Abstract: Device for closing and releasing a power charging port of a motor vehicle having a cover part moveable by a guiding mechanism, fixed to the vehicle in an installed and ready to operate condition, between a closed position closing the power charging port and an open position releasing the power charging port. An emergency actuation device moves the cover part into the open position, and a drive mechanism controls movement of the cover part. A coupling mechanism activates the emergency actuation device and deactivates the drive mechanism, and is connected to the emergency actuation device. The coupling mechanism is associated with a mechanical securing mechanism, which cooperates with the emergency actuation device. When the emergency actuation device is deactivated, the securing mechanism produces an additional form fit to secure a power transmission of the drive mechanism. The additional form fit is lifted upon activating of the emergency actuation device.

Abstract: A covering apparatus for a loading space of a motor vehicle, with a covering arrangement having a plurality of dimensionally stable slats coupled to one another in an extended covering state and positioned in a manner stacked one on top of another in a receiving space in a stowed inactive position. The slats are coupled permanently to one another among one another by at least one flexible connecting strap.

Abstract: A closure arrangement for closing a fuel inlet compartment of a motor vehicle body, including a guide device fixed to the vehicle, a cover element displaceably guided on the guide device between a closed position in which the fuel inlet compartment is closed and an open position in which the fuel inlet compartment is open. The guided displacement of the cover element between the closed and open positions includes reciprocating movement and longitudinal movements. The closure arrangement has a drive device operatively connected to the cover element and drives same between the closed and open positions. The drive device has a drive rod element acting axially indirectly on the cover element so as to transmit pulling and pushing forces. The cover element is displaceable between the closed and the open positions by an axial drive movement of the drive rod element with reciprocating and longitudinal movement.

Abstract: A system for a multi-directional roof cover system includes a vehicle comprising an opening in the top of the vehicle and a cover movably coupled to selectively cover the opening. The cover has a first end proximate a first end of the vehicle, a second end proximate a second end of the vehicle, lateral edges connecting the first end and the second end, and linkages coupling the lateral edges to the vehicle. The cover is actuatable, based on one or more conditions, between a first position in which the cover is closed and covers the opening, a second position in which the cover is open and the first end of the cover is raised relative to the second end of the cover, and a third position in which the cover is open and the second end of the cover is raised relative to the first end of the cover.

Abstract: Loading floor arrangement for a load space of a motor vehicle with a loading floor mounted for movement between a rest position and an extended position, and with an adjustment device for displacement of the loading floor between the rest position and the extended position. The adjustment device has a guide rail arrangement fixed to the vehicle with a guide portion extending longitudinally in the load space, at least one lift guide portion extending in the load space height direction, and at least one guide body assigned to the loading floor and guided so as to be slidingly movable relative to the longitudinal guide portion and the lift guide portion. A control slide is mounted so as to be movable relative to the guide portion and is provided with a control curve which cooperates by forced guidance with the guide body such that the loading floor can be moved between the rest position and the extended position depending on a longitudinal displacement of the control slide.

Abstract: Protective device for a vehicle interior with a flexible protective structure, which can be moved between a position of rest compactly stowed in the region of a supporting structure and a deployed protection position, with a dimensionally stable end profile which is provided at a front end region of the protective structure in the deployment direction The protective structure is formed as a folded leporello structure from a plurality of profile sections extending transversely to the deployment direction and adjoining each other in the deployment direction and joined together by fold lines.

Abstract: An armrest for motor vehicles, especially a center armrest, is provided that includes an upper part and a lower part. These two parts of the armrest are connected to each other by two articulation arrangements. Each of the articulation arrangements has two degrees of freedom, namely a rotational axis and a translational axis. In addition, locking devices are associated with each articulation arrangement, in order to lock the articulation arrangement in arbitrary translational positions.

Abstract: A center armrest for rear seat backs of cars that comprises an armrest upper part and an armrest lower part that are joined together by means of a hinge located at an end face of the armrest. Within a hollow central portion of the armrest, a control mechanism is provided by which the thickness of the armrest is automatically adjusted when the armrest is swiveled down from an out-of-use position where it functions as part of the seat back into the armrest position.

Abstract: A storage compartment for a motor-vehicle partition has an annular vehicle frame set in the partition, a container set in the vehicle frame and having an open side, and a mount releasably retaining the container in the vehicle frame. A cover fittable over the open side is adapted to carry a piece of vehicular accessory equipment, e.g. a cup holder, DVD or CD player, or the like.

Abstract: A holding device for cargo in the trunk or storage compartment of passenger cars. The holding device includes a base part that can be selectively positioned and retained in a tie-down rail mounted in the storage compartment. Securing means in the form of a pivotable flap is provided which is spring-biased such that stored cargo can be pressed by the flap against a side wall of the trunk or the rear back seat and cannot be slung back or forth due to forces occurring during driving.

Abstract: A storage compartment for a motor vehicle having a partition has an annular vehicle frame set in the partition, a container set in the vehicle frame and having an open side, a cover fittable over the open side, and a mounting system for releasably securing the cover over the open side and permitting complete separation of the cover from the container.

Abstract: A through-seat holder for a motor vehicle has a vehicle frame having generally parallel longitudinal members and transverse side members interconnecting ends of the longitudinal members and defining therewith a throughgoing opening. The longitudinal members are spaced apart by a predetermined transverse distance and form a pair of parallel outwardly facing guide faces flanking the opening and spaced apart by a predetermined transverse dimension greater than the transverse distance. A device frame fittable in the opening of the vehicle frame has generally parallel longitudinal members and transverse side members interconnecting ends of the respective longitudinal members. One of the device-frame transverse members is formed with a rim having a transverse width equal substantially to the dimension so that the rim cannot pass through the opening when extending transversely. The rim forms a pair of transversely spaced contact points engageable with the faces and defining a transversely extending pivot axis.

Abstract: A motor vehicle has a safety apparatus having an extensible safety net having an outer edge, a rigid end element provided on the outer edge and having a fitting, and a holder on the motor-vehicle body having a seat in which the fitting is engageable when the net is deployed. A latch element is movable in the holder between a holding position extending into the seat and retaining the fitting therein in the deployed condition of the net and a freeing position clear of the seat and permitting the fitting to move into and out of the seat. This latch element has a control edge operable to displace the latch element into the freeing position. An actuator on the end element is engageable with the fitting when the fitting is retained by the latch element in the seat and can displace the latch element into the freeing position.
