  • Publication number: 20070272565
    Abstract: The invention relates to a casing for a key with sensors that are positioned inside the casing and that are actuated by means of push buttons, so that the push buttons are situated in openings of a casing cover and can be displaced against a rebound force perpendicularly to the surface of the casing cover in the direction toward the sensors. In order to improve a generic casing both in terms of production technology as well as in advantageous uses, it is proposed that the push buttons made of a hard plastic are inserted with lateral distance in the openings and are held in place by a soft plastic inset inserted into a recess in the casing cover.

  • Patent number: 6997488
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary-latch lock (1) having a rotary latch (6) which is retained in a locked position by a catch (9), and having an actuating member (19) which can be displaced by an electric motor from a starting position into an actuating position and is intended for pivoting the catch (9) into a release position, in which the rotary latch (6) can pivot into an open position. In order to optimize the functioning of the rotary-latch lock, the invention proposes to provide a release member (24) which by means of the rotary latch (6), as the latter rotates into the open position, releases the actuating member (19) for the catch (9) for return displacement into the starting position.

  • Patent number: 6712544
    Abstract: A device (1) for connecting first and second components (2, 3) which lie at a spacing from one another by clamping by a spacer (7), which is disposed in a spacing region, and a clamping piece (15) which clamps the two components (2, 3) with respect to one another, the securing actuation of the clamping piece (15) initially displacing the spacer (7) from a spaced position to a bearing position with respect to the second component (3) and then fixing the device to the first component (2) by clamping elements (13) which move into engagement against the wall of an insertion cavity (6) of the first component (2), wherein the spreading elements (13) are associated with the spacer (7).
