  • Patent number: 6752036
    Abstract: The invention relates to a setting device for an adjustable gearing mechanism, in particular, for selecting a parking position in an automatic transmission. The inventive setting device comprises a mechanical setting element, an intermediate gearing mechanism for transferring the setting motion of the setting element to a control element of the adjustable gearing mechanism.

  • Patent number: 6616486
    Abstract: The configuration makes electrical contact with an electric valve, in particular a shift or pressure regulating valve for automatic transmissions of motor vehicles. The configuration is equipped with a contact spring element arranged outside a valve housing of the electric valve. In the assembled state, the contact spring element acts on an exposed opposing contact element of a wiring element under spring pressure. For this purpose, the contact spring element has a pressing section with a rounded bearing surface and the mutual contact surfaces on the spring element and on the wiring element are tinned.

  • Patent number: 6570773
    Abstract: An integrated motor vehicle control unit has a metallic base plate and a housing lid which is coupled thereto in an oil-tight fashion. A flexible printed circuit board makes contact with an electronic circuit of the control unit, extends on the base plate and is led out of the control unit between the housing lid and the base plate. A printed circuit board carrier structure continues the base plate in a planar fashion and permits the position of the flexible printed circuit board outside the control unit to be selectively influenced.
