  • Patent number: 8176679
    Abstract: A gear mechanism part for a cable-controlled window lifter is provided that includes a gear wheel and a cable drum that can be driven by the gear wheel. The gear wheel and cable drum are disposed on a common axis. The gear wheel and the cable drum are coupled by a positive fit to an outside gearing disposed on an outside circumference projection. In the cable drum, a fitting chamber for cable end fastening is provided. The fitting chamber is disposed inside the outer circumference projection on a cross-sectional plane projected perpendicular to the axis. In this way, a more compact design of the cable drum and transmission of higher driving torque are achieved.

  • Patent number: 6956303
    Abstract: An electronic control device for controlling electric units of motor vehicle doors which have different equipment. The control device is formed by at least one printed circuit board, including electronic components which are arranged in a housing and can be contacted to a cable assembly using plug-in connectors. The device includes at least one zone of the printed circuit board with an identical assembly of components that can be used for at least two variants of the motor-vehicle-door equipment, the printed circuit board having a reduced component assembly for at least one of the equipment variants. The printed circuit board of one equipment variant is spatially integrated into a housing of a unit which is to be controlled, while the printed circuit board of another equipment variant is located in a separate housing.
