Abstract: A rollover protection system for a motor vehicle has a deformation crossbar (2) with a profiled strut (3) extending along a vertical axis (6) of the vehicle, and a deformation element (4) is held at a first end (9) of the profiled strut (3). The first end (9) faces away from a floor of the motor vehicle. The deformation element (4) has a first outer surface (11) that faces away from the profiled strut (3) to define an impact surface, and the deformation element (4) is designed as a strut profile extending in the direction of a longitudinal axis (8) of the motor vehicle. The profiled strut (3) has a contact surface (10) that faces the deformation element (4) and on which the deformation element (4) is held. The deformation element (4) is designed to at least partially match an inner contour of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A rollover protection element (4) having a rollover element (5, 10, 110, 210) of elongate configuration and a bumper element (6, 11, 111, 211) connected at a free end of the rollover element (5, 10, 110, 210). The bumper element (6, 11, 111, 211) extends in a width direction of the rollover element (5, 10, 110, 210). The bumper element (6, 11, 111, 211) has a circumferential-side wall and webs that are arranged within the wall, a lower-side region of the wall of the bumper element (6, 11, 111, 211) is connected to the rollover element (5, 10, 110, 210). The webs are arranged in a curved and/inclined manner such that none of the webs lies perpendicularly on the lower-side region of the wall.

Abstract: The deformation element has a profile part and may be of U-shaped profile with legs in cross section or may be of single-shear configuration. The deformation element has at least one side wall formed in the manner of an accordion with z-shaped deformation folds. The predefined deformation folds are provided in a direction transverse to an acting force and are arranged opposed to one another.

Abstract: A folding-top compartment lid is held on a mounting support which can be moved into an open and a closed position by opening levers. To lock the folding-top compartment lid, locking hooks are provided, and these can be activated along with the opening levers in accordance with the control of the latter.

Abstract: A folding top compartment lid, in particular a folding top compartment lid with an integrated engine bay lid, is pivoted into an open position and into a closed position by a so-called four-bar hinge arrangement. An actuating device is articulatedly connected to a rear and a front setting-out lever of the four-bar hinge mechanism, which actuating device is coupled to a locking device which contains locking hooks. The actuating device with the setting-out levers can be activated by a hydraulic cylinder so as to pivot into the open and closed positions in such a way that the folding top compartment lid can be moved from the locked closed position into an unlocked open position and back from the open position into the closed position.

Abstract: In order to reinforce a rear part of a convertible vehicle, reinforcement elements are provided on both sides on a rollover protection device. The reinforcement elements are composed, at the rear side of the device when viewed in the direction of travel, of at least two diagonal struts which extend toward one another. Further reinforcement elements are composed, at the front side of the device when viewed in the direction of travel, of at least two lateral stays which are arranged diverging from one another. The diagonal struts and the stays are secured supported on the vehicle body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a module front for a switchgear module, particularly a slide-in module, comprising a control device, the control device being integrated in the module front, and the module front forms an integral component of the switchgear module. The invention relates to a switchgear module, particularly a slide-in module provided with an inventive module front, and to a switchgear equipped with at least one switchgear module of this type.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric switching system which comprises a housing and components which are arranged therein and which are embodied as a control and/or measuring unit. Said components are arranged in modular-type drawers. At least one base module comprises at least one module support profile, in addition to lateral walls and front-sided insertion elements. One front wall of the base module, preferably the front side thereof, is formed by a control unit and the opposite front wall thereof of the measuring unit, and the dimensions of the control and measuring unit are adapted to the size of the module.

Abstract: A motor vehicle, in particular cabriolet, has a rollover protection device disposed behind the seats. The rollover protection device has a supporting frame, which extends in a vehicle transverse direction and which is fastened to the adjoining vehicle supporting structure, and at least one rollover protection cassette which contains a deployable rollover body. The supporting frame contains lateral upright column sections, a transversely running connecting profile and support elements which are connected to the column sections. Here, it is important that the at least one rollover protection cassette or a housing thereof is a constituent supporting part of the multi-part supporting frame which extends in the vehicle transverse direction.

Abstract: A wind-deflecting device for a convertible includes a center part of the wind-deflecting device, which in its upright operating position is arranged between spaced-apart bar sections of a rollover bar and is held in place on the rollover bar via releasable locking connections. Each releasable locking connection includes a receiver fixed to the rollover bar and interlocking with a laterally supported holding element of the center part. The locking connection further has a pivotably supported spring-loaded notch lever to release the locking connection. To enable the releasable locking connection to be released from a sitting position and to increase ease of operation, the notch lever is arranged on the fixed receiver and a pushbutton interacting with the notch lever is provided on the receiver to pivot the notch lever.

Abstract: A first, fork-shaped component accommodates a second component, in which case an articulated connection between the two components takes place by means of an inserted pin. In order to establish a rattle-free connection between the two components with a good functioning and a simple mounting and a small space requirement in the longitudinal direction of the pin, it is provided that one sleeve respectively, which receives the pin, is inserted into bores of the first fork-shaped component, on the side facing the second component, each sleeve having an outwardly directed, elastic ring segment which, under prestress, is supported on the two components. In addition, on the side facing away from the ring segment, inwardly directed elastic noses are molded to the sleeves and reach behind the slid-in pin without a head and secure it against a falling-out.
