Abstract: A vehicle with a compartment, a ventilation channel on the ceiling or in a side wall of the compartment running in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the vehicle and a lighting facility with lighting elements is such that the ventilation channel features a reflector box with a channel base, featuring openings that are at least in part transparent to light or light-admitting openings, fitted facing the interior of the passenger compartment, and the lighting elements of the lighting facility are situated inside the ventilation channel. As a result of lighting facility being integrated in the ventilation channel, the amount of space required is less and the ventilation channel with integral lighting can be in the form of a pre-assembled unit.

Abstract: The invention concerns profile sections for reinforcing or finishing the edges of plate-like composite elements, said sections comprising a core layer (31) and two cover layers (11, 21). The invention further concerns composite elements produced thereby and a method of producing these composite elements. The profile sections consist of at least two parallel legs (1, 2) and a connection web (4) and comprise an abutment surface (3) for the core layer (31). Disposed between the edges (5, 6) of the abutment surface (3) and the connection web (4) are open channels (7, 8) through which the air located between the cover layers (11, 21) and the core layer (31) and/or the profile section legs when the composite element is bonded can escape such that a bubble-free bonded connection is attained over the entire surface.
