Cup holder with a housing is integrated into a center console of a passenger car. The cup holder includes a supporting carriage which has a stable one-piece frame in which two recesses are arranged as cup receiving devices. The supporting carriage is arranged in such a manner on a supporting arm guided linearly along the moving range that, in the moving range between a first and a second operating position, the frame can additionally be swivelled about a swivel pin horizontally relative to the supporting arm.

A vertically adjustable roll bar for a motor vehicle is disclosed which has side arms displaceable within holding tubes rising vertically parallel to the vehicle sides. The holding tubes are connected to one another by a connecting element on the tube stems extending in the direction of the vehicle width. The holding tubes are supplemented by another transverse-running connecting element to form a rigid guide frame, which is rectangularly closed in the transverse direction of the vehicle.

A motor vehicle rollover protection device is provided at each side of the vehicle and can be raised out of a lowered position in one plane into a supporting position and fixed in this supporting position. At least one of the rollover protection devices is arranged to extend approximately in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and on each of the two sides of a vehicle body. In the lowered position, the device is sunk into a vehicle side wall.

A convertible top for vehicles with a frame and a textile cover, in which two columns stretching the cover material are pivotal about an axis extending transversely to the vehicle and with a closed convertible top have a maximum distance from one another at the height of the upper edges of the side walls of an associated body; this maximum distance is adapted to be automatically reduced in the course of the folding-in operation by means of spring-loaded adjusting mechanisms as a function of the pivot angle of the columns stretching the cover material. In order to enable a folding-in of the convertible top into a top box of a vehicle rear section tapered for aerodynamic reasons, the columns supporting the fabric material of the textile cover are each formed by a roof column and a fabric-retaining bow-shaped member of which the roof column extends offset toward the inside and the fabric-retaining bow-shaped member is arranged on the outside of the roof column, and the fabric-retaining bow-shaped member which is pivotally connected in the upper area of the roof column, is adapted to be pivoted from an outwardly pivoted stretching position in which, with a closed top, it predetermines the lateral inclination of the textile cover, into a pivoted-in folding position in which it extends essentially parallel to the roof column.

A cooling arrangement for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, especially an internal combustion engine enclosed in a sound or noise absorbing shroud. The cooling arrangement includes a cooling air duct having an air intake and an air exhaust, with a radiator being disposed in the cooling air duct, which radiator cooperates with a fan disposed downstream thereof, as viewed in a normal flow direction of the cooling air. To improve the cooling capacity and the operating ranges of dynamic air ventilation, a regulating device is disposed in the air flow at a position downstream of the radiator, with the regulating device being adapted to regulate an air throughflow through the radiator. The regulating device is disposed in a vicinity of the air exhaust of the cooling air duct and the fan is located outside of the cooling air duct and connected to the air duct by a bypass cooling air conduit. The regulating device is adapted to close the air exhaust of the air duct when the fan is switched on or operating.
