Patent number: 10668872Abstract: A door edge protector for an edge of a door of a motor vehicle includes a unitary extrusion having a push rod member having a proximal end coupled to a rear wall member by a coupling member. The unitary extrusion also includes a pull member coupled to the rear wall member and extending to an edge covering member. An adhesive attaches the unitary extrusion to an interior surface of the door of the motor vehicle. In a first position of the push rod member, the push rod member is not in contact with the pull member and the edge covering member extends around the edge of the door. In a second position of the push rod member, the push rod member is in contact with the pull member and compresses a portion of the pull member so as to retract the edge covering member.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Marten Wittorf, Uwe Schmitz

Patent number: 8967313Abstract: A front hood is provided for a motor vehicle that includes, but is not limited to damping element of plastic arranged between a top structure and a bottom structure. The damping element is glued to the top structure and the bottom structure. In the event of a head impact on the front hood the deformation of the top structure is retarded by the damping element. The damping element in the process supports itself on the bottom structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Uwe Schmitz, Bernd Dreyer, Grace Thompson, Joachim Schaefer, Joerg Fuge, Anett Kilian

Patent number: 8926002Abstract: A motor vehicle body includes, but is not limited to a front hood, a windshield rising from a rear edge of the front hood and a cross member substantially extending over the width of the windshield, of which a front edge supports a front lower edge of the windshield and a rear edge is supported on a structural element of the body. A top side of the cross member faces the passenger cell and a bottom side faces the engine compartment. Between the front edge and the rear edge the cross member comprises at least one first region, in which the top side is concavely curved in a section plane running in vehicle longitudinal direction and which yields to a load by intensifying the curvature along an apex line yielding towards the engine compartment and pivoting of two zones extending on both sides of the apex line towards each other.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Joachim Schaefer, Uwe Schmitz, Stefan Wolff, Stephan Walter

Patent number: 8720978Abstract: A motor vehicle body with a front hood, a front window rising from a rear edge of the front hood, and an elongated cross member is provided. The elongated cross member includes a middle region curved channel-like in section in a vehicle longitudinal direction. A contact zone of the elongated cross member supports a lower edge of the front window and a longitudinal end supports the elongated cross member. A transition region is between the longitudinal end and the middle region and, in section in the vehicle longitudinal direction, is less curved than the middle region.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2013Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Joachim Schaefer, Uwe Schmitz, Stefan Wolff
