Abstract: The present invention relates to a metal strip, which can be wound up into a coil (1; 14) and which has at least two joined-together portions (2, 3; 4, 5, 6); these portions (2, 3; 4, 5, 6) are joined together, adjacent one another, substantially in the transverse direction of the metal strip (1; 14). The invention also relates to a production process for creating profile parts (7; 10), using the metal strip (1; 14) that has different portions (2, 3; 4, 5, 6) in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A cable window lifting mechanism lifts a window pane (5) in a vehicle, in particular an automobile, in a first direction. The window lifting mechanism includes two guide sections (1, 2), with two sliding elements (3, 4) each moveably guided on a respective one of the guide sections (2, 1). A cable (6) engages at least one sliding element (3, 4). Moreover, the window pane (5) is supported by both sliding elements (3, 4). One of the sliding elements (3) is guided on the associated guide section (2) so as to minimize movement of the one of the sliding elements normal to the first direction. The other sliding element (4) is guided at least over partial sections of the associated guide section (1) to minimize movement of the other sliding element normal to a plane of the window pane, while permitting a compensating movement of the other sliding element in the vehicle's longitudinal axis when the window pane (5) is displaced.

Abstract: An interior paneling element (1) for a motor vehicle door (10) is described, which element is designed as a bearer of functional units or parts (11). At least some of the functional units or parts (11), in particular the cavity-reinforcement means (2), the guide rail (3, 4) of the window opener and optionally a strut of the side-impact protection (5) are fastened on the element (1) in the form of a static framework (12).
