Abstract: The invention relates to a gear for adjusting two parts (60, 61) that can be displaced in relation to each other, particularly vehicle parts of a seat adjustment device, of a window lifter or of a sliding roof, wherein the first one of the parts (60) comprises a non-rotatable spindle (62) or a fixed toothed rack. The gear comprises a worm wheel (4, 41), with a spindle nut (42) non-rotatable thereto for driving the spindle (62) or a worm non-rotatable thereto for driving the toothed rack, a drivable worm (3, 31) for transmitting a driving force to the worm wheel (4, 41) and a gear housing (1), which accommodates and supports the worm (3) and the worm wheel (4) and which can be non-rotatably connected to the second one of the parts (61) in the displacement direction thereof, the gear housing (1) being formed by a single-piece body with a worm bearing (14) and a worm wheel bearing (19).

Abstract: Case parts of an adjustment mechanism for a seat adjustment device of a motor vehicle can be joined together along a parting line via joint surfaces. The joint surfaces are provided for the purpose of reciprocal placement of the case parts by way of a joining process. Contact surfaces of the case parts are present in addition to the joint surfaces The contact surfaces are in non-parallel alignment to the joint surfaces. Transferred gear forces running parallel to at least a section of the joint surfaces are absorbed by the contact surfaces. The case parts are fastened to one another by way of screw connections. The contact surfaces of the one case part are respectively held in position with respect to the contact surfaces of the other case part solely due to the screw connections. With such a case, high loads can be absorbed in spite of a small size.

Abstract: A plastic slip clutch for an adjustable drive in an automobile with a hub (3) which exhibits an inner profile (4), and a shaft (1) which exhibits an outer profile (2), where for the purpose of transmitting torque the shaft with the outer profile is introduced into the inner profile of the hub in form-fitting and force-fitting fashion, and where the inner profile (4) of the hub (3) exhibits plastic elements (5) for the transmission of force, such that the plastic elements (5) become elastically deformed under the effect of a force exceeding a given threshold force and thereby permit the outer profile (2) of the shaft (1) to slip through inside of the hub (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a steering column height adjusting mechanism having a base body (1), a steering column guide (2) for accommodating and guiding a steering column, a steering column support (20) for supporting the steering column guide (2) pivotably relative to the base body (1), an adjusting element (3) for pivoting the steering column guide (2) relative to the base body (1), and a drive device (4) for adjusting the adjusting element (3), the drive device (4) being arranged on the base body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gearing mechanism for the adjustment of two reciprocally adjustable parts (60, 61), especially vehicle parts of a seat adjustment device, a window lifter or a sunroof, wherein the first of the parts (60) has a nonrotating spindle (62) or a fixed tooth rack. The gearing mechanism is formed with a wormwheel (4, 41), which has a spindle nut (42) non-rotatingly connected thereto in order to drive the spindle (62) or a worm non-rotatingly connected thereto in order to drive the tooth rack, with a worm (3, 31) that can be driven so as to transfer a driving force to the wormwheel (4, 41), and with a gear housing (1), which houses the worm (3) and wormwheel (4) in a supporting manner, and which can be connected immovably with the second of the parts (61) in its adjusting direction, wherein the gear housing (1) is formed of a single-piece body with a worm support (14) and a wormwheel support (19).

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle seat section adjusting device having a seat section adjusting element (21) for adjusting the width of a seat section (20) of a seat in an adjustment direction, a mounting mechanism (22, 10) for movably supporting the seat section adjusting element (21) on the seat, and a drivable adjusting mechanism (35a, 45) for adjusting the seat section adjusting element (21) from or to a rest position relative to the mounting mechanism (22, 10). Effective seat width adjustment with a small space requirement for installation is made possible in that the seat section adjusting element (21) forms an abutment (23; 46) running obliquely to its longitudinal direction and/or having an arc shape for the adjusting mechanism (35a; 45) and the adjusting mechanism (35a; 45) for adjusting the seat section adjusting element (21) is fashioned and arranged adjustably so that a portion of the adjusting mechanism (35a; 45) moves along the abutment (23; 46) and in contact therewith.
