Abstract:
In a switch, for example, for a device such as a drill, a key switches an ectrical switching bridge at the beginning of the key displacement. A variable resistor is adjusted depending on the travel of the key, thereby controlling device speed. In order to achieve an adjustment of the key end stop, a slide displaceable in the transverse direction is mounted on the key, which slide has a stop edge projecting in the longitudinal direction. A stop border is provided on the switch cover and configured relative to the travel of the slide so that the distance between the stop edge and the stop border varies according to the displaced position of the slide, thereby enabling operator control of the device speed.
Abstract:
A locking slide switch is adapted to set a resistor depending on the lengthf travel. A key body has a row of teeth with which a pinion meshes. A locking push-button is provided on the shaft of the pinion. In order to make locking from both sides possible, a second pinion or an elongated pinion is guided in the row of teeth. On this pinion is provided a second push-button, which can also be blocked. An on-off switch is additionally provided.
Abstract:
A dual clutch transmission having radially nested clutches includes an outer clutch having a plurality of first outer clutch disks, a plurality of first inner clutch disks, and a first inner support carrier, with the first inner clutch disks operatively mounted to the first inner carrier. The transmission further includes an inner clutch having a plurality of second outer clutch disks, a plurality of second inner clutch disks, and a second inner support carrier is included. The second inner clutch disks are operatively mounted to the second inner carrier. A common disk carrier having a first outer clutch disk carrier operatively supports the first outer clutch disks of the outer clutch and a second outer clutch disk carrier that operatively supports the second outer clutch disks of the inner clutch.
Abstract:
A control element for control functions within a passenger area of a vehicle having several turning knobs whose positions are indicated by an illumination display, includes an LED (Light Emitting Device) and a light-guide coupled directly with the LED and having a light-exit surface that is coupled with a light-entry surface leading to at least one turning knob, a light-conducting plate (7) adjacent the light-guide, and a housing. The light guide (4) is connected with the turning knob (2) and has, on axial surfaces (8,9) at an outer rim (10), indexing bumps and indexing indentations (11, 12), respectively, that cooperate with retaining catches (13) of a retaining spring (14) that is pushed onto the light-conducting plate (7) within retaining ribs (15) and is locked between an edge of the light-conducting plate (16) and a housing rib (17) in the push-on
Abstract:
A keyboard has keys, or buttons, having guide projections which, when the keys are pushed from an operating side, are shoved along guide plates, with motion being restricted by a locator, the locator having two stops which restrict the motion of the keys between the two stops and with a switch being activated being ON and OFF by the key moving within these limits. This provides a very flat keyboard which is economical to manufacture.
Abstract:
A motor vehicle ventilation apparatus for providing ventilation by a fan (3), located within an air channel (1) of the apparatus, whose operation can be multiply, or step, adjusted by "switching in" performance resistors (8). The performance resistors (8) and a step switch (7) required for adjusting operation of the fan (3) are arranged on members forming the air channel (1), or are in the air channel, within an effective ventilating range of the fan (3).
Abstract:
An external door handle for a motor vehicle with a cleaning device for removing dirt and slush which accumulates on the handle when the vehicle is driven on slushy or muddy routes or when the vehicle is stationary.
Abstract:
An air outlet device including an air outlet channel having an open front and being located near an actuating part is provided with a plug base for a lamp behind the actuating part in a light-transmitting acceptance chamber. The lamp is to be replaceable from the front side without having to remove the actuating part toward the front. For this purpose the acceptance chamber is provided with a passage opening to the air outlet channel. The plug base is combined with a guide bead which, in the operating position, extends through the passage opening into the air outlet channel and ends at the front edge thereof as a handle. The plug base can be pulled through the air outlet channel and the passage opening out of the acceptance chamber and then be reintroduced into the latter.
Abstract:
A luminous band display device is shown for the thermometer scale-like diay of the position of a control, e.g., of a turning knob or slide, having a series of luminous segments arranged in a circular or straight pattern. The luminous segments are formed by the ends of light guides which are led out from a generally cylindrical luminous center in a star-shaped or similar pattern. The luminous center consists of a cylindrical socket receiving a light source, and a cover which carries at least one color band and which can be rotated relative to the socket by means of the control is located between the light source and the beginning of the light guide. The light guides are arranged over approximately three fourths of the circumference of the luminous center. In order for all luminous segments of the entire display scale to light in only one color even in the stop positions of the control, an outlet opening and a guide for the color bands projecting from the socket are provided.
Abstract:
A key switch comprises a casing, at least one key slide guided in the cas against the force of a spring and at least one J-shaped leaf spring having a long spring arm and a short spring arm connected to the long arm by a curved intermediate part, the leaf spring being clamped to assume a unilateral curvature between two abutments, one fixed and the other moveable, the leaf spring having the free end of its long spring arm supported in a first abutment in the key slide and its curved intermediate part in a second abutment formed in a fixed contact member provided in the casing. For providing a minimum space the leaf spring is mounted parallel to the sliding direction in an elongated recess of the key slide.
