A battery module for a motor vehicle has a battery module housing () with an insertion opening () and at least one battery cell package () is arranged in the battery module housing (). The battery cell package () has at least two battery cells () arranged parallel to one another and at least one compression pad () arranged parallel to the battery cells (). The battery cells () and the at least one compression pad () are stacked one on top of the other in any desired order in a thickness direction (D). The battery cell package () is inserted in an insertion direction (E) through the insertion opening () into the battery module housing (). The battery cell package () also has two insertion auxiliary layers () that respectively form outer sides () of the battery cell package () that are opposite in the thickness direction (D).

Battery module for a motor vehicle and method for the production thereof

A sill for a body structure of a vehicle, in an installed state, extends substantially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Outer, middle and inner sill parts are each of shell-like or hat-like cross section and have respective sill strengths. The outer sill part and the inner sill part are connected to one another at respective upper and lower ends thereof via flanges. A middle sill part is positioned between the outer sill part and the inner sill part. The middle sill part is connected at least to the inner sill part. At least in a region of a front section as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the outer sill part has a strength which is lower than a mean strength of the sill, which is dependent on the outer sill strength, the inner sill strength and the middle sill strength and masses thereof.

Sill for a vehicle

A support structure is provided for a motor vehicle that has a front wheel (). The support structure includes an A pillar () having a slide-off surface () for the front wheel. The slide-off surface for the front wheel () is inclined so that the front wheel () slides out along the slide-off surface ().

Motor vehicle support structure

A seat for a transportation vehicle has a rigid seat cushion structure and a rigid seat back structure. The seat back structure has two rigid side parts and upper and lower crosspieces connecting the side parts. The upper crosspiece connects the two side parts to each other in the region of their upper ends, and the lower crosspiece connects the two side parts at a distance from the lower ends. The lower crosspiece is above that region of the rear part that supports the posterior of the occupant. The arrangement of the lower rigid crosspiece holds the posterior of the occupant between the lower crosspiece and the seat cushion structure. Thus, the occupant's back and head are not moved up, in particular are not moved beyond the region of the head restraint of the rear part.

Seat in a means of transportation

A motor vehicle structure has an A pillar (), a sill, a front wheel () and a slide-off surface () for the front wheel (). The A pillar (), as viewed in cross section, exhibits a higher strength in an inner region () than in an outer region () in order to realize the slide-off surface ().

An adjusting device () is provided for a vehicle subassembly to be adjusted. The adjusting device has an adjusting motor which, via an adjusting mechanism, drives a toothed rocker () assigned to the vehicle subassembly to be adjusted. The adjusting mechanism structurally reinforces the vehicle subassembly to be adjusted, and an adjusting worm () of the structurally reinforcing adjusting mechanism acts directly on the toothed rocker ().

Adjusting device for a vehicle subassembly to be adjusted

An adjustable seat structure () extends over substantially the width of the seat. An electric drive unit () is on one side () of the seat but adjusts the seat structure () on both sides of the seat. Locks () for fixing the seat structure () are provided on both sides. The seat ensures a structurally simple adjustment and fixing of the seat on both sides. The adjustment forces are transmitted by the seat structure from the drive unit located on one side of the seat to the other side of the seat.

Seat for a motor vehicle

A backrest of a motor vehicle seat () has a head restraint () that can be adjusted in height with the aid of a guide. To reduce the production costs of the backrest, the guide for the height adjustment of the head restraint () is integrated in the head restraint ().

Backrest of a motor vehicle seat

The invention relates to a method for adjusting a passenger seat () in a motor vehicle, in particular in an open two-seater. The method includes verifying whether the passenger seat () is occupied and adjusting the passenger seat, according to one or more settings of the driver seat () selected by the driver of the motor vehicle if a verification result determines that the passenger seat is not occupied.

Method for adjusting a passenger seat in a motor vehicle

A seat frame () for a vehicle seat has two seat supports () that extend in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and are intended for laterally attaching the seat frame () to a vehicle floor () or to adjustment rails () for the seat frame (). A seat shell () is mounted in and connected to the seat supports () and is configured for accommodating a seat cushion. The seat shell () is connected to the respective seat support () so that the seat shell () and the seat support () form a closed profile in the connection region. The seat shell () is formed from a light metal and combines maximum weight reduction with a high degree of rigidity, in particular high torsional or bending stiffness.

Seat frame for a vehicle seat

A device is provided for electrically adjusting a vehicle seat (). The device has left and right articulated constructions () arranged respectively on left and right sides () of the vehicle seat (). The device also has at least one electric motor () coupled to left and right gear mechanisms () for moving the respective left and right articulated constructions () and left and right locking mechanisms () for locking the respective left and right articulated constructions (). The design permits a precise adjustment of the vehicle seat and secure locking of the vehicle seat in the event of a crash.

Device for electrically adjusting a vehicle seat

An arrangement is provided for a component () and a drive element () for the component. The drive element has a housing (). The component is produced by a primary forming process, such as die-casting, thixomolding or plastic injection molding so that a region of the component defines the housing of the drive element. The component and the housing are distinguished by a low weight and a small structural space requirement.

Arrangement of a component and of a drive element assigned to this component

An adjustable vehicle seat () has an inclinable seat part () and an inclinable backrest () mounted to the seat part (). Front and rear areas of the seat part () are mounted pivotably in bearings () at positions adjacent to remote sides of the seat part (). The bearings () also are mounted pivotably in the vehicle floor or rails (). The lengths of the front bearings () can be changed for changing an inclination of the seat part (). A backrest adjusting motor adjusts inclination of the backrest () to compensate for changes in the inclination of the seat part ().

Adjustable vehicle seat

A vehicle seat has a seat element that forms a seat surface and has a seat back () or backrest. The seat back () has a frame () and an airbag (). The airbag () has a gas-receiving element () and an inflating device () for the gas-receiving element (). The gas-receiving element () is defined at one side by a portion () of the frame () and at the other side by a delimiting element () that is fastened to the frame () and that can be displaced as the airbag () inflates.

Vehicle seat

An adjustable vehicle seat () has an inclinable seat part (). Front and rear bearings () have upper ends pivotably connected to front and rear areas of the seat part () and having lower ends mounted pivotably in bearings () in floor rails (). The front bearings () have an adjustable length for changing an inclination of the seat part (). First additional links () are mounted pivotably about a first axis (G) in the seat part (). Second additional links () have lower ends mounted pivotably in the rails () and upper parts connected pivotably to the first additional link () at a second axis (G) spaced from the first axis (G). An inclinable backrest () is mounted pivotably in the first additional link ().
