  • Patent number: 7600905
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle light unit with one or several lamps, in which light can be guided in a light conductor material, in particular a flashing direction indicator light unit. At least two light conductor sections (16a-16c) are brought together with a first end (18a-18c) and a second end (20a-20c) respectively at one of their ends (20a-20c) in a junction (30), which forms a decoupling region (24), into which light exits, which is guided in the light conductor sections (16a-16c) to the junction (30). Furthermore, the invention relates to an exterior mirror of a vehicle, which is equipped with a light unit.

  • Patent number: 7246584
    Abstract: A force-transmitting arrangement (4) for a valve train (1) of an internal-combustion engine (2) is provided with hydraulic valve play compensation device (6) with a hollow cylindrical compensation piston (13). This borders, on one end, a working space (28) of the valve play compensation device (6) and, on the other end, a hydraulic medium reservoir (29), which is used for supplying the working space (32) and which is connected to a hydraulic medium supply (18) of the internal-combustion engine (2). Here, a run-off safety device (27) at least partially prevents a hydraulic medium flow from the hydraulic medium reservoir (29) in the direction of the hydraulic medium supply (23). The hydraulic medium reservoir (29) includes an inner storage space (15) enclosed by the compensation piston (13) and at least one outer storage space (52) located outside the compensation piston (13).
