A 3/3-way valve with a control member received in a valve chamber is provided. The member, in three control positions, blocks a consumer opening and a relief opening (maintain pressure), connects the consumer opening with a supply opening and blocks the relief opening (increase pressure), and connects the consumer opening with the relief opening and blocks the supply opening (reduce pressure). To reduce manufacturing costs for a 3/3-way valve of this kind, two chamber sections delimited by the control member in the valve chamber are constantly connected with one another and the three openings are arranged at certain intervals apart from one another. The adjustment is made such that the control member in one control position covers the consumer opening and the relief opening, in another control position covers only the relief opening, and in another control position covers only the supply opening.

A protective device for a door gap between a door and a door frame in the body of an armored, specially protected vehicle. The device prevents projectile splinters from penetrating the interior of the vehicle, and is intended to reduce the door aperture as little as possible when the door is opened. For this purpose, partitions extend from the frame of the door into the door gap. As a result, the gap-covering armor that extends into the door opening area beyond the door frame when the door is opened has a relatively limited extent in the free door aperture area. One of the projectile-deflecting projections on the frame of the door is an anti-splinter strip mounted on the inside of the door and projecting into the door gap, said strip preventing the parts of a broken-up projectile from penetrating the interior of the vehicle and/or deflecting those parts that do penetrate into areas that are noncritical for the vehicle occupants.

A method for the overload protection of devices which cannot endure continuous running on account of heat loss, to avoid a complex, cost-intensive direct coupling of the device to be protected to a temperature measuring element. The inside temperature within the housing of the device is merely measured and, on the basis of device-specific characteristics stored in an evaluation circuit, a permissible operating period assigned to the inside temperature is calculated. The permissible operating period is then used as a basis for the preset operating period cycle time.

An actuating drive for installation in a body of a motor vehicle, from whose housing an actuator guided therein can be retracted and extended through an exit opening. A mount is provided for attaching the housing to the body with the exit opening of the attached housing being supported at the edge on an edge of a body opening that can likewise be penetrated by the actuator. According to the invention, the housing is guided so as to be displaceable with respect to the mount to and fro along a displacement axis in the direction of movement of the actuator. A clamping device is provided for displacing the housing with respect to the mount along the displacement axis, by means of which the housing, which is supported on one side at least indirectly on the mount, can be clamped on the other side against the edge of the body opening.

A method and device for the electrical control of a central locking system and of a mechanical securing device (that provides additional lock protection) for motor vehicles by a lock cylinder that interacts with at least two control switches. This method and device ensures a better utilization of the electrical control switches, in that, an unlocking control switch assigned to the unlocking of the central locking system and the deactivation of the mechanical securing device is switched in addition to a locking control switch assigned to the locking of the central locking system. If the lock cylinder is pivoted in the locking direction beyond its regular locking position, the resultant joint switching state of the two switching control devices is evaluated to activate the mechanical securing device.

A locking device for a door lock in a motor vehicle has a locking position which can be selected, even by remote actuation, by an outer security element and in which the influence of outer and inner lock handles and of inner security elements on this locking position is prevented as a result of an interruption of the force flux at disengageable couplings.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for the simple removal of liquid condensate, in particular of water of condensation, from compressed-air systems alternately subjected in operation to positive pressure and atmospheric pressure. The compressed-air system is first of all connected for a limited period, at intervals or after each subjection to positive pressure, to a vacuum generator in order to promote re-evaporation of the condensate and is evacuated by the latter before atmospheric pressure is passed in or let in again. In certain embodiments, a highly restricted reverse flow through the compressed-air system is permitted. The method is particularly suitable for use in small-volume compressed-air systems which do not have to be permanently subjected to positive pressure, e.g., in pneumatic door-closing aids for motor cars.

A mechanical unlocking arrangement is integrated in an adjusting element for the unlocking and locking of a door- or lid-lock which in addition to a main adjusting drive includes a further power-actuated security-adjusting drive for blocking the adjusting member of the main adjusting drive in the position keeping the lock locked by means of a locking member; the mechanical unlocking arrangement thereby enables a release of the blocked adjusting member without power-assist.

A bidirectional pressure supply system for consumers of pneumatic negative pressure and/or positive pressure has a negative pressure line system and a positive pressure line system, to which the respective pressure types are simultaneously admitted from a pressure generator. Upon the electrically triggerable operation of the generator the consumers are connected, via parallel connected directional valves assigned to the consumers, to the respective pressure line system depending on the pressure type required at that moment, individually or in groups. The system provides an arrangement to apply negative pressure to first consumers and, simultaneously, positive pressure to second consumers.

A control arrangement for a combined central locking and burglar alarm system for motor vehicles is constructed in such a manner that an accidentally tripped false alarm can be deactivated in a single manner by a designated key and a key detection switch associated with a door locking cylinder, so that the activation state of the burglar alarm system is automatically adapted to the existing locking state of the central locking system.

Control system for a combined central locking and burglar alarm system

A central locking system for motor vehicles, not only doors and tailgate and gas tank-cap lids, but also several flaps of containers arranged in the passenger space (gloveboxes, small luggage compartments). These locks can be released and locked jointly by a unitary switch signal, or for specific conditions, both the doors and lids and the flaps can respectively be locked and released separately in groups.

A compact electric adjusting drive for locking systems, fan flaps or the like in motor vehicles includes a fluidic force transmission system between the electric motor and the adjusting element movable to and fro between two end positions.
