Patent number: 6913311Abstract: A guide mechanism for a cover of a sliding roof has at least one slotted guide that is coupled to the cover and adapted to be moved between a raised position, an initial position, and a lowered position. To lock the cover against horizontal displacement in the raised position, an extension provided on the slotted guide engages with a positive fit into the profiled rail fixed to the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2003Date of Patent: July 5, 2005Assignee: ArvinMeritor GmbHInventors: Edgar Weiss, Hubert Bachmann

Patent number: 6793278Abstract: A draft deflector for a sliding or sliding-lifting vehicle roof structure such as a sunroof includes a base body, which guarantees dimensional stability and strength, and flexible plastics elements secured to the base body. The flexible elements reduce vibration, wind noise or both. In some examples, the flexible elements are injection molded onto the base body at all locations which are relevant in terms of noise generation.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2003Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: ArvinMeritor GmbHInventors: Edgar Weiss, Bardo Imgram

Patent number: 6779836Abstract: A guide mechanism for a cover of a sliding/tilting roof has at least one lateral profiled rail, at least one bearing part each provided along the profiled rail for shifting the cover and at least one intermediate part which is connected with the bearing part and at least indirectly mechanically coupled to the cover. The intermediate part, for instance a slotted guide or a guiding part, has an extension which projects into the profiled rail, blocking the intermediate part from moving outside the profiled rail. The connection between the bearing part and the intermediate part is therefore additionally locked.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2003Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignee: ArvinMeritor GmbHInventors: Hubert Bachmann, Edgar Weiss

Patent number: 6676204Abstract: A vehicle roof comprises a roof opening, a cover which can be raised and is provided for closing the roof opening, and a cover liner which can be positioned underneath the cover. The vehicle roof further comprises a linkage provided between the cover and the cover liner, by which the cover and the cover liner can be coupled to each other during raising the cover and by which a rear edge of the cover liner is lifted during raising the cover. The linkage has a drag lever which swivels during raising the cover. The drag lever is supported in a swivel bearing on the side of the vehicle roof and has a first bearing for connection with the cover as well as a second bearing for connection with the cover liner. The swivel bearing on the side of the vehicle roof and in the raised state of the cover lies underneath the first bearing for connection with the cover and is mounted to a guide by means of which the swivel bearing on the side of the vehicle roof is moved upwards during raising the cover.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2002Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: ArvinMeritor GmbHInventors: Edgar Weiss, Holger Oechel, Bardo Imgram

Patent number: 6663172Abstract: A frame is provided for vehicle roofs of all usual types, such as sliding sunroofs, slide-and-tilt sunroofs and top ridge sliding sunroofs (spoiler roofs), preferably having a motor drive for the cover that can be moved in relation to a roof opening by means of a cable drive system. The frame assembled from few parts comprises a plastic injection molded front member having cable channels open at the bottom and molded-on corner areas for the fixed attachment of the frame side members guiding the cover on guide rails, the side members preferably being cut to length from continuously cast aluminum profiles. The cable channels open at the bottom, into which the drive cables can easily be laid, are closed by at least one likewise plastic injection molded cover element. A motor mounting plate is provided as separate plastic injection molded part, so that it can be formed with high dimensional accuracy from another plastic particularly suited to the drive requirements.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2002Date of Patent: December 16, 2003Assignee: ArvinMeritor GmbHInventors: Edgar Weiss, Bardo Imgram, Holger Oechel, Hubert Bachmann

Patent number: 4805724Abstract: A sound-absorbing panel includes a synthetic foam mat having a given size, a synthetic fiber web having substantially the given size, a first attachment for attaching the synthetic foam mat to the synthetic fiber web at least pointwise, and a second attachment for attaching the sound-absorbing panel to a wall for damping sound radiation of the wall while maintaining a distance between the sound-absorbing panel and the wall.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 1987Date of Patent: February 21, 1989Assignee: Odenwald-Chemie GmbHInventors: Werner Stoll, Edgar Weiss

Patent number: 4762746Abstract: A fire resistant fire-retarding laminate includes foaming-agent layers combined with at least one restricting layer, which restrains expansion of the foaming-agent layer under heat and fire exposure and improves the mechanical integrity of the composite without any substantial heat induced expansion of its own. Instead of glass or graphite fillers, special non-graphitic carbon fillers are used in fibrous or platelet-like form. Incompletely carbonized material amoung others can be used. Such fillers provide improved restraint on the expansion of the foaming-agent layer and cooperate to preserve its structural integrity.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1987Date of Patent: August 9, 1988Assignee: Odenwald-Chemie GmbHInventors: Ludwig Wesch, Edgar Weiss

Patent number: 4547526Abstract: In order to improve the flame-protection effect without substantially impairing the mechanical properties of the articles covered with the flame protection agent, the flame protection agent is provided with a compound in a proportion by weight of 7.5 to 30% which contains at least one sulfo group or sulfonium ion. This compound is preferably a water-soluble ammonium salt. As binder there is used an aqueous solution or aqueous dispersion of an organic material, particularly of an acrylate or of a polymer or copolymer having a base of acrylic acid ester. It is particularly advantageous if substantially open-cell polyurethane foam having a base of polyether is impregnated with such a flame-protection agent which contains an ammonium salt of an aminosulfonic acid in a proportion of about 12%. Polyurethane foams impregnated in this manner are particularly well suited for use in cushionings of articles or in premises for which class B1 fire protection is required.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1984Date of Patent: October 15, 1985Inventors: Manhal Al-Tabaqchali, Ludwig Wesch, Edgar Weiss
