The invention relates to a drive unit (), with a bearing device () for a drive motor () which interacts with a gearing element () via a drive shaft () which is supported at multiple points, with a first bearing element () which is arranged on that side of the drive motor () which is opposite the gearing element (), a second bearing element () which is arranged between the drive motor () and the gearing element (), and a third bearing element (to) which is arranged on that side of the gearing element () which faces away from the drive motor (), wherein the third bearing element (to) is arranged movably in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis () of the drive shaft (), and wherein the third bearing element (to) is accommodated in a receptacle () of a gearbox ().

Drive unit

The invention relates to a transmission drive assembly () having a drive motor () the drive shaft () of which protrudes with a portion () thereof into a transmission housing (), wherein the drive shaft () is arranged on the side facing the transmission housing () in a bearing () which is held in a form-fit or force-closed manner in a substantially sleeve-shaped holding element () which is arranged in a holding fixture () of the transmission housing (). According to the invention, in an installation position for introducing and positioning the holding element () in the holding fixture () of the transmission housing (), the holding element () is positioned in a first axial end position defined by an abutment element () of the drive motor (), and, in an end position of the drive shaft () in the transmission housing (), the holding element () can be slid by means of a sliding element () on the drive shaft () into a second axial end position which is axially remote from the at least one abutment element.

Transmission drive assembly

A gearing mechanism includes a housing component and a shaft mounted in the housing component. The shaft is driven rotating relative to the housing component with regard to a rotation axis in a first rotation direction and in a second rotation direction opposite the first rotation direction. There is also a wrap element that wraps the shaft multiple times. A first end of the wrap element is fastened to the housing component. It is also possible that an inward oriented friction surface is provided and that the wrap element is arranged within the inward oriented friction surface at least in sections in order to interact with the friction surface. In an alternative embodiment, a brake element is provided, the shaft comprises a brake element receptacle that at least partially accommodates the brake element and a contact surface is allocated to the brake element for interacting with the brake element.

Gearing mechanism

The invention relates to a transmission drive unit () having an adapter element made of plastic () via which a torque is initiated by an input element () and a drive element () made of metal for forwarding the torque, wherein the adapter element () and the drive element () are directly coupled to one another and rigidly connected, wherein the adapter element () is an injection molded part which is formed by at least partial overmolding of the drive element () and wherein the drive element () serves as a bearing element.

Transmission drive unit

The invention relates to a drive device in vehicle component, comprising an electric drive motor, the armature shaft thereof being connected to a gearbox device for driving an output shaft. The gearbox device comprises at least one double gearbox unit, made of two gear stages having two changes in direction.

A roof module for accommodation in a hollow space of a roof area of a vehicle. Both manually operable, movable areas and movable areas operable by an actuating drive may be integrated into the roof area. The roof module may be assigned to a drive of movable area or to frame elements in which the movable area is guided. In the roof module, electronic components and sensors are accommodated, which form functional groups for operating the movable roof area, for monitoring and air conditioning the vehicle's passenger compartment, for communications with external information systems and for activating vehicle security systems.

Roof module for vehicles

The invention relates to a drive device for a motor vehicle door lock or the like, which comprises a motor or in particular an electromotor drive and a gear unit (,) with a drive end and an output end. In order to optimize mechanical back-up actuation in the case of power failure or voltage drop or other interruption of the motor, in particular electromotor drive, according to the invention, between the drive end and the output end of the gear unit (,), is fitted a coupling (,) that is variable in coupling degree, which has a high degree of coupling in the case of high rotational speed, and a low degree of coupling in the case of low rotational speed.

The subject of the invention is a key collar for a motor vehicle door lock or the like including a key collar support plate fixedly attached on a support sheet, and a collar element supported on the collar support plate which, in operation, engages a lock catch of the motor vehicle door lock or the like. Optionally, the key collar includes an elastomer arrangement which allows the collar element to move a limited distance relative to the collar support plate in the plane of the collar support plate thereby better meeting the different requirements of normal use conditions and during a vehicle crash. In operation, the collar element of a preferred embodiment is supported on the collar support plate on two spaced bearing points, one bearing point with a trailing bridge in a manner that collar element can be swivelled around an axis which is perpendicular to collar support plate, and another bearing point with a leading bridge which can be displaced in corresponding arc-shaped crank.

A motor vehicle door lock or the like has a housing (,) or a lock bearing plate, a rotary latch (,) with a jaw (,) for a locking wedge (,) or lock bolt and a pawl (,) for locking the rotary latch (,) in a locking position which corresponds to the closed motor vehicle door. Several complementary measures are proposed which can be applied together or separately to optimise the locking elements&mdash;rotary latch (,) and pawl (,). A differentiated positioning of the rotary latch (,) and pawl (,) is particularly significant. The material, shape and/or mounting of the swivelling axis (,) of the rotary latch (,) or of the swivelling axis (,) of the pawl (,) are designed for normal operation conditions. However, in the event of tearing up forces which are considerably higher than the normal operation conditions (crash), the rotary latch (,) or pawl (,) can be displaced in such a way that a substantial proportion of the tearing up forces can be absorbed by the supporting area of a recess (,) which contains the rotary latch (,) or of a recess (,) which contains the pawl (,).

An improved process for producing a unit, such as a small plastic housing, from two plastic parts in which a first plastic part is produced in a molding production step and has at least one first connection recess, in which a second plastic part is produced in a molding production step and has at least one second connection recess assigned to the first connection recess. The process is characterized by the two plastic parts being joined together such that the first connection recess and second connection recess are located next to one another and a connector pin is inserted into the two connection recesses thus resulting in a tightly joined unit of the two plastic parts.

A driving device for a reciprocating control member, preferably for a keyboard in a lock for doors of a motor vehicle, has a reversible electric motor controlled by a switching device. The electric motor controls the control member via a reduction gear. The switching device includes a stop member connected for joint rotation to the output of the reduction gear and having a convex stop surface. A contact disc is provided with two adjacent concave recesses cooperating with the stop member. A tension spring couples the contact disc to the transmission gears so as to oscillate the contact disc from one limit position in which the stop member is in engagement with one concave surface into another limit position in which the stop member is brought in engagement with the other concave stop surface.
