A test bench for simulating oscillations with at least one roller that has a running face on at least part of which a roadway covering is applied. The roller is rotatably mounted and supported by an axle. At least one excitation device is provided, which additionally moves the roller in at least one spatial direction, in particular in the vertical direction of the vehicle.

A cap is provided for a seat belt retractor having a housing. The cap is placed onto a side of the seat belt retractor facing a sensor. The cap is made of aluminum and is equipped with an adhesive plate by which the cap is glued onto the housing. The adhesive plate may consist of a butyl adhesive.

A folding top for passenger car vehicles is disclosed which can be displaced from a vehicle top closed position into a rearside deposited position and is composed of a supporting folding top structure and a folding top covering interacting therewith. The folding top structure includes a dimensionally stable folding top section which, in the closed position, is arranged adjacent to a windshield frame and can be displaced into the vehicle rear area in such a manner that the outer boundary surface of the dimensionally stable folding top section facing away from the passenger compartment is always directed upwards during the whole adjustment movement. The linking of the folding top covering to the longitudinal sides is designed in such a manner that, in addition to a smooth opening and closing of the folding top, tolerances of the folding top covering can be compensated and an overstretching of the folding top covering during the opening and closing is avoided. It is provided that the folding top covering, on the vehicle longitudinal sides, is fastened to the dimensionally stable folding top section and is fastened on a main hoop, whereas the folding top covering rests, without being fastened, against a B-column of the folding top structure disposed in-between and is pulled by means of a tension rope and a fabric control in a defined manner into a receiving device provided on the B-column.

Folding top for vehicles

A folding top for vehicles, particularly passenger cars, is composed of a folding top structure and a folding top covering, the folding top covering and sealing strips being held in position on lateral frame parts of the folding top structure. So that, in the case of a folding top, the mounting expenditures for changing the folding top covering are reduced and, on the other hand, the surrounding noises in the driving operation which occur at the lateral frame parts are minimized, it is provided that the linkages for the folding top covering and for the sealing strips are provided separately and spaced away from one another on the lateral frame parts. Wall sections of the lateral frame parts extend between the two spaced linkages and are not covered by the folding top covering and form the shell of the vehicle body. The end area of the wall sections facing the folding top covering is constructed such that, together with the adjoining folding top covering, it forms a rain groove.

An actuating device for a motor vehicle top and a top receptacle cover comprises an actuating lever and a displacement device. By way of the actuating lever which can be pivoted from the driver's seat, the top receptacle cover can be moved between a closed position and an open position and the top between a second operating position and a third operating position. To further improve such an actuating device so that with a simple construction it functions well, avoids errors in manipulation and is easily manipulated, the actuating lever is pivoted in a first direction such that the top receptacle cover is moved from a closed position into an opened position. Consequently, a first coupling element, which is in operative connection with the displacement device, takes up a receiving position in which a second coupling element provided on the top can engage the first coupling element when the top is in the second operating position. By renewed pivoting of the actuating lever in a second, reverse direction, the top receptacle cover and the top are moved downwardly together into the closed position and the third operating position by the engaged coupling.
