  • Configuration for fastening and/or processing of two vehicle parts
    Patent number: 7891727
    Abstract: A configuration is provided for the handling and/or processing of a vehicle cowling part together with an add-on part. The parts are coordinated with each other prior to the handling and/or processing and temporarily fixed at a distance from each other by a fastening device and then can be handled and/or processed together, and after the handling and/or processing they are fixed onto each other in the final position. For quick and easy temporary fixation and final fixation, in which no additional securing aids are required, it is proposed that the fastening device is configured as a snap connection with a temporary fixation and a final fixation and makes a single piece with the vehicle cowling part and/or the add-on part.

  • Assembly of a motor vehicle body and control device of such an assembly
    Patent number: 7863846
    Abstract: A control device is provided for an assembly of a motor vehicle body, which assembly can be moved between at least two positions, specifically at least between a position retracted to the maximum extent and a position deployed to the maximum extent, in particular a spoiler. The control device contains a first sensor which transmits a signal to an evaluation device, which determines the position of the assembly from the signal of the first sensor, in dependence on the rotational speed of a motor which serves to move the assembly, and a second sensor which monitors a deployed position of the assembly and transmits a corresponding signal to the evaluation device. The evaluation device corrects the signal provided by the first sensor when the assembly is at least temporarily located in the position monitored by the second sensor and the signal provided by the first sensor is outside a tolerance range.

  • Motor vehicle with a head-protection side airbag
    Patent number: 7837224
    Abstract: A motor vehicle has a head-protecting side airbag disposed in a region of a lateral roof strut. The airbag is covered by a panel which can be pierced by the side airbag when the need arises. The panel merges laterally into a headliner which covers the vehicle roof on the inside facing the passenger compartment. It is essential for the invention that at least one fastening assembly is provided which is arranged at the transition of the panel to the headliner and fixes both the panel and the headliner to the roof strut.
