  • Patent number: 4778208
    Abstract: A yielding arrangement of a bumper at the body of a motor vehicle in which the bumper is connected with a longitudinal bearer by way of impact shock absorbers under interposition of a deformation member. For purposes of obtaining a high energy absorption with a comparatively large deformation displacement, the deformation member is essentially formed by several roll sheet metal members which extend substantially parallel to the impact shock absorber along the inner walls of a housing secured at the longitudinal bearer. The roll members are connected at their ends opposite the bumper with the housing and at their other ends are secured at the impact shock absorber.

  • Patent number: 4566730
    Abstract: A sliding/lifting roof for motor vehicles having a cover closing an opening in the roof in its closed position and, at both longitudinal sides of the opening in the roof, being guided in a slideable manner, by means of a respective guiding member in a longitudinal guide. The cover is disposed so that it can be pivoted around a swivel axis extending transversely, is connected, via a tilt-out mechanism, with a drive member, and, by a sliding of the drive member, can be swung out, while lifting its rear edge, above the roof surface, or is slideable, by lowering its rear edge, under the fixed roof surface. The tilt-out mechanism has a link that is connected with the drive member and a tilt-out lever that engages with the link, with the tilt-out lever being rotatably coupled to the cover and, with respect to the link, being longitudinally movable in the sliding direction of the roof by a certain distance as well as being swingable.
