Abstract: A driving device for a folding top and/or a folding top compartment lid of a motor vehicle comprises an adjusting linkage and a driving motor. For compensating relatively large tolerances and concept-caused compensating lifts, the adjusting linkage has an adjusting element which, on one end, has a tolerance compensating element. A spring-supported and length-compensating tension/compression element is arranged on the other end of the adjusting element.

Abstract: An arrangement for the active adjustment of a motor vehicle wheel includes a device which has an adjusting element and in which the suspension links, independently of this device, are linked below and/or above a wheel spin axis to a wheel carrier and are pivotally held on the vehicle body. The device has an adjusting element which is connected with the wheel carrier by means of a tie rod. For forced wheel position adjustments as a function of driving parameters, the adjusting element can be adjusted about a swivel axis formed below the wheel spin axis by a wheel-carrier-side tie rod joint and a wheel-carrier-side link joint.

Abstract: A wheel suspension system for a motor vehicle is described for influencing wheel movement during suspension operations by a positively guided wheel suspension link which can be swivelled on the vehicle body about an axis formed by link bearings and, by way of bearings, is supported on the wheel carrier in an articulated manner. The wheel suspension link is linked to the wheel carrier by bridge elements forming coupling squares which are set at an angle with respect to one another with respect to a perpendicular wheel center longitudinal plane. Longitudinal planes extending through the bridge elements intersect with one another approximately in the perpendicular longitudinal center plane and approximately at the level of the wheel contact surface. Because of the linkage of the wheel suspension link on the wheel carrier by the bridge elements forming coupling squares, during suspension movements of the wheel, essentially only a track change of the wheel can take place.

Abstract: A wheel suspension for a wheel carrier of the front wheels of a motor vehicle is pivotally connected to an upper and a lower transverse link as well as a spring-and-damper element which is connected with either the upper or lower transverse link and is supported at the vehicle body. The spring-and-damper element is supported in a bearing on a bearing lever located between the upper and the lower transverse link. This bearing lever is pivotally attached to one of the transverse links and during suspension movements is guided by way of a control lever pivotally attached to the vehicle body. By means of the variable arrangement of the lower support point of the spring-and-damper element, an arrangement is achieved which is advantageous with respect to space while optimizing the damper transmission ratio is good.
