Abstract: A motor vehicle with a charging base which can be brought from a closed position into an open position. A holding device for holding the charging base in the open position includes a guide device. and by bringing the charging base into the open position, a bearing element of the charging base can be moved along the guide device into an end position in which the bearing element is arranged lower in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle than when the charging base is in the closed position. The bearing element can be moved from a starting position, which the bearing element assumes in the closed position of the charging base, into an intermediate position by rotating the bearing element about a pivot axis of the charging base, and the bearing element can be moved from the intermediate position into the end position.

Abstract: A method for the flexible rolling of a metallic strip in which, during the rolling procedure, the metallic strip is lead through a roll gap which is formed between two working rolls, and during the rolling operation, the roll gap is deliberately changed in order to obtain different strip thicknesses over the length of the metallic strip. A good planeness of the metallic strip can be obtained, and particularly, also for relatively wide strips, in that, during each setting of the roll gap or directly afterward, the deflection curve bending line of the working roll is controlled depending on the setting of the roll gap for the achievement of planeness of the metallic strip.
