  • Patent number: 11834886
    Abstract: A device for protection against entrapment for a door for a vehicle includes an extruded profile extruded from an elastomer material, wherein the extruded profile includes a door leaf wall, which faces a contact edge of a door leaf of a door when the device is mounted on the door, a sealing wall arranged in an opposing position relative to the door leaf wall and a plunger for transferring a compression force into the extruded profile. The plunger is mounted on the sealing wall and extends along a transverse axis of the extruded profile away from the door leaf wall. The device also includes at least one switching element for detecting a compression of the extruded profile, wherein the at least one switching element is arranged in the region of the plunger between the door leaf wall and the plunger.

  • Publication number: 20220048372
    Abstract: A protection device for a door leaf for a motor vehicle includes a main body, a follower portion and a suspension element. The main body has a fastening side for fastening the main body to the door leaf and a sealing side opposite the fastening side. Furthermore, the main body comprises a first outer portion and a second outer portion. The first outer portion and the second outer portion run between the sealing side and the fastening side. The follower portion is arranged on the sealing side. The suspension element movably connects the follower portion to the main body and is designed to cause an evasive movement of the follower portion away from the fastening side in response to an application of force to the first outer side.

  • Patent number: 11235653
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a door sealing device sealing a gap between a door leaf and a frame for a rail vehicle, where the door sealing device includes a flexible tubular hollow chamber formed by two opposite contact walls and two opposite side walls, where, in the mounted state of the door sealing device, a first contact wall of the contact walls faces the door leaf and a second contact wall of the contact walls faces the frame so that the hollow chamber is subject to compression in the event of a closing motion of the door leaf, thereby moving the contact walls towards each other, and where the sidewalls are formed to be buckled along predetermined buckle lines in response to the compression.

  • Publication number: 20210317693
    Abstract: A toothed holding brake for a vehicle door has a shaft, an armature plate, a magnet device and a detection device. The armature plate has a first and second main surfaces arranged opposite one another, wherein an armature-plate toothed rim having a plurality of armature teeth is arranged on the second main surface. The armature plate is arranged in a locking position such that the armature teeth mesh in the carry-along teeth to prevent rotation of the shaft in at least one direction, and is arranged in a release position such that the armature teeth are arranged at a distance from the carry-along teeth to enable rotation of the shaft in both directions. The magnet device has a magnet main surface arranged facing the armature plate, wherein the magnet device is designed to move the armature plate between the locking position and the release position.
