Abstract:
A device for the automatic incremental cable length compensation of a Bowden cable system having a housing side and a Bowden tube side. The device includes a cable having a pulling axis, a part on the housing side including a number of detent elements axially arranged in a direction of the pulling axis, and a part on the Bowden tube side with two spaced apart stops axially aligned in the direction of the pulling axis and displaceable relative to the part on the housing side. The cable extends through both the part on the housing side and the part on the Bowden tube side. A spring is positioned between the part on the housing side and the part on the Bowden tube side for tensioning the cable. A locking element is displaceably mounted between the two axially aligned spaced stops in the part on the Bowden tube side so that a cable length compensating detent movement can only take place after overcoming a predetermined setting distance. The locking element includes at least one detent element directed radially outward from the pulling axis and being shaped to engage any of the detent elements on the part on the housing side.
Abstract:
A device for the automatic, stepped cable length compensation of a Bowden cable system in which a spring-tensioned cable is guided. The spring is supported between a part on the housing side and a part on the Bowden tube side displaceable relative thereto and having several detent elements resiliently pretensioned in the direction of the sleeve face of the part on the Bowden tube side. During displacement of the part on the Bowden tube side the detent elements engage in succession in front of the end face of this part so that a resetting movement of the part on the Bowden tube side is prevented. Each detent element is allocated a pair of stops between which the detent, element is mounted for restricted axial displacement. In another embodiment, at least a pair of spaced stops correspond with an intermediate part mounted between the part on the housing side and the part on the Bowden tube side which is displaceable a restricted amount so that a cable length compensating detent process can only take place after overcoming a predetermined setting movement between the part on the housing side and the part on the Bowden tube side. The parts which can be displaced a restricted amount are detent elements which have an axial spacing relative to each other. The pair of spaced stops is a constituent part of the part on the Bowden tube side between which engages a keyed locking element of the intermediate part.
Abstract:
The cross-country ski binding has a plate which is arranged on the upper surface of the ski and is pivotable about a vertical axis located in the ball region of a boot. The plate is held in the central position by means of a latch device which releases to permit rotation of the plate relative to the ski on the occurrence of impermissibly high turning moments relative to the vertical axis and thus relative to the ball region.
Abstract:
The ski binding part consists essentially of a fulcrum part (1) which is affixed to the ski or displaceable thereon against a biasing spring (5) and on which a latch (2) is fulcrumed on a transverse axis (3) of the ski for the purpose of gripping the heel of the ski boot. On the side of the fulcrum (1) facing away from the boot, a thrust block (10) is displaceably guided on or in the latch and cooperates with a counterthrust member (13) integral with the latch. The longitudinal central axis (M) of the thrust block is disposed at a radial distance (a) below the fulcrum axis (3).
Abstract:
A ski safety binding is designed to allow both a dangerous bending moment exerted about a transverse axis 15 through the weakest point of a skier's leg and a torsional moment exerted about a vertical axis 24 through the skier's leg to be detected and to be used to initiate release of the ski boot 54 from the binding when the bending and/or torsional loads approach dangerous levels. The binding basically consists of a sole plate 11 which carries a boot retaining system 56, 57 and which is mounted on a ski 12 for limited displacement in the longitudinal direction of the ski and for limited pivotal movements about a transverse axis 17 and a vertical axis 24. The sole plate is guided at its rear end for limited movement along an inclined guide 18 and along a transverse guide 21. This movement is resisted by respective hydraulic retaining means 28, 28'; 29, 29' which are however able to resiliently deflect once a predetermined load is exceeded. Movement of the sole plate in the direction of the guides 21, 28 trips a release lever 19 which releases the boot securing system. A mechanical retaining system is also described.
Abstract:
A locking device for securing a motor vehicle component which is displaceable relative to a motor vehicle structure and which may be secured by means of the locking device within a displacement range in a respective position of rest reached by displacement is provided. The locking device comprising at least one first frictional element and at least one second frictional element, which is moved relative to the first frictional element upon displacement of the motor vehicle component and thereby may slide with a friction surface along a friction surface of the first frictional element under sliding friction conditions and which, in a respective position of rest of the motor vehicle component, with its friction surface bears against the friction surface of the second frictional element under static friction conditions. A flowable additional medium is provided which may be brought, upon a relative movement of the frictional elements, between their friction surfaces.
Abstract:
A drive device with override function for a moving device in motor vehicles includes a drive element, an output element with a rotationally symmetrical surface connected to the moving device, and a connecting device, which under a drive-side load transmits a drive torque to the output element and in the absence of the drive-side load releases the output element. The drive device further includes a carrier wrap spring, which is operatively connected to the drive element and can be brought into engagement with the rotationally symmetrical surface of the output element, together with a control element, which under a drive-side load braces the carrier wrap spring with the rotationally symmetrical surface of the output element and in the absence of the drive-side load releases the bracing of the carrier element with the rotationally symmetrical surface of the output element.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an adjustment fitting for a vehicle seat. The adjustment fitting includes a first fitting part and a second fitting part connected by a wobble mechanism. The wobble mechanism includes a central wheel that is rotatable about a central axis and is connected to the first fitting part. A revolving wheel is arranged in the interior of the central wheel eccentrically with respect to the central axis and is connected to the second fitting part. The central wheel and the revolving wheel form, with respect to each other, an eccentric receiving space in which a first eccentric and a second eccentric are arranged rotatably in relation to each other. The revolving wheel engages in a play-free manner in the central wheel and with a transmission element that is rotatable about the central axis.
