  • Publication number: 20240309690
    Abstract: A fastening device for a vehicle window lifter, having at least one guide rail for slidable guidance of a carrier for a window glass, includes a pivot piece with a base body and two pivot pins which are formed thereon along a rotational axis and have two parallel planar surfaces. The pivot pin or each pivot pin has an axial notch. The guide rail has a connecting portion with mutually aligned pivot grooves for receiving and pivotably mounting the pivot pins of the pivot piece. A vehicle window lifter for adjusting a window glass of a motor vehicle, is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9701846
    Abstract: A radiation-reflecting road marking, comprising: metal particles having a diameter of between 0.5-2.5 mm, wherein the metal particles are particles comprising aluminum, magnesium, zinc or an alloy thereof. Also, a method for producing the radiation-reflecting road marking, where the radiation-reflecting road marking is a cold plastic, by mixing components of a two-part system, if necessary, to form a mixture, applying the mixture to a road surface, and adding the metal particles and optionally glass beads during or directly after an application of the cold plastic to the road surface.

  • Publication number: 20160017151
    Abstract: The present invention encompasses an innovative concept for the marking of trafficways, more particularly roads. The application qualities and lifetime of these new markings are comparable with those of the prior art. The markings also possess properties comparable with those of the prior art in respect of night visibility, back-in-service time, and surface quality. An additional contribution of the markings of the present invention, however, is that they can be used to support modern driver assistance systems and autonomous driving. With this in mind, the present invention relates more particularly to road markings which, building on established systems, are equipped with additional reflection capacity for electromagnetic radiation, more particular for microwaves and/or infrared radiation.
