Patent number: 10953806Abstract: The invention relates to a roof rack roof rack for a motor vehicle, having a roof rail profile. The roof rail profile is manufactured from a profile that has a constant cross-section in the longitudinal direction of the profile. Roof rail profiles with different designs can be formed from one and the same profile cross-section, namely by the shaping of a side or wall section present on the profile that delimits a passage. The roof rail profile, which preferably is designed as one piece, has different cross-sections in the longitudinal direction, namely unshaped surface sections and shaped surface sections.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: WKW Engineering GmbHInventors: Andreas Wacker, Michael Hoinka

Patent number: 10473290Abstract: A motor vehicle component consisting of a metal profile element and a lighting element. The profile element has a channel extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile with an externally accessible opening extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile. The lighting element serves to produce a strip of light radiating in the longitudinal direction of the profile, and is arranged in the channel of the profile element so as to be concealed behind an outer surface of the profile element so that the radiated light does not arrive directly at the outside, but instead is reflected outward by a reflecting surface of the profile element.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: WKW Erbsloeh Automotive GmbHInventors: Andreas Wacker, Bernd Fausten, Michael Hoinka

Publication number: 20190262880Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a roof rack, to an extruded profile for use in a method of this nature and to a novel roof rack for a vehicle. The novel roof rack for vehicles consists of an extruded profile (1) of aluminum, wherein the rail (13) is formed by a tubular profile part of the extruded profile (1), and the end feet (11, 12) are formed from a bend section of the tubular profile part. The roof rack has different cross-sections in the longitudinal direction, which are created by machining of at least one additional profile web on the extruded profile (1). Freely selectable lateral contours (20, 20?) for a roof rack can be achieved in this way.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2019Publication date: August 29, 2019Inventors: Andreas Wacker, Michael Hoinka, Norman Müller

Patent number: 9627002Abstract: An apparatus and method for editing digital picture computer files and digital audio computer files is disclosed herein. The apparatus and method for editing involves recording digital picture files and digital audio files. The digital picture files are copied onto a storage area network, and loaded onto a data storage system. Metadata from the digital picture files is uploaded onto a metadata database. The digital picture files on the storage area network are compressed. The compressed digital picture files are combined and synchronized with their corresponding digital audio files. These resultant digital files are then organized with their corresponding metadata. Once the metadata is incorporated into the resultant digital files, the files are edited and an editing decision list document as well as editing instructions are generated. Digital picture files are downloaded from the data storage system and conformed with digital audio files to produce the final media product.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2013Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: Black Mariah, Inc.Inventors: Angus Wall, Andreas Wacker
