  • Patent number: 9821727
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly module on a mobile part (1) of a motor vehicle, especially on a tailgate (1), comprising a housing (10) having a camera (11) which serves to record images of the exterior surrounding a motor vehicle, an actuating element (13) for activating a mechanical lock (2) of the mobile part (1), and a mobile protective element (12) which can be displaced between a closed position (3) and an open position (4). In the open position (4), the actuating element (13) is freely accessible for the user and images can be recorded of the surrounding exterior (5). In the closed position (3), the protective element (12) covers the actuating element (13) and the camera (11) at the same time.

  • Patent number: 9299514
    Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical switch with a contact system arranged within a housing, which has fixed contact elements and a switch contact element, an operating device for switching action on the contact system, in which, via elastic deformation of the switch contact element, the switch contact element can be brought into a rest position and into a switching position, the fixed contact elements being galvanically separated from each other in the rest position contactless relative to each other and the fixed contact elements being electrically connected to each other in the switching position via the switch contact element, such that the switch contact element has a switching section and a fastening section, the fastening section being spaced from the switching section, the switching section serving for electrical connection of the fixed contact elements and the fastening section guaranteeing reliable fastening of the switch contact element in housing.

  • Patent number: 8809710
    Abstract: The invention relates to an actuation unit of a moving part (1) of a motor vehicle, in particular a rear hood (1), comprising an actuation part (10) that is fastened to a housing part (20), at least two conductor elements (21) disposed on the housing part (20), an elastically deformable contact element (22) that cooperates with the conductor elements (21), a plunger (11), which is disposed at the actuation part (10), for deforming the contact element (22). According to the invention, the actuation part (10) and the housing part (20) delimit an internal space (2) that is totally closed off from the environment (3), and the actuation part (10) is mounted pivotably about an axis (4) that runs axisymetrically with respect to the internal space (2).

  • Publication number: 20130088599
    Abstract: The invention relates to a camera device for capturing images of an external region (30) of a vehicle. Said device comprises a camera (10) and a chamber (11) in which the camera (10) can be accommodated at least in part and which has an opening toward the outer region (30). Furthermore, an inner chamber (31), which can comprise in particular areas of the luggage compartment and/or of the passenger compartment, is provided in the vehicle. The invention further comprises at least one housing component (20), which separates the camera space (11) at least in some regions from the inner chamber (31). According to the invention, at least one housing component (20) is provided as a sealing element (21), which consists of a fluid-tight material and which is arranged such that said element seals the camera space (11) in a fluid-tight manner with respect to the inner chamber (31).

  • Patent number: 7884293
    Abstract: Such a control (10) firstly has a control housing (11) with a control rocker switch (21) which is mounted on the control housing in such a way that it can be rocked and at least two electrical wires in the interior of the housing, which protrude from the control housing (11) and are attached to an electrical drive of one lock. An electrical switch which in turn has a switch housing with a ductile snap disc (40), which interacts with at least two rest contacts as articulated contact when a switch actuator deforms the snap disc, is normally a part of this control. The rest contacts are connected to the wires in the control housing (11). In order to manufacture an economical and space-saving device, it is proposed that the control housing (11) is also used as the switch housing and that the control rocker switch (21) is also utilized as the switch actuator.
