  • Patent number: 11479995
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fastening device for fastening a first component to a second component, where the fastening device includes a spacer element which is configured for positioning the first component so as to be spaced apart from the second component in a first axis (Y) and for fixing the first component so as to be spaced apart from the second component, where the spacer element includes a stop surface which is used for supporting the fastening device on the second component, where the spacer element is integrally-formed, and a tolerance element which is configured for movably receiving the spacer element in the first direction (Y) and for compensating tolerances between the first component and the second component in a second axis (X) and in a third axis (Z), where the tolerance element is integrally-formed.

  • Patent number: 10876328
    Abstract: A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle includes a handle carrier mounted on the vehicle and a grip part rotatably mounted on the handle carrier. The grip part opens a door or flap of the motor vehicle. A coupling device is rotatably mounted on the handle carrier for transmitting an actuation of the grip part to a locking arrangement on the vehicle. A joint element pivotably interconnects the coupling device and the grip part. The joint element movably supports an actuating member which is moved by rotation translationally between mounting and operating positions. In the operating position, the actuating member is pivotably mounted on the coupling device and is in engagement with the grip part. In the mounting position, the actuating member bears against a blocking surface of the coupling device that blocks rotation of the actuating member and is out of engagement with the grip part.

  • Patent number: 9745774
    Abstract: A lock cylinder includes a housing, in which a sleeve having a cylinder core accommodated therein is rotatably supported. The cylinder core has spring-loaded tumblers forming a form closure with recesses arranged in the sleeve when a key engaging the tumblers is removed. Inside the housing, the sleeve is coupled to a coupling element by means of a disengaging sleeve. The coupling element is supported inside the housing and connected to a bearing in a rotationally-fixed manner. The bearing supports an output element. At least one of the sleeve and the coupling element forms a form closure with the bearing to block the rotation of the output element if an improper object is used in operative connection with the cylinder core.

  • Patent number: 9650806
    Abstract: A door handle assembly for a motor vehicle has a handle mount, a handle and a coupling device, wherein the handle is coupled to the coupling device in the region of its second handle end which provides a door handle assembly in a structurally simple manner, in which the play in the longitudinal direction of the handle mount, and thus the clearance in the opening in the door panel for the handle ends, is reduced to a minimum. This is achieved in that the second handle end of the handle and a deflection lever of the mechanical coupling device are moveably coupled to one another by a pivotable and hinge-like articulated connection of the second handle end in relation to the deflection lever, when the handle has been actuated.

  • Patent number: 6834901
    Abstract: A handle fitting for a vehicle door has a support attached to the inner side of the door. A turret member provided on the support projects with a turret end inwardly and a slide secures the turret end on the support. A screw is arranged in the slide and moves the slide between mounting and locking positions. In the mounting position the turret member is inserted into the support; in the looking position the turret member is secured on the support. The inner screw end is located outside of a turret member recess in the mounting position. When the screw moves the slide into the locking position, a stop of the screw is supported on the support. In the locking position, the recess receives the inner end of the screw so that the screw acts as a locking bar moved into the turret member.
