Door lock, especially for a motor vehicle

In a door lock, especially for a motor vehicle, with a door handle pivotable outwards about a pivot axis, provision is made for mounting a door-handle driver on the door handle so as to be compliant counter to a direction of force required for opening, and, in addition, for there to be means for fixing the door-handle driver in this position assumed as a result of compliance.

Fail-safe pneumatic spring

The invention relates to a fail-safe pneumatic spring, in particular for engine bonnets and/or boot lids of motor vehicles, in which a retention device acting in the retracted position of the piston rod is provided which is operative after a predetermined retraction travel of the piston rod into the cylinder and prevents an automatic extension movement of the piston rod. Such a retention device is intended to prevent the pneumatic spring from representing an additional safety risk in the event of deformation of parts of the vehicle due to an accident. According to the invention, the intention is to further develop such a pneumatic spring by arranging in the piston head a hollow, the area of which, projected into the plane of the piston head, is at least as large as the cross-sectional area of the piston rod, and by a correspondingly shaped projection projecting from the cylinder head, which projection, when the predetermined retraction travel has been reached, covers this area in sealing ...

Vehicle air-conditioning system

The coolant circuit (15) contains a conventional compressor (11), condenser (12), expansion valve (13) and evaporator (14). Between the condenser and expansion valve a two-port two-position magnetic stop valve (30) with spring bias is introduced and operated by electronic control (31) in response to signals from a gas sensor (33) in the air distribution duct (16) downstream from the evaporator. The control also operates on servomotors (26, 28) opening and closing the flaps (18, 27) and gives visual and audible warnings (32) of any leakage of coolant from the evaporator into the air flow leaving the circulation fan (17).

Ball arrest device for road vehicle door fitting - has guide bush for slide guiding the arresting means in which screw pressure spring is coaxially arranged

The lateral outward bending of the screw pressure spring is limited by the guide bush and the bush (5) in the length area of the greatest outward bending of the screw pressure spring (8) has a radial, elastic, pliable guide and support area. The guide and support area is formed by a support ring (12) which encloses with virtual lack of clearance the winding of the screw pressure spring (8). The guide bush (5) is of bendable elastic material, and a narrowed longitudinal section of it itself acts as support ring (12). USE/ADVANTAGE - A road vehicle door fitting ball arrest device with which the occurrence of crack noises via the spring windings is adequately prevented.
