Patent number: 7574937Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2005Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Teleflex Automotive Germany GmbHInventors: Andreas Waldow, Stephan Grossmann, Axel Wack, Guido Naumann, Markus Jaekel

Patent number: 6915718Abstract: A selector lever for automatic transmission for an automobile has an automatic selector handle in which the horizontal movement of the push button into the housing is transmitted to the rod by means of a deflecting lever which is swivelable around a cylindrical pin. A support lever is connected with the rod by a cylindrical pin. The support lever is supported at the housing and its movement is limited by a distance element.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2002Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: United Parts FHS Automobil Systeme GmbHInventors: Bohuslav Blascok, Axel Wack

Patent number: 6877396Abstract: A shift handle with a push button mechanism for shifting an automatic transmission in motor vehicles which includes the shaft handle, a push rod for the automatic transmission, the push button and elements for transmitting movement from the push button to the push rod. The push button is provided with a toothed rack engaging in the teeth of a toothed wheel which is mounted in the shift handle so as to be rotatable by a cylindrical pin. A tension spring is arranged in the push button. The push rod has a region with teeth engaging in the toothed wheel which is mounted so as to be rotatable.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: United Parts FHS Automobil Systeme GmbHInventors: Bohuslav Blascok, Axel Wack, Uwe Schlüsche

Patent number: 6733201Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Teleflex Automotive Germany GmbHInventors: Axel Wack, Andreas Waldow, Dirk Brucke

Patent number: 6595080Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2001Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: United Parts FHS Automobil Systeme GmbHInventors: Andreas Waldow, Axel Wack
