  • Motor vehicle component with lighting function
    Patent number: 11813980
    Abstract: A motor vehicle component with a lighting function includes a laminate component having a first fiber-reinforced composite material and a second fiber-reinforced composite material, the first fiber-reinforced composite material being electrically insulating and the second fiber-reinforced composite material being electrically conductive. The motor vehicle component also includes a light source which is at least partially embedded in the first fiber-reinforced composite material. The light source is electrically conductively connected to the second fiber-reinforced composite material, and the second fiber-reinforced composite material has a light exit region from which light emitted by the light source can exit so that it can be seen from outside the motor vehicle component.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 14, 2023
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Nicolas Behrens, Sandro Cifaldi, Tobias Mueller-Kambeitz

  • Method for mounting a fiber composite component in the flow of force of a clamp connection
    Patent number: 10471664
    Abstract: A method is provided for mounting a fiber composite component in the force flow of a clamping connection. The fiber composite material is heated and locally compressed in a mounting region such that the fiber composite material sets by a predefined measure. The fiber composite component is then clamped in the mounting region.
