Patent number: 12133057Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to an equipment part for a vehicle, including a base, at least one first foam layer and a covering, wherein the equipment part is provided with at least one audio cushion device which has at least one loudspeaker device having at least one loudspeaker, wherein each loudspeaker has a sound outlet. The first foam layer has an opening which extends along a center axis of the sound outlet such that the sound can continue through the opening in the direction toward the covering. A sound-permeable carrier layer covers the opening and in the direction of the sound propagation behind the carrier layer a second foam layer is arranged which engages over the opening.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: GRAMMER AGInventors: Manuel Bösl, Hubert Keller

Patent number: 12103464Abstract: An equipment part with a base and at least one pivot device, which is pivotable about a pivot axis relative to the base, with a drive device with which the pivot device is pivotable between a first position and a second position. The pivot device includes a base part and an extension part, wherein the extension part is guided movably relative to the base part in a translatory manner between a primary position and a secondary position. Associated with the base is a first support surface that engages with a second support surface, which is associated with the extension part, and rolls on this during the pivoting movement between the first position and the second position, wherein the extension part moves between the primary and the secondary position.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2022Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: GRAMMER AGInventor: Manuel Bösl
