Abstract: An indicator apparatus for signaling that a foldable backrest of a seat in a motor vehicle is not locked includes a handle pivoted between a locked position and an unlocked position about a pivot axis, a locking apparatus having a catch that, by working of the handle can be moved between a blocked position and an unblocked position, and an indicator element guided between a non-indication position and an indication position and movable by a transition element. The transmission element comprises a spring element that is fixedly connected both to the handle and to the indicator element. The spring element is resistant to deformation as the indicator element is moved by the handle, but can be deformed in an elastic manner when the handle is located in the unlocked position and the indicator element is moved out of the indication position into the non-indication position.

Abstract: A lockable locking device (1) for a vehicle seat (3) includes an unlocking handle (42) for unlocking the locking device (1) and a locking cylinder (50) for locking the locking device (1). The locking cylinder (50) is fastened to the unlocking handle (42). The unlocking handle (42) is substantially arranged within an unlocking housing (40) and is pivotable relative to the unlocking housing (40) about an unlocking axis (43). The locking cylinder (50) is configured approximately in the shape of a cylinder, wherein the cylinder axis (54) thereof runs in a plane perpendicularly to the unlocking axis (43). A vehicle seat (3) is provided with at least one such locking device (1).

Abstract: A fitting includes a movable locking device connected to a lower fitting part for engaging an upper fitting part and thereby locking the fitting, a control cam for engaging with a control element of the upper fitting part and thereby controlling the engagement of the locking device and the upper fitting part, and a spring-loaded clamping eccentric that acts on the locking device for securing its engagement with the upper fitting part. For unlocking the fitting, the spring-loaded clamping eccentric is moved with an actuating force in a first unlocking step, so that the engagement of the locking device and the upper fitting part is removed. In the first unlocking stage, the control cam and the control element still engage. In a second unlocking stage, which is attainable with a higher actuating force, the engagement of control cam and control element is at least to a large extent is removed.

Abstract: An image sensor module for reading optical information on an original and converting the information into electrical signals, has a row of opto-electrical sensors, each sensor having associated processing circuitry integrated therewith in the module. The drive module functions as the substrate for the sensors as well, which are separated from the substrate by an insulator layer, having openings therein for making electrical connection between the substrate and the sensor.

Abstract: A double layer having a hetero-junction interface for a storage electrode of an electro-optical camera device is produced by vacuum vapor deposition of n-conductive cadmium selenide or cadmium sulfo-selenide onto a n.sup.+ -conductive signal electrode layer comprised of tin oxide. The cadmium material to be vapor deposited is admixed with a small amount of a glass additive, such as boron oxide, the admixture sintered in vacuum and thereafter the cadmium material is vapor-deposited onto the signal electrode without spattering. The resultant hetero-junction is substantially free of metallic cadmium and such double layer is particularly useful in a Vidicon target.
