Publication number: 20230322223Abstract: Method and equipment for estimating a braking factor for a braking system for a vehicle. The method includes estimating a braking factor (kbrk) for a braking system for a vehicle, in which the braking factor (kbrk) is by applying the following equation: kbrk = a + b * Vveh + c * pbrk + d * Tbrk + f * pbrk2, in which a, b, c, d and f are model parameters, Vveh is a velocity of the vehicle, pbrk is a braking pressure, and Tbrk is a brake temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Oliver Sawodny, Simon Goeltz, Falk Hecker, Ulrich Guecker, Roman Sauer, Adnan Mustapha

Patent number: 10710435Abstract: A shading device for a pane or a glass roof region of a vehicle interior with a flexible shading structure mounted for, movement between a rest position in which it is stowed in a receiving region in a compact manner, and a shading position, in which it spans the pane or the glass roof region, and which is provided with a dimensionally stable pull-out profile. The pull-out profile extends substantially over an entire width of the shading structure and is positioned in a passage slot of the receiving region in the rest position of the shading structure. Resilient damping elements are arranged on opposite longitudinal walls of the passage slot, which damping elements flank the pull-out profile in the rest position of the shading structure and support the pull-out profile at a distance from the longitudinal walls.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2016Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: BOS GMBH & CO. KGInventor: Roman Sauer

Patent number: 10486504Abstract: A shading system for a split side window of a vehicle, including a main shading structure held on a main winding shaft for movement between a stowed position and a shading position, and an auxiliary shading structure held on an auxiliary winding shaft for movement between a stowed position and a shading position. The main shading structure has a main pull-out profile on an end region and the auxiliary shading structure has an auxiliary pull-out element on an end region, which are lengthwise displaceable in vehicle-fixed guiding tracks for displacement between the stowed and shading positions. The main pull-out profile and the auxiliary pull-out element are guided on one side in adjacent guiding tracks extending in parallel to each other, and the main pull-out profile is associated with a drag device entraining the auxiliary pull-out element during a longitudinal displacement from the stowed position to the shading position.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: BOS GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Matthias Maier, Roman Sauer

Patent number: 10415291Abstract: A shading device including a shading structure displaceable in vehicle-fixed lateral guiding rails between a lowered rest position and a deployed shading position using a drive arrangement. The shading structure in the rest position is lowered down in a vehicle-fixed chamber through a passage, wherein the passage is closable by a cover movable between an open position and a closed position, and a control arrangement for opening and closing the cover is provided and coupled to a displacement movement of the shading structure. The control arrangement includes a control plunger engaging on the cover, which plunger is articulated to the cover in opposed pull and push directions. The control plunger is in operative connection with the cover via a tensioning arrangement which is spring-elastically tensioned in one movement direction and inactively relaxed in an opposite movement direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2015Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: BOS GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Roman Sauer, Sandor Koller

Publication number: 20180178634Abstract: A shading structure for a motor vehicle windshield including a profiled pull-out section attached to the shading structure at an end face and which is moved between a lowered rest position and an extended functional position in lateral guiding rails fixed to the vehicle by a drive transmission means. In the rest position, the shading structure is lowered into a shaft fixed to the vehicle through a passage. The passage is closed by a lid which is pivoted between open and a closed positions, and a control mechanism is provided for opening and closing the lid. The control mechanism is coupled to a displacement movement of the pull-out section. The control mechanism has a traction mechanism that controls the lid between the open position and an intermediate position located between the open position and the closed position of the lid, on the basis of the pull-out section passing through the passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2016Publication date: June 28, 2018Inventor: Roman SAUER

Patent number: 8864211Abstract: A wind deflector system for a motor vehicle having an end segment for limiting extension of the wind deflector system at the top in the vertical direction, a flexible planar structure fastened to ends of the end segment, and a winding shaft for holding the wound-on planar structure. At least one swivel arm is provided, by means of which the wind deflector system can be transferred from a stowed position to a functioning position with a raised end segment, and a retainer is provided on the planar structure which is arranged, at least when in the functioning position, such that, together with the swivel arm, it restricts mobility of the planar structure relative to the swivel arm in the transverse direction of the vehicle. The system is effective for avoiding the formation of creases in the wound-up planar structure of the wind deflector system.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2013Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: BOS GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8276643Abstract: A protection or shading system for a motor vehicle, in particular a wind deflector system for a convertible, with a base, a sheet-like structure entendable between an inoperative position and a functional position in an extension direction away from the base, a rigid end element fastened to the sheet-like structure, and an extension device fastened on one side to the base and on the other side to the end element. The extension device is designed so as to transfer the system from an inoperative state in which the sheet-like structure, the end element and the extension device are each in an inoperative position, into a functional state, in which the sheet-like structure, the end element and the extension device are each in a functional position.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2010Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: BOS GmbH & Co.
