  • Patent number: 11478960
    Abstract: A method produces a vehicle replacement part for a first vehicle component of a connecting system, which is fixed to a second vehicle component via a detachable clip connection. The first vehicle component has a male fixing element, and the second vehicle component has a female fixing element. To connect the first vehicle component to the second vehicle component, the male fixing element is plugged into the female fixing element and is latched. The production method of the vehicle replacement part provides an unfinished part, which is dimensioned to produce the vehicle replacement part. Then, the unfinished part is reshaped in accordance with the geometry of the first vehicle component.

  • Publication number: 20220153178
    Abstract: A storage compartment for installation in a motor vehicle includes a storage volume which is bounded laterally by an at least partially encircling storage wall. At least one elastic compartment divider, which has a macroscopically elastic material at least in a central region of a longitudinal extent of the compartment divider, is provided such that the compartment divider can be transferred between a first divider position and a second divider position and which, at the first divider position, divides the storage volume into a first partial compartment and a second partial compartment and, at the second divider position, forms part of the storage wall of the storage volume. Two spaced-apart divider receptacles are arranged on the storage wall and at which in each case one of two longitudinal ends of the compartment divider is accommodated. The compartment divider is mounted on each of the divider receptacles so as to be rotatable about a divider longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20210354639
    Abstract: A molded part, in particular to an interior trim part of a motor vehicle, consists of a pressed carrier, formed from a fiber-plastic composite, a carrier structure made of a plastic for fixedly arranging the molded part on a motor vehicle, and a light source. The carrier structure is molded with an injection molding method to a surface of a rear side of the pressed carrier such that the carrier structure lies flat directly against the surface, in particular the entire surface, of the rear side of the pressed carrier. The pressed carrier is at least translucent, and the carrier structure is opaque. The carrier structure has at least one cutout, which forms a through opening to the surface of the pressed carrier. The light source is arranged for backlighting purposes on the rear side of the pressed carrier such that, with appropriate use, light is visible on a viewing side of the pressed carrier.

  • Patent number: 11150261
    Abstract: A method for producing sensor information depends on a rotational speed, using a rotational speed sensor which is adapted to output rotational speed pulses in predetermined angular positions of a physical sensor field that rotates at the rotational speed. In order to increase resolution, a digital angle signal each is determined between the pulses. A defined number of most significant bits of said angle information is output to determine the rotational speed so that the interval between two pulses is subdivided into a defined number of subintervals. An angle value which can be unambiguously interpreted by means of the sinusoidal signal can be determined from the cosine signal by using two phase shift sinusoidal signals and an arccos function. The device optionally outputs the angle signal below a threshold value and an impulse signal above the threshold value to determine speed.
