  • Publication number: 20120280555
    Abstract: A seat component for a seat, in particular a vehicle seat, is provided. The seat component is connectable with an actuating shaft such that a rotary movement of the actuating shaft can be transmitted to the seat component, in order to e.g. provide for swiveling a first vehicle part of a vehicle seat relative to a second vehicle part of the vehicle seat. Preferably, swiveling of a backrest is permitted relative to a seat part with a seating surface. The seat component furthermore includes a cutout for connection with an actuating shaft, which is formed and provided for a positive engagement of a shaft portion of the actuating shaft. In accordance with the invention it is provided that the cutout furthermore is formed such that one of at least two shaft portions with different cross-sectional profiles each selectively can positively be held in the cutout.

  • Publication number: 20120100442
    Abstract: An oxygen-consuming electrode includes a support in the form of a sheet-like structure and a coating including a gas diffusion layer and a catalytically active component, wherein the support is based on a material having a conductivity of less than 1000 S/cm, measured at 20° C. The supports are simple to produce and have a low weight and good processability in the production of the oxygen-consuming electrodes.

  • Patent number: 7424940
    Abstract: An adjustment device for producing a two-sided rotational movement for window lifters and seat adjusters in motor vehicles, containing a drive element; an angle-shifting element with a hollow cylindrical bearing surface, driven by actuation of the drive element; a driven element; a coupling arranged in the power flux between the drive element and the driven element, transmitting an adjustment movement of the drive element exclusively to the driven element when the drive element is moved from a neutral initial position in one direction or another, in addition to a brake lock arranged between the driven element and the output element, blocking torque introduced on the output side; in addition to a reset device which returns the drive element to a neutral initial position. The coupling is provided with a reinforcing lever, which is actively connected to the drive element.
