  • Patent number: 6158803
    Abstract: A vehicle sun roof with a cover (3) intended to cover a roof opening (5) when in the closed position and to be both pushed upwards at its rear edge so as to be at least in the aeration position, and elevated relative to its closed position so as to be at least in the open position. Furthermore, the vehicle roof has a cover elevating and displacing device (3) along at least one guide integrated to the roof, which has also a bearing device extending from the rear edge area of the cover. In order for the roof to have a more stable bearing when in the open position and to keep, at the same time, the same smooth appearance as in the closed position, a bearing device (43) is provided which has an inactive position at or below the cover level (3).

  • Patent number: 5740842
    Abstract: A fuel tank arrangement for a motor vehicle. The arrangement includes a fuel tank containing fuel therein and having a gas space disposed above the fuel, and a venting device connected to the fuel tank. The venting device includes an activated charcoal filter and a venting conduit connecting the gas space to the activated charcoal filter for establishing gas communication therebetween. A stop valve is disposed in the venting conduit and is adapted to open gas communication between the gas space and the activated charcoal filter during refueling. Moreover, a fuel separator is disposed in the venting conduit for separating fuel from a gas flow through the venting conduit thereby yielding separated fuel.
