  • Patent number: 9707827
    Abstract: A window lifter assembly is provided which comprises at least one carrier component and a guide rail fixed at the carrier component, which defines a path of adjustment for a window pane to be adjusted. At least three geometrically differently designed first, second and third fixing regions are provided at the guide rail, which in the properly connected state with a tab each engage into a cutout of an associated fixing region at the carrier component. Identically formed screws are used at the different first, second and third fixing points defined thereby, in order to fix the guide rail at the carrier component.

  • Patent number: 9289313
    Abstract: An insertion instrument for instrumented insertion of a socket inset (4) with a spherical cap (20) into a hip socket (5) of a hip-joint prosthesis, having an impacting instrument (1) with a handle (7), at one end of which a holding tool for the socket inset (4) is located. In order to avoid tilting of the socket inset during insertion, it is proposed that the one end (8) of the impacting instrument (1) has a spherical shape and is part of the holding tool, and the holding tool furthermore comprises an impacting head (2), which is designed as a separate component and received the spherical end (8) of the impacting instrument (1) in an articulated manner, and an insertion aid (3), which is designed as a separate component and serves to hold the socket inset (4) on the outer geometry of the impacting head (2), and the impacting head (2) can be connected to the spherical end (8) to form a ball joint.

  • Patent number: 9168815
    Abstract: A support component for a motor vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle door is provided. The support component defines a support plane and defines two opposed side faces for the arrangement of functional components of a motor vehicle window lifter, wherein the support component includes at least one reinforcing structure for reinforcing the support component, wherein the support component forms at least two surface segments which on both side faces are arranged in the direction of extension along the support plane. The reinforcing structure is formed such that on the one side face it extends in a manner protruding with respect to both surface segments transversely to the support plane and on the other side face extends in a manner set back with respect to a surface segment of the two surface segments and protruding with respect to the other surface segment of the two surface segments.
