Tuerklinken-Mechanismus

Door fastening consists of two hinge halves, hinge pin, braking and holding arrangement, protuberance and matching recess, and compression spring

The door fastening consists of two hinge halves (1,2) containing a hinge-pin (3). Different positions between the two hinge halves are defined by a braking and holding arrangement (6,9) at least one of which is rotarily driven. The complementary detent-marks on the two hinge halves consist of at least one protuberance (8) matching a recess (16) on their end sides. At least one brake or holder is axially movable and pretensioned by a compression spring (7).

Car door hinge of pin and hinge parts couples parts via pressed angled sleeve to toothe the parts together with pin arrest sectors forming excentric cylinders offsetting to apply friction braking.

A sleeve (12) allocated at pre-set angle to the first hinge part (1) is joined co-rotatably at selected angle to the hinge pin (7) fixer section (6) to serve a plug-in coupling for the section (6) made up of toothing engagement (K,K1). The angle setting is a positive fit (15,16) between sleeve (12) nose (15) and fix opening (20). The braking sectors (9,11) form cylinders excentric to rotation axis (x). The hinge pin (7) carried on hinge parts (1 and 2) uses its arrest sectors (9,11) for insertion with the sectors in line. When the pin twists, both sectors run out of line to co-operate for friction braking, using a notching opening on the hinge pin (7) to arrest the check angle.

The tappet mechanically locks the spindle in a raised position.

Door i.e. sliding door, or flap actuating method for vehicle, involves detecting manual actuation completion if speed lies below predefined speed and bringing drive into engagement with door/flap when completion is detected

The method involves detecting a manual actuation of a door/flap (1). A drive (3) is released from engagement with the door/flap when the manual actuation of the door/flap is detected. A moving speed of the door/flap relative to a vehicle (10) is measured. Completion of the manual actuation is detected when the speed lies below a predefined speed. The drive is brought into engagement with the door/flap as soon as the completion of the manual actuation is detected. The door/flap is held by self-locking a drive (4). An independent claim is also included for a device for actuating a door/flap of a vehicle.

Motion Sensitive System and Method of Generating a Control Signal

A sensor arrangement (15 in fig. 1) captures first and second images 23 and 22 of a moving object in proximity to the target (33 or 10 in fig. 1). A processing module receives the first and second image from the sensor arrangement and calculates the position and velocity of the moving object before comparing these with at least one real or imaginary positional threshold (32, 31, 30). The processing module is also arranged to generate a control signal in response to the calculated position and velocity satisfying a criterion with respect to the positional threshold (e.g. if the object s approach crosses the threshold). This invention provides the generation of a control (e.g. door opening) signal when a target (e.g. door) is validly approached by a moving object (e.g. a person walking towards the door), but not when the approach is invalid (e.g. a person walking past the door or entrance).
