Abstract: A central console for a motor vehicle interior has a lower stowage compartment which can be closed by a lid module and is bounded laterally by side walls. The lid module can be pivoted about a pivot axis which is arranged at its rear end and runs in the transverse direction of the vehicle. An upper stowage compartment is arranged on the lower side of the lid module for accommodating a telephone device or other items and is covered by a first lid forming part of an armrest. A further upper stowage space is covered by a second lid which is designed as a further part of the armrest and can be pivoted about a pivot axis. The further upper stowage space is designed as part of the upper stowage compartment and together with the second lid is assigned to the lid module in such a manner that they can be pivoted together with the lid module.

Abstract: A holder for a beverage container in a motor vehicle, has a beverage container receiver for insertion of a beverage container, a guide device for guiding the beverage container receiver a pivot point for pivoting back and forth between a non-use position and a use position, whereby a beverage container is insertable into the beverage container receiver in the use position, a movable support provided for moving the beverage container receiver and forming a blocking mechanism for the guide device of the beverage container receiver, which blocks lowering of the beverage container receiver in the use position.

Abstract: A windshield wiper is provided for a window with a constant radius of curvature. The wiper axis is aligned along a radius with respect to the center of curvature of the window. The wiper arm and the rotatable wiper-bearing part are connected together as a rigid constructional unit. The wiper bearing and/or the wiper arm adjacent the wiper bearing are provided with elastic portions or elements to accommodate movement of the wiper arm in a direction parallel to the wiper axis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for heating the interior of an electric vehicle having an air-cooled high-temperature battery. Waste heat form the battery is supplied to the interior via a liquid circuit having a heat exchanger which can be controllably bombarded by the waste air from the battery and by fresh air. The liquid circuit is also connected to and cools heat-generating components of the electric drive system.

Abstract: A system is provided for the diffuse ventilation of a vehicle interior in a dashboard area which, for avoiding manufacturing problems and for the purpose of an advantageous mounting, has an insert which is composed of a top and bottom part and which is inserted into the dashboard flush with its top side. In the bottom part, a plurality of separate channels are formed which extend in parallel to one another, are open toward the top, extend in the longitudinal direction of the insert and are covered directly by the top part.
