Abstract: An installation in a passive safety belt actuating mechanism for the displacement of an entrainment member for a safety belt and of an unlocking element for unlocking the entrainment member from a locking mechanism, along a guide profile by means of an elongated flexible member extending in a guide profile, on which the entrainment member is secured for limited longitudinal displacement while the unlocking element is non-displaceably secured thereon; the elongated flexible member consists of a cable rigid in tension and compression with a plastic sleeve which is removed in the longitudinal displacement section of the entrainment member and in a fastening area of the unlocking element adjoining the same.

Abstract: An adjustment drive apparatus particularly for motor vehicles having coaxial rotatably supported driving and driven members with a helical spring which is braced against the inner circumferential surface of a hollow cylindrical element coaxial with these members operating to effect drive transmission therebetween. One of the members has a first claw or driver connection member rigidly affixed thereto, the claw member pressing against one of the ends of the helical spring to effect an extension or enlargement of the spring when relative rotation occurs between the spring and the claw member. The hollow cylindrical element within which the helical spring is located is affixed for rotation with the other of the driving and driven members. An auxiliary driving member is provided which, when activated, will cause the spring to be disengaged so that the driven member may be rotated through the auxiliary driving member.

Abstract: A drive unit for winding and unwinding a transport cable for a safety belt includes a motor driven take-up roll positioned within a housing and rotatable about a winding axis. The take-up roll has a radially outwardly facing surface encircling the winding axis. A casing encloses the take-up roll and has a radially inwardly facing surface spaced outwardly from the radially outwardly facing surface. When the cable is wound into the housing it winds onto the radially outwardly facing surface and when it is unwound it contacts the radially inwardly facing surface on the casing. The radially inwardly facing surface is frusto-conical in the direction of the winding axis with the larger diameter portion of the surface located closer to the opening from the housing through which the cable passes. Adjacent its larger diameter end, the radially inwardly facing surface has a circumferentially and radially extending step for preventing bending or kinking of the cable.

Abstract: A device for driving a rope-like power transmission member for a window lifting mechanism, such as in a motor vehicle, includes a casing with a worm rotatably supported within the casing, a worm gear in the casing and in engagement with the worm and an electric motor driving the worm. A rope drum is positioned within the casing and a coupling part interconnects the drum and the worm gear. The casing has an opening for moving the rope out of the casing. A sealing plate is located between the worm gear and the coupling part and divides the interior of the casing into a first partial space containing the worm and worm gear and a second partial space containing the drum and the coupling part. The sealing plate is arranged in form-locking engagement with the worm gear and it has an annular area facing toward the drum which is in contact with an annular area on the inner surface of the casing.

Abstract: An electrical window lift drive especially for use in a motor vehicle, includes a drive housing, an electric motor attached to the housing having a shaft extending into the interior of the housing. A worm gear is mounted on the motor shaft for rotation thereby. A worm wheel is mounted for independent rotation coaxially with respect to a first portion of a bearing shaft inside the housing on a member intermediate the bearing shaft and the wheel. The bearing shaft is supported in the housing on both sides of the worm wheel and extends transversely of the motor shaft. The worm wheel meshes with and is driven by the worm gear. A drive member is mounted coaxially with respect to a second portion of the bearing shaft, and means are provided intermediate the worm gear and the drive member for transferring rotary motion of the worm gear to the drive member.

Abstract: In a window lifter, an electric motor drives a window lifting arm via a gear arrangement. The gear arrangement includes a pinion interconnected with a larger diameter gear with both rotatably mounted on a pin. The pin is secured at one end to a base plate and at its other end to a stirrup. The pinion bears against the base plate, the stirrup extends outwardly from diametrically opposite sides of the gear and is connected at its ends outwardly from the gear to the base plate.

Abstract: A vitamin E dry powder, which contains a protein colloid and a disaccharide as carriers, is prepared by dispersing a vitamin E ester in a residual liquor, low in alkaline earth metal ions and rich in lactose, from the production of lactose, in the presence of from 2 to 30% by weight, based on the solids content of the residual liquor, of a caseinate, and spray-drying the dispersion.The vitamin E dry powder thus prepared is stable, easy to dose and physiologically safe, so that it can be used for any desired purpose.

Abstract: A window lifting arrangement for an automotive vehicle and the like includes a support which defines the axes x, y, z of a system of rectangular coordinates. A window pane is mounted for movement relative to the support, the movement having a principal component in the direction of the y-axis, the pane and its direction of movement being arcuate about an axis of curvature transverse to the y-axis. A guide rail elongated in the direction of the z-axis is secured to the pane. An operating arm is mounted on the support for angular movement about a pivot axis and has a free end drivingly connected to the guide rail for movement of the free end longitudinally of the guide rail. The pivot axis is inclined relative to the plane defined by the y- and x-axes at a small acute angle, and preferably relative to a plane defined by the x- and y-axes at another small acute angle.

Abstract: A window is mounted on supporting structure of a motorcar body on a carrier for limited vertical movement. A motion-transmitting linkage connecting the carrier to a lifting drive includes a link which is movably secured to the carrier and the supporting structure. One of the securing devices for the link includes a forked guide channel having the shape of a tuning fork and bounding a keyhole-shaped guide slot. A guide pin has a shank slidably received in the slot and two enlarged heads outside the slot on respective ends of the shank. The width of the enlarged slot part is sufficient to pass one of the heads while the remainder of the slot is narrower than the corresponding dimensions of both heads for securing the pin against transverse movement out of the narrow slot part.

Abstract: The window in a door of an automotive vehicle is lifted by an operating lever pivotally mounted on a supporting structure in the door which includes a releasably mounted carrier member of sheet metal. The weight of the window is partly balanced by a spiral spring one of whose ends is attached to the lever. The other end is secured in a gap between two integral lugs of the carrier member which are offset at right angles from the major face of the carrier member.

Abstract: The sliding window in the door of an automotive vehicle is movably guided between a longer and a shorter glass run channel and in a guide groove of a guide member spacedly aligned in the direction of window movement with the channel shortened to accomodate a lock element on the door. Movement of the pane into and out of the groove is facilitated by a flaring orifice of the groove.
