Abstract: A charging apparatus (1) for a vehicle that can be driven electrically has a charging cradle (4) with an access opening (8) and an electrical charging socket (5) is arranged in the charging cradle (4). A closure cover (7) is mounted pivotably in the charging cradle (4) and, in a closed position, covers the access opening (8) in the charging cradle (4) and, in an open position, opens said access opening. A sealing ring (12) which extends around the charging socket (5), and the closure cover (7) has a ring attachment (13) that makes contact with the sealing ring (12) along a ring contour of the sealing ring when the closure cover (7) is closed. Thus, the charging socket is sealed off reliably to the outside.

Abstract: A strip-shaped substrate made from a film includes a plurality of units for producing chip carriers. Each unit has a chip island for fixing a semiconductor chip, electrodes for electrical connection of the semiconductor chip, and through-openings for structuring the unit. At least one through-opening forms an anchoring edge for a casting compound for encapsulating the semiconductor chip. A surface section of the film abutting the through-opening is chamfered to form the anchoring edge. The anchoring edge protrudes past the side of the film on which the chip island is arranged.

Abstract: A method for producing a laminate made up of at least two films/foils is provided. At least one first film/foil is structured and subsequently laminated to at least one second film/foil. The at least one second film/foil is punched by at least one tool in a single working step and is laminated to the structured first film/foil simultaneously. The films/foils are conveyed, at least part of the time, to the at least one tool. A laminate produced according to such a method and a device for producing a laminate using such a method are also provided. The device is suited for conveying and laminating the at least one first and second films/foils, wherein regions of the films/foils are aligned to be parallel with respect to each other. The device includes at least one tool that can be used to punch-laminate second film/foil onto the first film/foil.

An auxiliary frame is provided in a region of a front axle and at least one strut is provided, the strut running between the auxiliary frame of the front axle and one of the two lateral sills. This makes it possible in particular to increase the natural frequency of a vehicle front end by structurally simple and also cost-effective measures.

Abstract: A method is provided for producing a laminated substrate for mounting semiconductor chips. At least respective metal and plastic structure films having respective different recurrent contours are laminated together in such a way that a material strip is obtained. The lamination is followed by perforations or cuttings, and the method includes at least one of the following steps: A. the films are structured in such a way that superposition thereof makes it possible to obtain the areas which are devoid of overlap through the total width thereof; B. the films are not laminated through the total width of the laminate in partly recurrent areas; and C. recurrent segments of the recurrent contours are bent out of the surface of the laminated strip starting from the laminate.

Abstract: An inner gusset plate is connected, in each case in the region of the C pillar, to a roof frame cross-member, to a lateral roof frame member and to a rear sealing channel cheek of a motor vehicle or of a rear part of a motor vehicle. The inner gusset plate is arranged opposite a further, outer, connected gusset plate. The two gusset plates form a pillar profile and are connected to a wheel box of the body structure. The inner gusset plate is supported via adjoining inner brackets on a longitudinal member of the vehicle, which longitudinal member is adjoined by two cross-members in the vehicle floor, which cross-members are arranged in the region of the supporting base of the inner bracket on the longitudinal member.

Abstract: In a preassembly position, the hinge elements of the two hinges of the vehicle door are each connected fixedly to the vehicle door via a pivotable hinge element of the two hinges. The vehicle door is held in position with precise gap positioning in a side wall door cutout of the vehicle body. In a final assembly position, the positionally fixed hinge element of the two hinges is connected to outer and inner wall parts of a vehicle pillar of the vehicle body via fastening screws and via a torque strut.

Abstract: A spring strut mounting for holding an upper end of a spring strut of a motor vehicle contains a spring strut dome with an articulation point for articulatedly connecting the upper end of the spring strut. The spring strut mounting further has a lower dome carrier which can be connected to a longitudinal member of the motor vehicle, and an upper dome carrier which can be connected to an A pillar of the motor vehicle, with the upper dome carrier engaging over the articulation point.

To provide favorable conditions for satisfactory bonding between the overlay strips and the main strip, and also to make it possible to use difficult to handle materials, the elastomeric mixture of the main strip is altered by including therein silicic acid.

Abstract: A flat workpiece such as a sheet metal workpiece is deformed by impacting e surface of the workpiece with one or several impacting tools while supporting at least a portion of the workpiece surface opposite the impacted surface. In order to control the deforming impact effect for achieving the intended shape of the workpiece, the impact strength of uniform drive impulses is modified in accordance with the desired shape. For this purpose the impacts are damped in accordance with a predetermined surface pattern of impact strengths corresponding to the desired shape. Such damping is accomplished by coating the workpiece surface prior to the impacting with a damping layer or layers having a different damping effect in different places on the surface of the workpiece in accordance with the mentioned pattern, whereby the uniform impact strength is modified in its effect in accordance with the pattern over the surface of the workpiece.
