Abstract: A closeable dispensing device for dispensing a liquid, viscous or pasty medium contained in a container has a first opening for dispensing the medium located in the container, a second opening for ventilating and/or venting the container, and a closure device which can be actuated in order to produce and break a connection between the first opening and the container and between the second opening and the container. The dispensing device described is distinguished in that the closure device is designed such that, when actuated as is required in order to produce a connection between the first opening and the container, it first of all produces a connection between the second opening and the container and only then produces the connection between the first opening and the container. Such a dispensing device is straightforward to use and, nevertheless, cannot under any circumstances open of its own accord.

In the process, the inside of the outer pane is coated with a complete, functional electrochrome package. Furthermore, a transparent pane structure produced using this process is provided.

Abstract: A closeable discharger for discharging a liquid, viscous or pasty material contained in a container, has an outlet used to discharge the medium, a channel extending between the container and the outlet, and a closing device which is used to close the channel. The discharger is characterized in that the closing device is formed by a rotatable part with an axis of rotation extending across the channel. The discharger is easy and simple to use but cannot open automatically, irrespective of the circumstances.

Abstract: A sealable dispenser device for dispensing a fluid, viscous or pasty medium contained in a container, has a dispensing opening for dispensing the medium in the container and a closure device. By operation of the closure device a connection between the dispensing opening and the container may be produced or broken. The closure device is formed by an element that may be displaced along the connection between the dispensing opening and the container. The closure device is embodied such that the above must be displaced onto the container in order to generate a connection between the dispensing opening and the container and must be displaced away from the container in order to break the connection between the dispensing device and the container. Such a device is simple and easy to operate yet cannot open itself under any circumstances.

Abstract: A solar cover for a motor vehicle roof, which is provided with an outside transparent cover plate (12) and an inside cover (14) between which at least one solar cell (18) is embedded, an electrical contact (28) from which the solar current from the at least one solar cell is directed to the motor vehicle, and an electrical connector element which produces electrical contact between the at least one solar cell and the contact is embedded between the cover plate and the cover. The contact (28) is located in the horizontal direction outside of the area of the cover plate (12) which is covered by the cover (14) and the electrical connector (26) extends in the horizontal direction beyond the area covered by the cover to the contact.

Abstract: A motor vehicle roof with a roof opening which can be closed or at least partially exposed by a displaceable closure element (10) which has an electrical element (12), an displaceable headliner part (20) for concealing the closure element and at least one coupling element (18) which acts as a driver to entrain the headliner part in the displacement motion of the closure element. The coupling element furthermore provides for electrical contact between the electrical element of the closure element and a contact element (32) which is provided on the headliner part to establish electrical contact between the electrical element of the closure element and a vehicle-mounted electrical element.

Abstract: In a solar cover for a motor vehicle roof (2) with a carrier plate (10), a plurality of solar cells (18) located on the carrier plate, and a cover layer (36) which covers the side of the solar cells facing away from the carrier plate, there is a plastic injection molded part that service as the carrier plate (10) and in which contours (12, 16) are molded for positioning of the solar cells (18). The contours prevent the solar cells from becoming off-center during installation of the solar cover.

Abstract: A motor vehicle roof with a solar generator which is securely attached on the outside on the solid roof skin for producing solar current for the vehicle. The solar generator can be adjusted between a first spatially compact configuration and a second, less spatially compact configuration in which its active solar surface projected onto the plane of the roof is larger than in the first configuration. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle roof with an attachment element which runs in the lengthwise direction of the roof and which is mounted externally on the solid roof skin and which is made such that a mobile flat solar generator can be pushed into the attachment element and is held in the working configuration by it to produce solar current.

Abstract: A cover for a motor vehicle roof has a cover plate, a plastic frame which is foamed or injected around the edge of the cover plate, and that forms an edge gap seal on the outside edge of the plastic frame. The plastic frame on the outside edge has a groove which is open to the bottom and which is bordered to the outside by a lip which forms the edge gap seal and in which there is a plastic insert of a material which is softer than the material of the plastic frame. Further, it is a process for producing one such cover in which the plastic frame is injected or foamed on the edge of the cover plate, optionally with inclusion of the edge area of the reinforcing frame, and in which in the course of injection or foaming the plastic frame or in a subsequent step the plastic insert is placed in the groove of the plastic frame.
