20090026821 | Motor Vehicle Seat Comprising Adjustable Lateral Cheeks - A motor vehicle seat includes adjustable lateral cheeks on the seat part and/or on the backrest. The length and the orientation of the lateral cheeks in relation to the central seat area and/or backrest area can be modified by adjusting the lateral cheeks in a combined manner, especially with the aid of a combined linear and rotational guide in order to create a controlled track movement. | 01-29-2009 |
20090134680 | MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT BACK STRUCTURE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE SEAT - 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. | 05-28-2009 |
20090200847 | MANUEL ADJUSTMENT OF A BACK SUPPORT ON A VEHICLE - A manual adjustment of a back support on a vehicle seat includes comprising a cable pulley which is selectively rotatable in a drive direction or in a driven direction oriented counter to the drive direction, and a tensile device associated with the cable pulley, which may be rolled up onto the cable pulley by rotating the cable pulley in the drive direction. The tensile device is able to be coupled to a back support of a vehicle seat such that the rotation of the cable pulley in the drive direction and/or driven direction affects an adjustment of the back support. A pretensioning acts on the cable pulley—which produces a torque of the cable pulley in the driven direction. | 08-13-2009 |
20090236889 | Support with a backrest adjuster device for a motor vehicle seat - A support with a lumbar adjuster device for a motor vehicle seat includes a front side which, in the installed position, faces a seat user's back and a lumbar adjuster device which is arranged on the front side of the support and is intended for setting the position of the lumbar support perpendicular to the plane of extent of the backrest frame. The lumbar adjuster device has at least one adjuster element to be brought into operative connection with the lumbar support, and at least one slide which is movable with respect to the adjuster element. The slide can be moved, firstly, along a tensioning direction along which it is pretensioned, and, secondly, along a drawing direction along which a drawing force can be transmitted to the slide via a drawing means coupled to the slide. | 09-24-2009 |
20100192328 | LOCKING DEVICE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE FOR SECURING A DISPLACEABLE MOTOR VEHICLE COMPONENT - 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. | 08-05-2010 |
20110094370 | SYNTHETIC FIBER ROPE WITH COUPLING ELEMENT - A synthetic fiber rope with coupling element for transmitting an adjustment force to an adjustable part to be connected to the rope via the coupling element is provided. The coupling element is attached to the rope as an element separate from the rope. The coupling element at least partly engages in the interior of the rope and there engages behind rope components made of synthetic fibers, wherein the coupling element completely reaches through the rope transverse to its local direction of extension and protrudes beyond the outer surface of the rope. A base of the coupling element resting against the outer surface of the rope and extending along a portion of the outer surface of the rope. A succeeding component is attached to the coupling element in that it is press-fitted with the coupling element, such that material of the succeeding component is deformed and rope components being compacted in the region of the coupling element. | 04-28-2011 |
20140230586 | SPINDLE DRIVE FOR THE MOTORIZED ADJUSTMENT OF AN ADJUSTING ELEMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - The invention concerns a spindle drive for the motorized adjustment of an adjusting element of a vehicle, comprising a drive motor with a motor shaft, a speed reduction gear mechanism, and a feed gear mechanism, the speed reduction gear mechanism having a planetary gear mechanism and the feed gear mechanism being designed as a spindle/spindle nut gear mechanism, the planetary gear mechanism having a rotatable sun gear and coaxially in relation thereto a rotatable planet-gear carrier and a fixed or fixable ring gear, and the planet-gear carrier carrying at least one rotatable planet gear, which is in axially parallel engagement with the sun gear on the one hand and the ring gear on the other hand, the drive motor, the speed reduction gear mechanism and the feed gear mechanism being accommodated one behind the other in a substantially elongate drive housing and aligned with a common longitudinal drive axis. | 08-21-2014 |
20140232225 | DRIVE ARRANGEMENT FOR AN ADJUSTING ELEMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - The invention relates to a drive arrangement for an adjusting element of a motor vehicle, a clutch arrangement which is connected into the drive train with a drive connection and a driven connection, the clutch arrangement at any rate forwarding a movement which is introduced on the drive side to the driven connection and having a braking arrangement for braking a movement which is introduced on the output side. The braking arrangement has a braking element which can be adjusted counter to a braking force, in that, between the output connection and the braking element, the clutch arrangement has a freewheel arrangement comprising at least one freewheel pair of clamping body freewheels which operate in opposite directions, in that a movement which is introduced on the output side always brings about the blocking of at least one clamping body freewheel and is correspondingly braked via the braking arrangement. | 08-21-2014 |
20150069869 | DRIVE DEVICE FOR A HATCH OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - The invention relates to a drive device for a hatch of a motor vehicle, wherein the drive device comprises two drive sections that are linearly moveable relative to each other between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the drive sections are spring biased against each other into the extended position by a spring arrangement, wherein an end stop is provided to limit the drive motion between the drive sections to the extended position. It is proposed that the end stop comprises a damping arrangement with a deformation zone, wherein during a drive motion into the end stop, depending on the speed of the drive motion, the damping arrangement damps the drive motion mainly based on plastic deformation of the deformation zone. | 03-12-2015 |
