  • Publication number: 20240157879
    Abstract: A sliding cover (2) for a center console (1) of a motor vehicle has a guide device (20) for sliding the sliding cover (2) in a guided manner. A holding element (5) holds the sliding cover (2) in one position. An actuating element (6) releases the holding element (5) by means of a release movement (10), and a deflecting device (11) transmits the release movement between the actuating element (6) and the holding element (5). The deflecting device (11) comprises a sliding element (2) and a rotating element (13) arranged on the sliding cover (2). The sliding cover (2) can be slid in a guided manner by means of the guide device (20) when the holding element (5) is released.

  • Patent number: 9724858
    Abstract: In a method for producing a backrest rear panel from at least one organic sheet, a plurality of reinforcing beads and a frame-shaped bead, which circles the reinforcing beads, are formed in at least one organic sheet. In a molding tool, a rib structure is formed in the circling frame-shaped bead on the rear of the backrest rear panel in such a manner that a rib structure closes flush with the rear of the backrest rear panel, with the result that an even surface is formed on the rear of the backrest rear panel. A bonded connection is formed between the organic sheet and rib structure with the result that a one-piece component is formed.
