  • Patent number: 6763778
    Abstract: A motor vehicle designed to carry a foldable warning triangle that can be removed from the vehicle. The vehicle has an opening defined by a boundary edge and covered by a hatch such as a trunk or hood. The hatch is arranged so that it can be moved between a closed position and an open position. The fold-up warning triangle is secured in an edge portion of the hatch that bears against the boundary edge of the opening when the hatch is in the closed position. A warning surface of the warning triangle is visible to other traffic when the hatch is opened. In a preferred embodiment, the fold-up warning triangle is releasably placed in a recess in the edge portion of the hatch. The recess has a wall interrupted by at least one hole through which the warning surface is visible to other traffic when the hatch is open.

  • Patent number: 6457765
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle seating arrangement having a number of seats. The seats are arranged so that they can be moved between different mutual positions along at least two parallel rails that extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in the vehicle floor. Each of the seats have a backrest part and a seat part, and are slidably attached to the rails by means of coupling members. The seats can be locked by way of the coupling members in a number of positions along the rails. The seat part of the seats is pivotably mounted in relation to the backrest part in such a way that it can assume a first, folded-down position and a second position wherein it is folded up against the backrest part. At least one rail extends essentially in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
