  • Patent number: 7380865
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle door (1) and to a method for the production thereof. The vehicle door comprises a supporting frame (11) with an opening (2). The supporting frame is joined to a body structure of the vehicle in a manner that permits it to move. The opening (2) is closed in an essentially moisture-proof manner by molding it with a curable compound while forming a supporting plate (10) for accommodating elements such as window lifters, loudspeakers (3) or the like. At least one guide rail for guiding a window pane (9), which can be displaced relative to the supporting frame, is provided for accommodating a lateral edge of the window pane in the supporting plate.

  • Patent number: 6601902
    Abstract: A motor vehicle cockpit is prefabricated and contains a flat shaped piece serving as a mounting plate for a visible shell, a heating or air-conditioning system and operational elements. An impact protection is formed by a box-section of the motor vehicle body that extends under the front edge of the windscreen and a cross-member. The impact protection is completed by the flat shaped piece that couples to the box-section and the cross-member, preferably coupled with a linear introduction of force. In the event of a vehicle frontal impact, the flat shaped piece and coupled box-section and cross-member absorb the energy of impact.

  • Patent number: 6106003
    Abstract: The invention relates to an interior trim panel for motor vehicles fitted with an airbag. Said panel consists of a dimensionally stable supporting member (3) with a film cover (1) on its visible face, and is provided with a tear-open airbag penetration area for expansion of airbag at the point where the airbag is installed (9'). The airbag penetration area is defined by notches (5) in the supporting member (3). The support member has a guide channel (3'), which is integrally formed at the rear, for the expanding airbag. The opening (12) of this channel is covered by the supporting member and the film cover on the visible face which is devoid of any markings. The notches of the guide-channel opening define a pocket-like opening penetration area during airbag expansion. Said notches form a pattern of lines consisting of a center line and side lines which branch off parallel to or diagonally from the center line.
