being configured to be connected to a terminal of an electrical source.

Abstract: A vehicle roof, in particular of a passenger car, having a roof cladding arrangement and a roof substructure, which is at least partially covered by the roof cladding arrangement, and at least one environment sensor for charting a vehicle environment and another electrical installation for emitting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation, characterized in that the roof cladding arrangement comprises a visor which has a groove-free outer visible surface, in that the environment sensor and the other electrical installation are disposed beside each other or above one another behind and/or below the visor and in that the visor has a first transmission area having a first transmission behavior for the environment sensor and a second transmission area having a second transmission behavior for the other electrical installation, the second transmission behavior differing from the first transmission behavior.

Abstract: A vehicle shell assembly, having a plate-like plastic body having an outside and an inside. A lighting unit is provided which is disposed on the inside and is configured to be switched between an active state and a passive state; the inside of the plastic body is provided with an opaque light-impermeable coating which has at least one gap; and the plastic body may have of a translucent material so that the gap is covered by the plastic body to the outside when the lighting unit is in the passive state and defines a light pattern which is visible from the outside when the lighting unit is in the active state.
