Abstract: A center console for a vehicle has an armrest in a rearward region which is pivotable at a rearward end about a pivot axis, extending between a horizontal armrest position and a vertical opening position, an upwardly open storage chamber arranged to be partially forwardly offset in relation to the armrest situated in the horizontal armrest position, a storage insert configured to be at least partially inserted, from above, into the storage chamber, and a securing unit for securing the storage insert within the storage chamber in a vertical direction of the center console. The securing unit has a securing receptacle and a securing projection that engages into the securing receptacle. A forward end portion of the armrest situated in the horizontal armrest position lies on a rearward end portion of the storage insert that has been inserted into the storage chamber.

Abstract: A center console for a vehicle, has at least one storage chamber, laterally delimited on both sides by two side walls, and at least one dividing element, arranged in the storage chamber and which serves for subdividing the storage chamber. In order to provide a center console having a storage chamber which can be adapted to articles that are to be stored, the center console has at least two upwardly open holding slots which are arranged in the storage chamber and are mutually spaced in a transverse direction of the center console and which are arranged mutually oppositely on the side walls such that the dividing element can, at edges, be at least partially inserted into the holding slots from above.

Abstract: The invention relates a method for gas-shielded metal-arc welding during the re-strike during the welding process. It is object of the invention to provide a gas-shielded metal-arc welding method to permit as low an energy intake as possible in the short-circuit phase for the arc welding. According to the invention, this object is solved by a method, characterized in that at the beginning of a short-circuit, a control is activated and remains active for the duration of the short-circuit, which increases an energy intake (phase A) when a characteristic threshold value S1 is fallen short of, and terminates the energy intake when a threshold value S2 is reached, and than lowers the energy intake (phase B).
