An actuating arrangement and method for opening and closing a hinged motor vehicle panel utilizes a controllable fluid drive and an uncontrolled fluid drive. The hinged motor vehicle panel is driven during opening from a starting position to a predetermined opening angle by the controlled fluid drive and, after reaching the predetermined angle of opening, is driven into its final position exclusively by the uncontrolled fluid drive.

Actuating arrangement for opening and closing hinged motor vehicle panels

An actuating arrangement for opening and closing a hinged motor vehicle panel has a fluid drive, a control unit, and a sensor unit. The hinged motor vehicle panel is movable between a starting position and an end position, and the control unit evaluates start signals from the sensor unit and stopping the movement of the motor vehicle panel in an intermediate position. The start signals from the sensor unit correspond to current angles of opening of the hinged motor vehicle panel, and predetermined angles of opening of the hinged motor vehicle panel define certain criteria. It is possible to set at least the angle of opening of the intermediate position via the control unit.

A process and apparatus for influencing a central locking system (CLS) in a motor vehicle wherein a separate release of a driver-door closure is provided and wherein, without special preselection measures in the vehicle interior, a vehicle user can, during each release at the locking station assigned to this closure, decide whether he wants to release only this one closure separately, by actuating the corresponding locking station once, or whether he wants to release the closures of the vehicle centrally, by actuating this locking station twice.

The invention relates to a rectangular key case having a swing-out flat key, so that the key can be integrated into the case in a space-saving manner. The case contains a key receiving space formed as a two-legged receiving shaft which, viewed over its length, is essentially L-shaped and extends with its longer leg along the side edge and with its shorter leg along the front edge of the key case housing. The flat key, in its non-working position, is lowered with its shank part entering into the longer leg and with its grip part entering into the shorter leg located near the corner of the key case housing. The shank part of the flat key is pivoted outside the housing and around its corner with the flat key in a working position pointed in the opposite direction from its non-working position and whereupon the grip part of the key engages into a longitudinal area of the shorter leg more remote from the corner.

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.

In a vacuum distributor box with a suction connection and several vacuum connections, all the vacuum connections are equipped with non-return valves open only when vacuum lines are inserted, both the seals of the box housing itself and the those of the vacuum lines relative to the box housing and the valve sealing seats of the non-return valves being incorporated in a diaphragm seal clamped on all sides between two housing parts.
