Patent number: 11981545Abstract: A cable guide apparatus has an oscillating link rotatable about an axis and a cable guide for the line cable. The line cable is fed from and into a reservoir based on the distance between the reservoir and the feed device and is guided by the cable guide. A simplified automatic connection of a line cable to a feed device is achieved and provides protective guidance and storage of the line cable by a cable guide apparatus in which the oscillating link can be moved linearly relative to the oscillation axis. A power supply system includes this cable guide apparatus. The related method comprises: a) retracting a connecting element, which is arranged on the line cable, into the cable guide apparatus and before, at the same time or afterwards b) moving the oscillating link from an extended to a retracted position relative to the oscillation axis in a linear manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Conductix-Wampfler GmbHInventors: Bernd Maier, Dietmar Lang, Martin Nöltner, Frank Kreiter

Patent number: 7054729Abstract: Method for determining geometric data for parking processes of vehicles, wherein the lateral distance between the vehicle and a curb is measured several times successively by means of a distance sensor attached to the vehicle as the vehicle is driven by the parking space. The angle of the longitudinal axis of a vehicle and the curb is ascertained by determining a sideways movement angle between the present longitudinal direction of the vehicle and a preset longitudinal direction, which angle results from the sideways movement of the vehicle as it is driven along, by determining a curb angle between the preset longitudinal direction and the curb, which angle results from the course of the curb contour, and by determining the angle between the present longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the curb by adding the angle of sideways movement and the curb angle.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2005Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Dietmar Maier, Frank Gensler, Helmut Spannheimer, Harald Graef, Alfred Pruckner, Karl-Heinz Meitinger

Patent number: 6819284Abstract: A system is provided for assisting with parking of motor vehicles in parking spaces, having at least one transmitter, arranged on the exterior side of the vehicle for transmitting a signal emitted at least approximately perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and limited to a small emission angle range, and an assigned receiver for the reflected signal. The transmitted signal is formed of two partial beams having approximately flat surface area emission characteristics, the two areas being situated at least approximately perpendicular with respect to one another.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2002Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Dietmar Maier, Frank Gensler
