Abstract: A switch group for the remote control of a vehicle seat adjustable via actuating drives, having two switching elements, which symbolize a seat cushion and a backrest of the vehicle seat, are held in a position relative to one another which corresponds to the use position of the seat, and are arranged so as to be accessible from above on a bearing surface which the user of the seat can reach. The switching element symbolizing the seat cushion is mounted on a horizontal surface portion of the bearing surface. To make the switch group highly suitable for expansion by additional control functions, the bearing surface for the switch group merges behind the switching element symbolizing the seat cushion into a surface portion angled obliquely upwards.

Abstract: A door lock illuminating system disposed in a handle of a door, and, in particular, a door of a motor vehicle. The illuminating system being switchable by circuit elements connected to the handle, the handle is constructed as a unilaterally pivotable pull handle and a light emitting arrangement is disposed in such a fashion so as to be exposed only when the pull handle is pulled to an operative position. Electrical contacts are disposed in such a manner that with the pull handle being pulled to the operative position the electrical circuit of the illuminating system is completed.

Abstract: An arrangement for the accommodation of winter sport equipment items, such as skis and accessories, e.g., ski poles and ski boots, on carriers secured to the roof of a motor vehicle. Two luggage-like containers disposed adjacent one another are thereby arranged on the carriers, of which one is provided on the inside with mounting supports for skis and is open toward the rear while the other is constructed for receiving ski poles and ski boots.
