Abstract: A drive unit includes a wheel distribution gear mechanism for pivoting, for example, blades of an air vent for guiding an air current out of the air vent into a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. So as to be able to determine a rotational position of an output wheel of the wheel distribution gear mechanism, for example after a power failure, without a sensor, the invention provides a non-rotation block, which, when the wheel distribution gear mechanism is rotationally driven, reaches a blocking position in which this blocks the output wheel in a defined rotational position to prevent further rotation.

Abstract: A drive unit includes a wheel distribution gear mechanism for driving two output wheels as a function of the direction of rotation. An intermediate wheel, which meshes with a drive wheel of the wheel distribution gear mechanism, is movably guided on a circular path that is concentric with respect to an axis of rotation of the drive wheel, so as to reach a first driving position, meshing with a first output wheel, during rotation in a first direction of rotation, and a second driving position, meshing with a second output wheel, during rotation in an opposite second direction of rotation.

Abstract: A system comprising a cover for closing a charging opening of an electric vehicle in which a charging socket for charging a driving battery of the electric vehicle is located. The cover is mounted laterally next to the charging opening, on an inner side of the body part, so as to be pivotable about a first pivot axis by way of a hinge arm and can be pivoted by way of an electromechanical actuator. For activating the actuator, the invention provides a pivotable transfer body, which multiplies a path of the cover and activates the actuator by way of a push button.

Abstract: An air vent for ventilating a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. So as to laterally deflect an air current through the air vent, the air vent includes two louvers including non-pivotable blades, which are oriented obliquely to a flow-through direction through the air vent and which can be moved obliquely to the flow-through direction into an air channel of the air vent.

Abstract: So as to releasably fasten, in an accident-proof manner, a receptacle, which is, for example, cup-shaped, in a depression of a center console of a motor vehicle, serving as a seat for the receptacle, the invention provides a coupling including two detent elements which face away from one another and are disposed opposite one another, and which are urged apart by a spring element, catch lugs of which, projecting outwardly, extend over an edge of a rectangular fastening opening in a bottom of the receptacle. By rotating the receptacle by 30° to 45°, opposing corners of the fastening opening find their way beneath the catch lugs so that the receptacle can be removed from the seat.

Abstract: Two disks are consecutively disposed transversely to a flow direction in an air vent for a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, serving as air deflection elements that include mutually intersecting slots, through which a rod that is pivotably mounted in a ball and socket joint passes, so that the air deflection elements can be moved transversely in the air vent by way of the rod. By moving the air deflection elements, an air current through the air vent can be guided to the side, and thus air flowing out of the air vent can be guided obliquely to the side in any arbitrary direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roll top for a storage compartment in a center console of a motor vehicle and proposes to injection mold lamellae of the roll top in two layers from a hard plastic, and to subsequently mold joints made of an elastomer onto one of the two layers. A distance between a layer of the lamellae and the joints prevents the soft plastic of the joints, which is liquid during injection molding, from flowing onto this layer. As a result, a visible side of the roll top can be kept free of the soft plastic of the joints, and the soft plastic is prevented from flowing beneath a decorative layer applied by way of in-mold.

Abstract: An air vent for ventilating a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, including a rectangular housing and a rectangular air outlet opening. So as to guide an air current and so as to control an air volume, a flow-around body is proposed that can be displaced longitudinally and transversely in the housing and also be used to close the air outlet opening.

Abstract: A ventilation nozzle for the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, having an air-guiding device, for example a spoiler. In order to be able to demould the air-guiding device after its production by injection-moulding, the air-guiding device may be pivotally connected by way of a film hinge.

Abstract: In a holder for insertion of a beverage container, such as, for example, a can or a bottle, in order to compensate for the diameter, three pivotable flaps form compensating elements, of which one compensating element is mounted on the holder so as to be pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis and the other two compensating elements project from the one compensating element in both peripheral directions and are mounted on the one compensating element to be pivotable about vertical pivot axes. All three compensating elements are urged by spring-loading into a container receptacle of the holder.

Abstract: A holder for beverage containers has a container receptacle for a beverage container, a clamping device provided in the container receptacle, the clamping device including at least one semi-circular retaining clip which is mounted in an upper region of the container receptacle, two radially opposite hinges mounting the at least one semi-circular retaining clip in the upper region of the container receptacle on a circumference so that the at least one semi-circular retaining clip is mounted resiliently and pivotally, the at least one semi-circular retaining clip pivoting out of the container receptacle by a spring action opposite to an insertion direction of a beverage container, and stop members limiting a pivoting angle in both directions.
