The present disclosure relates to a rear fender module for arrangement on a side panel of a motor vehicle body. The rear fender module includes a fender shell and at least one add-on part arranged thereon. The fender shell has at least two fastening sites for detachable fastening on the side panel.

A filler neck housing or charging housing for insertion into a body opening in a motor vehicle, comprising a housing section with a first sealing section and a second sealing section, the first sealing section being provided on an outer edge, which can be inserted into the body opening, of the housing section and being designed to bear in a sealing manner on the body opening, and the second sealing section being provided on a passage opening in the housing section, into which a tank filler pipe or a plug-in charging connector can be inserted, the second sealing section being designed to bear in a sealing manner against the tank filler pipe or the plug-in charging connector.

A lid device to be mounted on an oil filler port or an power supply port of a vehicle and for opening and closing the oil filler port or the power supply port includes a housing configured to be assembled to the oil filler port or the power supply port, a support body provided to be rotatable with respect to the housing, and a lid body attached to the support body. Reinforcing rib protruding toward a lid body side is formed on the support body. A portion of the reinforcing rib along a horizontal direction is inclined such that free end side faces downward when the lid device is mounted on the oil filler port.

An adapter is provided for securing a filling tube of a fuel container to a body of a motor vehicle. The adapter has a contact region for placement on the body and a first securing point for securing a first holder for the filling tube. This allows for it to be easily adapted to different vehicle body shapes.

An outer panel structure includes a front fender panel, which is an outer panel, and a charging receiver module or fuel receiver module. The front fender panel is provided at a side part of a vehicle, and includes a frame part formed therein by having a part thereof perforated in a thickness direction. The charging receiver module or fuel receiver module is inserted and fixed in the frame part. The charging receiver module or fuel receiver module includes a lid that can be opened and closed. The outer panel structure further includes a reinforcement bracket mounted to the front fender panel at a part located below an opening/closing hinge axis of the lid in terms of a vehicle height direction.

A charging flap system for electrically propelled vehicles has a charging socket bracket and a charging socket fastened therein having an outer wall, an inner wall and a cavity therebetween, including a DC power connection, and a charging flap, which is connected for rotation via an articulation joint with a return spring to the charging socket bracket and covers the DC power connection in a first position and reveals the power connection in a second position. An undercut is arranged on the articulation joint. A retaining hook has a socket pin, the bottom of which can be displaced on the charging socket bracket and which includes a tip which points towards the DC power connection. The retaining hook has a joint pin, which is connected to an end region opposite the tip and leads away from the charging socket bracket at a predefined angle, wherein the free end of the joint pin has a retaining lug matching the undercut. A spring is arranged on the joint pin such that the joint pin is pressed towards the charging socket. A recess is arranged in the outer wall of the charging socket such that the tip of the socket pin can be guided through the recess. The undercut of the articulation joint and the retaining hook are arranged such that, in the closed state of the charging socket cover, the retaining lug bears on a region of the articulation joint, which does not have an undercut, such that the tip of the socket pin extends through the outer wall but not into the cavity, and, in the opened state of the charging socket cover, the undercut is arranged such that the retaining lug engages in the undercut and the tip of the socket pin extends into the cavity.

The invention relates to a motor-driven covering device (2) for covering and exposing a charging connection (8) arranged on the body (4) of an electric vehicle (6) with respect to a vehicle exterior (16), comprising a cover flap (10) for covering the charging connection (8) in a closed state (I), a motor (12) operatively connected to the cover flap (10) for driving an opening movement and a closing movement of the cover flap (10), a power transmission means/device (14) for transmitting a motor power of the motor (12) for carrying out the opening movement and the closing movement of the cover flap (10), guide means/element (18) for guiding the cover flap (10) along a movement path during the opening movement and the closing movement of the cover flap (10), the motor-driven covering device (2) being configured in such a manner that the cover flap (10) can be moved along the body (4) of the electric vehicle (6) in a motor-driven manner during the opening and closing movement, wherein the body (4) at least partially covers the cover flap (10) with respect to the vehicle exterior (16) in an opened state (II) of the covering device (2).

A charging device for mounting in a bodywork opening of a motor vehicle has a holding element, which is designed for attachment to a bodywork part and has a through-opening. During mounting, a connecting element is inserted into the opening in order to produce a plug-in connection with an electrical charging station and/or with a fuel supply line for supplying fuel. A sealing unit is arranged on the rear side of the holding element, which surrounds a receiving area for the connecting element located behind the opening of the holding element, whereby the inserted connecting element is sealed towards the holding element. The sealing unit is attached to the holding element in such a way that it is covered by the connecting element after it has been inserted, so that it is not visible from the outside and seals against the connecting element.
