Patent number: 10899370Abstract: A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, has cladding modules for cladding a body shell-side vehicle lateral wall and/or vehicle roof. The cladding modules, or at least a majority of the cladding modules of the vehicle, either have a first width or a second width which is smaller than the first width, and the difference between the first and second width corresponds to half of the width of at least one partition module which is mounted in the vehicle and which is mounted between two of the cladding modules or is arranged on an interface between two directly adjacent cladding modules, in particular the partition module is placed in front of the interface when seen in the vehicle transverse direction and covers the interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Siemens Mobility GmbHInventors: Ludger Alofs, Reinhold Belzer, Adrian Biadatz, Martin Dombrowsky, Joshua Hesterberg, Michael Kiesel, Sascha Kirchhoff, Mirko Schwozer, Helmut Treutler, Guenter Wolf

Patent number: 9586460Abstract: An air purification device for a vehicle comprises an air inlet, an air outlet, and an air conduction volume between the air inlet and the air outlet. At least one reaction surface element is provided in the air conduction volume. At least one light source for ultraviolet light is arranged in the air conduction volume. A surface of the at least one reaction surface element comprises a catalytic material, and the at least on reaction surface element is arranged substantially in the entire air conduction volume or occupies at least 50% of the inner surface of the air purification device. The air purification device comprises a base element and a cover element. The at least one reaction surface element is integrally connected to the base element or to the cover element and comprises surface-coated rod-shaped elements protruding into the air conduction volume.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2009Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Bernd Gross, Hans-Georg Werner, Joshua Hesterberg, Man Loong Leong

Publication number: 20150042142Abstract: A device is provided for securing a head restraint to a seat of a vehicle, the head restraint having at least one, typically two, mounting rods which are pushed into associated receiving sleeves, the receiving sleeves being secured to the vehicle seat by connecting elements and the receiving sleeve having a connecting section which is connected, in particular welded, to the connecting element. The connecting section of the receiving sleeve and the connecting element are configured, in the area in which the connecting element is contacted by the connecting section, in such a way that, in the event of a displacement of the connecting element along the connecting section, the angle of the connecting element with respect to the receiving sleeve changes. As a result, a particularly flexibly usable device for securing a head restraint to a vehicle seat is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2012Publication date: February 12, 2015Inventors: Joshua Hesterberg, Ladislav Gurbal

Patent number: 8388059Abstract: An actuating system for a head restraint of a vehicle seat is provided. The head restraint includes a part that can be shifted from a comfort position to a safety position, such as in the event of an accident. Limbs are expandable from an initial position as a consequence of pressure loading to bring about a lengthening which can be transmitted to force transmission means. The limbs are connected to one another and/or to fastening means by joints, each having a first and a second joint pin which can be inserted axially into holes to form the joints.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2008Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Benjamin Guenther, Klaus Sperling, Marcus Thies, Silvio Hartlaub, Joshua Hesterberg
