Abstract: An installation for the control of the brake force at the wheels of motor vehicle combinations, such as of truck-trailer combinations, in which one locking protective brake force control system each is coordinated to the truck and to the trailer which operate independently of one another, and by means of which each individual wheel is controllable within the stable range of the friction value-slippage-curve; a measuring device is thereby arranged in the connection between the truck and the trailer for measuring the tow bar force occurring thereat, whereby this measuring device is connected with the locking protective brake force control system of the truck and is operable to produce a signal when a predetermined, pushing tow-bar force value is exceeded, which blocks an increase of the brake force at the truck for the duration of the presence of the signal from the measuring device.

Abstract: A sensor triggerable by deceleration forces, especially in motor vehicles, which accommodates within a housing a mass that is held with prestress; when deflected the mass is received by the bottom of the housing interior, whereby the interior space of the housing is subdivided into chambers by means of upwardly projecting partition walls which hold fast the deflected mass.

Abstract: A rifle trigger mechanism comprises a sear spring-urged into an intercepting position and pivotal into a non-intercepting position. An intermediate lever is pivotal into a locking position in which it backs the sear in the intercepting position. A trigger is pivotal from an intermediate position forwardly to a preset position and rearwardly to a triggered position. The trigger has an extension for direct engagement with the lever in the locking position when in the intermediate position, to be clear thereof when in the preset position, and to cause the lever to move out of the locking position to release the sear for a movement out of the intercepting position in response to a movement of the trigger from the intermediate to the triggered position. A compression spring opposes a trigger movement to the preset position and is arranged to cause the trigger to move beyond the intermediate position to the triggered position when the trigger has been slightly moved from the preset toward the intermediate position.

Abstract: A master brake cylinder for two-circuit brake systems of motor vehicles which includes two cylinders and pistons for the two brake circuits arranged one behind the other in a tandem arrangement; the piston for the front axle brake circuit thereby has a larger diameter than the piston for the rear axle brake circuit while the pressure space for the front axle brake circuit is connected with that of the rear axle brake circuit by way of a line in which a control valve is arranged that is controlled in dependence on the vehicle load.

This is a division of application Ser. No. 531,795 filed Dec. 11, 1974.

Abstract: A vehicle frame consisting of longitudinal bearers with hollow profile which are interconnected near their ends by at least one transversely extending element; at least one of the edges of the longitudinal bearers is provided with intentionally weakened places for reducing the compressive strength in the end areas, which are constructed as beads or corrugations that extend preferably in the vehicle transverse direction; the beads or corrugations may thereby have their greatest depth in the area of the edges and after reaching the bearer walls adjoining on both sides thereof, run out in the plane thereof.

Abstract: A drive arrangement for motor vehicles, especially for passenger motor vehicles, having an automatically shifting transmission and a mechanism for raising the idling rotational speed of the driving engine during a warm-up phase. The automatically shifting transmission includes a servo-device which, in a first position of a command slide valve, is adapted to be shifted into a position for a first speed range and, in a second position of the command slide valve, is adapted to be shifted into a position for a second speed range. A kickdown solenoid valve acting on the command slide valve is provided which, during actuation of a kick-down switch, passes over into a down-shifting position.
