Abstract:
A bumper for motor vehicles, especially passenger vehicles which is automatically displaceable in the vehicle longitudinal direction under impact action; the bumper consists of a center portion of high rigidity which is supported under interposition of conventional shock-damping or shock-absorbing means at form rigid body parts such as vehicle longitudinal bearers while two laterally extending portions adjoining the center portion and guided by the latter are pivotally mounted at a fixed vehicle part.
Abstract:
A locking mechanism for window lifters actuated by an auxiliary force, particularly in motor vehicles with a load connected to a vacuum source, in which the initiation of the actuation of the window lifter is realized by a control valve that is selectively put into its through-position or closing position by the vacuum, depending on certain measures necessary for driving the vehicle or by the sequence of operation which takes place when stopping the motor vehicle.
Abstract:
A STEERING SYSTEM FOR MOTOR VEHICLES WHICH OPERATES WITH AN AUXILIARY FORCE ASSIST AND IN WHICH FLEXIBLE MECHANICAL CONNECTING ELKEMENTS ARE USED FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF THE STEERING WHEEL MOVEMENTS, ONE SUCH FLEXIBLE CONNECTING ELEMENT IS PROVIDED FOR EACH ACTUATION DIREC-
TION OF THE STEERING SYSTEM AND IS SO DESIGNED THAT THE FORCE NECESSARY FOR THE STEERING CAN ALSO BE TRANSMITTED THEREBY IN CASE OF FAILURE OF THE AUXILIARY FORCE.
Abstract:
A pneumatically operating control system for the automatic alignment of motor vehicle headlights which consists of control members coordinated to one or both axles of the vehicle which cause alignment of the headlights to a constant light distance as a function of the change of the distance of the respective axle to the body of the vehicle by way of adjusting motors and a control shifting device; the control system is thereby fed with a vacuum and the control members are constructed as pressure modulators; an automatically operating valve is thereby arranged in each line or line system leading to the adjusting motors which during strong braking and acceleration eliminates the throttling action in the line or line system and leads to an immediate compensation of the change in angular value between the optical axis of the headlights and the road.
Abstract:
A safety belt system which includes a belt wind-up roller device equipped with a spring-loaded shaft for use in vehicles, especially in motor vehicles, in which the spring-loaded shaft is coupled with a servo-drive; the servo-drive, in turn, is controlled by a switching member and forces the attached safety belt against the body of the user under a substantially constant prestress still tolerable by the user in all seating positions.
Abstract:
A WINDSHIELD WIPER, PARTICULARLY FOR MOTOR VEHICLES, IN WHICH AN ELASTIC WIPER BLADE IS ADAPTED TO BE CONNECTED WITH A FIRST ELEMENT WHICH IN TURN IS CONNECTED WITH A SECOND ELEMENT, THE TWO ELEMENTS POSSESS THE PROPERTIES OF BENDING SPRINGS AND, WITH THE WIPER BLADE NOT RESTING ON THE WINSHIELD ARE SUCH THAT THE ELEMENT CONNECTED WITH WIPER BLADE HAS AN APPROXIMATELY SSHAPED CONFIGURATION WHILE THE OUTER ELEMENT IS CURVED OUTWARDLY.
Abstract:
AN ARRANGEMENT FOR SECURING THE LOCKED POSITION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE DOOR-LOCK WHICH INCLUDES A LOCKING ROD THAT IS CONNECTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR WITH A BELLCRANK, ITSELF CONNECTED WITH THE DOOR-LOCK MECHANISM? THE LOCKING ROD PROJECTS WITH ITS ACTUATING KNOB THROUGH AN APERTURE PROVIDED IN THE LOWER WINDOW FRAME AND IS ADAPTED TO BE DISPLACED INTO THE LOCKING POSITION BY PRESSURE IN THE AXIAL DIRECTION? IN THE PRESSURE (PUSH-IN) DIRECTION THE LOCKING ROD IF YIELDINGLY ARRANGED WITH RE-
SPECT TO THE BELLCRANK BY WAY OF A PRE-STRESSED SPRING BUT IS RIGIDLY ARRANGED WITH RESPECT TO BELLCRANK IN THE RETURN (PULLING) DIRECTION.
Abstract:
A pneumatically operated control installation for the automatic alignment of motor vehicle headlights which consists of pressure modulators coordinated to the two axles of the motor vehicle which align the motor vehicle headlights to a constant light distance as a function of the change of the distance of the respective axle with respect to the body of the motor vehicle; a control element, a control shifting device and a working element are interconnected between the pressure modulators and the headlights which are arranged, one behind the other in a structural unit consisting of a single housing that is closed off on both sides by means of covers.
Abstract:
A heating and ventilating installation for a motor vehicle, with a blower consisting of an electric motor and a fan wheel, which can be selectively turned on and off by means of a manually actuatable switch; an additional switch is thereby provided in series with the manually actuatable switch, which at low driving velocities or during standstill of the vehicle turns off the engaged blower and with increasing velocity or when overcoming the standstill, again turns on the blower.
Abstract:
An installation for indicating the closing condition of vehicle doors, especially of motor vehicle doors, in which lines are provided that are connected to a vacuum source and terminate within the area of the doors; the lines are in communication with the atmosphere in case a door is not completely closed but are closed with respect to the atmosphere in case all doors are completely closed; a warning device is provided which in turn is actuated by the pressure in the lines.
