Abstract:
A motor vehicle seat back structure comprising a backrest support frame which consists of a surface turned towards the seat user's back, a lordosis support which is arranged on the front part of the backrest support frame for supporting the user's back and an adjusting device for vertically adjusting the lordosis support position with respect to the extension plane of said backrest support frame. The adjusting device comprises at least one adjusting element operably connected to the lordosis support and at least one sliding element which is displaceable with respect to said adjusting element and interacts therewith in such a way that when the sliding element moves, the adjusting element is displaced with a directional component perpendicularly to the displacement direction of the sliding element and performs an action on said lordosis support in the direction.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an adjustment device for producing a rotational movement that comprises an output element (3) that can be adjusted at an angle by actuating a drive element (2). The adjustment device further comprises a load moment lock (1) interposed between the drive and the output element (2, 3) that frictionally blocks a rotational movement initiated at the output element side and that transmits a rotational movement initiated at the drive element side to the output element (3). Said load moment lock (1) further comprises locking elements (4, 4′) that are disposed in a cylindrical adjustment housing (10). Upon the effect of a play-compensating device (5) that is at least partially interposed between opposite adjusting surfaces (41, 41′) of the locking elements (4, 4′) and that compensates the rotational angle play between the drive element (2), the output element (3) and the load moment lock (1), the clamping surfaces (43, 43′, 43″, 43′″) are forced apart with such a force that they rest against the adjustment housing (10) with a predetermined pre-load. The adjustment device is provided with a play-compensating device (5) that for both directions of rotation radially.
Abstract:
A two-directional manual drive which produces a rotational movement, starting from the neutral position of a drive lever which can pivot around a drive axis whereby the rotational movement can occur in a selective manner in one of two rotational directions, includes a driven element having a driving surface, on which bearing surfaces of coupling elements are placed in frictional engagement when the drive lever is rotated out of a neutral position, displacing the driven element in the direction of the periphery. When the drive lever is returned to the neutral position the coupling elements are released from a position of frictional engagement with respect to the cylindrical driving surface so that the driven element is no longer displaced.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a Bowden tube window winder with compensation for cable length, which also compensates using simple means for a comparatively high level of cable elongation without excessive twisting of the cable loop. Said Bowden tube window winder is characterised in that a common locking member (10) is associated with the cable sockets and links the force of the two cable sockets (110) with the result that a movement to compensate for play of at least one cable socket can only occur when both cable sockets are substantially unloaded.
Abstract:
A drive unit with an electric motor (2) for operating a plurality of adjusting devices and axially displaceable coupling elements, in particular for two adjusting devices for a vehicle seat. An electric motor (2) has a motor shaft (20) consisting of a hollow shaft (21) and an axially displaceable interior shaft (22) received therein in a manner fixed against relative rotation which can be connected on both sides, which can be selectively connected in a manner fixed against relative rotation with associated coupling elements (41, 42) of the adjusting devices by coupling elements (23', 24') on the motor side.
Abstract:
A door closer is described in which transmission characteristics which change in dependence on the closing angle can be realized either by two pistons disposed coaxially within one another and displaceable relative to one another, or by eccentric toothed elements.
Abstract:
A door holding device for door closers is described in which a door is held only at a predetermined angle of opening and in which the selected holding position can remain unchanged over a long period of time but can nevertheless be released by electrical means. For this purpose the switching of the door is effected, starting from a known mechanical door holding device which can be switched in and switched out, via a control unit which is biased into a door holding position by the hydraulic pressure which is in any event present in the closer and which can be released again via a magnetic valve.
Abstract:
A ski safety binding has a sole clamp 14, preferably formed as two sole clamp halves 14', 14", which is pressed by spring force against first and second abutment surfaces 12 provided on the binding housing 24 on respective sides of the central longitudinal axis 11. The first and second abutment surfaces 12 extend, at least in part, obliquely outwardly in the direction towards the ski boot in such a way that, during sideways release, the sole clamp 14 pivots about one or other of its points of contact 13 with the first and second abutment surfaces 12 and the associated point of contact 13 moves in the longitudinal direction of the ski in substantially exactly the same way as the vertical pivot axle 15 connecting the sole clamp to the release spring and draw rod assembly 31, 29 (FIG. 2). This means that the draw rod moves in a straight line without angular movement as in the prior art.
