A door actuator linkage includes a lever extending along a longitudinal axis, which merges into a linkage head with an offset, wherein the linkage head is formed for rotationally fixed mounting on an output shaft of a door actuator, wherein a free space for cable routing is formed by the offset. The free space is delimited by the linkage head and by an offset surface of the lever, wherein the lever protrudes up to an imaginary boundary surface, which is defined perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The offset surface is withdrawn partially from this boundary surface in order to expand the free space.

A power supply device for a vehicle window includes a carrier plate including a first electrical connection portion to transmit power, a bracket including a second electrical connection portion to which external power is connected, and a flexible connection means including a side electrically connected to the first electrical connection portion of the carrier plate and another side electrically connected to the second electrical connection portion of the bracket, in which the side of the flexible connection means is pivotally connected to the first electrical connection portion and the other side thereof is pivotally connected to the second electrical connection portion.

A method for making an electric hinge comprising providing first and second hinge plates, each hinge plate having at least one knuckle and forming in each hinge plate an open slot extending from an edge distal from the knuckle and terminating at a mid-portion of the hinge plate to the knuckle. The open slot depth is less than the thickness of the hinge plate. The method includes drilling a hole from the terminus of each open slot to the knuckle of the hinge plate and passing a wire through the hole from the terminus of the open slot to the knuckle in the first hinge plate and from the knuckle of the second hinge plate to the corresponding terminus of the second hinge plate. The method includes mating the first and second hinge plates by inserting a hinge pin through the knuckle of each hinge plate to form the electric hinge.

A motor vehicle lock with a locking mechanism and a lock housing structure, a motorized drive arrangement to actuate a mechanical lock component, a control unit for the actuation of the drive arrangement, and an energy storage arrangement for the electric voltage supply of the drive arrangement and/or the control unit being provided in or on the lock housing structure. The lock housing structure has an inner housing part attached to the locking mechanism and the drive arrangement, a housing cover for closing an upper side of the inner housing part, and, between the inner housing part and the housing cover, a control housing part including a control board of the control unit and the energy storage arrangement, and leadframe lines extending at least in sections along the board plane and connected electrically via the leadframe lines of the leadframe to the control board and drive arrangement.

Disclosed is an operator for a garage door including one or more cameras. The operator consists of a motor, a traction mechanism connected with the motor, a door connected with the traction mechanism, wherein operation of the motor causes the traction mechanism to open and/or close the door and wherein the door is located in a doorway, a controller operatively connected with the motor to open and close the door, an imaging system connected with the controller and positioned to collect image data, and a communication system connected with the controller, the communication system adapted to send data, including image data, from the controller and to communicate command signals to the controller, wherein image data is sent to a remote user device and command signals are received from the remote user device. The controller is also connected to one or more lock actuators that can lock and unlock the garage door as well as one or more man doors. Image data is used to control operation of the door, to lock and unlock the door in response to event, such as the delivery of a package, and lock and unlock the man doors to allow access to a dwelling and to secure the dwelling.

A foldable modular wall system includes a track, one or more stationary wall modules, and one or more foldable wall modules. The foldable wall modules are pivotally and slidably connected to the track such that the foldable wall modules can be selectively moved between a closed confirmation and an open configuration. The foldable modular wall system can also include power hinge jumpers through which electrical wires can nm to power electronic components embedded in or disposed on the foldable wall modules.

A device for fastening and electrical contacting of a vehicle window pane with an integrated electrical functional element. The device includes a pane adapter fixed on the window pane; a pane holder that couples the pane adapter with a vehicle body; a pane-side plug that establishes electrical contact with the functional element when the window pane is assembled; and a pane-side coupling shoe for mounting the pane-side plug on the window pane. The device further includes a mating plug that couples with the pane-side plug to provide electrical contact of the functional element to a control unit. The pane adapter, the pane-side coupling shoe, the pane holder, and a plug holder that supports the mating plug, are kinematically coupled so that during assembly of the window pane using the pane adapter on the pane holder, the pane-side plug is connected to the mating plug.

The invention relates to electrically switchable motor vehicle glazing, such as a side or rear window pane of a motor vehicle, wherein at least one optical property can be changed by feeding an electrical signal through a line arranged on a window-pane holder of the motor-vehicle glazing, wherein an open-loop or closed-loop control unit for feeding the electrical signal is provided in a housing, which is arranged in a stationary manner in relation to a motor-vehicle body.

Provided is an electric power supply device in which exposure of a wire harness can be reduced in a slide door and interference with door trim can be minimized. When a slide door is half opened, a wire harness bends convexly downward, and one portion thereof is positioned lower than when the slide door is fully open or fully closed. Specifically, the wire harness is bent three-dimensionally. This makes it easier for the wire harness to be pulled out from a bottom end of door trim, and makes it possible for interference between the wire harness and the door trim to be minimized. The wire harness may be also bent three-dimensionally as appropriate in accordance with a shape of the door trim, reducing exposure of the wire harness in the slide door.

Disclosed is a door system comprising: at least one travelable door element; at least one running rail for guiding the door element; and at least one light barrier element for detecting a free travel path of the door element, wherein the at least one running rail has a cut-out at or in which the at least one light barrier element is fastened.
