Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Antrieb (2) zum automatischen Betätigen von Fahrzeugtüren oder Fahrzeugklappen mit einer ersten, einen Motor (6) enthaltenden Antriebseinheit (4) und mindestens einer zweiten, mit der ersten Antriebseinheit (4) über eine Welle (11) verbundenen Antriebseinheit. Um zu erreichen, daß der Antrieb (2) optimal an die räumlichen Gegebenheiten der Fahrzeugkontur anpaßbar ist, schlägt die Erfindung vor, die zwei Antriebseinheiten (4,5 ) des entsprechenden Antriebes (2) über eine flexible Welle (11) drehfest miteinander zu verbinden.
Abstract:
A safety device is enclosed which incorporates a releasable connection between a first component and a second component. The first component carries a housing defining a chamber (35) receiving a piston (36). The piston (36) has a piston head (37) and a piston rod (38), an end part of which emerges from the chamber (35). The second component defines an aperture (9) which receives the end part of the piston rod (38). A gas generator unit (46) is provided to supply gas to the piston (36). A gas flow duct extends from the gas generator unit (46) to the face of the piston head (36) remote from the gas generator unit (46). The safety device is configured such that upon actuation of the gas generator unit (46), the piston (36) moves towards the end of the chamber (35) remote from the piston rod (38), so as to withdraw the end part of the piston rod (38) from the aperture (9).
Abstract:
A torsion bar hood assist system (10) for a vehicle (15) which has a hood (14) that pivots between an open and a closed position. The hood assist system (10) includes a compact torsion mechanism (11) with at least two torsion bar sections (12). The torsion mechanism (11) of the hood assist system (10) is mounted distant from a pivot axis (17) of the hood (14). The torsion mechanism (11) is engaged to the vehicle (15) in a manner which allows the torsion mechanism (11) to be mounted distant from the hood pivot axis (17) and reduces the stresses imparted to the torsion mechanism (11) when the hood is pivoted.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a front hood assembly according to which the front hood (1) of a motor vehicle is hinged to the chassis of the motor vehicle via at least hinge (4), said front hood (1) being lockable via at least one hood lock (3). The at least one hinge is configured as a deformable structure and tensioning means are provided that overcome the vertical resistance to a force that acts upon the front hood. The aim of the invention is to provide a protection for pedestrians that is technically feasible and can be implemented at low costs. To this end, a connecting rod (7) that connects a joint of the hinge (4) with the chassis is mounted such that it can be displaced.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a pivotingly accommodated component which moves automatically when acted upon by a regulating force (15), but in such a way that is both braked and damped, and thus moves with reduced speed and momentum. To this end, the hinge accommodating the component is fitted with a pivoting brake (12) whose brake force, applied along the pivoting path, is less than the regulating force (15), and is adapted to the course of the regulating force (15) along said pivoting path. In selected areas, the brake force (16) of the pivoting brake (12) can be greater than the regulating force (15) in order to hold the component in these areas. The braking work effected by the pivoting brake (12) is advantageously calculated so as to absorb 20 % to 25 % of the regulating work effected by the positioning force.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scharnier (10) für eine Fahrzeugklappe, mit einem klappenseitig angeordneten Scharnieroberteil (12) und einem karosserieseitig angeordneten Scharnierunterteil (14), welche über einen ersten Kinematikhebel (20) und einen zweiten Kinematikhebel (60) miteinander verbunden sind. Erfindungsgemäß gibt eine erste Verriegelungsvorrichtung (40) in einer Arbeitsstellung eine Drehbewegung des zweiten Kinematikhebels (20) frei und sperrt in einer Fußgängerschutzstellung die Drehbewegung des zweiten Kinematikhebels (20), wobei die erste Verriegelungsvorrichtung (40) über einen Verbindungshebel (30) mit einem Ver- und/oder Entriegelungshebel (50) gekoppelt ist, wobei der Ver- und/oder Entriegelungshebel (50) in einer Unfallsituation über den Verbindungshebel (30) die erste Verriegelungsvorrichtung (40) von der Arbeitsstellung in die Fußgängerschutzstellung überführt.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pull rod system (1), which is provided on the trunk lid (B) to enable all vehicle users to easily close the trunk lid (B), and basically comprises at least one pulling belt (3) which enables the pull rod (2) to be elongated when the trunk lid (B) is opened and to be drawn inside the trunk lid (B) when the trunk lid (B) is closed, at least one first pulley (4) on which the pulling belt (3) is wound and which controls the length of the pulling belt (3).

L'invention concerne un système d'ouverture / fermeture (10a, 10b) d'un capot de véhicule comprenant un élément (11a, 11b) de manœuvre manuelle, notamment mobile en rotation qui est apte à commander la mise en place du capot sur la caisse du véhicule, le système comprenant un mécanisme de verrouillage / déverrouillage (37a, 37b) dudit élément (11a, 11b) de manœuvre manuelle.
Abstract:
A bushing has a body with a cylindrical shape, an axis, and a plurality of dimples formed in the body extending in a radial direction with respect to the axis. The body is electrically conductive. A sliding layer that is electrically non-conductive is formed on at least a portion of the body. A coating that is electrically non-conductive is formed on at least a portion of the body. The bushing has an uninstalled configuration where the bushing is electrically non-conductive, and an installed configuration where the bushing is electrically conductive.
