Abstract: A trunk-specific functional arrangement for a motor vehicle has a plurality of guide rails which are integrated in at least one boundary surface of the trunk and run, in particular, longitudinally and/or transversely in the boundary surface. At least one functional carriage is retained in a form-fitting manner in the guide rail and is arranged such that it can be displaced along the guide rail, and comprises at least one blocking apparatus which is designed for releasing or arresting the functional carriage. The functional carriage is mounted on the guide rail for rolling movement by at least one rolling element.

Abstract: A trunk-specific functional arrangement for a motor vehicle has at least two parallel guide rails which are assigned to at least one trunk-boundary surface, at least one functional carriage being mounted in a longitudinally displaceable manner in each guide rail, and blocking apparatus being provided in order to arrest the functional carriage in a form-fitting manner relative to the guide rail. Each guide rail is assigned at least one functional carriage, and there is provided a transversely extending unit which is dimensionally stable at least in certain sections, and which extends between the guide rails and is connected to the functional carriage.

Abstract: A through-seat holder for a motor vehicle has a vehicle frame having generally parallel longitudinal members and transverse side members interconnecting ends of the longitudinal members and defining therewith a throughgoing opening. The longitudinal members are spaced apart by a predetermined transverse distance and form a pair of parallel outwardly facing guide faces flanking the opening and spaced apart by a predetermined transverse dimension greater than the transverse distance. A device frame fittable in the opening of the vehicle frame has generally parallel longitudinal members and transverse side members interconnecting ends of the respective longitudinal members. One of the device-frame transverse members is formed with a rim having a transverse width equal substantially to the dimension so that the rim cannot pass through the opening when extending transversely. The rim forms a pair of transversely spaced contact points engageable with the faces and defining a transversely extending pivot axis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a ski bag having a reinforcing element in at least one region. This reinforcing element prevents the steel edges of the skis from cutting open the ski bag in the event of a crash such that parts cannot be thrown into the passenger compartment through the ski bag or the skis cannot be thrown into the passenger compartment through this opening.

Abstract: A motor vehicle has a safety apparatus having an extensible safety net having an outer edge, a rigid end element provided on the outer edge and having a fitting, and a holder on the motor-vehicle body having a seat in which the fitting is engageable when the net is deployed. A latch element is movable in the holder between a holding position extending into the seat and retaining the fitting therein in the deployed condition of the net and a freeing position clear of the seat and permitting the fitting to move into and out of the seat. This latch element has a control edge operable to displace the latch element into the freeing position. An actuator on the end element is engageable with the fitting when the fitting is retained by the latch element in the seat and can displace the latch element into the freeing position.

Abstract: A storage compartment for a motor-vehicle partition has an annular vehicle frame set in the partition, a container set in the vehicle frame and having an open side, and a mount releasably retaining the container in the vehicle frame. A cover fittable over the open side is adapted to carry a piece of vehicular accessory equipment, e.g. a cup holder, DVD or CD player, or the like.

Abstract: A storage compartment for a motor vehicle having a partition has an annular vehicle frame set in the partition, a container set in the vehicle frame and having an open side, a cover fittable over the open side, and a mounting system for releasably securing the cover over the open side and permitting complete separation of the cover from the container.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle seat back formed with a throughgoing aperture has an annular frame fixed in the aperture and at least one electrical contact exposed on the aperture frame. An insert has a frame complementarily fittable with the aperture frame, an electrically powered module, and at least one electrical contact on the insert frame electrically connected to the module and engageable when the insert is fitted to the aperture frame with the contact of the aperture frame. Respective latch formations on the frames are relatively displaceable between a holding position securing the insert in the aperture frame with the contacts in electrical connection with each other and a releasing position permitting the insert to be separated from the aperture frame. A latch mechanism on the aperture frame displaces the latch formation of the aperture frame into the releasing position for freeing the insert from the aperture frame.

Abstract: A transport container holder has a holding frame which is releasably engaged in a fastening frame forming a passthrough to the trunk of a motor vehicle. An actuating member pulls the tractive element which engages a pair of locking bars on opposite limbs of the fastening frame against springs which are attached at the other ends of the locking bar so that pins of the locking bars release the holding frame.

Abstract: A transport container for a motor vehicle having a partition between two compartments has a generally rectangular vehicle frame set in the partition and a generally rectangular device frame fittable in the opening of the vehicle frame. Respective pivot formations on the vehicle frame define a pivot axis parallel to and between vehicle-frame upper and lower members. Respective pivot formations on the device frame between and parallel to device-frame upper and lower members and fittable to the respective vehicle-frame pivot formations allow pivoting of the device frame into a mounted position set in the vehicle frame with the members of the device frame closely juxtaposed with the respective members of the vehicle frame and the frames in direct contact with each other at abutment locations offset from the axis. A latch offset from the axis releasably secures the device frame in the mounted position in the vehicle frame.

The formations of the arrays all are identically spaced within the respective arrays. A mounting plate has a bottom face formed with a plurality of mounting formations engageable in the mounting formations of the arrays and spaced identically to the mounting formations of the arrays. The mounting plate further has a top face formed with an array of mounting formations spaced identically to the mounting formations of the arrays. A device plate has a bottom face formed with a plurality of mounting formations engageable in the mounting formations of the arrays and of the mounting plate top face and a top face. A freight-holding device is fixed to the top face of the device plate.

Abstract: An apparatus for storing and transporting elongated objects in a motor vehicle has a box having a floor and a plurality of sides together defining a chamber. The box is adapted to be secured with the floor horizontal in a motor vehicle. An open annular frame hinged on one of the sides is displaceable between a down position lying on the box and an up position standing transversely up from the box. A sleeve-like bag or container has a closed end and an opposite open end secured to the frame. The container is collapsible into a compacted condition and fittable in a stowed position when in the compacted condition in the chamber. A cover fits over the box to close the chamber and contain the frame when in the down position of the frame and the stowed position of the container. The cover is mounted on the box by an attachment allowing the cover to move on the box independently from and relative to the frame.
