Abstract: The invention relates to a protective cover comprising a plurality of protective cover segments (1), which can be moved telescopically against one another and which have a covering leg (2) and a supporting leg (3), and comprising a connecting element or bellows (4). When the protective cover is telescopically extended, an elastic restoring element produces a torque (M) and transfers said torque to the supporting leg (3). The invention is characterized in that the elastic restoring element is an integral component of the connecting element (4) in that the connecting element (4) has flexural rigidity and is connected to the supporting leg (3) in a planar manner along a height portion (h) of the supporting leg (3). Owing to the invention, an additional elastic restoring element and the attachment thereof to the supporting leg are no longer necessary.

Abstract: An airbag module for a motor vehicle is provided. The airbag module comprises a gas bag which for the protection of a person can be inflated by means of a gas generator, a module housing for accommodating the gas bag, which includes a tab which protrudes from a main chamber of the module housing accommodating the gas bag, a gas bag holder for fixing the gas bag at the module housing, an inflatable element for regulating the gas pressure in the gas bag, a triggering unit for filling the inflatable element with gas, which is arranged within the module housing in the tab of the module housing, and a fixing element by means of which the triggering unit is fixed at the module housing. The fixing element with a base body, with which it at least partly encloses the triggering unit, engages into the tab of the module housing.

Abstract: A multi-channel pressure sensor module (10) for integration in a hydraulic/electrical control unit of a vehicular braking system is shown. A body or manifold (16) mounts a plurality of strain gauge sense element assemblies (12) each having a port for connection to a fluid pressure source to be monitored. An electronic module assembly (14) has a contact printed circuit board (24) and a sense element printed circuit board (22) sandwiching a spacer/support member (20) and electrically coupled together by a flexible circuit board (26). The spacer/support member (20) is formed with pockets (20e, 20f) for receipt of discrete electronic components and to provide access to wire bond pads (22c) and sense element openings (22b). First and second sets of guide posts (20c, 20d) extend from the spacer/support member for alignment of the circuit boards as well as the electronic module assembly on the base.
