A fluid-operated hoist and method for operating a fluid-operated hoist. The hoist is particularly convenient to produce and install and can be permanently and reliably operated without frequent maintenance. The hoist includes a fluid supply line supplying an operating fluid to the hoist for operating the hoist, a generator connected to the fluid supply line for generating electricity by the operating fluid, and an electrical consumer on the hoist that is operated by the electricity generated by the generator.

Fluid-operated lifting gear

A control valve assembly for indirect pneumatic control and method for controlling a working fluid pressure, which enable precise, sensitive and speed-variable controlling. The assembly includes two valve units, a working fluid inlet, and a control fluid inlet. A working fluid channel connects the working fluid inlet through the two valve units to an outlet. A valve piston arranged within a valve cylinder of the valve units is movable between open and closed positions. A spring element biases the valve piston toward the closed position, and a control pressure chamber applies a control pressure counteracting the spring element's bias. When a control pressure is applied in the first chamber, the first valve piston is moved to the open position. Two opposite valve surfaces form a valve opening opened at varying widths when the valve piston is moved in the valve cylinder because of a changing control pressure, and the working pressure can be finely adjusted corresponding to the valve opening width depending on the control pressure.

A vane motor with a rotor body driven by compressed air having vane gaps for radially movable vanes and a rotor shaft for rotatably bearing the rotor body relative to a motor bushing. A method for lubricating a vane motor that ensures particularly long, low-service operation is provided. The rotor shaft is configured as a hollow shaft with a first lubricant reservoir in the interior. The first lubricant reservoir has a lubricant filling opening accessible from the outside of the vane motor. The first lubricant reservoir is connected by at least one radial lubricant hole to at least one further lubricant reservoir arranged in a section of the rotor body between two vane gaps, and/or is connected to an outlet opening arranged in one of the vane gaps for supplying lubricant into the vane gap.

Vane motor

A hoist, a hoisting apparatus with said hoist and a method for securing a hoist. A hoist body having a drive mechanism for raising or lowering a hoist chain or a hoist cable is suspended from a support device by a hoist support. A safety device having a loosely arranged coupling element and a damping element is mounted between the hoist body and the support device. If the hoist support is released, the hoist body can drop by a drop height until the coupling element becomes taut. The damping element then damps the fall under the load of the hoist body, the hoist chain and whatever load is suspended from it.

Fall protection device for a hoist

Described herein is a motor vehicle lock arrangement that includes a motor vehicle lock, with an operable functional element and a securing device which is associated with the functional element, wherein the securing device is coupled or it being possible to couple the securing device to the functional element in order to counteract an automatic operating movement of the functional element due to a crash acceleration phenomena which can occur in the event of a crash. In one embodiment, the securing device has a deflectable blocking element which can be deflected into a blocking position in which an operating movement of the functional element can be blocked by the blocking element, and the blocking element has an associated latching arrangement which latches in when the blocking element is deflected into the blocking position, and the latched-in latching arrangement holds the blocking element in the blocking position.

Motor vehicle lock arrangement

Described herein is a circuit arrangement for a motor vehicle door having a detent mechanism which keeps the motor vehicle door in the closed position and opens it and at least one operating element, for example, an outer door handle and/or inner door handle, wherein an electric drive, for example, an electric motor, drives the detent mechanism, and the motor can be connected by means of a control module. In one embodiment, at least one electrical switching element is arranged in the circuit of the motor. In another embodiment, when the operating element is operated, the electrical circuit of the motor can be completed by means of the electrical switching element. Also described is a method for actuating a detent mechanism in a motor vehicle door and a controller for a detent mechanism which keeps a motor vehicle door in the closed position or opens it.

A motor vehicle lock having the locking elements lock catch and pawl (1) and having a lock mechanism (2), it being possible for the lock mechanism (2) to be moved into different functional states such as 'unlocked', 'locked', &#x201c;anti-theft locked&#x201d; or &#x201c;child-safety locked&#x201d; and with the lock mechanism (2), for this purpose, having at least one functional element (3) which can be adjusted into corresponding functional positions. The invention proposes mounting the functional element (3) in a subregion, in particular an end region, of the functional element (3) with a bearing arrangement (3) such that the rest of the functional element (3) can be adjusted both in the lateral direction and in the vertical direction, in each case substantially perpendicular to its longitudinal extent, in relation to a reference plane (R) in any case.

Motor vehicle lock

The present invention relates to a motor vehicle lock having the locking elements of a lock catch and a pawl and having a lock mechanism, with it being possible for the lock mechanism to be moved into different functional states such as 'unlocked', 'locked', &#x201c;anti-theft locked&#x201d; or &#x201c;child-safety locked&#x201d; and with the lock mechanism having for this purpose at least one functional element which can be adjusted into corresponding functional positions. It is proposed that at least one functional element is designed as a resiliently elastically bendable wire or strip, and can thereby be bent in a resiliently elastic manner, as a bendable functional element, into different functional positions.

An auxiliary locking drive for a motor vehicle lock having its own drive housing and being located separate from the vehicle lock in the installed state. The auxiliary locking drive can be coupled to the vehicle lock by way of a transmission that transmits a linear driving motion produced by a drive motor to the vehicle lock for transferring the vehicle lock from the half-locked state into the main locked state by the driving motion. The auxiliary locking drive, for producing the linear driving motion, has a feed gear mechanism which is connected downstream of the drive motor and is made as a spindle-spindle nut gearing with a spindle and a spindle nut.

Motor vehicle lock with a ratchet, latch, actuation lever, internal actuation chain, external actuation chain and a control, the ratchet having an engagement position in which it holds the latch in the closed position, and a raised position in which the latch is released, the ratchet being movable from the engagement position into the raised position by the actuating lever, the control having different operating states and depending on the state, the ratchet is actuatable via the actuation lever by the internal actuation chain from an inside door handle and/or by the external actuation chain from an outside door handle or not at all. In the base state, the internal actuation chain and the external actuation chain are coupled to the actuation lever and the internal actuation chain and/or the external actuation chain can be decoupled from the actuation lever by the control depending on the operating state.
