Patent number: 11535163Abstract: A closure unit for a storage compartment, in particular of a motor vehicle, with a frame that forms an access opening for the storage compartment, with two closure elements arranged displaceable on the frame, wherein the closure elements each close a different part of the access opening in a closed position and together close the entire access opening in their respective closed position, and wherein a handle for manually moving the closure elements is disposed at the mutually facing ends of the closure elements. It is provided that the closure elements each have an off-center projection at their mutually facing ends, on which the respective handle is disposed, such that the handles in the closed position of both closure elements are arranged in a line transverse to the sliding direction of the closure elements.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventors: Christian Stock, Christopher Neumann, Burkhard Gis

Patent number: 11186213Abstract: A storage compartment is proposed for a vehicle interior, with a circumferential storage compartment wall, which extends at least substantially vertically and delimits a storage space, and with an insert, reversibly insertable into the storage compartment, with an outer wall and an inner wall, wherein the inner wall is designed partially circular in sections and wherein the insert has pressure elements on the inner wall in order to hold/fix at least one beverage container. The storage compartment is characterized in that an outer contour of the outer wall is substantially identical to an inner perimeter of the storage compartment wall, and in that first positioning elements are disposed on an inner side of the storage compartment wall and second positioning elements, corresponding to the first positioning elements, are disposed on an outer side of the outer wall and by interacting with the first positioning elements fix the insert in a predetermined position within the storage compartment.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventors: Christian Stock, Christopher Neumann, Burkhard Gis

Patent number: 11162286Abstract: A closing device for a storage compartment, in particular of a motor vehicle, having a closing element, slidable on a frame, for releasing or closing a frame opening of the frame, and a locking device for locking the closing element in at least one sliding position, wherein the locking device has at least one actuating handle, which is disposed on the closing element and projects from the closing element for gripping, and is coupled to the locking device for locking and releasing the locking. It is provided that the actuating handle is disposed displaceable on the closing element only in one plane, in particular parallel to the frame. The invention further relates to a storage compartment for a motor vehicle with such a closing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventors: Lars Tewes, Karsten Knoll, Burkhard Gis, Michael Deumann

Patent number: 8657381Abstract: The invention relates to an arm rest, particularly for a center console of a motor vehicle, comprising a carrier element (1) having a support element (11) moveably arranged on the carrier element (1), wherein the carrier element (1) and the support element (11) can be pivoted about a first pivoting axis (y) by means (3, 5, 7A, 7B or 3, 7A, 8) arranged in or on the carrier element (1). The support element (11) can be displaced with respect to the carrier element (1) by a connection to one of the arranged means (3, 5, 7A, 7B or 3, 7A, 8). According to the invention, pivoting of the carrier element (1) together with the support element (11) and displacing the support element (11) with respect to the carrier element (1) can be released or blocked by actuating a single control element (6) that acts upon the arranged means (3, 5, 7A, 7B or 3, 7A, 8).Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2009Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Volkswagen AGInventors: Bert Junige, Burkhard Gis
