Abstract: A load-bearing structure for motor vehicles has a load-bearing floor of lightweight construction merging at its front in a footwell region into an upwardly projecting end wall. The structure also has a front-end structure which forms a crumple zone, is supported in the region of the end wall, and includes lightweight structural panels running in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the vehicle. The footwell region is bounded laterally and at the top by a panel arrangement of lightweight construction which, together with the floor and the end wall, forms a supporting box for the front-end structure.

Abstract: A motor vehicle having a lamp unit which is arranged on the outwardly facing end of a supporting structure of the vehicle, the arrangement of the lamp unit including an energy-absorbing deformation element which surrounds the circumference of an associated reflector and as a consequence of being supported axially on an opposite surface of the supporting structure collapses, with a reduction in length, when subjected to excessive impact stress, and the reflector forming a constructional unit together with a transparent lens and a lamp housing. The lamp housing itself is designed as an energy-absorbing deformation element.

Abstract: A central console for a motor vehicle interior has a lower stowage compartment which can be closed by a lid module and is bounded laterally by side walls. The lid module can be pivoted about a pivot axis which is arranged at its rear end and runs in the transverse direction of the vehicle. An upper stowage compartment is arranged on the lower side of the lid module for accommodating a telephone device or other items and is covered by a first lid forming part of an armrest. A further upper stowage space is covered by a second lid which is designed as a further part of the armrest and can be pivoted about a pivot axis. The further upper stowage space is designed as part of the upper stowage compartment and together with the second lid is assigned to the lid module in such a manner that they can be pivoted together with the lid module.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a supporting structure provided at one end of a safety passenger compartment with a crumple zone and two wheel arches located in the vicinity of the crumple zone on the sides. A wheel is located in each respective wheel arch held by wheel guide members. A deflecting area extends diagonally to a central lengthwise axis of the motor vehicle for the associated wheel, between the safety passenger compartment and the rolling circumference of the two wheels in the straight-ahead position of the deflecting surface for the associated wheel against which the wheel moved by the crash-produced deformation of the crumple zone against the deflecting surface is deflected past the end of the safety passenger compartment. The deflecting surfaces are diagonally downwardly directed deflecting ramps by which the wheels are directed toward the safety passenger compartment and below the floor of the motor vehicle as the crumple zone collapses.

Abstract: A support structure for a vehicle is comprised primarily of multi-walled lightweight panels with plane-parallel flat sides, and at least one fitting can be fastened to the support structure. An opening is cut out of a lightweight panel of the support structure that is designated for the fitting, and the fitting can be installed in this opening, covering the opening completely. A support arrangement attached to the fitting operates in conjunction with the edge of the opening in the lightweight panel as an installation stop for the fitting.

Abstract: A heat exchanger arrangement on a front carrying structure of a motor vehicle, with a passage orifice for the cooling-air stream which is largely overlapped by a heat exchanger module of the arrangement and which extends in a vehicle transverse plane and is delimited on two mutually opposite sides by wall regions of the carrying structure, the wall regions belong to the deformable zone of the forward structure. The heat exchanger module is mounted on the front carrying structure in such a way that, in the event of head-on collisions subjecting the region of the passage orifice to stress, said heat exchanger module, while absorbing impact energy, co-operates reinforcingly with the wall regions of the carrying structure.

Abstract: An arm rest is disclosed for a vehicle seat, in particular a pivotable central support for the rear seat bench of a passenger car. The arm rest has a padded body and a pull-out part which is integrated in said padded body, which pullout part can be pulled out on an end side and on being pulled out releases a drinking vessel holder. In order to enable more extensive use of the arm rest to accommodate mobile objects, the pull-out in which latching part can be secured in a first pull-out stage, the drinking vessel holder is exposed, using a latching assembly. An upwardly open compartment is arranged in the pull-out part, in the pull-out direction behind the drinking vessel holder. This compartment is exposed, after the latching assembly has been overcome, by further pulling out of the pull-out part in a second pull-out stage determined by an end stop.

Abstract: A child seat for a motor vehicle is adjustable between a lower retracted state at the normal seat height of the motor vehicle seat, and an unfolded position in which the child seat stands out from the normal seat height for occupation by a child. A frame and a supporting structure are connected and hinge-jointed to each other by front and rear parallelogram arms. At least one diagonal locking brace is hinged on one side to one of the frame, the supporting structure and one of the parallelogram arms, and on an other side is guided by a tranverse part in a longitudinal guide. A locking segment has at least one holding notch to accommodate the transverse part, with flanks extending transversely to the longitudinal guide and a handle for releasing the tranverse part from the holding notch. The handle extends over a region of a front surface of the child seat.

Abstract: The bonded fitting of window panes or windshields onto the window-pane flange of the window aperture of a motor-vehicle body has a set bead of adhesive which is applied between those edges of the window pane which are on the inside and the window-pane flange. In this arrangement, in each of the two lower corners there is provided, between the window pane and the bead of adhesive, a respective pressure-sensitive adhesive strip with the adhesive or bonding force reduced on one side. The pressure-sensitive adhesive strip extends from the corners of the window pane along the edges of the window pane in each case for 60 to 120 mm. When removing the window pane the pressure-sensitive adhesive strip in these corners is easily detached without using much force from the inner edge of the window pane by tilting the rest of the window pane which has been cut free.
