Patent number: 7316211Abstract: The invention relates to an adjusting device for adjusting two parts (2,3) with respect to one another that is used as a cam shaft adjuster. The objective of the invention is, with an easy and smooth operability, to ensure a self-locking and an at least extensive play-free, continuous adjustment of the two parts with a high degree of efficiency. To this end, the adjusting device comprises a first part (2) with webs (2.3, 22.3), which are interspaced in the peripheral direction and between which chambers (2.4) are formed, and includes a second part (3) with an internal gearing (3.2, 13.2), and a number of teeth (7, 27) that are arranged inside the chambers (2.4) while being interspaced in the peripheral direction. The adjusting device also includes an inner contact surface (7.4) for resting against an eccentric drive element (6), and includes an outer contact surface (7.5) for engaging inside the internal gearing (3.2, 13.2).Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2003Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Schaeffler KGInventor: Jan Klindworth

Patent number: 7303499Abstract: A device for adjusting two parts (2, 3) relative to one another, other than for a displacing device which is provided displacing a camshaft. The adjusting device is smooth and easy to operate, is self-locking, and ensures a backlash-free, continuous displacement of the two parts with a high degree of efficiency. The device includes a first part (2) having webs (2.3, 22.3) which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction and between which chambers (2.4) are provided, a second part (3) having an internal toothing (3.2, 13.2), and several teeth (7, 27) that are disposed at a distance from each other in the circumferential direction within the chambers and have an inner contact area (7.4) for resting against an eccentric drive member (6) as well as an outer contact area (7.5) for engagement with the internal toothing (3.2, 13.2). Rotary movements can be performed by the teeth (7, 27) located within the chambers (2.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2003Date of Patent: December 4, 2007Inventor: Jan Klindworth

Patent number: 6135558Abstract: A motor vehicle seat includes a backrest, a seat cushion and a coupling mechanism movably coupling the seat cushion to the backrest. The backrest is foldable between an erected seating position and a folded sleeping position. The seat cushion is movable between a retracted seating position and an extended sleeping position. The coupling mechanism couples mechanically the seat cushion to the backrest such that the folding of the backrest from the erected seating position to the folded sleeping position causes displacement of the seat cushion from the retracted seating position to the extended sleeping position. In the extended position, the seat cushion is substantially horizontally aligned with the backrest in the folded sleeping position.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1999Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: Bertrand Faure Sitztechnik GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Meinhard Behrens, Jan Klindworth

Patent number: 6126238Abstract: A head rest (35) for a vehicle seat is vertically adjustable relative to a back rest (36) of the vehicle seat. The head rest (35) is fixed on supporting rods (37, 38) which are longitudinally displaceable in a fixed reception (40) arranged in the back rest (36). A clamping element (10) locks the head rest (35) in a defined position relative to the reception. According to the invention, the supporting rods (37 and 38) are prevented from being pushed inwards during an accident by the fact that the locking element (10) is configured as an overrunning clutch(22, 16, 26) acting in a linear direction of movement which, in a locked position, prevents at least one (38) of the supporting rods from being pushed into the reception (40), and the locking element can be locked and unlocked by an actuating element.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1999Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: INA Walzlager Schaeffler oHGInventor: Jan Klindworth
