  • Patent number: 10595423
    Abstract: An electronics housing is specified for electronics in a motor vehicle. The electronics housing has a first housing shell with a first base plate and a first side wall as well as a second housing shell with a second base plate and a second side wall. The first side wall is embodied here with double walls either completely or at least in one section, with the result that a groove-shaped wall intermediate space is formed between an outer partial wall and an inner partial wall of the first side wall. In an assembled state of the housing, the second side wall dips into this wall intermediate space.

  • Patent number: 9345151
    Abstract: The present invention among other things relates to a housing and a construction kit for a control apparatus, e.g. in the form of a controller for a window lifter of a motor vehicle. A controller module with a printed circuit board here is to be accommodated in a housing at least in part, and there are provided two different types of controller modules, e.g. for a right vehicle side on the one hand and for a left vehicle side on the other hand. According to a first aspect of the invention the housing is suitable for both types of controller modules, so that the housing can selectively be combined with the one or the other type of controller module, in order to mount a control apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7254880
    Abstract: During the positioning of a control device for controlling an electromechanical drive, contact elements, which are connected to the control device in a fixed manner, are positioned in relation to one or more openings in a connector collar. To position the control device, the latter is displaced into a predetermined position. The predetermined position is defined, for example, by a guide or a stop. The contact elements are a component of an electric and/or optical junction which connects the drive device to other functional units, for example to a door control device or a motor vehicle battery. To position the contact elements in the connector collar of a connecting element which lies on the side of the drive device in the junction, the contact elements are positioned in relation to openings in the connector collar by being displaced together with the control device into the predetermined position.

  • Patent number: 6917129
    Abstract: An electro-mechanical drive device for adjustment devices of a motor vehicle, more particularly for a window lifter, has a gearing with a gear housing, an electric motor mechanically connected to the gearing, a control device mounted in the gearing housing and having at least one power semi-conductor for controlling the electric motor, and means as a heat sink thermally coupled to the power semi-conductor to draw off the waste heat from the power semi-conductor. The means which as heat sink draws off the waste heat from the power semi-conductor is integrated in the gear housing. With the integration of the means for drawing off the waste heat into the gear housing it is possible for the means to undertake further mechanical or thermal functions extending beyond the function as heat sink.

  • Patent number: 6135302
    Abstract: The invention concerns a tamper-proof seal intended to show the intact st of a container seal of a closure cap which bulges over a container wall and a container aperture provided in the container wall and capable of being detachably joined to the closure cap. In the closed state, the peripheral border of the closure cap is close to or in contact with the container. The proposed seal consists of at least one indicator element (4) which in the closed state is located between the container wall and the closure cap; a first end of the indicator element (4) projects radially underneath the closure cap towards the central line of the container and has a retaining element with a branch (43) extending upwards transversely to the longitudinal axis of the indicator element (4), while a second end projects radially outwards.
