  • Patent number: 8579149
    Abstract: A drinking vessel holder includes a drinking vessel receptacle arranged in a housing and a height-adjustable bottom element. The bottom element is arranged in the drinking vessel receptacle and can be displaced between an upper rest position and a lower set-down position, wherein a drinking vessel can be set down on the bottom element in the drinking vessel receptacle. A positionally adjustable supporting element prevents the drinking vessel from toppling over, and wherein the bottom element in the drinking vessel receptacle forms a first piston or else is connected to a first piston and the supporting element forms an annular piston between the housing and the drinking vessel receptacle or else is connected to at least one second piston, wherein movement of at least one of the first piston, the second piston, and the annular piston causes fluid overpressure and fluid underpressure.

  • Publication number: 20080093890
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a component (07, 25, 33), particularly for a vehicle (01), the component (07, 25, 33) being produced from a foamed polymer with formation of a hard foam body (11, 26, 36, 45, 52, 60, 66), and at least one electric and/or electronic functional element (10, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 35) being provided on the component (07, 25, 33, 50). A flat conductor set (08, 27, 34, 44, 51, 57, 67, 71) is provided for the electrically conductive contacting of the functional element (10, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 28, 35), in which at least two printed conductors (13) are attached jointly on or in an essentially planar and deformable insulator element (12, 30, 37), the flat conductor set (08, 27, 34, 44, 51, 57, 67, 71) being at least partially embedded in foam in the hard foam body (11, 26, 36, 45, 52, 60, 66).

  • Patent number: 6217112
    Abstract: A vehicle bench seat is proposed which includes a seat surface and back rest as well as a middle arm rest. The middle arm rest is capable of swiveling between a substantially horizontal position parallel to the seat surface and a substantially vertical position, in which it is disposed in a recess of the back rest. The middle arm rest has at its front end a head rest, which in the vertical position of the arm rest projects above the top edge of the back rest. The head rest (5) has a recess (8) at the side which forms the top side when the middle arm rest (6) is horizontally aligned.
