  • Patent number: 9475417
    Abstract: Container receiving apparatus for a vehicle interior having an upper supporting frame and a lower support base, the supporting frame being mounted in a receiving housing such that it can be moved linearly between a retracted rest position and an extended receiving position. The support base is mounted for movement between a supporting functional position and a rest position. A blocking device is provided and is active so as to limit movement or force in such a way that the support base is secured in its functional position against unintentional upward pivoting.

  • Patent number: 6871894
    Abstract: A holding bar of a safety net separating a luggage compartment from a passenger compartment of an automobile vehicle has a tubular body from which holding members project at its end to engage in brackets close to the roof of the vehicle. Within the tube, the holders have enlarged ends which apply compression force to respective deformation bodies braced against constrictions of the tube so that the kinetic energy of a crash is converted to axial decompression deformation of those bodies. The bodies may be injection molded onto the shanks or can be formed of a plurality of parts and clipped together therearound.
