Abstract: A cover assembly has a base, first and second cover parts movable relative to the base about respective pivot axes between closed and open positions and respective first and second torsion springs mounted on respective pivot pins, biasing the cover parts into the respective open positions, and each having one leg supported on the base and another leg braced against the respective cover part. An adjuster can set the biasing of at least one of the springs and has a support for the one leg of the one spring that is on the base or the cover part, that is pivotal on the respective pivot pin, and that is formed with a slot through which the respective pivot pin engages. A locking formation on the support and a counterlocking formation are detachably engageable with the locking formation in different relative positions such that different spring tensions can be set.

Abstract: A method for producing a connection, including the steps of: providing a connecting part and a retaining part; making a cut-out in the retaining part, wherein a plane is created by the cut-out; turning a deformation region of the retaining part surrounding the cut-out out of the plane such that the cut-out is enlarged and a seat is produced; arranging the connecting part in the cut-out; and forming the deformation region back in the direction of the plane such that the cut-out is reduced in size and the retaining part is connected at least force-fittingly to the connecting part.

Abstract: The holder for a center console, including a first fastening region for fastening to the vehicle body as well as a second fastening region for fastening to the center console, wherein the first fastening region and the second fastening region are connected by at least one arm extending in the Z-direction. The arm has a primary region with a first center axis and at least one secondary region with a second center axis which form relative to one another at least one bend point, which permits deformation of the primary region relative to the secondary region and thus a movement of the first fastening region relative to the second fastening region in the Z-direction.

Abstract: The invention relates among other things to a cover assembly (10) with a first cover part (13) and a second cover part (14), where each cover part (13, 14) is movable relative to a base about a separate pivot axis between a closed position and an open position and is biased by a spring (16a, 16b) into the open position, where one leg (18) of the spring (16a, 16b) is supported on the base and one leg (17) loads the cover part (13, 14), and can be held in the closed position by a latch that is adjustable between a latching position and a release position, where the spring tension is adjustable by an adjuster (20).

Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting (10) for a vehicle interior comprising a base (11) and comprising a pivotable part (12) that is pivotable relative to the base about a pivot axis (a) between a first position and a second position, comprising a brake (20) with a first sliding structure (23) on the base (11) having at least one first slide surface (21) and a second sliding structure (25) on the arm support (12) having at least one second slide surface (22), wherein the second slide surface (22) is motion-connected to the arm support (12). The particular feature is that the first slide surface (21) and/or the second slide surface (22) is formed at least partially as a ramp (24).

Abstract: An armrest has a base, a support arm pivotal on the base between a first end position and a second end position, and a latch including a first latch formation on the support arm and a second latch formation on the base for securing the support arm relative to the base in at least one of the end positions. A spring biases the support arm into the first end position and carries one of the first and second latch formations.

Abstract: A spark gap for use in the power supply of medium voltage and low voltage networks, wherein two rotationally symmetric electrodes are arranged in a housing and an arc space is provided between the two electrodes for the arc which is formed in the event of a spark-over and its follow-on current. The two electrodes are arranged in the direction of the longitudinal center axis of the spark gap one behind the other and at a distance from each other. A disk of an electrically insulating material is positioned perpendicularly of the longitudinal center axis so as to electrically separate the two electrodes from each other. The insulating disk has an opening adapted to the hollow cylindrical inner space forming the spark-over place for the arc. The arc space includes a rotationally symmetric arc chamber arranged concentrically with the longitudinal center axis for the follow-on current. The arc chamber is positioned between the two electrodes.
