  • Publication number: 20160069015
    Abstract: A method for producing printed textiles for motor vehicles, the textiles having a polyester-based top material and a bottom material, introduces at least a thickener and a UV absorber into the top material in a foulard process. The top material is dried, a digital printing process is carried out on the dried top material, and the printed top material is laminated with the bottom material. Dyes are applied such that the dyes are especially abrasion resistant. This is achieved in that, in the foulard process, a hydrophilizing agent is introduced into the top material.

  • Publication number: 20040075322
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an apparatus for adjusting, without rails, the vertical and longitudinal position and the inclination of a vehicle seat (1) relative to a vehicle floor (4). The apparatus according to the present invention has at least two pivot levers (10, 14), spaced apart from one another in an adjustment direction (B), that are articulated respectively on the vehicle seat (1) and on the vehicle floor (4) by way of pivot pins (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) extending parallel to one another. The pivot pins (12a, 12b; 12c, 12d), arranged on the vehicle seat (1) and on the vehicle floor (4), of at least one of the pivot levers (10, 14) are lockable independently of one another, the pivot lever (10, 14) having the lockable pivot pins (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) comprising an additional pivot pin (12e) extending parallel to the pivot pins (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) and thereby being subdivided into two lever segments (14, 16) joined in articulated fashion to one another.
