A furniture drive for moving a furniture part movably supported relative to a furniture carcass the furniture drive includes a housing having a first housing wall to be fixed to the furniture carcass, and a second housing wall which is at least partially spaced from the first housing wall. At least the first housing wall includes at least one guide device for guiding a fastening means. At least one supporting body is configured so as to be separate from the at least one guide device for guiding the fastening means, at least partially surrounds the at least one guide device, and is firmly connected to the first housing wall as well as to the second housing wall so that a movement of the second housing wall relative to the first housing wall is restrained.

A hinge assembly for an engine hood of a motor vehicle, having a hinge substructure, which can be attached to a body component of the motor vehicle, and having a hinge upper part, which can be attached to the engine hood. The hinge upper part is retained on the hinge substructure so as to pivot about a pivoting axis. The hinge assembly includes at least one support element, which enables deformation of the hinge substructure in a first direction, in which the hinge substructure can be moved away from a limit stop area of the at least one support element. The at least one support element limits deformation of the hinge substructure in a second direction opposite the first direction by means of the limit stop area. Furthermore, the invention relates to a motor vehicle having at least one such hinge assembly.

A pivot sliding door guiding device includes a longitudinal profile with a guiding track and slider, supported on support rollers in a linearly movable manner in the guiding track, and which is connected to a door leaf and transfers a bearing load onto the slider. In the guiding track, convex bearing members extending in the longitudinal direction are disposed, on which support rollers of the slider with, in each case, peripherally extending concave guiding grooves roll and are retained in the transverse direction. The door leaf is connected to the slider whereby a center of gravity acts off-center on the slider in running and transverse directions. The slider has support rollers which serve for the load transfer of the load acting from the door leaf on the slider. The rollers roll on upper and lower convex bearing members, and transfer load of the door leaf via the convex bearing members.

A construction element includes a first wall, and a second wall. The walls are arranged at a distance from one another, forming a space wherein at least one non-concrete composite bar is arranged. Concrete is arranged in the space between the first wall, the second wall, and the composite bars.

An opening and closing device includes an upper arm and a lower arm spaced apart in an up-and-down direction and extend between a vehicle door and a vehicle body, a connecting member configured to connect a first end portion of the upper arm and a first end portion of the lower arm, a body-side upper hinge and a body-side lower hinge attached to the vehicle body so as to be spaced apart in the up-and-down direction and support the connecting member rotatably, a door-side upper hinge attached to an inner panel of the vehicle door to support a second end portion of the upper arm rotatably, and a door-side lower hinge attached to the inner panel of the vehicle door to support a second end portion of the lower arm rotatably.

A cap for mounting on a hinge is described. The cap includes: a body defining a first attaching portion for attaching the body to a hinge at a first location; a second attaching portion defined by the body for attaching the body to the hinge at a second location; and a channel defined by the body wherein the body is configured to secure a rod to the hinge by trapping the rod in the channel between the body and the hinge and the channel is located between the first and second attaching portions.

To provide a holder-equipped window glass capable of increasing the quality and productivity and capable of preventing breakage of the window glass to be caused by attachment of the holder, and a process for its production. A holder main body 18 is an integrally molded product comprising an inner layer portion 26 and an outer layer portion 28. The inner layer portion 26 is constructed to be U-shaped in cross section to clamp a part of a lower edge 12B of a window glass 12 in the thickness direction of the lower edge 12B. Further, the outer layer portion 28 is located outside the inner layer portion 26, is made of a material harder than the inner layer portion 26 and is constructed to be U-shaped in cross section. This outer layer portion 28 is provided with a connecting portion 16. This connection portion 16 is projecting in a direction departing form the lower edge 12B of the window glass 12.

A vehicle window regulator includes a slider base supported on a guide rail; a drive wire connected to the slider base; a wire guide supported at one end of the guide rail and having a winding part, onto which the drive wire is wound, at a position offset from the guide rail in a vehicle width direction; and a driver which raises and lowers the slider base via the drive wire. The wire guide is supported by the guide rail by a retainer and a pressing portion, the retainer engaged with the guide rail, and the pressing portion being engaged with the guide rail to press the guide rail toward the other end of the guide rail. The pressing portion is formed at a position toward the other end and formed at a position offset from the retainer toward the winding part.

A window lifter assembly for adjusting a vehicle window is provided. The window lifter assembly comprises a flexible traction element for transmitting an adjustment force for adjusting the vehicle window; a guiding element at which the flexible traction element is guided from a first direction towards a second direction; a carrier member made of plastic material and comprising a mounting region for the guiding element; and a reinforcement member made of a different material than the carrier member, which reinforcement member carries the guiding element and is at least partially embedded in the plastic material of the carrier member at the mounting region.
