Patent number: 11996568Abstract: A traction battery device for an at least partially electrically driven motor vehicle includes at least one traction battery with at least one battery housing for housing battery modules and/or battery cells and at least one extinguishing apparatus for automatically carrying out an extinguishing process in an extinguishing situation. An extinguishing agent can be introduced into the battery housing with the extinguishing apparatus via at least one feed device. In this context, the extinguishing apparatus has at least one extinguishing-agent-generating device which, in the case of an extinguishing situation, is suitable for combining, and is designed to combine, at least two spatially separate extinguishing agent components in a controlled fashion and to mix them to form an extinguishing agent which can be extinguished and which can be introduced into the battery housing via the feed device.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.

Patent number: 11738674Abstract: A headrest module for a motor vehicle seat includes a base component and a headrest mounted in the base component. The headrest is configured to be guided in a vehicle longitudinal direction so as to be extendable and retractable relative to the base component. The headrest further includes a fixing mechanism having a first fixing element with teeth and a second fixing element configured to be moved towards the first fixing element for engagement between adjacent teeth. Contact faces of the two fixing elements are configured such that an extension of the headrest is possible under the action of a force on the headrest in an extension direction. A movement of the headrest in a retraction direction is possible under action of a release mechanism of the headrest module configured to move the second fixing element out of the region between the teeth of the first fixing element.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: DR. ING. H.C. F. PORSCHE AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Benjamin Rehfuss, Max Nitsch
