The present invention relates to a drive arrangement having a hinge which comprises a first hinge arm and a second hinge arm which can be rotated with respect to the first hinge arm about a hinge axis, wherein the first hinge arm is arranged by means of a bolt on a support means which is provided to support a torque when the hinge arms are rotated relative to one another, in that the bolt engages through an aperture in the first hinge arm and is fixed by means of an elastic press fit in a through-hole of the support means. The present invention additionally relates to a motor vehicle having such a drive arrangement, to a bolt for such a drive arrangement, and to a method for mounting the drive arrangement.

A movable door structure includes a bracket, a door panel, and an elastic element. The bracket disposed in a machine shell includes at least one curved slide rail including a first section and a second section communicating with each other. There is a bending angle between a first extension direction of the first section and a second extension direction of the second section. The door panel disposed on the bracket is suitable for sliding along the at least one curved slide rail. When the elastic element connected between an inner surface of the door panel and an abutment portion of the machine shell pushes against the door panel, so that the door panel is located at a first position, the door panel covers an opening of the machine shell, and an exterior surface of the door panel is aligned with an outer surface of the machine shell.

A hood for a vehicle is movable between an open position and a closed position for covering a vehicle compartment. The hood includes a hood body having an exterior facing surface and an interior facing surface. A first bracket attached to the interior facing surface of the hood body includes a bottom end having a downward opening slot a rotatable hinge attached to the vehicle in the vehicle compartment for moving the hood body between the open position and the closed position. A second bracket is attached to the vehicle in the vehicle compartment. The second bracket is attached to a distal end of the rotatable hinge and includes a weld stud extending laterally from a side of the second bracket. The first bracket is seated on the weld stud during installation of the hood.

A sliding door mounting system for a vehicle includes a center track configured to support a sliding door between open and closed positions. The center track member includes a first zone and a second zone with a first bend disposed therebetween at a first angle. The center track member further includes a third zone and a second bend disposed between the second zone and the third zone at a second angle. A support part includes first and second zones and a portion of the center track member is coupled to an outer surface of the support part. The first zone of the support part includes a first thickness, and the second zone of the support part includes a second thickness. The second thickness of the second zone increases from a first end to a second end thereof

The present invention relates to a drive arrangement having a hinge which comprises a first hinge arm and a second hinge arm which can be rotated with respect to the first hinge arm about a hinge axis, wherein the first hinge arm is arranged by means of a bolt on a support means which is provided to support a torque when the hinge arms are rotated relative to one another, in that the bolt engages through an aperture in the first hinge arm and is fixed by means of an elastic press fit in a through-hole of the support means. The present invention additionally relates to a motor vehicle having such a drive arrangement, to a bolt for such a drive arrangement, and to a method for mounting the drive arrangement.

A retaining device for a temporary connection to a hinge having an axis of rotation, including a holder assigned to a hinge member of the hinge. The holder includes a curved elongated hole and an eye. The eye is concentrically arranged to the axis of rotation. The eye includes an inner circumference for receiving a bolt defining the axis of rotation. The holder is configured as a one-piece part. The holder is detachable from the hinge and has a first side facing the hinge member. At least one projection extends from the first side of the holder and to an automobile hinge and to a method. A retaining device, an automobile hinge and a method provided by the at least one projection arranged directly adjacent to the inner circumference of the eye of the holder.

A profile rail for a door guide of a vehicle, comprises a first profile rail piece with a first end face and with a second end face, and a connecting piece. The connecting piece comprises a first end and a second end. The first end of the connecting piece comprises a first end-face connection region for connecting to the first profile rail piece. The connecting piece is designed as a separate profile rail piece. The connecting piece can be connected via the first end-face connection region to at least one end face of the first profile rail piece by means of a plug-in system. The first end-face connection region is arranged in a first connection plane which has a first angle to a first plane normal to an extension of the connecting piece.

A gate operator has one or more vertically adjustable idler sprockets that allow to correct for a vertical offset between a gate bracket and the idler sprockets. In preferred aspects, the idler sprockets and a motor of the gate operator are movably coupled to a mounting structure via respective mounting interfaces.

A drive of a sliding door of a motor vehicle, comprising an electric drive unit, a drive cable, a guide for the drive cable, the sliding door being movable relative to a body by operation of the drive cable, and a cable deflection having a deflection wheel which is rotatably mounted in the cable deflection, wherein the cable deflection is adjustable to adjust a position of the deflection wheel to adjust a tensile stress in the drive cable.

A fastening device for a vehicle window lifter, having at least one guide rail for slidable guidance of a carrier for a window glass, includes a pivot piece with a base body and two pivot pins which are formed thereon along a rotational axis and have two parallel planar surfaces. The pivot pin or each pivot pin has an axial notch. The guide rail has a connecting portion with mutually aligned pivot grooves for receiving and pivotably mounting the pivot pins of the pivot piece. A vehicle window lifter for adjusting a window glass of a motor vehicle, is also provided.
