  • Patent number: 11299916
    Abstract: A lock, in particular for a two-wheeler, comprises: a lock body; a hoop that is movable between an open position and a closed position; a latch that is movably supported at the lock body between a locked position in which it blocks the hoop in its closed position against a departure from the closed position and an unlocked position in which it releases the hoop; a sensor for detecting the latch position; and a movably supported lever. A coupling section of the lever is movement-coupled to the latch here. In addition, the lever is supported such that on a movement of the coupling section, a deflection section spaced apart from the coupling section carries out a movement that is greater in comparison therewith, with the sensor detecting the position of the deflection section of the lever to detect the latch position.

  • Patent number: 10752160
    Abstract: An adjusting device (1) for adjusting a position of a headlight, comprising: a holding element (2) for holding the adjusting device (1) at an adjusting screw (10) and a transmission element (3) for changing the position of the headlight depending on the position of the holding element (2) at the adjusting screw (10), wherein the holding element (2) comprises at least two parts (2a, 2b) which are movable relative to one another and which at least partially enclose the cross-sectional area of the adjusting screw (10), and a moving means (4) is arranged at at least one of the at least two parts (2a, 2b), the moving means (4) can be moved such that the at least two parts (2a, 2b) move away from one another in order to arrange the holding element (2) of the adjusting device (1) at the adjusting screw (10), and such that the at least two parts (2a, 2b) move towards one another in order for the at least two parts (2a, 2b) of the holding element (2) to hold the adjusting device (1) at the adjusting screw (10), as wel

  • Patent number: 7712339
    Abstract: A jointed bar lock having a lock body and a jointed bar hoop which has a first end and a second end, said first end being permanently connected to the lock body and said second end being connectable to the lock body at a latching region of the lock body, with a bolt provided at the lock body selectively being movable into a latched position in which the bolt engages it the second end of the jointed bar hoop when it is connected to the lock body or is movable into a release position in which the second end of the jointed bar hoop is released for a removal from the lock body. The lock has an actuation device which is coupled to the bolt via a connection section and by which the bolt is movable from the latched position, into which the bolt is biased, into the release position. The lock body accommodates a combination locking mechanism to selectively block or release the bolt.
