An inductive charging unit for a vehicle includes a trough-shaped base support having a base surface and the base surface has laterally enclosing side walls where the base surface and the side walls form a trough. The charging unit further includes a top surface opposite the base surface and a primary coil for inductive coupling to a secondary coil associated with the vehicle, where the primary coil is disposed in the trough. A filling material is disposed in the trough and surrounds the primary coil so as to fix the primary coil mechanically.

Inductive charging unit for a vehicle

A coil device for a motor vehicle has a housing which has a receiving area, at least one secondary coil which is arranged in the receiving area for inductively transmitting electric energy in order to charge an energy storage unit of the motor vehicle, and at least one ferrite element which is arranged in the housing for conducting at least one magnetic field in order to inductively transmit the electric energy. The ferrite element has at least two ferrite regions that are at least partly mutually spaced by at least one through-opening which is arranged between the ferrite regions and in which a support structure is at least partly arranged that is made of a fiber composite material and has ferrite elements received in the fiber composite material, wherein opposing housing elements of the housing are supported against each other via said support structure.

Coil device for a motor vehicle, in particular for an automobile

An at least partially moveable motor-vehicle outer skin is already known per se. An actuator formed of a polymer and/or ion-exchanging and/or other material exhibiting various conformations is provided so that the outer skin can be moved. This material is moveable as a result of physical or chemical effects. The novel outer skin of a motor vehicle requires no expensive tools for the production thereof. The flat section of the outer skin of the bodywork of a motor vehicle is made of a flexible material. A flexible material such as material for convertible top covers is easily moveable yet the surface thereof cannot be increased. This material is tensed at least over one part of the rib of the motor vehicle, e.g. over a space frame. At least one mechanically moveable adjusting element is provided beneath or on top of the edge of the section enabling the outer skin to be deformed. The adjusting element is normally connected to the rib of the motor vehicle.
