Abstract: A vehicle contains a vehicle body with two A pillars and two B pillars which bound a vehicle interior, and an instrument panel which is arranged in the interior between the A pillars. The instrument panel has an instrument panel reinforcement. The instrument panel reinforcement has at least one first section and/or one second section, and the first and/or second section extends/extend in each case transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle at least over part of the instrument panel, beginning in each case on the outside of the instrument panel, in order to stiffen the instrument panel against a high force acting on the outsides of the instrument panel, for example against a force which is produced by a side impact. The contour of the instrument panel, including the instrument panel reinforcement, lies at least partially at a height between the A pillars and the B pillars at least in the region of the respective outside of the instrument panel.

Abstract: A device for protection against an impact includes at least one energy absorption body, which is arranged behind an interior car body component, so that a force (F) in effect during an impact is transferred from an exterior car body component through an opening of the interior car body component to the energy absorption body.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle includes a support arrangement for supporting the steering column, an air-conditioning unit, a head-up display (HUD) and/or pedals. The automotive vehicle has a window arch which extends below the windscreen in the region between the two A-columns of the automotive vehicle. In order to facilitate assembly, the window arch has, on the engine compartment-side, recesses in order to be able to fix the support arrangement or a corresponding instrument panel module from the engine compartment.

Abstract: A dashboard with a glove compartment cover is created according to the invention, in which the dashboard and the glove compartment cover have a surface skin and a foam layer underneath it, and one of the foam layers comprises a first recess. The dashboard furthermore comprises a locking mechanism for locking and unlocking the glove compartment cover and comprises a switch for actuating the locking mechanism. The dashboard is characterized in that the switch is arranged in the first recess of the foam layer under the surface skin.

Abstract: An air conducting device includes a rigid support, an outlet, a flexible element that is fixedly connected to the outlet and a deflecting means which allows the outlet to be tilted about at least one axis of rotation at least into a first and a second position. The flexible element is fixedly connected to the support at a distance from the outlet such that at least one of the axes of rotation is defined as a substantially stationary axis of rotation in the area of the outlet, at the level of the connection to the flexible element. The air conducting device includes a small size of the components and a small number of required individual parts.

Abstract: The invention concerns an air outlet for a vehicle with an actuator for an air outflow, with the actuator featuring a temperature-inducible deformation effect, and means to trigger the deformation effect.

Abstract: The invention relates to an end wall module for a transport vehicle. The inventive end wall module having a first wall and the second wall arranged at a distance therefrom. The first wall is embodied in the form of a first corrugated structure and the second wall is embodied in the form of a second corrugated structure. Said corrugated structures are embodied in such a way that they are distanced from each other when the end wall module is mounted without being deformed and are engaged into each other by the shape thereof when the end wall module is at least in the first deformation stage.

Abstract: A face wall for a motor vehicle comprises a first wall and a second wall that is disposed at a distance from the first wall. The first wall is provided with a recess for accommodating a brake booster that is fastened exclusively to the first wall. This assembly permits effective soundproofing in the area of the face wall, thereby increasing comfort during driving.

Abstract: Described is a control panel, especially for motor vehicles. The control panel has a frame structure consisting of linear elements, regions of the frame structure, defined by the linear elements, being partially sealed using plastic plate elements. The plastic plate elements are connected to the linear elements with a material fit. This provides an integrally rigid control panel which can be produced in a simple and economical manner, and requires no costly, local reinforcements.

Abstract: An end wall for a motor vehicle may include: a first wall as well as a second wall distanced thereto, a foam arranged between the first and second wall, an allocated first opening arranged in the first wall, an allocated second opening in the second wall for leading through a through-body penetrating the openings, wherein the foam at least in regions bears on the through-body, a peripheral gap is arranged between the through-body as well as the first and/or second wall in the region of the allocated openings, the foam comprises a foam opening for leading through the through-body, the foam opening—when the through-body has not been introduced, at least in regions—has a smaller diameter than the through-body.

Abstract: An improved system for designing vehicle interior trim parts or modules includes means for storing a specified package space profile and a CAD program for designing a module to be accommodated in the package space profile. The volume of the package space and the volume of the module are calculated. The ratio of the module volume to the package space volume is calculated and displayed on a screen.
