Abstract: A plastic slip clutch for an adjustable drive in an automobile with a hub (3) which exhibits an inner profile (4), and a shaft (1) which exhibits an outer profile (2), where for the purpose of transmitting torque the shaft with the outer profile is introduced into the inner profile of the hub in form-fitting and force-fitting fashion, and where the inner profile (4) of the hub (3) exhibits plastic elements (5) for the transmission of force, such that the plastic elements (5) become elastically deformed under the effect of a force exceeding a given threshold force and thereby permit the outer profile (2) of the shaft (1) to slip through inside of the hub (3).
Abstract: A vehicle seat section adjusting device includes a seat section adjusting element for adjusting the width of a seat section. The adjusting device includes a mounting mechanism for movably supporting the seat section adjusting element on the seat, and a drivable adjusting mechanism for adjusting the seat section adjusting element from or to a rest position relative to the mounting mechanism.
