Abstract: The invention relates to a securing device (1; 101) for a motor vehicle, having a front hood (2, 102) and a hood lock (3, 103) with a lock holder (10, 110). The hood lock (3, 103) has a rotary latch (4, 104) with a pre-locking position and a main locking position and an electric drive (5, 105) which causes a switchover of the rotary latch (4, 104) from the main locking position into the pre-locking position. In the main locking position, a release of the lock holder (10, 110) is blocked, and the front hood (2, 102) is closed. In the pre-locking position, the lock holder (10, 110) can be manually moved between a closed position, in which the lock holder (10, 110) is engaged with the rotary latch (4, 104) and the front hood (2, 102) is locked, and an open position, in which the lock holder (10, 110) is released from the rotary latch (4, 104) and the front hood (2, 102) is unlocked.

Abstract: An opening device for a motor vehicle latch with a trigger which can be moved from a starting position into an opening position for pivoting of a triggering lever from a starting position into an opening position and which is connected with an inertia component by a deflectable knee lever, with a blockade lever, which can be moved by deflection of the knee lever from a starting position into a blocking position, whereby the movement of the triggering lever into the opening position is prevented when the blockade lever is in its blocking position, whereby the knee lever is deflected by excessive acceleration of the trigger and the blockade lever is thus moved into its blocking position.

Abstract: A safety device for a motor vehicle includes a bonnet with an open and closed position, a bonnet lock with a lock retainer and a rotary latch, and an electric drive which shifts the rotary latch from a main locking position into a preliminary locking position. The lock retainer has an actuator, wherein in a first position of the actuator and in the preliminary locking position of the rotary latch, the lock retainer engages with the rotary latch and the bonnet is locked, and in a second position of the actuator, the lock retainer is released by the rotary latch and the bonnet is unlocked. The bonnet is coupled to the actuator such that in the preliminary locking position of the rotary latch a displacement of the bonnet towards the closed position of the bonnet causes a displacement of the actuator from the first position into the second position.

There is at least one sensor assigned to the motor vehicle door. Furthermore, as a function of signals from the sensor, the control unit actuates the locking device for locking the motor vehicle door. The locking device applies a preferably variable braking torque to the motor vehicle door, taking into account a braking start predetermined by the control unit.

Abstract: With the case of a vehicle seat, in particular for motor vehicles, consisting of individual structural components that include a seat and a seat back, the latter with connecting joint fittings that may be locked at a desired incline to the seat and swung around a swivel pin running in the transverse direction of the seat, the joint fittings (5) can be chosen from at least two groups, including one from gear fittings and the other from groove fittings (5).

Abstract: The articulated fitting has a stationary articulated part associated with the seat part and a swivelable articulated part associated with the backrest. These articulated parts are connected with one another via an adjusting shaft. An adjusting and locking device which is constructed as a gear unit and determines the position of the two articulated parts relative to one another is provided. The adjusting shaft has an eccentric portion for supporting one articulated part, this eccentric portion being formed by two wedge segments which are inclined relative to one another and engage regions of a driver of the adjusting shaft, by a driver arm engaging between the narrow sides of the wedge segments, and by a torsion spring which spreads apart the broad sides of the wedge segments with its spring legs. Therefore, the invention minimizes the play occurring between the driver arm and wedge segments as a result of operation and manufacture.
