  • Patent number: 12151598
    Abstract: A lock unit for a vehicle, having a carrier, a locking element, an arresting element, pivotable on the carrier between an arresting position and an unlocking position and, in its arresting position, arrests the locking element, in the locking position, not adjustable to the release position and, in its unlocking position, allows adjustment of the locking element from the locking position to the release position, and an actuating element, adjustable on the carrier within an adjustment region and configured to pivot the arresting element from the arresting position towards unlocking position. The actuating element is coupled to the arresting element via a coupling mechanism, so that an adjustment movement of the actuating element is converted into a pivoting movement of the arresting element towards the locking position of the latter, only in part of the adjustment region of the actuating element.

  • Publication number: 20240286588
    Abstract: A brake pedal module for a brake-by-wire braking system of a vehicle is disclosed, with a carrier component for attaching the brake pedal module to the vehicle, a brake pedal mounted pivotably on the carrier component, a feedback unit which, to generate a resistance on actuation of the brake pedal, is mechanically coupled at one end to the brake pedal and at the other end to the carrier module, and a sensor unit for detecting a braking request of a driver and having at least one sensor for detecting an actuation travel. The sensor unit is attached to the carrier component at the side of the brake pedal such that the sensor is arranged on a pivot bearing of the brake pedal.

  • Publication number: 20240227634
    Abstract: It is provided an adjustment device for a vehicle seat, comprising an output element to which a drive torque can be transferred, and a brake assembly for locking the output element and absorbing, via at least two brake elements adjustably mounted in a brake housing of the brake assembly, forces applied to the output element on the output side, wherein locking, provided via the brake assembly, of the output element can be released in order to rotate the output element in a direction of rotation when a drive torque is applied on the drive side, and, in order to lock the output element, the brake elements are in a locking position in which, when forces are applied on the output side via the output element and are acting in a direction of rotation, at least one of the brake elements bears frictionally against a brake surface of the brake housing.

  • Publication number: 20240059195
    Abstract: It is provided a locking device, comprising: a rotary latch pivotally mounted on a housing between a locking position and an unlocking position, a blocking element movable between a blocking position and a release position, by which the rotary latch is blocked in the locking position when the blocking element is arranged in the blocking position, and a driving device that can be activated for moving the blocking element from the blocking position into the release position. There is provided an unlocking element that is pivotally mounted on the housing independently of the driving device and is adapted to urge the blocking element from the blocking position into the release position.

  • Publication number: 20220410771
    Abstract: The proposed solution relates to a lock unit for a vehicle, comprising a carrier (1), a locking element (2) pivotable on the carrier (1) between a locking position and a release position, an arresting element (3) pivotable on the carrier (1) between an arresting position and an unlocking position, which in its arresting position arrests the locking element (2) present in the locking position against an adjustment into the release position and in its unlocking position permits an adjustment of the locking element (2) from the locking position into its release position, and an actuating element (6) adjustable on the carrier (1) within an adjustment range for pivoting the arresting element (3) from the arresting position in the direction of the unlocking position.
