Abstract: An illumination module for highlighting a region of a vehicle component, such as a charging or tank recess or a handle assembly, includes a light source support having at least one light source and a housing, in which the light source support with the at least one light source is received. The housing includes a light outlet region, via which light can be decoupled from the housing. The illumination module further includes a light diffuser optically coupled to the light outlet region of the housing, which diffuser includes a first light outlet region, via which light can be decoupled for direct illumination or highlighting of the region of the vehicle component and which includes a second light outlet region, which is spatially separated from the first light outlet region via which signal light can be decoupled.

Abstract: An illumination module (1) for highlighting a region of a vehicle component, such as a charging or tank recess (20) or a handle assembly, includes a light source support (2) having at least one light source (3) and a housing (4), in which the light source support with the at least one light source is received. The housing includes a light outlet region (5), via which light can be decoupled from the housing (4). The illumination module (1) further includes a light diffuser (6) optically coupled to the light outlet region of the housing, which diffuser includes a first light outlet region (7), via which light can be decoupled for direct illumination or highlighting of the region of the vehicle component and which includes a second light outlet region (8), which is spatially separated from the first light outlet region (7) via which signal light can be decoupled.

Abstract: A sleeve for a neck rest with tolerance compensation, includes a sleeve body of plastic material for the accommodation of a rod of the neck rest. The sleeve body includes at least one integrally formed resilient portion which is biased toward or away from the interior of the sleeve body. A wire portion is attached to the sleeve body parallel to the axis of the sleeve body such that the wire portion can be resiliently deflected away from or towards the sleeve body, the wire portion engaging the resilient portion.

Abstract: A sleeve arrangement for a neck rest, including a sleeve body adapted to be inserted into an opening in a frame of a vehicle seat, the sleeve body having a through going axial passage adapted to accommodate a rod of the neck rest, and the sleeve body having further a head portion which includes internal locking elements to fix the axial position of the rod in the sleeve body and a shank portion joining the head portion, the sleeve body having an external side which includes fixing elements the sleeve body in the opening of the frame, wherein in upper and lower end portions the passage has radially annular enlargements, and a preferably radially expandable sliding bushing of anti-frictional plastic material is accommodated by the enlargements which encircle the rod, and an elastomeric material is accommodated in the intermediate space between the sliding bushing and a wall of the passage.

Abstract: A sleeve for a neck rest with tolerance compensation, comprising a sleeve body of plastic material for the accommodation of a rod of the neck rest, the sleeve body including at least one integrally formed resilient portion which is biased towards the interior of a sleeve body against an accommodated rod, characterized in that a wire portio is attached to the outer side of the sleeve body parallel to the axis of the sleeve body such that the wire portion can be resiliently deflected away from the sleeve body, the wire portion engaging the outer side of the resilient portion.

Abstract: A headrest guide sleeve for adjustably supporting a headrest pad is mounted in the back rest of a motor vehicle seat. The guide sleeve has a sleeve having a through bore for receiving the rod of the headrest, and a lever member rotatably fixed to an intermediate portion of the sleeve via a hinge mechanism. A biasing element is provided for biasing the lower end of the lever member toward the lower portion of the sleeve. The lever member includes a rib projecting into the through bore for engaging a notch formed on the rod. The upper end of the lever member is engaged with an actuating element. When the actuating element is actuated, the lever member is caused to rotate about the axis of the hinge mechanism against a biasing force of the biasing element thereby releasing the rib from the notch.

Abstract: A Guide sleeve for the rod of a neck rest in automobile vehicles which sleeve is mounted in the back rest of a seat from above, the sleeve comprising a throughbore through which the rod is extended, an enlargement at the upper end which slidably supports an actuating element, releasable locking means which have a locking portion which cooperates with a locking recess provided in the rod in order to secure the rod against axial displacement, the locking portion is disengaged with the locking recess if the actuating element is actuated, wherein a deflection lever is provided which is located at the outer side of the guide sleeve and extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve, the lever being limitedly rotatably supported about an axis lying between the ends of the lever and extending transverse to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve, the locking portion being provided at the lower end of the lever, the lever being biased by spring means which bias the locking portion against the rod and the actuati
