  • Publication number: 20220169116
    Abstract: A pedal for a motor vehicle is provided, having a pedal arm with at least one first resetting spring and with a friction system comprising a separate friction element and a friction surface of the base part corresponding to the separate friction element. The friction system features a rocker arranged in a rotatable manner on the base part and the at least one first resetting spring is arranged between the separate friction element and the rocker. The separate friction element is connected in a pressure-transmitting manner with the pedal arm by the at least one first resetting spring and at least one connection element. At least one second resetting spring is arranged between one bearing part connected in a pressure-transmitting manner with the pedal arm by the at least one connection element and the base part or the rocker.

  • Patent number: 11091032
    Abstract: In order to provide a pedal for a motor vehicle in which restoration of the pedal arm to its rest position is improved, it is proposed that a friction system has a rocker and the first return spring is disposed between the separate friction element and the rocker such that when the pedal arm moves in the direction of its maximum actuation position, the rocker is pressed against a friction surface of the separate friction elements in a friction force-generating manner, wherein the separate friction element is connected to the pedal arm in a compressive force-transmitting manner by means of the at least one first return spring, a bearing part for a second return spring, and a connecting element, and wherein the second return spring is disposed between the bearing part and the base part or the bearing part and the rocker.

  • Patent number: 8411139
    Abstract: A microscope system includes a microscope, a digital camera and a computer system. The microscope has an automatically adjustable subassembly having an adjustable element. The digital camera acquires image data of an image of a specimen. The computer system has a display and a storage unit configured to store the image data and to store, associated with the image data, data defining a setting of the automatically adjustable subassembly corresponding to the image data.

  • Publication number: 20070091324
    Abstract: The invention relates to a microscope system and to a method for operating a microscope system. The microscope system comprises a microscope (2) which has at least one automatically adjustable structural component. The structural component is provided with at least one adjustable element. Also provided are a digital camera (25) for entering image data of an image of a sample (40) that is to be analyzed and a computer system (4) having at least one display (6) and at least one storage unit (9). Data is also assigned to the image data of the at least one image in the storage unit (9), said data enabling adjustment of the microscope (2) in correspondence with the adjustment of the image data stored in the data storage (9).
