Abstract: A door module of a vehicle door is provided. The door module comprising a carrier plate, a drive unit arranged on the carrier plate for driving a power-operated adjustment device of the door module, and a decoupling means arranged on the carrier plate for attenuating an acoustic excitation of the carrier plate in operation of the drive unit. The decoupling means is formed by at least one slot, which partly separates a portion carrying the drive unit from another portion of the carrier plate and extends around the drive unit or around a fastening point of the drive unit on the carrier plate in a circumferential direction, and at least one web, which connects the portion carrying the drive unit with the other portion of the carrier plate.

Abstract: A window lifter assembly is provided including a flexible pulling means for transmitting a driving force produced by a window lifter drive to a window pane to be adjusted, having a carrier, which is to be coupled to flexible pulling means and to which the window pane is to be fixed so that the window pane is connected to the flexible pulling means via the carrier. Additionally, the window lifter assembly includes guiding means being spaced from the carrier for guiding the window pane along an adjustment path defined by the guiding means. The window pane is moved together with the carrier in said adjustment path if a drive force is applied to the window pane without the carrier engaging in a guiding device that extends along the adjustment path in addition to the connection of the carrier to the flexible pulling means.

Abstract: A window lifter assembly for a motor vehicle is provided. The window lifter assembly comprising a flexible pulling means for transmitting a driving force produced by a window lifter drive to a window pane to be adjusted, comprising a carrier, which is to be tied on one hand to flexible pulling means and to which the window pane is to be fixed on the other hand so that the window pane is connected to the flexible pulling means via the carrier, and comprising guiding means being spaced apart contact free from the carrier for guiding the window pane along an adjustment path defined by the guiding means. The window pane is moved together with the carrier in said adjustment path if a drive force is applied to the window pane directly by the window pane which is guided on the guiding means, without the carrier engaging in a guiding device that extends along the adjustment path enforces a movement along the adjustment path on the carrier in addition to the connection of the carrier to the flexible pulling means.

Abstract: A drive device for moving a covering element for covering an opening in a motor vehicle such as a roller blind, a baggage space cover or a sunroof cover, includes a drive, a guide device and a thrust element which is coupled to the drive.

Abstract: Roll-up window blind assembly for motor vehicles comprising a roll-up window blind near a window pane and an adjusting mechanism disposed underneath the window pane for drawing off a blind material from a winding body, which is joined to the lower end of a power transmission means, the upper end of which is linked to a pull rod joined to the upper edge of the blind material to draw said material off. Assembly further comprises guide means for guidance of the power transmission means. To effectively prevent vibration of the blind material against the window pane, the guide means controls a path of the power transmission means whereby, during the drawing, the upper end of the power transmission means moves towards or contacts the window pane and moves along or in contact with the window pane on further drawing-off of the blind material.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door with a door body includes a door outer shell and a door inner shell between which a window lifter for lifting and lowering a window pane is configured within a door shaft. A component disposed inside the door shaft presents a crosslink between the window pane or the window lifter and at least one door shell. As an antitheft protection the component rests against the window pane or the window lifter under prestress and is swiveled, when the window pane is lifted, from the door shaft into a positive lock position with the door shell by a catch or support disposed on the window pane. In order to improve lateral and front-crash protection, the component is linked with the window pane and establishes a positive or negative lock between the door shells in a defined position of the window pane.
