Abstract: The present invention relates to the arrangement of a stator and a spare stator. In order to avoid a permanent correction in the length of the driving shaft, the spare stator is connected to the instantaneously operated stator or is configured in a single piece. Upon occurrence of a defined amount of wear, this stator combination is merely reversed through 180° relative to the longitudinal axis or an intermediate tube is inserted so that the spare stator arrives in the rotor region.

Abstract: An adhesive tape section having an adhesive region and designed as a polygon having a number of sides and the same number of grip tabs arranged around the adhesive region, or designed as a circle, the adhesive region occupying a central portion of said circle, and a grip tab occupying an outer portion of said circle. The adhesive tape section, when bonded to a substrate, forms a bond with the substrate, which bond is releasible from the substrate by pulling on at least on of said grip tabs in the plane of the bond to stretch the adhesive tape section in the plane of the bond thereby to release the adhesive tape section from the substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for adjusting a seat back (6) of a vehicle seat (4), in which a drive (9) that carries out adjusting processes is integrated. This acts on stagger gears (10, 22), with which the seat back (6) is moved within a range of inclination (13). A torsion element (24) is provided between the stagger gears (10, 22) that compensates the clearance in the stagger gears (10, 22) within a first range of adjustment (18) of the seat back (6) and functions as support for the driver motor within a further range of adjustment (19) of the seat back (6).

Abstract: An adhesive tape dispenser for dispensing and cutting a length of an adhesive tape. The adhesive tape dispenser comprises an adhesive tape cutting device. The adhesive tape cutting device comprises a) a resting surface to which a tacky side of said adhesive tape can be adhered while the adhesive tape is being cut, b) two lateral webs extending in the same direction from both edges of the resting surface to serve as guides for the adhesive tape, and c) a cutting blade having a blade edge and positioned on an inner side of one or both lateral webs in such a way that the blade edge is inclined at an angle which is oblique relative to the resting surface. The lateral webs have a height from the resting surface which is the same or is higher than each cutting blade. The adhesive tape dispenser is useful to dispense and cut adhesive tapes comprising a backing of biaxially oriented or highly stretched film, such as polyolefin.

Abstract: In a device for connecting two parts for the sake of high-precision fixation of the two parts in a defined positioning to one another, two connection pairs are provided, each comprising one wedgelike tab, assigned to the first part and extending in the connection direction, and one wedge-shaped notch, assigned to the other part and extending in the connection direction, with a course of the wedge that is contrary to that to the tab, and into which notch the tab can be pressed, causing deformation. The two connection pairs are oriented such that the press-in directions of the tabs into the assigned notches are opposite one another in terms of the connection direction.

Abstract: The invention is based on an apparatus for adjusting a vehicle seat, the position of which can be adjusted via one or more geared motors (8, 38, 41, 42), wherein the geared motors (8, 38, 41, 42) can be actuated via a control (24). A vehicle seat underbody (3, 32, 45) is supported at at least three points by means of driven lifting spindles (16), driven guide bars (28, 39, 40) or sliding fixtures (34, 35, 43), wherein at least one support point (16, 29, 34) can be varied relative to the other remaining support points of the vehicle seat in such a fashion that a spherical seat adjustment results.

Abstract: A curtain consists of a web of temperature resistant material that forms a web surface and that may be unwound from a coil that is arranged on a coil core. The curtain web has lateral edge regions on either side of the web so as to be separated by the curtain web's width and upper and lower end edge region. The curtain web includes a first outer web layer, and inner layer of fibrous material that extends over a predetermined length and that forms two opposed surfaces, one of which is adjacent to the first outer web layer. The curtain web also includes a second outer layer that is adjacent to the other surface of the inner layer. The curtain arrangement further includes a supply for a liquid fire retardant that extends with in the region of the upper end edge region and over the width of the curtain so as to supply the liquid to the fibrous material.

Abstract: Core for winding self-adhesively coated materials in web form, wherein the outer contour of the core is formed by at least one substantially round, self-contained segment, the ends of which run together in an edge, with a) the round segment being shaped convexly with respect to the axis of the core, b) the normals to the surface of the round segment being aligned substantially orthogonally with respect to the axis of the core, c) the edge being aligned substantially parallel with respect to the axis of the core and the core having a recess on the inside, so that the roll together with the core can be fitted on commercially available adhesive tape dispensers which have cylindrical core holders.

In operation, the collar element of a preferred embodiment is supported on the collar support plate on two spaced bearing points, one bearing point with a trailing bridge in a manner that collar element can be swivelled around an axis which is perpendicular to collar support plate, and another bearing point with a leading bridge which can be displaced in corresponding arc-shaped crank.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock or the like has a housing (1) or a lock bearing plate, a rotary latch (2) with a jaw (3) for a locking wedge (4) or lock bolt and a pawl (7) for locking the rotary latch (2) in a locking position which corresponds to the closed motor vehicle door. Several complementary measures are proposed which can be applied together or separately to optimise the locking elements—rotary latch (2) and pawl (7). A differentiated positioning of the rotary latch (2) and pawl (7) is particularly significant. The material, shape and/or mounting of the swivelling axis (10) of the rotary latch (2) or of the swivelling axis (20) of the pawl (7) are designed for normal operation conditions.
