  • Patent number: 11999303
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cladding part of a body shell of a vehicle. The cladding part having a base body, which has a visible side facing towards the outer side and an inner side and which comprises a light window in the form of a light-transmitting transparent or translucent region at least in a sub-region, and an opaque region with a colouring coating at least in a sub-region. The cladding part also having an illumination function, which is arranged behind the visible side of the base body for shining through or illuminating the light window.

  • Publication number: 20240101022
    Abstract: The invention relates to an illumination system (1) for an external cladding part of a motor vehicle, having at least a configuration region (2), which has a visible side facing towards the outer side and a rear side with a rear-side face (2b) as well as side faces (2a), wherein the configuration region (2) is formed as a light-guide body and is processed on the rear-side face (2b) in the region of a light window for representation of a characteristic feature appearing three-dimensionally on the visible side, having a housing element (4) with a coloured bottom face (4b) and side faces (4c), wherein an air gap remains between the rear-side face (2b) of the configuration region (2) and the bottom face (4b), and an installation space, in which a light source (6) is arranged, remains between the configuration region (2) and the side face (4c) of the housing element (2), the light being couplable into a side face of the configuration region (2) and being couplable out at the laser structure (11), and subsequently

  • Patent number: 11005357
    Abstract: A converter feeds phase currents into phase lines by applying alternately a high and a low potential via phase units. The phase currents are supplied via a filter device arranged downstream of the converter, with a portion of the filter currents supplied to filter capacitors connected to the phase lines, and feeds the remaining parts of the phase currents supplied to an electric load. The control device accepts the phase currents. A regulating device determines control signals for the phase units by direct-current control, such that a voltage profile downstream of the filter device has a predetermined amplitude when and as long as the supplied phase currents have minimum spacing from a predetermined maximum value. Otherwise, the control device intervenes in the control of the phase units by limiting the phase currents to the maximum value, until the voltage profile downstream of the filter device regains the predetermined amplitude.
