Patent number: 8807952Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor blade for a wind turbine, comprising a root of the rotor blade and a rotor blade airfoil. The object of providing a rotor blade which can be easily and inexpensively produced even when of great lengths and which, what is more, enables a system for protection against lightning to be incorporated in a simplified way is achieved, for a rotor blade of the generic kind, by having the rotor blade consist of at least partly a fiber-reinforced plastics composite having metal inserts embedded in the matrix of the fiber-reinforced plastics composite.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2012Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AGInventors: Stephan Drewes, Thomas Flöoth, Mark Hirt, Lothar Patberg, Peter Seyfried

Patent number: 8535813Abstract: A use of a coilable multi-layer metallic composite material produced by means of roll-cladding in a vehicle structure, in particular a body structure, provides an alternative to monolithic materials. The composite material used in a vehicle structure is a lightweight composite material and comprises three layers of a steel alloy, wherein at least one of the layers is formed from a high-strength or very high-strength steel alloy.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2009Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AGInventors: Jens-Ulrik Becker, Lothar Patberg, Peter Seyfried, Horst Walter Tamler, Roland Wunderlich

Patent number: 8459697Abstract: An arrangement for securing a steering column to a cross member, in particular to a cockpit carrying member, of a motor vehicle, includes a steering column with retaining means. This arrangement makes it possible on the one hand with simple means to secure the steering column to the cross member of the motor vehicle and, on the other hand, with a further reduction in costs and weight, to enable a high degree of flexibility in relation to the use of the cross member and the steering column for different motor vehicles, by including a cross member that has, for securing the steering column, at least one hole running transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cross member for at least one securing means, and retaining means of the steering column wherein the retaining means are secured by at least one securing means to the cross member.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2007Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignees: ThyssenKrupp Presta AG, Johnson Controls GmbH, Industriestr.Inventors: Markus Zörnack, Mark Hirt, Peter Seyfried, Christian Dornscheidt, Matthias Hein, Martin Hinz, Paul Angenheister, Thomas Beer, Alfred Mai, Klaus Kierspel, Norberto Silva, Jochen Zimmermann, Viktor Arbanas, Michael Maag, Carsten Manneck, Max Oertle

Patent number: 8322781Abstract: A hybrid cross bar is provided, such as for supporting a vehicle dash board. The cross bar is supported, directly or indirectly, on at least one body location of the vehicle by a deformation element. The deformation element has a first sub-region enclosed by a plastic encapsulation. A second sub-region of the deformation element has a deformation region outside of the plastic encapsulation.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Paul Angenheister, Thomas Beer, Alfred Mai, Klaus Kierspel, Norberto Silva, Jochen Zimmermann, Viktor Arbanas, Michael Maag, Carsten Manneck, Max Oertle, Christian Dornscheidt, Matthias Hein, Martin Hinz, Mark Hirt, Peter Seyfried, Markus Zörnack

Patent number: 8221898Abstract: A multilayered composite part includes a plurality of steel alloy layers connected to one another, with at least one core layer consisting of a soft, well deformable steel alloy and at least one steel alloy layer of a very high strength steel alloy, arranged on the core layer. A multilayered composite part which is characterized simultaneously by a high strength paired with very good outer skin quality and very good paint adherence, is achieved in that at least one outer steel alloy layer of a soft, well deformable steel alloy is provided on the very high strength steel alloy layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2008Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AGInventors: Jens-Ulrik Becker, Peter Seyfried, Michael Steinhorst, Horst Walter Tamler, Roland Wunderlich

Publication number: 20100171339Abstract: A support element for a cockpit structure of a motor vehicle with a body, as well as a cockpit structure of a motor vehicle, which is provided in the area between the A-columns of the body of a motor vehicle, includes at least one cockpit carrier and a support element. This cockpit structure which on the one hand is optimized in respect of the material consumption, and at the same time makes shorter manufacturing times possible, as well as, on the other hand, fulfills the safety requirements in the event of an offset and/or lateral impact, has a modular design and, by the use of different cockpit structure parts, in particular different cockpit carriers and/or support elements, can be adapted to the individual body concerned.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2007Publication date: July 8, 2010Applicant: JOHNSON CONTROLS GMBHInventors: Markus Zörnack, Mark Hirt, Peter Seyfried, Christian Dornscheidt, Matthias Hein, Martin Hinz, Paul Angenheister, Thomas Beer, Alfred Mai, Klaus Kierspel, Norberto Silva, Jochen Zimmermann, Viktor Arbanas, Michael Maag, Carsten Manneck, Max Oertle

Publication number: 20090252908Abstract: A vehicle component is provided for a motor vehicle, such as an interior fitting part, and particularly for a component of a vehicle cockpit. The component has a hybrid structure that includes a metal part and a polymeric component. The metal part is surrounded by the polymeric component in a first region. The metal part has a second region which is free from the polymeric component. The second region is connected to a metal reinforcement. The polymeric component may comprise glass fibers. The first region of the metal part may be frame-shaped, and the second region may be arranged in a central region of the metal part. The metal reinforcement may be permanently secured to the metal part, such as by welding, or by an interference or form fit. The metal part may be surrounded by the polymeric component by injection molding and/or shaping.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2009Publication date: October 8, 2009Applicant: Johnson Control Technology CompanyInventors: Paul Angenheister, Thomas Beer, Alfred Mai, Klaus Kierspel, Norberto Silva, Jochen Zimmermann, Vikto Arbanas, Michael Maag, Carsten Mannek, Max Oertle, Christian Dornscheidt, Matthias Hein, Martin Hinz, Mark Hirt, Peter Seyfried, Markus Zornack
