  • Patent number: 12025221
    Abstract: A park lock mechanism for a motor vehicle includes a park lock pawl for selectively forming a form-locking connection to a lock region, the park lock mechanism having a locking mode, in which the park lock pawl is moved into a locking position, and a driving mode, in which the park lock pawl is moved into a driving position. The park lock pawl is pivotable about a pawl axis from the locking position into the driving position. A locking pawl spring device preloads the park lock pawl into the driving position. A locking pawl actuation device has a locking pawl actuator with a locking pawl actuator shaft and has a locking pawl cone, the locking pawl cone being movable along a cone axis by the locking pawl actuator. The cone axis is parallel to the pawl axis. The locking pawl cone is movable along the cone axis between a cone driving position and a cone locking position.

  • Patent number: 9677321
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a window spacer has an outer elongate strip with a first surface and a second surface. The window spacer also has first and second inner elongate strips that each has a first surface and a second surface. The inner elongate strips are arranged so that each of the first surfaces of the inner elongate strips is spaced from the second surface of the outer elongate strip. The inner elongate strips are also spaced from each other to form an elongate intermediate pane gap. Support legs extend between the outer elongate strip and the two inner elongate strips.

  • Publication number: 20060191700
    Abstract: Systems and methods for covering a trough member. A system can include a hinge clip coupled to a sidewall of the trough member and having arms creating a socket. The system can include a cover including a pivot member and a groove at one end. The pivot member can be received in the socket to allow the cover to pivot about the pivot member from open to closed positions, and one arm of the socket can be received in the groove in the open position. A capture clip including a ramp portion and a seat can be coupled to the other sidewall, and another pivot member at the other end of the cover can ride along the ramp and drop into the seat as the cover is pivoted from open to closed positions. The cover can also be two cover portions, each extending partially over the trough member and creating a slot therebetween.
