  • Patent number: 10427505
    Abstract: A roof module for a motor vehicle comprises an RTM frame and a Class-A covering layer, which at least partially covers the frame and is made of polyurethane. A method for manufacturing a roof module comprises the following steps: Initially, a fiber mat is put into a first mold. Then, a reactive resin system is introduced into the closed mold and the resin cures, so that a blank is formed. The blank is put into a second mold, into which subsequently polyurethane is introduced in the open condition. The polyurethane expands, wherein it at least partially forms a Class-A surface.

  • Patent number: 7784859
    Abstract: A sunroof system for a motor vehicle includes two guide rails at least approximately parallel to one another and a slide in each guide rail. The slide is displaceable in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A front opening mechanism and a rear opening mechanism are assigned to a front edge and a rear edge, respectively, of a cover of the sunroof system. The front opening mechanism has a transmission lever and the rear opening mechanism has an opening lever. The slide, when displaced rearwards along the guide rail, is first coupled to the rear opening mechanism and then to the front opening mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7255392
    Abstract: A guiding system for a moveable sunroof system includes at least one first guide rail for a first vehicular component and at least one second guide rail for a second vehicular component. The first and second guide rails are connected with each other and are tailored to their unique load requirements by employing materials having different properties. Further, the guide rails can be modified independently from one another. If, for instance, the geometry of the second guide rail has requires modification, it is not necessary to modify the entire guiding system. Instead, it is sufficient to modify only the second guide rail to the new requirements. Therefore, portions of the guide rail system may easily be replaced.

  • Patent number: 6835817
    Abstract: A monoclonal antibody has been developed which only specifically binds activated factor VII, and not factor VII, and which does not bind to an activated factor VII which is complexed with antithrombin III. This monoclonal antibody is isolated from the hybridoma cell line DSM ACC 2332. It can be used for qualitatively and quantitatively detecting factor VIIa in body fluids, blood coagulation preparations or the intermediate stages in the production of these preparations, on cell surfaces or in tissues, and can also be used as a humanized monoclonal antibody in therapeutic preparations.

  • Patent number: 6619731
    Abstract: A vehicle roof designed in particular for motor vehicles, in particular a roof module to be manufactured separately from the bodywork and connected with the bodywork frame, which roof module consists substantially of a rigid roof skin, optionally an inner shell of foamed plastic material foamed thereon and a decorative roof liner of foamed plastic material. The roof module may be provided with an integral sunroof unit. The particular feature thereof is that the roof liner may be produced separately from the roof module and may be brought into releasable engagement with the inner shell or optionally with the sunroof frame of the sunroof unit by means of complementary, precisely fitting guide elements, i.e. may be replaced.
