  • Patent number: 7574937
    Abstract: A control device for electronic multi-step gear shifting control of an automatic transmission for motor vehicles functions to shift gears by means of the tip actuation of a selector lever with a shifting journal that can be pivoted from the automatic shift lane into the multi-step shift lane. The control device is configured as a tip shifting module in the form of a compact modular component with a sturdy housing. The tip shifting module serves to secure and hold in place several mechanical modules and electronic modules located therein and convert the mechanical shifting movement of the selector lever imparted on the input side into electric control signals that can be tapped at the output side of the module. A multi-track encoded magnet arranged in the housing of the module together with several Hall sensors ensures a reliable generation of switching signals.

  • Patent number: 6733201
    Abstract: A plug connection with an installation securing device for cable lines comprises a sleeve with a central cylindrical cavity that is open at one end. A primary groove is open to the outer surface of the sleeve and the central cylindrical cavity. A wedge-shaped barrier that is integrally formed with the sleeve is disposed in the primary groove. A bolt is disposed in the central cylindrical cavity and it has a secondary groove that extends around its entire circumference. The secondary groove aligns with said primary groove when said bolt is fully inserted in said sleeve. A U-shaped spring is disposed in the primary groove holding the bolt in place by engaging the secondary groove via said primary groove. The U-shaped spring has hook-shaped ends that engage a wedge-shaped barrier, holding said U-shaped spring in place and thus said bolt in said sleeve.

  • Patent number: 6595080
    Abstract: A longitudinal adjuster having a release device on a core of an actuating-pull mechanism for use, e.g., on motor vehicles has a connecting eyelet on an end of a housing. An end of the core includes a toothing arrangement which is engageable with a toothing arrangement carried on a retaining pawl in the housing. Normally, the adjuster is maintained in closed condition by a spring acting on the housing and a slide on the housing. The slide can be moved in opposition to the spring to place the adjuster in open condition. In open adjuster condition, the retaining pawl is displaceable such as to disengage the toothing arrangements thus allowing adjustment of a distance between the connecting eyelet and the core end.

  • Patent number: 6453765
    Abstract: An abutment with a molded part for the fastening of actuating pulls, preferably for actuating pulls at the transmission in motor vehicles. The abutment has a base plate with a self-locking wedge, a perforated plate and a stop which protrudes relative to the base plate. A molded part into which at least one cable pull projects and is enclosed and held by the molded part. The molded part has a conical support surface into which the self-locking wedge fits. A guide rod projects into the molded part and can snap into the perforated plate of the abutment. A lock is provided at the molded part and can be unlocked by the stop of the abutment and provides a connection between the abutment and the molded part.
