RECEIVING STRUCTURE FOR BATTERY CELLS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A RECEIVING STRUCTURE FOR BATTERY CELLS
The present disclosure sets out a receiving structure for battery cells and, in particular for a high-voltage battery for a motor vehicle, the structure including a cell holder made of a foam material with recesses for receiving and fixing the respective battery cells, the cell holder being shaped in such a way that, when the battery cells are arranged in the recesses as intended, at least one region is left free at the respective battery cells, so that an electrically non-conductive cooling medium can flow around this region. The disclosure further sets out a battery and in particular a high-voltage battery for a motor vehicle, having at least one such receiving structure as well as to a method for producing a receiving structure for battery cells.

The present disclosure relates to a cross car beam for a vehicle, the cross car beam including a first main body extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end. The first main body has a u-shaped cross section following the longitudinal direction. The cross car beam is formed integrally by at least one fiber reinforced polymer.
A retaining component for securing at least one cable, includes a main body with a base and a foot element formed on the base. Two webs extend from the base. Both webs extend essentially parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction and form a receiving area for receiving at least one cable. At least one of the webs includes a latching element disposed on an outer side configured to be brought into friction-locking and/or positive-locking engagement with a cover element. The cover element features two holes configured to be brought into engagement with the latching element of a web of the retaining component in a closed position. The cover element is connected to the retaining component to produce a friction-locking and/or positive-locking connection between the webs and the cover element.

A lighting device for a motor vehicle includes a light guide body having a first outer surface free from a dedicated light decoupling structure, and a second outer surface, in which the outer surfaces are spaced from each other by a thickness of the light guide body. On the light guide body, a light coupling surface and a light decoupling region are provided by a dedicated light decoupling structure being formed on the second outer surface. The light decoupling structure includes a light decoupling element. When in an illuminated operating mode, the light decoupling region is an opaque region of the light guide body, inhibiting the visibility of a portion of a design element for a human viewer, and in a non-illuminated operating mode the light decoupling region is a transparent region of the light guide body, permitting the visibility of a design element for a human viewer.
