  • Patent number: 12169021
    Abstract: An actuator to set a park lock of an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle has a drive (2) driving a drive shaft (1), a first actuating element (3) operatively connected to the drive shaft (1) for actuating a switching device, a spring element (5), which is supported on one side on a housing component (16) of the actuator, and on the other side on a second actuating element (17) designed to load the spring element (5). The actuator also has an electromagnetic retaining device (32) with an electromagnet (50) which interacts magnetically with a magnetic armature (52) comprising a ferromagnetic material component to retain the spring element (5) which is under loading, building up a spring return force. The magnetic armature (52) is mounted tiltably and/or pivotably on a pivot component (55) of the retaining device (32).

  • Patent number: 10603989
    Abstract: A multi function bracket for use in a motor vehicle door with a carrier, and an elastic seal arranged in a window guide for being compressed by a window pane, the carrier comprising a lock receptacle for fastening a motor vehicle lock, and the multi function bracket further comprising a motor vehicle lock fastened to the lock receptacle. The multi function bracket is characterized in that, a compensation section of the elastic seal is compressed between a counter structure of the multi function bracket and the motor vehicle lock to provide tolerance compensation between the carrier and the motor vehicle lock.

  • Patent number: 10513366
    Abstract: A packaging container may include a top part with a pouring spout for pouring the contents of the container. The packaging container may further include a tubular body part with an upper end and a lower end, the upper end being joined together with the top part along a circumferential edge of the upper end of the body part. The body part may further include a first group of crease lines extending from a lower end of the body part towards its upper end. The top part may include a recessed portion, the recessed portion and the first group visually forming one surface. A surface near the interface area between the first group of crease lines and the recessed portion of the top part may provide gripping support for one or more fingers of a hand when the packaging container is held by the hand and the remaining fingers while pouring the contents from the packaging container.
