  • Patent number: 9132788
    Abstract: The invention relates to a display device in a motor vehicle, comprising an adjustable screen and adjustment kinematics associated with the screen. The adjustment kinematics comprise an adjustment drive having a drive motor for the screen, the screen being adjustable between a parking position and a functional position by means of the adjustment drive. The adjustment drive has a driver and is drive-coupled to the screen via the driver, a displacement guide being provided and the drive being guided by means of the displacement guide. The invention is characterized in that the adjustment drive and the displacement guide form a pre-assembled structural unit which as such can be coupled to the rest of the adjustment kinematics during final assembly.

  • Patent number: 8375691
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8232694
    Abstract: A drive unit in particular for an actuating element of a motor vehicle, is described, which has a gear mechanism unit, a drive motor and a contacting unit, with the gear mechanism unit encompassing a first interface for a detachable attachment of the drive motor and a second interface for the detachable attachment of the contacting unit, and with the drive motor being energized by the contacting unit in the mounted condition. The interfaces of the gear mechanism unit are designed to energize the drive motor through the contacting unit, and a rotary sensor that can contact the contacting unit and can detect the rotation of a gear mechanism rotating element (for example 6) is provided. Such a drive unit is very flexible with regard to the applicable control- and/or regulating electronic system.
