  • Patent number: 9720272
    Abstract: A method for producing a display unit includes: inserting a covering glass into a first holder of a positioning device until the covering glass lies on a first contact surface parallel to the covering glass; thereafter inserting a bonding frame into a second holder of the positioning device until the bonding frame lies on a second contact surface parallel to the first contact surface. The bonding frame has a leg parallel to the covering glass, the peripheral edge of which leg directed toward the covering glass surrounds the peripheral edge of the covering glass at a distance forming a groove. Thereafter the groove between the covering glass and the leg of the bonding frame is filled with a first adhesive that connects these two parts to each other, and thereafter the surface of the covering glass facing away from an observer is covered with the layer of transparent bonding mass.

  • Patent number: 8459603
    Abstract: A motor vehicle screen device having a screen that can be driven by a driving mechanism between an inactive position within a cavity of a dashboard and an approximately vertical active position outside the cavity and from the active position into the inactive position. The screen is provided with spaced-apart guiding elements which are guided within guides that run nearly horizontal, perpendicular to the movement path of the screen. The monitor can be driven such that the guiding elements thereof are movable within the guides. At least one of the guiding elements is locked at the active position end of the guide by a locking mechanism.
