A device for locking an actuating lever of a shifting device of a gear-change mechanism of a motor vehicle, in a lever position associated with a particular shift state utilizes a swivellable locking element connected to a brake pedal via an adjusting linkage to be moved into a locking position by a restoring spring holding the brake pedal in the unactuated rest position. Depression of the brake pedal releases the actuating lever. The adjusting linkage contains a resiliently-acting intermediate member acting on the locking element control to position a counter-control cam into engagement with an actuator control cam to lock the actuator. When the actuating lever is actuated into a nonlockable lever position, the locking element is moved into a floating position against the spring force of the intermediate member, while the brake pedal remains essentially in a rest position by virtue of an enlargement of the effective length of the adjusting linkage.

A process for the production and further processing of strands for Bowden cables of several wires stranded together by twisting, comprising dressing the strands after stranding between reversing rolls, subsequently stretching and again dressing between reversing rolls. Dressing is effected prior to stretching in several stages with decreasing bending radii and after the stretching again in several stages with increasing bending radii, while the stretching is performed with a force approximately within the area of the elastic limit, corresponding to 45% to 70%, preferably to 55% and 65% of the ultimate tensile strength of the strand. The apparatus comprises a dressing line of two roll conveyors with reversing rolls set in gaps with respect to each other on alternating sides, a stretching line with two tension sheaves set at a constant distance, one of which is driven by a brake motor and the other by a tension motor, another dressing line of two roll conveyors with reversing rolls set in gaps with respect to each other on alternating sides. The rolls of the lower conveyor and of the upper conveyor are combined respectively in magazines and the lower conveyor is mounted stationarily and the upper conveyor is mounted on a stand in a height adjustable manner perpendicularly to the lower conveyor.

An automobile steering wheel that is disposed below a plane of a steering wheel rim. As a protection against impact, there is a plastically deformable cup-like deformation member within the steering wheel that absorbs energy due to an impact of a driver of the motor vehicle on the steering wheel. Spokes are constructed in such a manner that the contribute to the energy absorption by a performance of deformation work. The deformation member has a height which is less than a distance between the hub and the plane of the steering wheel rim. The deformation member is fixedly connected in its upper region with the respective spokes.

A multipartite drive pedal of synthetic plastic material for vehicles whose members are hinge-like connected with each other by way of material-integrated film hinges, whereby within the area of the upper end of the foot plate of the drive pedal, a connecting member for the pivotal connection of the foot plate with a pivotal lever projecting into the leg space is arranged on the back side thereof; a bore which is provided in the connecting member for receiving the end of the lever facing the drive pedal is arranged in a clamping member pivotal relative to the connecting member within the same plane and coupled thereto by way of a film hinge; the bore is arranged transversely to the film hinges and the clamping member is adapted to be fixed axially on the at least approximately rectilinearly extending end of the lever in various positions to compensate for relatively large manufacturing tolerances.

A telescopic safety steering column for motor vehicles which includes a steering wheel displaceable from its normal operating position relative to the outer steering column under energy absorption by the steering wheel and an energy-absorbing support of the outer column at a fixed vehicle part; this support being provided by an undulated tubular member which is arranged parallel to the center longitudinal axis of the safety steering column and is stable as regards its position while the fixing of the outer column is provided in proximity to the steering wheel by a guide strap which becomes ineffectual when the body of a vehicle passenger impinges against the steering wheel.
