  • Patent number: 11767965
    Abstract: Optics (20) for an illumination device (1), as well as an illumination device (1) comprising such optics. The optics comprise at least one lens (30) with a light entry surface (31) and a light exit surface (32). A stepped lens structure (321), such as a Fresnel structure, is formed on the light exit surface. A recurring surface structure, such as periodically arranged prominences (311) and deepenings (321), are formed on the light entry surface (31).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10336273
    Abstract: A sensor system for detecting an adjustment position of a vehicle seat, the sensor system having a Hall sensor and a first preloaded magnet, and it is free of flux concentrators and shielding sheets. The Hall sensor and the first preloaded magnet are arranged along a longitudinal extension of the upper rail that is movable lengthwise such that during adjustment of the upper rail, passage of a free longitudinal end of the stationary lower rail will be monitored and result in a change of an output signal of the Hall sensor.

  • Patent number: 10249450
    Abstract: A switch for a belt buckle of a seatbelt device including at least two contact elements (4, 5) abutting on each other or reaching into abutment on each other in a cavity of the switch, wherein at least one of the contact elements (4, 5) is configured as a movable contact spring. An insertion channel (8) is provided into which a belt tongue, a locking part, an ejector (7) or a part movably coupled with one of these parts is insertable and removable at least with a section during the locking and unlocking movement of the belt tongue. A movably supported coupling member (3) protrudes with a first section (10) into the insertion channel (8) and includes a second section (11) associated with the contact spring. The movably supported coupling member (3) abuts via the second section (11) on the contact spring in a position-independent manner.

  • Patent number: 9663064
    Abstract: A seat belt lock with a Hall sensor for detection of a locking state of a seat belt lock having a metal seat belt lock frame arranged in a housing. The seat belt lock frame has an upper part and a lower part, connected to a define slit-like channel. A spring-loaded locking device for an inserted seat belt latch is mounted on the seat belt lock frame. A spring-loaded ejector for the inserted seat belt latch is arranged in the channel. The Hall sensor interacts with a permanent-magnetic component, whose distance relative to the Hall sensor is changeable based on translatory movement of the ejector in the case of actuation of the locking mechanism. The Hall sensor is arranged on or in the seat belt lock frame and is covered by a metal shielding element, which extends essentially parallel to the seat belt lock frame and forms a flow concentrator.

  • Patent number: 8610011
    Abstract: A belt lock for a seat belt system includes a locking mechanism arranged in a belt lock housing formed from two housing shells for an inserted belt tongue. The locking mechanism has an axially movable component that changes its location from a first end position into a second end position when the locking mechanism is actuated. The locking mechanism is also equipped with a switch arrangement that has at least one fixed contact part and one switching contact part that can move relative to it and on which, in an end position of the component that changes its location, the component acts. The switching contact part is configured as a clamp-shaped elastic sheet part with two axially running side braces that are provided with knee-like bends that, in an end position of the axially movable component, are mechanically exposed to pressure by the component.
