Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle component made of plastic, in particular a vehicle body shell component, with at least one supporting layer, with at least one outer skin and with at least one tear-resistant splinter protection layer. According to the invention, the splinter protection layer is formed as a splinter protection fabric and is embedded in the at least one supporting layer, in particular in the edge region thereof, or between two adjacent layers. The splinter protection fabric has the effect of avoiding sharp-edged breaks of the vehicle component in an accident.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a composite component, with the following steps: separate producing a decorative composite made of at least one backing layer and of at least one colorant layer, separate producing a structural composite made of at least one outer layer and of at least one spacer confected thereto, introducing a connecting layer between decorative composite and structural composite, and joining of the structural composite and of the decorative composite together with hardening of the connecting layer.

Abstract: A roof module for motor vehicles is disclosed having an exterior skin, a material layer adjacent thereto, a spacer layer, and a circumferential plastic material.

Abstract: This invention relates to a shade arrangement for a motor vehicle with at least two shades having lengths of shade material (10a, 10b), which are located next to one another and to one end of which a respective pull (14a, 14b) is attached. Both of the lengths of shade material (10a, 10b) are drawn out and taken up in the same direction at their opposite end from/onto a common roller tube (12) which is pretensioned in the take-up direction.

Abstract: The invention concerns an interface unit (50,80) with an electrical interface (40, 110) for connection to an electrical USB cable, an optical interface to connect to at least one optical waveguide for sending and receiving of optical signals, and a conversion unit that is capable of converting the signals D+ and D? at the electrical interface to optical signals for output at the optical interface, and that is capable of converting the optical signals from the optical interface to electrical signals and output these signals as D+ and D? at the electrical interface According to the invention it is defined that the conversion unit has an analyzing unit (210) for separation of the useful signals (NS) and the control signals (SS) that are contained in the D+ and D? signals, and that the analyzing unit is subsequently connected to a recovery unit (220, 400) that generates at least two electrical driver signals for subsequent sending units out of the useful signals (NS) and the control signals (SS), and that the sub

Abstract: A shade system for a motor vehicle roof, with at least one first and one second shade arrangement which are arranged in line with one another in the lengthwise direction of the roof and each have a take-up shaft, a shade on which can be taken up thereon, and a pull which acts on the free end of the shade, and at least one compressively stiff drive cable which is driven by a drive and which is securely coupled at a first location to the pull of the first shade arrangement. The drive cable is securely coupled at a second point to the pull of the second shade arrangement in a first segment of motion of the second point and in a subsequent second segment of motion of the second point is decoupled from the pull of the second shade arrangement, the coupling or decoupling taking place automatically a locking element.

Abstract: A roof module for motor vehicles is disclosed having an exterior skin, a material layer adjacent thereto, a spacer layer, and a circumferential plastic material.

Abstract: A process and tool for producing a composite body part for a motor vehicle, especially for producing a roof module, the tool having a first tool part and a second tool part which are movable relative to one another. The outer skin is inserted in the first tool part, at least part of the peripheral edge area of the side of the outer skin facing the first tool part being moved into sealing contact with a seal arrangement which is provided on the first tool part, plastic material is applied to the side of the outer skin facing away from the first tool part, the second tool part provision shaping the plastic material, and the composite body part being released from the seal arrangement and removed from the tool.

Abstract: This invention relates to a shade system for a motor vehicle roof, with at least one first (12) and one second shade arrangement (10) which are arranged offset to one another in the lengthwise direction of the roof and each have a take-up shaft (14, 16), a length of shade (18, 20) which proceeding from its one end can be taken up thereon, and a pull (22, 24) which acts on the free end of the length of shade, and at least one compressively stiff drive cable (26, 28) which is driven by a drive (30, 32) and which is securely coupled at a first location (34, 36) to the pull (24) of the first shade arrangement (12).

Abstract: A process for producing a motor vehicle roof with a roof module (8), and a roof module produced thereby, which is formed of a composite component (7) with an outer roof skin (8) and a stiffening structure (9) which is attached to its inside, the composite component (7) being formed with a roof opening (12) and with a roof closing unit (13) which closes the roof opening (12) added to it. The composite component (7) is produced, on the one hand, with a dimensioning and surface configuration matched to a given roof closing unit (13), and on the other hand, with a dimensioning matched to a given body roof frame (4). In this manner, a roof closing unit that is not designed for the given body roof frame part can be fitted thereto.

Abstract: A multi-part hollow chamber seal for sealing a rectangular cover (10) relative to the edge of a rectangular motor vehicle roof opening with a connecting part for connecting a sealing part (14) which runs around a curved comer to a sealing part (13) which adjoins it via a seam, in the form of a connecting tube (21) which penetrates the seam and which is inserted into the hollow chambers (19, 20) of the two sealing parts (13, 14). The connecting tube (21) extends along the entire bend of the sealing part (14) which runs around the corner.
