Abstract: A drive unit for a motor vehicle having an electric machine including a rotor mounted so as to be rotatable around an axis A and coupleable, with a driveshaft acting on the vehicle wheels, and a stator having an electric winding whose terminations are connected to a power source by a connection device arranged at a housing opening of the drive unit and guided through this opening. A housing element encloses the rotor and the stator on the radially outer side. To arrange the connection device such that the installation space is optimized, the winding terminations are connected to first contact elements arranged fixed in position at the stator constructed as axial connectors with respect to the electric machine, and constitute stator contacts. These first contact elements are connected to second contact elements constructed to correspond to the first contact elements arranged at a wall area of the drive unit, and constitute wall contacts.

Abstract: A winding body for holding a winding of an electrical conductor to produce a coil for an electrical machine includes a winding area formed by a winding support and two sidepieces connected to the winding support. The sidepieces form the boundaries of the winding area and are connected to the winding support.

Abstract: A stator for an electrical machine includes a ring-shaped stator yoke with a number of stator coils arranged thereon. The conductor ends of the coils are designed to be connected to a wiring arrangement, where the wiring arrangement has linking conductors, which are arranged concentrically to each other, are insulated electrically against each other, and have terminal elements to form electrical contact areas by which they are connected to the ends of the stator coils. The ends of the coils be connected to the linking conductors by separate terminal elements which have a first contact area for establishing a connection with the linking conductor and a second contact area for establishing a connection with at least one coil end.

Abstract: The stator for an electric machine includes a ring-shaped stator yoke, on which stator coils, formed on winding bodies and distributed uniformly around the circumference, are mounted. The coils are wired electrically together by a wiring arrangement, which has a ring-shaped carrier element designed to be attached to the stator to hold connecting conductors. The carrier element is mounted radially with respect to the winding elements. To ensure a simple and reliable mounting of the carrier element on the stator, it is proposed that the carrier element be held in place on the winding bodies by means of a latching connection so that it cannot move in the axial direction.

Abstract: A method for processing a textile sheet material includes sealing a sheet material in a sealing region. The sealing region comprising at least one partial region of the surface of the sheet material. The method also includes introducing a seam into the sheet material and cutting the sheet material along a cutting line. The textile sheet material may be used to produce covers for airbags used in vehicle seats.

Abstract: A combination drive unit including an internal combustion engine and an electric machine, where the internal combustion engine includes a housing with a crankshaft supported therein; where the electric machine includes a rotor with a rotor shaft, the rotor being supported rotatably on a stationary component, and a stator, which is mounted radially with respect to the rotor. The crankshaft is in working connection with the rotor shaft at least indirectly and at least temporarily by way of a coupling. For the event that the crankshaft and the rotor shaft are offset from each other, the unit has separate first and second compensating devices, so that the wobbling forces which occur during operation of the unit can be absorbed.

Abstract: A method for operating a jukebox having a disc changer (2) for discs (3) containing a plurality of music titles, particularly CDs, at least one disc magazine (6), at least one playback unit (7), a computer-controlled disc-transport device (8), and a display device (9) for displaying the music titles of the discs (3), with an associated address (12) that encompasses a respective disc address (10) and a title address (21), wherein the music titles of a disc (3) are displayed together and selected through keystrokes. To improve the selection of music titles, individual music titles of different discs (3) are combined into a group (18), assigned a new target address (19) that encompasses a group address (20) and a title address (21), and displayed together as a group (18) in the display device (9). Depending on the programming, the groups (18) can expand or limit the title selection.
