Publication number: 20110101731Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle component made of plastic, in particular a vehicle body shell component, with at least one supporting layer, with at least one outer skin and with at least one tear-resistant splinter protection layer. According to the invention, the splinter protection layer is formed as a splinter protection fabric and is embedded in the at least one supporting layer, in particular in the edge region thereof, or between two adjacent layers. The splinter protection fabric has the effect of avoiding sharp-edged breaks of the vehicle component in an accident.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2009Publication date: May 5, 2011Inventors: Dirk Legler, Jan Woköck, Adam Wagner, Thomas Peter, Michael Kölbl, Thomas Stemmer, Petra Heuser, Detlev Mies, Hans-Jürgen Liebig

Patent number: 7896430Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle roof with a roof opening (12) and with a roof section (10) having a roof tip (16) pointing to the front of the vehicle (14) and a roof end (18) pointing to the rear of the vehicle (12). The roof section (10) can be moved along guide tracks (23), which run on both sides of the roof opening, out of a closed position, which closes the roof opening (2), into an open position, which at least partially opens up the roof opening. In order to optimize the vehicle roof to the effect that, in the partially open position and/or during the opening movement while under way, only very low travelling noises, if any at all, are produced and the highest requirements with regard to the sealing in the closed position are met, the opening movement from the closed position of the roof section begins with a movement of the roof end (18) into a lowered position below the roof opening (2).Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2007Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Webasto AGInventors: Peter Reihl, Thomas Dintner, Adam Wagner, Reinhard Filsinger, Stephan Kraus

Publication number: 20100220491Abstract: A low profile vehicle lamp assembly includes a housing having a top end, body with an interior portion and a lens portion covering the top end. The housing is adapted to fit within an opening in a surface such that the lens portion is substantially flush with the surface and the body is positioned behind the surface. In addition, circuitry is disposed within the interior portion of the housing and at least one light source is electrically connected to the circuitry.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2009Publication date: September 2, 2010Inventors: Gary Johnson, Adam Wagner, Robert C. Bartkowski, Timothy A. Dipenti, Kurt L. Schwab, Rodney Ehrlich

Patent number: 7681937Abstract: A closure device is provided for a cabriolet roof structure having at least one closure element which can assume an open position and a closed position, wherein the closure device is at least at times assigned a sensor device which can detect the open position and the closed position. According to the invention, it is provided that the sensor device comprises only one sensor which generates a first signal when the open position is reached and which generates a second signal when the closed position is reached. The invention also relates to a roof structure for a cabriolet and to a method for monitoring a closure device for a cabriolet roof structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2006Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Webasto AGInventors: Peter Pohl, Jürgen Stenvers, Adam Wagner, Thorsten Schmeier

Patent number: 7658524Abstract: The present invention is a small vehicle lamp comprised of: a generally cylindrically-shaped housing with an axial bore therethrough and forming a top opening and a bottom opening; a lens disposed on the top surface of the housing; a circuit board within the axial bore of the housing; at least one LED mounted on and electrically connected to the circuit board; a resistor disposed on the circuit board; a first cable wire and a second cable wire passing through the bottom opening of the housing and in electrical contact with the circuit board; and an potting compound disposed within the housing bore, in which the epoxy covers the resistor and circuit board and at least partially covers the LED and the cable wires. The lamp is configured such that it has a low profile and can be part of a system in which a plurality of the lamps are used on a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2005Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Truck-Lite Co., Inc.Inventors: Gary Johnson, Adam Wagner, Robert C.

Patent number: 7044539Abstract: A motor vehicle roof is provided which includes a cover which can be moved into a raised position at its rear edge by a carriage which can be moved along guide rails in interaction with a cover carrier connected to the cover via a crank arrangement. The crank arrangement has at least one crank path and at least one sliding element which fits into the crank arrangement. For simple and reliable support of the cover in all phases, the crank arrangement preferably includes at least two crank paths and two sliding elements, wherein the crank paths are shaped and arranged such that when the carriage moves, a first sliding element assumes support of the cover in the direction of the height of the vehicle roof (Z-direction), while a second sliding element applies support in the lengthwise direction of the vehicle (X-direction). As the carriage continues to be displaced, a reversal of the supporting action of the two sliding elements occurs.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2004Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Open Air Systems GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Ettl, Peter Reihl, Adam Wagner, Niko Graeter
