A clutch comprises an input pinion and an output pinion associated with a rotatable locking member that has a surface inclined with respect to an axis of rotation of the locking member. The surface cooperates with an engagement member, and the locking member is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the surface forms a recess to receive the engagement member, and in the second position, the surface forms a projection to force the engagement member into abutment with the input pinion to establish a driveable connection between the input pinion and the output pinion.

Electro-mechanical clutch

A control for a window lifter of a motor vehicle includes a sensor in the form of a physical matrix having a pressure sensitive surface. The control also includes keys that define a pressure point. When pressed, the keys influence the pressure sensitive surface. The keys can be fixed to the sensor or can be connected to a support against which the sensor is fixed. The control can easily be reconfigured for different keys without modifying the sensor.

Control for a motor vehicle

A vehicle window lifter includes first and second parallel guide rails, a connecting arm rigidly connecting the guide rails at a point along the rails between their ends, and cable returns defining a cable path along the rails and connecting arm. The connecting arm and guide rails form a cable path for a cable, protecting the cable while providing high rigidity and simple mounting on a vehicle door.

Window lifter for a vehicle door

A modular door system provides a lower door assembly, an upper door assembly and a trim assembly. The upper door assembly is selectively removable and replaceable such that the door system is readily converted between a multiple of configurations. The trim assembly includes the interior vehicle door trim and a hinged trim portion. The hinged trim portion is defined by a trim hinge which is generally parallel to the open edge. By pivoting the hinged trim portion away from the open edge, the cavity is readily exposed for receipt of the upper door assembly. The difference in thickness of the upper door assembly is accommodated by pivoting of the hinged trim portion to permit passage of the components while still providing a seal for the cavity when the hinged trim portion is secured.
