Embedded lettering, emblems and signs on

Motor vehicles

The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a vehicle surface having elements such as lettering, emblems, symbols or the like according to the preamble of the protection claim 1.

It is known to place elements such as lettering, emblems or symbols on the surface of motor vehicles, whereby the assembly is carried out using pin sleeves or by screwing or gluing.

The disadvantage here, however, is that such elements can be removed from the surface relatively easily and therefore do not offer effective protection against unauthorized removal or against changes, for example to model names. Furthermore, such attached elements often give the impression of being cheaply manufactured.

The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1, in which removal of the elements from the vehicle surface is made more difficult and the attachment of the elements to the

Vehicle surface gives a high-quality impression.

This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the further claims.

According to the invention, the vehicle surface is provided with recesses or depressions adapted to the elements, into which the elements are embedded.

With the help of the design according to the invention it is achieved that the elements, for example lettering, emblems or symbols, can only be removed from the surface of the motor vehicle with difficulty. Furthermore, the type of fastening according to the invention conveys the impression of high manufacturing quality.

The elements can be mounted either flush or protruding from the vehicle surface.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the recesses are pressed into the surface.

A particularly strong and secure connection is achieved when the elements are welded or glued to the surface.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, for example. This shows a perspective partial section of the vehicle surface to which the elements are attached in the manner according to the invention.

As can be seen from the drawing, elements in the form of lettering, emblems or symbols 1 can be embedded either together or separately into previously removed surfaces 2. This can be done, for example, by the

from the back of the surface 2. The lettering can be mounted flush or protruding from the vehicle surface 2.

The recesses 3.1 can be made in the surface 2 mechanically or electrically. It can be done, for example, subsequently using a laser or directly during the production of the surface 2. Furthermore, the surface can additionally or alternatively receive a recess 3.2, for example, made by pressing, in order to accommodate the lettering, emblems or characters 1. The lettering, emblems or characters 1 can be attached, for example, by welding or gluing.
