A method for operating a motor vehicle door, according to which method the motor vehicle door is equipped, for example, with an actuator and/or a motor vehicle door lock in the form of a current consumer, and at least one sensor for detecting door movements. In addition, a control unit that evaluates signals from the sensor is provided which can be transferred from a rest mode into an operating mode and back again according to the recorded door movements. According to the invention, the door movement causes the sensor that is deenergised in the rest mode to generate a current pulse.

A slide door routing structure includes a flexible conductor electrically connecting a vehicle body side and a slide door having a slide portion guided by a guide unit provided on the vehicle body side and crossing a trajectory space through which the slide portion passes and a plate-shaped elastic body disposed along the conductor. A cross-sectional shape of the plate-shaped elastic body is a curved shape in which a first surface is a concave surface, and the plate-shaped elastic body is held such that a first curved portion is formed at a part crossing the trajectory space. Second curved portions are generated in the plate-shaped elastic body while the slide door moves from one to the other of a fully closed position and a fully open position.

A door hinge includes first and second leaves each with a plate portion, a free edge and an opposite geared edge, the geared edges meshing with each other as the leaves operationally pivot. Each leaf has a front surface and an opposite back surface. A cap covers the meshed geared edges on the back surface and defines a pivot axis for each of the leaves, the cap defining a channel A recess is provided in the front surface of each leaf, the recesses being in communication with the channel, each recess defining a break in the geared edges. First and second access panels are removably secured in the recesses, having a geared panel edge complementary with the leaf geared edge and filling the break, and at least one of the access panels being secured to the respective hinge leaf by security fasteners extending only into the leaf.

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.

A revolving door assembly is disclosed. The assembly comprises a central column and at least one door panel connected to the central column and rotatably arranged around a central axis (X). The central column comprises a support structure and a drive unit including a motor an oscillating gear arranged to rotate said at least one door panel around said central axis (X). The support structure comprises a non-rotating member extending through the gear and is arranged to be mounted to a bottom restriction of an opening in which the revolving door assembly is to be installed. The central column comprises at least one bearing arranged to rotatably support said at least one door panel. The motor and the bearing are mounted to the support structure. Also disclosed is a driving base unit for a revolving door assembly.

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.

A revolving door assembly is disclosed. The door comprises a central column and at least one door panel connected to the central column and rotatably arranged around a central axis (X). The central column comprises a drive unit. The drive unit comprises a motor and an oscillating gear. The oscillating gear comprises at least one rod through hole. A non-rotating support rod passes through the rod through hole and supports the motor. Also disclosed is a driving base unit for a revolving door assembly.

The present invention relates to a domestic appliance, particularly a cooking oven, comprising a chassis and a door hinged to the chassis at a rotating axis of the door, wherein the door comprises at least one door panel, at least one door frame attached at an inner side of the door panel, at least one electric or electronic unit attached inside or at the door, at least one electrically conducting cable for interconnecting the electric or electronic unit to a control unit arranged at or in the chassis of the domestic appliance, at least one cable channel attached or attachable to the door frame for guiding a first section of the cable, and at least one cable tube arranged within the region of a rotating axis of the door for guiding a second section of the cable from the door frame to the chassis, wherein the cable tube comprises a main section, and a first end section for connecting the cable tube to the hinge-sided end of the door and a second end section for connecting the cable tube to the chassis, wherein the main section is connecting the first end section the second end section, and wherein at least one of the first end section and/or the second end section configured to be freely pivotable relative to a rotational axis (y) running essentially in parallel to the main section.

A device for at least partially automatically actuating a door leaf, includes a drive having a drive axis of rotation for driving the door leaf at least partially during a movement between an opening position and a closing position, a casing element having a casing axis of rotation for assisting a movement of the door leaf, lever kinematics having at least one lever arm for establishing an operative connection between the drive and the casing element. The lever arm includes a drive-sided connection section, which is supported to be rotationally movable around the drive axis of rotation. The lever kinematics includes at least one transmission component for transferring electric energy and/or data between at least one casing-sided energy source and a drive-sided energy recipient.
