Abstract: A multi-layer sensor (10) and a use for the sensor (10) are described. This sensor is multi-layered in construction. 5 An optical wave guide (18) is passed through the sensor (10) such that in the event of an external application of force the force acts on the optical wave guide.

Abstract: A fixing device is provided for fixing a headlight to a motor vehicle. The fixing device includes means for holding a headlight housing. The fixing device also includes means for mounting the fixing device on a part of the vehicle. The means for mounting the fixing device is constructed so that the fixing device is adjustable relative to the part of the vehicle in at least one direction before being secured to the part of the vehicle.

Abstract: A structural component for mounting in a lower region of a motor vehicle bumper arrangement comprises a longitudinal dimension and is constructed in cross-section such that its spring characteristic in relation to bending stress in a direction (x) substantially at right angles to its longitudinal dimension corresponds substantially to the spring characteristic of a part of the bumper arrangement located above and adjacent to the structural component.

Abstract: A front bumper cover is provided for an automotive vehicle. The front bumper cover includes a plurality of cover parts and a radiator grille having attachment points for fixedly securing the plurality of cover parts thereto. The radiator grille is adapted to mount to the vehicle thereby acting as a load-bearing element for supporting the front bumper cover.

Abstract: A radiator grille (10) for mounting in a motor vehicle radiator grille arrangement and a method of producing same, includes radiator grille having a substantially rigid frame (11) and at least one bar element (12) arranged within the frame (11). The bar element includes at least one end (12a) which, in the unassembled state of the radiator grille (10), is spaced from a portion (18) of the frame (11) and in the mounted state of the radiator grille (10) is forced into contact with the portion (18). The end (12a) of the bar element (12) and the portion (18) of the frame (11) being movable relative to one another as a result of the external application of force.

Abstract: A method of producing an antenna structure for an automotive vehicle comprising the steps of providing a substrate element and arranging the antenna structure on one surface of the substrate element.

Abstract: A cover strip and a sealing arrangement are described. The cover strip described serves to cover a window shaft in a motor vehicle and comprises a cover part and a carrier part. Furthermore, the cover strip is designed to surround a plastics insert of a sealing arrangement at least partially, and is made in one piece.

Abstract: An outer part of a motor vehicle having an element and a carrier part. The emblem and carrier part are formed in one piece with the carrier part. The carrier part can take many forms such as a vehicle grille or decorative trim. The outer part can be formed using a method of injection molding and can have a variety of surface finishes.

Abstract: A radiator grille arrangement for a motor vehicle includes first and second fastening mechanism for securing a radiator grille in place. The first and second fastening mechanism are spaced apart from one another substantially corresponding to a vertical extent of the radiator grille. The first fastening mechanism is provided on a lower edge of the radiator grille and is non-releasable. The second fastening mechanism is formed by a guide link device consisting of a groove and a pin guided therein. The groove at least partially extends in a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle and the pin is movable within the groove as a result of an external action of force.

Abstract: A radiator casing (1) on a bumper (3) of a vehicle, particularly of a motor car, is achieved using a mounting such that the radiator casing (1) is movable, be means of bearings (7,9) arranged on both sides of the radiator, on a swivel axis (13) disposed transversely to the direction of travel, on the one hand downwards diagonally with respect to the direction of travel into a stop position and after reaching the stop is pivotable in the direction of travel into a lockable basic position and on the other hand in the event of a collision is movable into and unlockable in a deflected position which can be moved back in the opposite direction to the direction of travel.

Abstract: A roof module of a motor vehicle, wherein the roof module is manufactured from a plastic and a roof box device is integrally formed with the roof module in one piece.

Abstract: A roof module of a motor vehicle with at least one securing device for a roof carrier system, the securing device being formed in one piece with the roof module.
