20100043294 | GEAR MECHANISM PART FOR A CABLE-CONTROLLED WINDOW LIFTER AND DRIVE UNIT FOR A CABLE-CONTROLLED WINDOW LIFTER - A gear mechanism part for a cable-controlled window lifter is provided that includes a gear wheel and a cable drum that can be driven by the gear wheel. The gear wheel and cable drum are disposed on a common axis. The gear wheel and the cable drum are coupled by a positive fit to an outside gearing disposed on an outside circumference projection. In the cable drum, a fitting chamber for cable end fastening is provided. The fitting chamber is disposed inside the outer circumference projection on a cross-sectional plane projected perpendicular to the axis. In this way, a more compact design of the cable drum and transmission of higher driving torque are achieved. | 02-25-2010 |
20100126305 | METHOD FOR THE INSTALLATION OF AN ADJUSTING UNIT FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND ADJUSTING UNIT PRODUCED USING SAID METHOD - In a method for assembling an adjusting unit for motor vehicles which comprises a housing, consisting of at least two housing parts, and further functional components arranged in or on the housing and which is to be built into a motor vehicle, at least one irradiation source is provided by which a laser irradiation usable for laser welding is producible; at least one housing part of the adjusting unit is provided which consists at least partially of a material that absorbs the laser irradiation; at least one further housing part is provided which consists at least partially of a material that is permeable for the laser irradiation; further functional components of the adjusting unit are arranged on at least one of the housing parts such that they are arranged in or on a housing formed by the housing parts; the housing parts are connected to each other in that the housing assembled from the housing parts and the at least one irradiation source are positioned with respect to each other in such a manner that emitted laser irradiation, through a region of the housing permeable for the laser irradiation, strikes a region of the housing absorbing the laser irradiation and hereby connects to each other two regions, abutting each other, of the housing parts; the housing and the at least one irradiation source are positioned with respect to each other in such a manner that the emitted laser irradiation, through a region of the housing permeable for the laser irradiation, penetrates into the inside of the housing and connects, there, at least one functional component, arranged in the housing, of the adjusting unit with the housing; and via a continuous welding seam on the one hand the housing parts are connected to each other and on the other hand at least one further functional component is fixed on the housing. | 05-27-2010 |
20140097366 | ACTUATING DRIVE OF AN AIR PASSAGE DEVICE - The invention relates to an actuating drive of an air passage device for an engine cooling system of a vehicle, comprising a drive gear to be driven by an electric motor, which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, and an output element which is operatively connected with the drive gear and is movable with the drive gear along an adjustment path, in order to shift the air passage device between an open position, in which the air passage device is opened in order to allow an air stream to pass through, and a closed position in which the air passage device is closed in order to minimize an air stream. The actuating drive comprises a transmission element arranged between the drive gear and the output element for establishing the operative connection between the drive gear and the output element and an actuator which cooperates with the transmission element such that in a first position of the actuator the output element is directly coupled with the drive gear for movement along the adjustment path and in a second position of the actuator, at least when the output element is located in a predetermined portion of the adjustment path, is movable relative to the drive gear. | 04-10-2014 |

20080244980 | DRIVE ASSEMBLY FOR A CABLE WINDOW LIFT SYSTEM FOR MOTOR VEHICLES - Drive assembly for motor vehicle cable window lift system and cable window lift system fitted with such drive assembly. The assembly may be provided with drive unit having gear housing section and rotatably mounted cable drum for winding/unwinding a system cable wherein the cable drum engages a drive unit drive gear and is coupled thereto. Cable drum is rotatably mounted shaftlessly and securing means is provided that cooperates with the cable drum to secure said drum axially and radially on the drive gear. With this secured and rotatably mounted structural design it is possible to dispense with a shaft penetrating the cable drum or a longer pivot pin. A shaftless structural design results which may be designed very flexibly compared to conventional designs. Thus, a variety of cable drums can be used to co-operate with the drive unit giving a large range of possible variations with the same drive unit. | 10-09-2008 |
20090009112 | Drive Device for an Adjusting Device for Adjusting a Vehicle Part and Method for Operating a Drive Device - A drive device for an adjusting device for adjusting a vehicle component of a vehicle is provided. The drive device comprising an electronically commutated motor and an electronic control device which actuates the electronically commutated motor by means of an actuating voltage. The electronic control device has means, by means of which the signal form of the actuating voltage can be adapted on the basis of at least one operating parameter in order to optimize the power output, the acoustics, the electromagnetic irradiation and/or the heating of the drive device. | 01-08-2009 |
20090217596 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE CLOSING MOVEMENT OF A CHASSIS COMPONENT FOR VEHICLES - In order to reduce the stresses occurring during the closing of a manually closable body component, e.g. a door, a method of controlling the closing movement is proposed in which,

20150088400 | ACTUATING DRIVE FOR AN AIR PASSAGE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ACTUATING DRIVE - An actuating drive for an air passage apparatus for engine cooling in a vehicle is provided. The actuating drive comprises a drive motor for adjusting the air passage apparatus and a control unit for controlling the drive motor, in which control unit are stored operating parameters for a first operating mode of the drive motor, in order to adjust the air passage apparatus between the open and closed position, as intended. The actuating drive has a drive element which is drivable by the drive motor and a driven element movable along an adjustment path with the drive element for adjusting the air passage apparatus. The drive element and the driven element are coupled together in an operating state for adjusting the air passage apparatus, and are decoupled from each other in another operating state, whereby the driven element is movable with respect to the drive element. | 03-26-2015 |
