  • Rear wing device
    Patent number: 7607718
    Abstract: A rear wing device for a motor vehicle has a wing body which extends transversely with respect to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and horizontally and is disposed laterally between two side parts extending parallel to the longitudinal direction and vertically. The wing body is fastened to each side part by a retaining device, wherein the retaining devices permit adjustment of an angle of attack of a profile of the wing body in relation to a horizontal orientation. The adjustability of the wing body can be improved in that each retaining device has a guide body which can be adjusted by an adjusting screw along the adjusting screw and is coupled via a first guide pin to a wing support to which the wing body is attached. The wing support can be adjusted in a manner guided by a second guide pin and a third guide pin in slideways.

  • Adapter device for a grab handle
    Patent number: 7607708
    Abstract: An adapter device for a grab handle has a deformation element with at least two end regions. The end regions of the deformation element are connected to each other by at least one web and each have at least one fastening element for the grab handle. The deformation element is configured in such a manner that, in a first loading situation (normal use situation), it is supported by the retaining element and, in a second loading situation (crash situation), it is deformed in the region of the at least one web. The grab handle can thus be mounted in an extremely stable manner with regard to loading in a pulling direction, i.e. in the normal use situation, without the energy-absorbing deformation properties of the adapter device being adversely affected in the crash situation.

  • Method and control device for a turbocharger having a variable turbine flow cross section
    Patent number: 7603859
    Abstract: An actual value of a turbine flow cross section of a turbocharger of an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle is set for a change in the load on the internal combustion engine from a larger load value to a smaller load value. The actual value setting of the smaller load value is delayed to a setpoint value that is specified for the smaller load value under stationary conditions. A device controls the progression of the method.

  • Anchoring configuration for a rear section of a top cloth and convertible
    Patent number: 7600805
    Abstract: An anchoring configuration for a rear end section of a top cloth. The anchoring configuration has a fastening strip, which can be connected by a first strip section to the top cloth and by a second strip section releasably to a body element of a convertible. The fastening strip is of a flexible construction at least in some regions, and has a water collecting profile which runs in a transverse direction of the convertible and is disposed below the rear end section of the top cloth. In order to simplify the anchoring configuration, the first strip section of the fastening strip is configured as the water collecting profile.

  • Device for coupled attachment of an exhaust system to an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 7597173
    Abstract: A vibration adjustment of a drive assembly is achieved by way of a pivoted mount about a longitudinal vehicle axis of an articulated column. An exhaust system with exhaust mufflers and catalytic converters is used to shift a total powertrain vibration to a lower engine speed, and a significantly improved vibrational behavior can be achieved at idle speed.

  • Protective device for vehicle occupants
    Patent number: 7588266
    Abstract: A protective device for vehicle occupants of a motor vehicle contains a restraining element and a connecting device for the restraining element in order to be able to connect the latter releasably to the motor vehicle and to be able to hold it in a use position. The connecting device contains for this purpose an upper and lower fastening device. In order, in particular, to optimize the operation of the protective device, the lower fastening device has, on the one hand, a locking device which locks the restraining element in the rest position, and, on the other hand, a clamping device which keeps the restraining element clamped—with respect to the upper fastening device—in the use position.

  • Motor vehicle door
    Patent number: 7581779
    Abstract: A motor vehicle door has an outer module and an inner module. The outer module contains an outer panel and an inner frame part to which an impact support and hinges can be fixed. For the motor vehicle door to have a simplified configuration and a low weight while having a high degree of rigidity, the inner frame part of the outer module is formed by a single-piece diecast part made of a metal alloy. The inner module contains an upper encircling window frame and a lower assembly support sheet. The upper window frame is configured as a single-piece diecast part made of a metal alloy. A lower frame part of the upper window frame is connected to the upper border region of the assembly support sheet with a longitudinally running hollow support being formed, and the upper window frame is connected locally to the inner frame part.
