Patent number: 11142138Abstract: A trim panel assembly includes a printed foil extending for a first area, a printed circuit board disposed overtop the foil, the printed circuit board extending for a second area smaller than the first area, and a light guide disposed overtop the printed circuit board and having a perimeter. The perimeter is inset from the printed foil, and surrounds the printed circuit board, forming a sealed interface with the printed foil. At least a portion of the perimeter of the light guide is beveled. A reflector is disposed overtop the light guide. In an electronic assembly the reflector, the light guide, the printed circuit board, and the printed foil are disposed at least partially in a cavity of a molded support panel. The molded support panel is substantially planar, and a semi-transparent material is overmolded directly onto and overtop the electronic assembly and the molded support panel.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: DUS Operating Inc.Inventor: Jochen Schulze zur Wiesche

Patent number: 8360493Abstract: The invention relates to a pillar finisher which is arranged to visually conceal regions of a vehicle body and with its outer exposed surfaces to be involved in forming the external appearance of a vehicle, wherein the pillar finisher in the intended final installed state forms a mount for a functional seal, in particular a window drop seal. To prevent a malposition of the functional seal relative to the pillar finisher from having negative effects with regard to the function of the seal or the quality impression of the mounted assembly, provision is made that a covering lip, functionally separate from the position of the functional seal, is fixedly associated with the pillar finisher on the edge side.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2010Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: DURA Automotive Body & Glass Systems GmbHInventors: Ralf Gerndorf, Jochen Schulze Zur Wiesche, Norfried Bittner, Axel Nusken, Martin Schulte

Publication number: 20110148150Abstract: The invention relates to a pillar finisher, which is connected by fastening means with the side post of a vehicle body. For fastening, dowel-like fixing aids are provided which penetrate the body sheet of the vehicle body in the intended final installed state and engage behind the vehicle body or lie in clamping against the body sheet. In order to make possible a simple mounting of the pillar finisher on the vehicle and in order to reduce the number of parts, provision is made that the fixing aids are produced as an integral component of the pillar finisher.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2010Publication date: June 23, 2011Inventors: Ralf Gerndorf, Jochen Schulze Zur Wiesche, Norfried Bittner, Axel Nusken, Martin Schulte
