The lock retainer (10; 71) has an actuator (41; 72), wherein in a first position of the actuator (41; 72) and in the preliminary locking position of the rotary latch (4) the lock retainer (10; 71) engages with the rotary latch (4) and the bonnet (2) is locked and in a second position of the actuator (41; 72) the lock retainer (10; 71) is released by the rotary latch (4) and the bonnet (2) is unlocked.

Abstract: The invention relates to a securing device (1), which has a front hood (2) and a hood lock (3) with a lock holder (10), for a motor vehicle. The hood lock (3) has a rotary latch (4) with a pre-latching position and a main latching position in which the front hood (2) is closed and locked, an electric drive (5) which switches the rotary latch (4) from the main latching position into the pre-latching position, and a bayonet-type closure system (13) with a closed position, a release position, and an intermediate position. In the closed position, the rotary latch (4) is located in the main latching position; in the intermediate position, the rotary latch (4) is located in the pre-latching position and the lock holder (10) is engaged with the rotary latch (4); and in the release position, the lock holder (10) is released by the rotary latch (4) and the front hood (2) is unlocked.

Abstract: A washer system and a method are provided for purging the washer liquids contained within a washer system. A first reservoir 21 containing a freezable washer liquid 40, a second reservoir 23 containing a freeze-resistant washer liquid 48, and an exit circuit 28 are fluidically coupled to a fluid distribution circuit 26. A fluid purge apparatus 61 is also coupled to the fluid distribution circuit 26. An electronic control module (ECM) 20 is electrically coupled to the fluid distribution circuit 26, the fluid purge apparatus 61 and a temperature sensor 86. The ECM 20 controls the fluid purge apparatus 61 upon receiving a temperature signal from the temperature sensor 86. The fluid purging apparatus 61 purges freezable washer liquid 40 from a portion of the fluid distribution circuit 26, during temperatures at or below a predetermined temperature, to prevent the washer liquid from freezing within the fluid distribution circuit.

Abstract: A washer system and a method are provided for dispensing a freezable washer liquid 40 versus using a freeze-resistant washer liquid 48 depending on temperature. A first reservoir 21″ containing a freezable washer liquid is fluidically coupled to a first pump 188. A second reservoir 23″ containing a freeze-resistant washer liquid 48 is fluidically coupled to a second pump 192. The first pump 188 is fluidically coupled to a first port 196. The second pump 192 is fluidically coupled to a second port 204. The first pump 188 and the second pump 192 are electrically coupled to an electrical control circuit 205. The electrical control circuit 205 controls the first pump 188 and the second pump 192 upon measuring a temperature. The washer system uses the freezable washer liquid 40 in temperatures above a predetermined temperature and freeze-resistant washer liquid 48 in temperatures at or below a predetermined temperature.

Abstract: In an apparatus for detaching an article from a member attached thereto, the attached article and member are supported on a grid such that the member is in contact with a substantially rigid surface of the grid and the article is suspended away from the rigid surface. Holders hold the member to the rigid surface. While the member is held to the rigid surface, a punch detaches the article and the member. The member from which the article has been detached is gripped by a pin assembly and the gripped member is removed from the substantially rigid surface by raising the pin assembly.

Abstract: The present invention discloses and provides a dough preparation and dividing machine capable of receiving substantially spherical, filled encrusted dough balls and forming them, with a minimum of dough working, into flattened, "D"-shaped configurations to increase the output of a conventional encrusting and co-extruding device for filled, encrusted dough ball products.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling and applying formed flanged lids to a carton is disclosed. Inverted lids drop on an upper conveyor belt directly from a forming machine for travel in a first direction. The lids subsequently drop and flip to the desired upright position on a lower conveyor belt for movement toward a lidding station. To prevent over-flipping, the trailing edge is guided by a vertical guide plate. An idler belt is positioned downstream of the second conveyor belt and above the feed path. A lug on the idler belt engages the leading edge of the lid being transferred from the second conveyor belt. The lug holds the lid in proper alignment for driving forwardly by abutting engagement of the carton intersecting with the leading edge of the lid. The idler belt is carried by a pair of idler rollers. An adjustable brake on one of the rollers controls the drag on the belt to restrain the lid and assure positive lidding action on the carton.
