  • Patent number: 9567769
    Abstract: A door structure for vehicles has a door outer lining, a door inner lining and a locking/closing mechanism with actuating elements on the outer side and optionally on the inner side of the door. The locking/closing mechanism is connected to the door release via at least one transmission element (8) between the door outer lining and the door inner lining. A locking element (1) between the door outer lining and the door inner lining acts on the transmission element (8) and inhibits the door release in the event of a side impact, The locking element (1) inhibits the operation of the transmission element (8) by blocking it as a result of pivoting of the locking element (1) in the event of a relative movement of the door outer lining in the direction of the door inner lining.

  • Patent number: 8623254
    Abstract: A method for producing a magnetic field sensor for use in drive train of a motor vehicle includes encapsulating an electrical assembly and an end of a connecting cable via injection molding and integrally extruding a fastening tab. After a first injection step in which the electrical assembly and the connecting cable are encapsulated in a core-type first molded part, a second injection molding step in implemented in which a fastening tab is integrally formed via injection molding on the core-type insertion part in a specifiable longitudinal and/or angular position. The core-like insertion part is held in the injection mold in a longitudinally displaceable and/or rotatable manner.

  • Publication number: 20100207295
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a magnetic field sensor (13), particularly a rotary speed and/or rotational direction sensor for the wheel rotation or for the drivetrain of a motor vehicle, wherein an electrical component (10) and the end of a connecting cable (28) are encapsulated in plastic (32) by injection molding, and a mounting tab (38) is injection molded. After a first injection process step, wherein the electrical component (10) and the connecting cable (28) are encapsulated in a core-like first molded part (30, 32), and a mounting tab (38) is injected onto the core-like insert (30) in a second injection process step in a longitudinal and/or angular position that can be prescribed. The core-like insert (30) is thereby longitudinally displaceably and/or rotatably held in the injection mold (46, 58), together with the connecting cable, whereby various positions of the insert (30) can be defined relative to the mounting tab (38).

  • Patent number: 6913301
    Abstract: A device to adjust the effective length of a sling during the transport of a load is designed as a continuous loop with a carrier part. The carrier part has projections located at each of two opposed spaced sites. Each of said projections supports a segment of the sling. The carrier part also has an opening through which a loop segment of the sling is guided.

  • Patent number: 6719341
    Abstract: An apparatus for continuously adjusting the length of a lifting sling designed to carry a load comprises a U-shaped clamp having a central region, and first and second side legs projecting from the ends of the central region, a swivel axis member supported by bearings in the first and second legs of the clamp; a load lifting element attached to the clamp which is designed for attachment to a load; and a clamping element supported on the swivel axis member. The clamping element comprises: (i) first and second side legs spaced apart from each other, each side leg having a free end coupled to the swivel axis member and a second end; (ii) an end cross-piece formed at the second end of one of the side legs and spanning the distance between the side legs; and (iii) a center cross-piece located between the end cross-piece and the swivel axis member.
