Patent EP-0968102-A1 (EP)
Inventor: STADLER PETER
IPC: B60Q1/14
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: A steering column assembly for arranging in an area of a steering column in a motor vehicle comprises a locating device, a centrally arranged support board, and at least one steering column switch. The locating device comprises a receptacle for the support board and at least one laterally-aligned receptacle for the steering column switch. The support board establishes electrical connection between the connections of the steering column switch and the vehicle's control devices allocated to the steering column switch. The control devices allocated to the steering column switch are at least in part arranged on the support board. The ease of servicing such a known steering column assembly is decisively improved in that the receptacle for the support board is radially aligned and the support board can be connected to the locating device from a radial direction.

Abstract: Laminae suitable for use in molds for forming retroreflective cube corner elements and methods for making such laminae are disclosed. A representative lamina includes a first row of cube corner elements disposed in a first orientation and a second row of optically opposing cube corner elements disposed. The working surface of a lamina is provided with a plurality of cube corner elements formed by the optical surfaces defined by three groove sets. Opposing first and second groove sets are formed in the working surface of a lamina. The first groove set forms a plurality of structures having first and second optical surfaces disposed in mutually perpendicular planes that intersect along a reference edge. The second groove set forms a corresponding plurality of structures on the opposite side of the lamina. A third groove is formed in the working surface of the lamina along an axis substantially perpendicular to the axes of the grooves of the first and second groove sets. The surfaces of the third groove intersect the surfaces of the plurality of structures in substantially mutually perpendicular planes to define a plurality of cube corner elements. A plurality of such laminae can be assembled to form a mold useful in the manufacture of retroreflective products such as cube corner sheeting.
