A method for configuration of a device for controlling the movement of a plurality of movable furniture parts which can be moved in a driven manner relative to a stationary furniture part by means of a drive unit and a monitoring unit for monitoring the movement of the movable furniture parts. In order to match the movement of the movable furniture parts, at least an inner furniture part is associated with an outer furniture part such that, when a configuration mode is activated, the association of the at least one inner furniture part with the outer furniture part is created by a sequence of opening and/or closing movements of the movable furniture parts that are associated with one another.

Device for controlling the movement of a plurality of movable furniture parts and method for configuration of a device such as this, and piece of furniture

The invention relates to a device for controlling the movement of a moveable furniture part which can be moved, in a driven manner, relative to a stationary furniture part by means of a drive unit via a monitoring unit for monitoring the movement of the moveable furniture part. According to the invention, the monitoring unit can be operated in an operating mode and in a configuration mode, with the monitoring unit being designed to use additional means to enter a configuration mode in which the device can be configured. In addition, the invention relates to a piece of furniture having a device such as this.

Device for controlling the movement of a moveable furniture part, and a piece of furniture having a device such as this

A device for controlling the movement of furniture parts which can be moved with respect to one another, using a drive unit by means of which a first furniture part can be moved in a driven manner relative to a second furniture part via a monitoring unit for monitoring the movement of the first furniture part, in which case the monitoring unit is designed such that, after starting up, the monitoring unit operates in accordance with a monitoring program for monitoring the movement of the first furniture part, with selection means being provided by means of which an alternative selection program can be activated, instead of the monitoring program, in order to monitor the movement of the first furniture part. The invention also relates to a piece of furniture including the device.

The invention relates to a method for regulating an electric-motor-driven adjusting device, in particular for vehicles, having a safety circuit ( ) for reversing or stopping a drive motor, and to an apparatus for performing this method. To enable fast, safe detection in the event of something becoming caught or pinched, it is provided that an actual value is regulated via a closed-loop control circuit to a set-point value, the actual value or set-point value is a signal having a frequency proportional to the rpm or load on the drive motor, and the phase difference detected with a comparison member of the control circuit is utilized to activate the safety circuit. The apparatus for performing the method is characterized by a control circuit having a set-point value transducer and an actual value transducer, in which as the set-point value or actual value, a signal proportional to the rpm or load of the drive motor is processed, and having a comparison member, such as a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit ( ), for determining the phase difference delivered to a detection stage which activates the safety circuit.

Method for controlling an adjustment device that is driven in an electromotorical manner and used for window lifters for instance and a device for carrying out said method

The invention relates to a parking brake system for motor vehicles. The system has an adjusting unit (,) comprising a motor-driven drive mechanism (,) in order to tighten or loosen an actuating pull (,) of a brake device (,), whereby the drive mechanism (,) is drive connected to a component (,) which is mounted in a non-displaceable manner with regard to the longitudinal axis (,) such that it can rotate around said longitudinal axis (,). The component (,) is rotationally fixed to a telescopic device (,) arranged such that it can be displaced in the direction of the longitudinal axis (,). The axial length of the telescopic device (,) is increased or decreased according to the direction of rotation of the component (,), and each axial end (,) of the telescopic device (,) is respectively connected to an actuating pull (,) for a brake of the brake device (,) in an indirect or direct manner. In addition, the telescopic device (,) is constructed by a hollow shaft and a single spindle (,) which is mounted in the hollow shaft such that it can rotate. Said hollow shaft is preferably configured as a splined shaft (,) and can be displaced in the direction of the longitudinal axis (,).

Parking brake for motor vehicles

An adjusting device for a push-pull rod (,) such as is used in motor vehicles between the gearshift lever and the tranmission. To achieve continuous length compensation, the invention uses a spring (,) to directly or indirectly effect clamping between the push-pull rod (,) and the housing of the adjusting device or a connector (,).

Compensating element for a pulling and pressing rod

A drive system for trunk doors, engine hoods, hatchbacks (,), doors or the like of vehicles in particular motor vehicles comprising at least one hinge (,) and a power spring, for instance a pneumatic spring (,) assisting the opening motion. The invention provides a mechanism shifting the direction of action of the pneumatic spring (,) to attain rapid, automatic opening of the hatchback (,) following its unlocking.
