Patent number: 9937843Abstract: An apparatus for holding a liquid-filled vessel includes a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature related to the temperature of the liquid in the vessel and a control unit connected to the temperature sensor. The control unit takes the sensed temperature as a basis for prompting an action. At a sensed temperature that is above a prescribed hot temperature limit value, the control unit then activates and/or influences a function that increases the safety of the vehicle occupant.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiegesellschaftInventor: Olga Birth

Patent number: 9039318Abstract: A component connection includes a first vehicle component which has a male fixing element projecting from the first vehicle component, and a second vehicle component, which has a female fixing element that is intended for receiving the male fixing element. The male fixing element is inserted into the female fixing element in an insertion direction. The male fixing element has a functional head, which has partially or completely the shape of a sphere or partially or completely a shape similar to a sphere, and the male fixing element has a foot region, which is connected to the second component in a positive locking manner. The functional head has an excessive dimension in relation to the female fixing element in essence transversely to the insertion direction, so that the two vehicle components can be clamped together in a detachable manner at the fixing elements.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiegesellschaftInventors: Ingo Mantei, Johann Van Niekerk
