Abstract: A covering device (100) for a vehicle, includes: a cover (10); a drive element (40a, 40b) formed to enable a movement of the cover, wherein the drive element brings about a force which acts on the cover. The covering device has a force-limitation apparatus (30a, 30b) which limits the force brought about by the drive element to a limit force so that the covering device is protected in the event of an overload acting on the covering device and/or a user is protected when using the covering device. An actuator (200) has a drive apparatus (210) with a drive element (211); an output drive element (290); and a force-decoupling apparatus (230). The force-decoupling apparatus is formed so that it at least temporarily does not output a force taken up by the drive element or at least temporarily outputs it in a delayed manner to the output drive element.

Abstract: A switch actuating device (1) for a vehicle door includes an actuating element (10) with an actuating surface (11), a mechanical switch (20) and a mechanism (30). The switch is secured on a first component/component group (31). A lever (32) is mounted for pivot in relation to the first component/component group (31). A first region (32.2) of the lever is connected to a first part of the actuating element (10) via a first articulation (10.1). A second part of the actuating element (10) is mounted on the first component/component group (31) via a second articulation (10.2). The actuating element (10) bends when the actuating surface (11) is subjected to manual pressure causing the distance between the first articulation (10.1) and the second articulation (10.2) to shorten, which causes the lever (32) to pivot toward the switch such that the switch is switched.

Abstract: A door handle assembly for an automobile comprising a grab section being manually actuatable from the outside or the inside of the door of an automobile, which grab section is moveably mounted between a resting position and an opening position on a bearing component to be mounted on the door, and which is connected to an actuating lever, which is also moveably mounted on the bearing component such that the actuating lever upon a movement of the grab section between its resting position and its opening position is also moved between a resting position and an opening position, wherein the grab section is biased into its resting position and wherein the grab section or the actuating lever can be coupled with a lock of the door such that the lock is opened when the grab section is moved from its resting position into its opening position, further comprising a fly weight which is moveably mounted between a releasing position in which it allows a movement of the grab section into its opening position and at least one locking position in which it effects a locking of the grab section against a movement into its opening position, wherein the fly weight is biased into the releasing position and wherein the fly weight is moved into the locking position when a predefined acceleration acts on the door handle assembly which effects an opening force onto the grab section, wherein the fly weight is a metal ball, wherein a bearing section is provided with a pathway receiving the metal ball, wherein the metal ball is moveable along the pathway between the releasing position and the at least one locking position, and wherein the metal ball in the locking position cooperates directly or via a locking element with the grab section or the actuating lever for locking the grab section.
