  • Publication number: 20220258513
    Abstract: An inkjet printed flexible film for decor applications is provided. In particular the present invention relates to an inkjet printed flexible film comprising a polymer film and an ink-receptive layer comprising polymerizable and/or crosslinkable compounds or a polymer crosslinked via (meth)acrylate moieties. Ink pigments can be applied to the ink-receptive layer in a print pattern by ink jet printing. The ink-receptive layer can be printed by means of industrial digital inkjet printing. The decor applications include any decorated surfaces for flooring, wall covering, furniture, ceilings and the like.

  • Patent number: 10407951
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle lock, comprising a lock housing, a lock case, a locking mechanism and an operating device, wherein at least one component of the operating device extends through an opening in the lock housing and said opening is designed with at least one reinforcing insert. The main area of the plate or the metal sheet from which the lock case is made is basically relatively large. In light of this, it has proved advantageous to form the reinforcing insert from the lock case. Waste is thus avoided.

  • Patent number: 9617760
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle or a building, said lock being equipped with a rotary latch (2) rotatably supported in the lock housing (10) about a locking bolt (3), wherein the lock housing (10) has a slotted guide (8) for the locking bolt (3), said slotted guide having at least one spring lip (15) on the insertion side, which spring lip reaches into the slotted guide and cushions the locking bolt (3), said spring lip having creaking protection (17) that partially covers the surface (16) of the spring lip, wherein the spring lip (15) has a bounding bead (20) at the free end (18) and wherein the creaking protection (17) is designed as a sheet metal clamp (21) that can be attached to the spring lip (15) in front of the bounding bead with a preload.

  • Patent number: 9236665
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conductor track unit, in particular for a motor vehicle. The conductor track unit is provided with conductor tracks which are embedded in an electrically insulating material. The conductor tracks are, in particular completely, surrounded by the electrically insulating material and are therefore not accessible from the outside. Electrical connections are electrically connected to the conductor tracks. The electrical connections are accessible from the outside, and therefore can be electrically connected to electrical contacts of electrical or electronic components such as a switch, detector, electronic radio component, integrated circuit, electronic chip, electronic control device or motor, for example by soldering. The conductor tracks and electrical connections are different components which are therefore initially independent of one another and can be produced independently dependently of one another.
