Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a floor subassembly and a storage cell subassembly. The floor subassembly is an integral part of a body of the motor vehicle. In other words, the floor subassembly is part of the body shell. The storage cells of the storage cell subassembly are disposed in the floor subassembly. The storage cells are accommodated in hollow-cylinder chambers of a multi-chamber hollow cylinder structure extending in the vertical direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a cover material for a molded part of a motor vehicle and to a respective cover material. The method includes the following: providing a cover skin which is provided with a seam or perforation and comprises a face and a back; and applying a back layer to the back of the cover skin, wherein, prior to applying the back layer, the seam or perforation is sealed on the back of the cover skin by applying a liquid, gelatinous or paste-like sealing material to the back of the cover skin above the seam or perforation.

Abstract: The disclosure pertains to an interior trim part including a support component and a decorative layer, wherein the support component and the decorative layer respectively include a local weakening along a weakening line that makes it possible to tear open the interior trim part in a controlled fashion when a predefined force is exerted upon the support component, and further including an intermediate layer between the support component and the decorative layer, wherein the intermediate layer is bonded to the decorative layer and includes an intermediate layer weakening that intersects the weakening line.

Abstract: An incandescent lamp including a lamp vessel with a pinch seal at one end, at least one incandescent filament being accommodated in the interior of said lamp vessel, the incandescent filament being fixed in position in the lamp vessel by at least one electrically insulating holding element provided with filament holders wherein the holding elements are held in the lamp vessel by sections of said lamp vessel being subjected to hot shaping.

Abstract: A supply lead (7) for a halogen incandescent lamp is bent in a U-shaped fashion and comprises a base (15) and two limbs (16). The ends of the limbs engage in the end region (6) of the luminous element by means of hook parts (20). A section (11) at the end, on the side of the luminous element, of the associated foil is folded back and forms a fold (12) in which the base (15) is held mechanically.

Abstract: To eliminate the necessity of a separate base for a pinch-sealed lamp having a glass bulb, a sleeve (11) made of the same material as the bulb (1) of the lamp, is formed on an extension of the pinch seal (6), the sleeve retaining a contact element (13) secured in the sleeve, for example by molten glass. The contact element (13) extends essentially transverse to a longitudinal axis (A) of the lamp, is recessed within the interior of the sleeve (11) and preferably has a circumference, which is spaced from said axis (A) by circumferentially different distances, optionally in accordance with a mathematical function which, further optionally, is a periodic function, wherein the minimum spacing of the circumference of said contact element from the axis (A) is less than the inner radius of the sleeve (11).

Abstract: The rotary transfer machine for machining a workpiece using fixed-cycle control has a centrally disposed rotary indexing table which is driven according to a fixed cycle, can rotate about a vertical axis and at the outer circumference of which a plurality of clamping means for holding a workpiece are disposed radially at a spacing from one another, and a plurality of machining units for machining the workpieces, which units are disposed around the outer circumference of the rotary table such that they lie substantially opposite corresponding clamping means in an indexed position of the rotary indexing table.

Abstract: An electrographic printing or copying machine contains, by way of example, a preheating saddle (20,21) positioned upstream of a pair of fixing rollers in the recording substrate running direction and a braking element (10). The preheating saddle (20,21) and braking elements (10) form a gliding surface (23). Suction openings (18,19) in fluid communication with a vacuum-generating device ensure good contact between gliding surface (23) and recording substrate. With the aid of a valve (1), the vacuum can be matched to the operating parameters of the printing and copying machine, or to the parameters of the recording substrate.

Abstract: For projecting optical images onto a transfer printing drum of a non-mechanical printer, an apparatus is used with which the optical character generators can be introduced and removed adjustment-free. To that end, two fastening elements are provided in the printer housing and are adjusted at a constant spacing from the transfer printing drum. For the acceptance of the character generator these fastening elements comprise tapering guide slots that are each respectively fashioned ramp-shaped and into which guide pins of the character generator can be inserted, the character generator being fixed parallel to the rotational axis of the transfer printing drum as a result thereof. The apparatus provides for the adjustment-free integration of optical character generators, particularly for non-mechanical printers.

Abstract: An X-ray examining apparatus including a tomographic exposure installation, with an adjusting or positioning drive for the laminagraphic height displacement, as well as an installation for effecting the marking or indentifying of the currently set laminagraphic height on the tomographic X-ray exposures. In an X-ray examining apparatus of the above-mentioned type there is, accordingly, inventively associated with the X-ray film sheets which are being exposed, a scale or graduated dial which is provided with laminagraphic height gradations and coupled with the positioning drive for the laminagraphic height for the imaging of the area identifying the currently set laminagraphic height.
