A mounting mechanism for mounting a moveable bearing part relative to a counter-bearing part, including the moveable bearing part with a plurality of bearing elements, the counter-bearing part with counter-bearing elements which are locally moveable relative to the remaining counter-bearing part from a starting position into a deformation position and vice versa, wherein the bearing elements a contact surface each lie on a counter-contact surface of the counter-bearing elements each for the force transmission from the bearing elements to the counter-bearing elements so that the bearing elements are in mechanical operative connection with the counter-bearing elements because of the contact between bearing elements and the counter-bearing elements and a movement of the bearing part with the bearing elements causes a local relative movement of those counter-bearing elements from the starting position into the deformation position, which counter-bearing elements are in mechanical operative connection with the bearing elements and the local relative movement of the counter-bearing elements from the starting position into the deformation position causes an elastic deformation of elastic components and following the termination of the mechanical operative connection an elastic recovery of the elastic component causes a return movement of these counter-bearing elements from the deformation position into the starting position.

A flexible coupling and an actuator for shaft-driven structures are provided. The flexible coupling includes a first half coupling, a second half coupling and a flexible member connected between the first half coupling and the second half coupling. One end face of the flexible member is provided with at least two connection portions extending along the axial direction. The first half coupling includes a support portion configured to support the radially inner surface of each connection portion and first transmission portions configured to fill circumferential gaps between the connection portions. The second half coupling includes second transmission portions equal in number to the connection portions. The second transmission portions cover radially outer side surfaces of the connection portions in a one-to-one manner. The flexible coupling can prevent the flexible member from being disengaged from between the two half couplings during operation. The actuator includes the preceding flexible coupling.

Furniture including a furniture body with an opening, a furniture lid for closing the opening and defining a lid plane, and a lid fitting including: a base element fixed to a side wall of the furniture body, a pivot arm pivotally attached to the base element, a pivot-arm-side connecting element pivotably connected to the pivot arm, a lid-side connecting element which has a mounting surface arranged parallel to the lid plane and which can be mounted on the pivot-arm-side connecting element by movement relative to the pivot-arm-side connecting element in an assembly direction parallel to the mounting surface, a ramp surface on one of the two connecting elements, which is arranged at an angle to the mounting surface, and a sliding element which is arranged on the other of the two connecting elements and slides along the ramp surface when the lid-side connecting element is moved in the assembly direction.

The disclosure provides a vehicle side structure. The vehicle side structure is for being mounted near a door, and includes: an electric motor disposed inside the door to drive a door glass up and down; a fitting member, fitting the door and a vehicle body; and a connecting member, connecting the fitting member and the electric motor.

The invention relates to an actuating device (10) for triggering a function of a vehicle (1) by a user, having a cover element (11) for a vehicle part (2) of the vehicle (1) with a cover inner side (11.1) and a cover outer side (11.2), an electronics unit (12) having a sensor unit (20) for detecting an actuation action (200) of the user for triggering the function of the vehicle (1), an electronics outer side (12.2), and an electronics inner side (12.1) facing the electronics outer side (12.2). Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle (1), and to a method (100).

Door operator systems include the use of an adaptor. The adaptor may be utilized to operatively couple separate door operator assemblies together in a double door operator system. The adaptor includes control components (e.g., switches, buttons, toggles, or levers) that are used to turn the door operator system on and off. While the adaptor may be used to operatively couple two separate door operator assemblies together to form a double door operator system, the adaptor may also be used within a single door operator system. Furthermore, with respect to double door operator systems, the system may also utilize a back plate assembly formed from two or more separate back plates (e.g., two or more back plate portions).

The invention relates to a device (1) for detecting the position of an automated door, and a method of installation thereof, wherein the device comprises a connector (4, 20) adapted to couple the device to a door drive shaft (28, 32) moving an automated door such as a sectional overhead door, an encoder means (5) coupled to the connector (4, 20) and generating a position signal based on the movement of the door drive shaft (28, 32), which position signal is indicative of the door position, communication means connected to the encoder means (5) for transferring the position signal to a controlling device (34), and mounting means (2, 3) for mounting the device.

A spindle drive for a closure element of a motor vehicle including a downstream spindle/spindle nut mechanism, a spindle, a spindle nut and a spindle guide tube, for producing drive movements along a drive axis. A number of drive connections adjustable with respect to one another to transmit the drive movements, the first drive connection axially fixed to the spindle guide tube, a second drive connection axially fixed to the spindle, a drive spring configured to produce drive movements along the drive axis, the spindle guide tube has a first outer radius extending along at least one axial portion and on a side facing the first drive connection, a tube end portion with a tube end edge, that the tube end portion is widened radially so that the tube end edge has an outer end edge radius which is greater than the first outer radius.

A retaining element for a side window of a vehicle, includes a first securing section and a first contact section connected thereto for securing to a first surface of the side window, a second securing section and a second contact section connected thereto for securing to a second surface of the side window, wherein the first and second securing sections are connected to one another opposite the contact sections via a hinge section such that the first securing section together with the first contact section and the second securing section together with the second contact section is pivotable relative to one another, whereby the retaining element is openable and closable. In the closed state, the securing sections are in surface contact with one another and, together, are suitable for securing to the vehicle and the contact sections are suitable for securing to two opposing surfaces of the side window.

The invention relates to a sheath stop including: a hole through which a window lift cable is to pass; and a sheath abutment for locking the sheath of the window lift cable on one side of the sheath stop and wherein, on the other side of the sheath stop, the sheath stop includes a shaft provided so as to be mounted onto a bracket of the sheath stop such that the sheath stop has a freely rotatable mounting configuration on the bracket. The shaft extends transversely to the main orientation of the passage hole, and the passage hole has a partial side clearance that allows the cable a degree of bending freedom within a plane perpendicular to the shaft when the sheath stop freely pivots about the shaft.
