Abstract: A device for winding up and unwinding an elongated flexible element having a free end and a spatially fixed end. The elongated flexible element is divided over its length at least into a use portion and a compensation portion, wherein the use portion has the free end and the compensation portion has the spatially fixed end. The device includes a rotatable drum configured on its circumference to wind up and unwind at least the use portion in a first winding plane, wherein the end of the compensation portion is spatially fixed relative to the drum. The elongated flexible element in the transition from the use portion to the compensation portion is fixed at a fastening point to the drum, and when the drum is rotated the compensation portion is coiled up and uncoiled in the form of at least one looped portion in a second winding plane.

Abstract: A cable-holding device may be provided for electric and hybrid vehicles that are provided with a rechargeable storage device for storing electrical energy. The storage device may include a charging cable that can be connected to an external power supply device for the purpose of charging the storage device and is at least temporarily connected to the vehicle. The charging cable is stowed in the cable-holding device of the vehicle when not in use. The cable-holding device includes a closed holding space for receiving the charging cable. The holding space is delimited by a lower plate and an upper plate and is closed on all sides. A clear height of the holding space is only slightly greater than the diameter of the charging cable. A holding surface for the charging cable on the lower plate is dimensioned to be large enough that the whole charging cable can be held in the form of loops, and the holding space has a side through opening for the charging cable.

Abstract: The motor vehicle has a glass roof, an antenna arrangement seated on this glass roof, and a metallic frame. An opening of the glass roof is located below the antenna arrangement and is covered thereby. The frame is located below the glass roof and forms a dome, which extends into the opening of the glass roof and to which the antenna arrangement is mechanically connected. A reflection surface associated with the antenna arrangement is attached on the lower side of the glass roof. The reflection surface has a grid structure made of intersecting lines extending transversely to the z direction. The lines are provided with a metallization which has a width of 0.5 to 2 mm. The intersecting lines delimit free fields, which are not metallized and have a maximum clear dimension of 3 to 15 mm.

Abstract: A motor vehicle sliding door can be moved by a sliding movement between open and closed positions, wherein, in order to lock the sliding door in the open position, a mechanical door stop in the form of a locking latch which has a receiving region for a catch element of the sliding door is provided, and wherein the locking latch can be released by a motorized actuation device, whereby the catch element is released. In the event of failure of the motorized actuation device of the locking latch, for an intuitive unlocking and locking of the sliding door in the open position thereof may be achieved in that the locking latch has a resiliently loaded overload lever, in that the overload lever forms a lateral portion of the receiving region of the locking latch and in that, when the locking latch is locked, the overload lever can be pivoted outward when a specific pushing force of the sliding door is exceeded.

Abstract: A tank recess for motor vehicles comprising a recess body having a device for fastening to a vehicle body opening from outside and having a tank feed line sealing portion, characterized in that the recess body has a fold-over sealing edge on the base portion, such that a flange on an inner metal plate of the vehicle body opening is encompassed by the fold-over sealing edge, such that in the installed position the sealing edge is able to be placed sealingly around the flange of the vehicle body opening.
