Abstract: A safety device with two conveying systems in the sheet feeder of a machine, capable of processing a sheet-shaped material. An objective of the invention is to construct a generic sheet feeder for large-format machines so that only stacks with a specified maximum weight can reach the processing stage. The present invention encompasses a weighing device (22, 28) located in the sheet feeder (1), which determines the weight of the stack (4), is positioned on the stack carrier (3) and is connected with a regulating and controlling device (19) controlling the driving mechanism (8). At least one permissible total weight is stored in the regulating and controlling device (19). The regulating and controlling device (19) compares the weight of the stack with said stored permissible total weight and the driving mechanism (8) is activated only if the weight of the stack does not exceed the permissible total weight.

Abstract: A transmission (8) for a motor vehicle (2) with a housing (26) and a shifting apparatus arranged therein and with an electromechanical transmission actuator (24) with a first electric motor (32) for exercising a selection motion of the shifting device with a second electric motor (34) for exercising a shifting motion of the shifting apparatus and with a control unit (22) for receiving sensor signals, for processing the sensor signals and for emitting control signals to the electric motors (32, 34) the axis of rotation of the first electric motor (32) and the axis of rotation of the second electric motor (34) lie parallel to each other.

Abstract: A mobile vehicle comprising a shiftable transmission with fixed gear ratio steps and a controllable friction clutch contains a distance sensor, which is connected to an inch pedal and in which the starting position and the end position of the inch pedal are adjusted by an electronic control unit and allocated to an inch effect from 0% to 100%. Due to the electronic adjusting process of the inch pedal path via the inch effect and the service brake, the intersecting time between the service brake and the actuating force of the clutch can be adjusted. The driving comfort of the vehicle is increased and the risk of damage to the multi-disk clutch is reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gearbox (8) for a vehicle (2), comprising a housing (26) and a gear-shifting device which is arranged inside the housing. Said gearbox also comprises an electromechanical actuator (24) having a first electric motor (32) for performing a selection movement of the gear-shifting device, a second electric motor (34) for performing a gear-shifting movement of the gear-shifting device, and a control system (22) for receiving sensor signals, for processing said sensor signals and for transmitting control signals to the electric motors (32, 34). The rotational axis of the first electric motor (32) and the rotational axis of the second electric motor (34) are parallel.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for reducing wheel slippage of a motor vehicle with at least one axle (2), on the ends of which steerable wheels (7, 8) are rotatingly placed, and with at least one axle (1, 2) on which wheels (5, 6, 7, 8) are driven by a differential drive (3, 4), whereby, in case of a wheel slip of one of the wheels of a driven axle (1, 2), a brake (16, 17) assigned thereto or a differential slip control is activated and controlled.

Abstract: A sitting section of a vehicle seat which provides comfort for an occupant of the seat and affords protection against the occupant sliding forwards in the event of a crash, the sitting section having a frame with a seat shell having a selected natural vibration and a forward arched section and a section rearward of the arched section which is adapted to oscillate freely and is reinforced with corrugations, the seat shell sloping downwards towards the rear at an angle of about 15.degree., and the seat shell having relatively thin upholstery fitted thereover.

Abstract: A tilt-away system for front seats of vehicles for permitting the entire front seat to be moved as far as possible out of the entry and exit region of the vehicle includes a seat frame front support assembly including a support stand which supports the front portion of the seat frame, a seat frame rear support assembly including link arms on each side of the seat frame, the link arms having forward ends pivotally secured to travellers which are displaceably mounted in rails and rearward ends connected to the rearward portion of the seat frame and being locked in a use position for the seat by a link arm locking mechanism, the link arms being adapted to be pivoted forwardly and upwardly to tilt the seat forwardly after it has been moved forwardly on the rails to a position intermediate the use and access positions, and a release mechanism for releasing the front portion of the seat frame from the support stand and the link arm locking mechanism in one operation so that the front seat can be moved forward to th

Abstract: Running rails for securing a motor vehicle seat to a motor vehicle and permitting fore and aft movement of the seat in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, including cooperating upper and lower rails each consisting only one profiled member, the lower rail having a generally U-shaped cross section with upwardly extending limbs having upper ends which are bent over forming inwardly extending arcuate parts which define first portions of first and second ball bearing raceways, the upper rail having a wedge shaped portion defining second portions of the first and second ball bearing raceways, and bottom web portions of the upper and lower rails being spaced apart defining a track for roller bearings.

Abstract: A self-pumping hydropneumatic shock absorbing strut for a vehicle with internal level regulation for adjustment toward a standard elevation of the vehicle body capable of operating on a standing vehicle without a separate extenal supply of energy. For this purpose, the working chamber of the shock absorbing strut is connected to a higher pressure reservoir which is mounted external to the working cylinder and has a flow passage to the working cylinder. The flow passage is provided with a check valve which can be released or opened when the elevation of the vehicle is significantly below the standard elevation. During the release or opening of the check valve, the flow passage is open to allow free flow in both directions. A pressure equilibrium between the higher pressure oil reservoir and a pressurized oil chamber normally connected to the working cylinder causes the adjustment toward the standard elevation.

Abstract: Self-pumping hydropneumatic shock absorbing leg with internal level regulation, in which the dampening force can be controlled and continuously adjusted during operation of a vehicle. For this purpose, the work piston of the shock absorber is provided with a check valve, whereby a passage runs from one work chamber to an adjustable dampening valve, and from this damping valve, a flow connection runs directly or indirectly via at least one additional check valve into the other work chamber and into a circulation passage which forms a connection to the high pressure chamber.

Abstract: A back rest for a vehicle seat is adjustable in its angle of inclination about a pivot axis running in the direction lateral to the back can also be folded about a folding axis lying parallel to the pivot axis to facilitate access to the rear seat of the vehicle by releasing folding locks which are provided on respective sides of the back rest. The folding locks are provided with a locking member which is movable between a locking position and a release position. Each locking member is connected with one end of a cable, the other end of which is connected with an activating device arranged on the supporting portions of the back rest. The activating device has a support for a bolt, the support being immovable relative to the back rest. A double-armed pivot lever is arranged on the bolt, and the two arms of the lever are connected with respective cores of the cables at a distance from the rotational axis of the lever.
