Abstract: A method for producing an adjusting device for a vehicle seat has the following steps. A flexible hollow body is molded from a thermoplastic plastic by injection molding, wherein the hollow body forms a pressure medium chamber and has an opening which is surrounded by a connecting portion. Furthermore, a first film is arranged at the opening. In particular, a pressure medium line is inserted between the connecting portion or the opening and the first film. Finally, the first film is connected to the hollow body at the connecting portion of the opening at the connecting seam in order to thereby close off the pressure medium chamber. Because the flexible hollow body is formed in one step, in particular by an injection molding process, the manufacturing complexity is minimized and the robustness of the hollow body is increased.

Abstract: A method for preforming a textile semi-finished product, including arranging a textile having at least two layers of fibers, interwoven fibers and/or fiber bundles that are at least in part arranged on top of each other. The method also includes; fixing-in-position of the fibers of the textile against each other and then cutting-to-size of the textile.

Abstract: A force sensing device has a single-component metal housing. The housing has an upper rigid housing part and a lower rigid housing part that are interconnected by way of U-shaped spring elements and can be elastically displaced along a displacement axis in relation to each other by the action of a force. The spring elements are symmetrically arranged in relation to a section that is parallel to the displacement axis. A deflection sensor is disposed between the upper and lower rigid housing parts, for detecting the relative displacement of the two rigid housing parts in relation to each other. The housing is produced using metal injection molding technology.

Abstract: In a process for depositing large dry textile fiber webs on a component shape, a rolled up textile fiber web is deposited fully automatically, by means of robots. A robot-carrier cloth gripper grips the end of the textile fiber web to be deposited, and places it on the component shape. The web is then unwound from the roll by a robot-carried cloth unwinding stand, and is deposited on the component shape. During the depositing, the textile fiber web is draped by means of robot-carried heated sliding metal sheets or robot-carried movably disposed heated rollers. The depositing operation is continuously monitored and automatically readjusted to maintain a constant depositing rate. Alignment of the textile fiber web relative to the component shape is also monitored continuously by optical devices, and is readjusted as required.

Abstract: A force sensing device has a monolithic metal housing with a rigid upper housing part and a rigid lower housing part, which are interconnected via U-shaped spring elements while being movable in a springy manner towards each other along an axis of movement when a force is applied thereto. The spring elements are disposed symmetrically to one another relative to a cross-sectional area that runs parallel to the axis of movement. A deflection sensor is disposed between the upper and lower rigid housing parts for detecting their movement relative to one another. The unitary housing is produced in metal injection molding (MIM) technology.
