  • Publication number: 20230184018
    Abstract: A drive for adjusting an adjustment element of a motor vehicle, the drive including a hollow cylinder, a rod guided axially therein, two articulated parts configured to provide linear drive movements to the motor vehicle and form a drive connection to the adjustment element and the rest of the motor vehicle. The one articulated part axially fixed to a first component of the components of the drive unit and the other articulated part axially fixed to a second component of the components of the drive unit in the installed state. The drive has a drive spring assembly including a drive spring acting on the articulated parts. In the installed state, at least one of the components of the drive unit is axially fixed to a securing element by a threaded connection, and the securing element projects radially into an axial projection of a spring material of the drive spring assembly.

  • Patent number: 11299923
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a drive arrangement for a closure element of a motor vehicle which has an electrical motor vehicle on-board power system, wherein an electric drive for motorized adjustment of the closure element is provided, wherein the drive is assigned a coupling arrangement by which the drive can be actuated electrically. It is proposed that at least one cableless transmission path, in particular to an on-board-power-system-side coupling arrangement, via which the drive can be actuated, can be generated by the drive-side coupling arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20190024427
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a drive arrangement of a flap arrangement of a vehicle, wherein the flap arrangement has a flap which can be displaced between an open position and a closed position, wherein the drive arrangement has two mechanical drive connections for the technical drive connection of the drive arrangement and a helical spring arrangement for producing a total resilient force between the two drive connections. It is proposed that the helical spring arrangement have at least one integral helical spring element, in particular a helical compression spring element, having a helical spring axis, that a displacement, in particular a closure displacement, of the flap be associated with a deflection of the helical spring element and that, in order to produce the curve progression of the total resilient force which has different curve gradients, the helical spring element has a progressive resilient behavior at least over a deflection portion.
