Patent number: 9354376Abstract: An illuminable component having a two-dimensionally extending decorative element which has at least one translucent region and at least one non-translucent region. A lighting source serves to illuminate the at least one translucent region. A light-filtering layer is arranged between the decorative element and the lighting source, the layer being integrally attached to a rear side of the decorative element by injection molding. A structure is provided that completely absorbs and/or scatters light when the lighting source is transported to the specified edge. As a result, leakage light at an edge of the component can be reliably avoided.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: WEIDPLAS GmbHInventor: Thomas Englert

Patent number: 9206857Abstract: A compensating torque-transmitting coupling has a tubular base body extending in a longitudinal direction along a center axis and formed in one piece of an intermediate region and a pair of end regions longitudinally flanking the intermediate region. The intermediate region is of greater inside diameter and smaller outside diameter than the end regions and is formed with a plurality of angularly spaced transversely extending slots also spaced in the longitudinal direction. The slots each extend radially from an outer surface to an inner surface of the tubular base body. An elastomeric body filling each of the transverse slots.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2012Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: RINGFEDER POWER-TRANSMISSION GMBHInventor: Thomas Englert
