  • Patent number: 10935787
    Abstract: A combiner positioning system for a head-up display, the system including a combiner for the head-up display, where the combiner is movable between a stowed position and a display position, positioning means built to move the combiner from the stowed position into the display position, and actuation means built to disengage locking means. The positioning means includes spring means built to move the combiner from the stowed position into the display position by means of a spring force in case the locking means are disengaged, and the combiner is built to be moved manually from the display position into the stowed position, where in the stowed position the combiner is built to lock into place by engaging the locking means.

  • Patent number: 7367033
    Abstract: Device for scanning a disc-shaped data carrier, comprising a transport system for transporting the data carrier. In the case of a device (1) for scanning a disc-shaped data carrier (2), with a pivotable data carrier plate (4), which features a receptacle for the data carrier (2), said data carrier (2) is to be able to be moved between the inlay position and the scanning position, which is at a higher level than the inlay position, by means of a combined sliding and swivel action, in order to minimize the design height of the device (1) with an adjustably held transport system (5) for moving the data carrier (2) between an inlay position and a scanning position, in which scanning position the data carrier (2) is located on the data carrier plate (4) for scanning, and with a guide device, such as a lever (9) or sliding blocks (17, 18).
