Patent number: 11703204Abstract: An air guide is provided for cooling an illumination device of a vehicle. A single, essentially rigid air channel with an air inlet opening and at least one air outlet opening is provided. The air inlet opening is allocated to a blower and the at least one air outlet opening is allocated to at least one chamber or at least one chamber area of the illumination device. In order to improve the cooling of an illumination device of a vehicle, air channel is a free-form air channel, where the flow resistance of the free-form channel between the air inlet opening and each of the at least one air outlet opening is designed to be so low as to make it possible to deploy a blower in the form of an axial fan.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Hella GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20230175288Abstract: An example lock apparatus includes a shackle including an engagement portion, and a lock head operable to selectively engage the engagement portion to thereby retain the lock apparatus in a closed condition. The lock head includes a housing, a slider, and a detent mechanism. The slider is mounted for sliding movement relative to the housing between a first position and a second position. One of the first position or the second position is a closed position in which the slider prevents removal of the engagement portion from the lock head, and the other of the first position or the second position is an open position in which the slider permits removal of the engagement portion from the lock head. The detent mechanism is configured to selectively resist movement of the slider from the first position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Joerg Sieme, Arno Winter

Publication number: 20220324529Abstract: An exemplary mounting bracket is configured for releasably securing a bicycle lock to a bicycle, and generally includes a housing, a pair of opposing arms, a pinion, a latch, and a manual actuator. The arms are movably mounted to the housing for movement between inward positions and outward positions, and each arm includes a rack gear. The pinion is engaged with each rack gear and correlates movement of the arms such that the arms move with one another between the outward positions and the inward positions. The latch has a latching position in which the latch is operable to maintain the arms in the inward position, and has an unlatching position in which the arms are free to move from the inward position to the outward position. The manual actuator is operable to move the latch between the latching position and the unlatching position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2019Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Joerg Sieme, Arno Winter, Ramamohan Bhaskar Shettigar
