  • Patent number: 12097744
    Abstract: A closure element (1, 28) for a ball joint (16) in a vehicle. The closure element has a receptacle (2, 29) for accommodating an electronic component (6). To be able to reduce the effort and cost of creating an interface, between the closure element and the electronic component, the closure element (1, 28) has a receptacle (2, 29) which is made of a plastic material and is injection-molded onto one side (3) of the closure element (1).
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220032512
    Abstract: A vehicle component (1, 17, 31, 46, 55, 62) for a motor vehicle, with a structural component (7, 16, 30) and with a casing (2, 18, 32, 38, 56, 57, 79). The structural component (7, 16, 30) is at least partially or completely overmolded and/or embedded by casting in order to form the casing (2, 18, 32, 38, 56, 57, 79). To avoid any interruption of the casing (2, 18, 32, 38, 56, 57, 79) and/or interruption of corrosion protection in the area of the holding point (8), a holding point covering (12, 15, 39, 36, 45, 54, 61) is arranged at a holding point (8) for holding the structural component (7, 16, 30) in an injection-molding die and/or a casting mold.

  • Publication number: 20170106838
    Abstract: An actuation pedal of a motor vehicle includes a pedal body, an adjustment apparatus and a mount for mounting the adjustment apparatus to the pedal body. The pedal body includes a beam and a filling material, the filling material formed by stiffening members arranged in the interior of the beam. An adjustment apparatus includes an adjustable actuation tread. The mount is surrounded by the beam and formed by a cylindrical cut-out at a side of the beam facing the actuation tread and by a corresponding hollow cylindrical portion in the filling material.

  • Publication number: 20140144831
    Abstract: A filter top shell for an oil filter arranged in a transmission of a motor vehicle, having a pressure conduit arranged on a top side of the filter top shell, and wherein the pressure conduit generates a pressure boost to support a suction power of a pump connected to the filter, and wherein the pressure conduit is formed integrally with the filter top shell. Also proposed is an oil filter for a transmission of a motor vehicle, wherein the filter has a housing with a filter top shell having a pressure conduit and a filter bottom shell connectable thereto. Further, a method for producing a filter top shell for an oil filter arranged in a transmission of a motor vehicle, with an injection-molding process, wherein the filter top shell and a pressure conduit arranged on a top side of the filter top shell are integrally formed.

  • Publication number: 20080006117
    Abstract: A pedal arrangement for a motor vehicle is provided with a bearing block 1 having two legs 2, 3, with a bearing shaft 5 extending between the two legs 2, 3. At least one pedal is mounted on the bearing shaft 5, with two bearing elements 11, 12, which are arranged at the legs 2, 3 and which mesh with the two ends of the bearing shaft 5, and with two deformation struts 13, 14, which extend away from the two bearing elements 11, 12 starting from the bearing block 1. The two legs 2, 3 have a bearing hole each and extend into the space between the two deformation struts 13, 14, to which the bearing elements 11, 12, which pass slidably through the bearing holes, are fastened.
