Abstract: A device for the releasable fastening of seats, bench seats or other objects on a floor of a motor vehicle, comprising a locking part, and a mating locking part which can be fastened to the floor. The locking part is movable by overcoming a spring force from a locking position, in which it cannot be uncoupled from the mating locking part, into a release position in which it can be uncoupled from the mating locking part. A blocking element, upon the uncoupling, retains the locking part in the release position by a positively locking interengagement.

Abstract: A device for damping the belt tension which occurs in a seat belt (16) in the event of a momentary stress of great force. In order for momentary stresses of great force on the seat belt (16) to be able to be absorbed without injury being caused, the device has at least two reels (6, 14), rollers or the like which deflect the seat belt (16) from its straight-line extent and at least one (14) of which can yield elastically in the transverse direction of the extent when a preset maximum force is exceeded.

Abstract: Mating closure part for a tailgate lock or door lock comprising a closure part with latch or the like and a mating closure part interacting therewith, having a closure member (2), in particular in the form of a closure block or closure bracket, which can be gripped by the latch and which, in order to generate a starting torque in closure direction (X), can be displaced from an open position (FIG. 3) into a closed position. The displacement of the closure member (2) is derived from the displacement of a threaded engagement part (spindle nut 3, 4) engaging in the thread of a rotationally driven spindle (5, 6).

Abstract: A seat back (35) with a headrest (40) on a vehicle seat (33). To reduce the whiplash effect during a front-end accident to a significant degree, the head rest (40) rests on a headrest support (38) that can be pivoted outward and forward around a horizontal axis (39), with the backward displacement of the support being restricted in terms of movement.

Abstract: A catch hook device for a front hood, or the like, on motor vehicles has a closure hoop and a catch hook, which can be fastened alternatively on the front end of the body of the car or on the front hood. The device holds the front hood in a slit-open position after the opening of the closure by mutual hook engagement. The hook engagement is detachable and can be obtained automatically upon the closing of the hood. In order to optimize the dependability of the closure and to prevent deformations, larger tolerance, etc.

Abstract: A device (1) for holding two structural parts in a spaced relationship with respect to each other, having a spacer for filling the distance between the two structural parts, which spacer has a support part (2) which can be brought into a position fixed in rotation with respect to the second structural part (7) and a rotary drive part (3) which can be displaced axially with respect to the support part (2) by rotation. The support part (2) and rotary drive part (3) rest on a helical engagement surface (14, 17) which has a slope which is opposite the slope of a thread of a screw (11) which, upon being screwed into an axial opening (15) in the rotary drive part (3) carries the latter therealong.

Abstract: A headrest (23) which pivots forward, by lever action, as a result of the mass of the upper body of a vehicle occupant acting on a pressure-bearing surface in the event of an impact from the rear. In order that in case of both a rear-end crash and a head-on crash of the vehicle, the headrest (23) follows the head of an individual sitting on the vehicle seat, the headrest (23) is positioned on a headrest carrier (17) which can be pivoted out of the backrest (3) in the forward direction and can be pivoted outward about a pin (19), this pin being located at a lower level than that of the pivot pin (21) of the headrest (23).

Abstract: A device for holding two structural parts (1, 2) in a spaced relationship with respect to each other, having a spacer for filling the distance between the two structural parts, the spacer having a support part (3) which can be brought into a position fixed for rotation with respect to the first structural part (1) and a rotary drive part (4) which can be displaced axially with respect to the support part (3) by rotation, the support part (3) and the rotary drive part (4) resting on a helical engagement surface (7, 8) which has a slope which is opposite the slope of a thread of a screw (5) which, upon being screwed into an axial opening (11) in the rotary drive part, carries the latter along in rotation. The support part (3) and rotary drive part (4) are magnetically attached to each other, the support part (3) and/or the rotary drive part (4) being of permanently magnetic material.

Abstract: A handle fitting (1) with displaceable actuating handle (10) which fitting can be inserted into an opening in a door (2), particularly the door of a motor vehicle, and fastened by means of a holding member (15).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a locking device consisting of latch member and mating closure part for a swingable backrest of an automobile or the like, which latch member and mating closure part have fastening for in each case point attachment, on the one hand, to the backrest and, on the other hand, in fixed position to the body of the automobile, and the latch member has a manually actuatable detent element which enters into engagement behind the step on the mating closure part in order to obtain a locking position, an insertion pocket (2) which is formed by the latch member (1) for receiving the mating closure part (4) which is developed as a strap (3) and a latch head (6, 7; 48) which is formed by the detent member and is displaceable substantially transverse to the lengthwise direction in the pocket for engagement with a notching (8, 9, 10, 11; 51, 52, 53) associated with a strap (3) are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates a lock-cylinder key (S) having bit steps (6) protruding on the wide sides (4) of its key shank (1) for the positioning of the lock-cylinder tumblers (19). In order to obtain a particularly simple but very dependable solution from a locking standpoint, the bit steps (6) represent the extensions of the edges (10) of a wide-side opening (11).

Abstract: A device for the clamping attachment of spaced structural parts by a connecting screw and a distance plate arranged in the space between them, which plate is provided with ascent support surfaces opposite which there are form-fitting mating ascent support surfaces associated with the other structural part, the rotation of the support surfaces with respect to each other determining the axial distance assumed in the manner that the distance plate is carried along into the resting position by the connecting screw. In case of use the resting height (Al) is adapted to be reduced a predetermined amount by the clamping force of the connecting screw (4).
