The vehicle door is arranged in a more open position, for example. / Next, the transmission element moves 16 off to with the bracket 20th the vehicle door to engage. The vehicle door is located in the slightly open or exposed position. / After that the bracket 20th from the transmission element 16 held, for example, grasped in order to then begin the closing process in which the vehicle door is slowly brought into the closed position. / In the retracted position, the bracket and the transmission element are released 16 completely retracted. The vehicle door is in the closed position.

6th shows the installation module 2 in detail in a retracted position. 7th shows the installation module 6th in an extended position with the vehicle door held and with a release mechanism. A first option provides that the bracket 20th as a thorn 102 with a flared end 104 is trained. The thorn 102 is attached, for example, to a plate that can be attached to the vehicle door or a body area with screws, for example.

The releasable holding mechanism 62 points at the free end of the transmission element 16 at least one movable gripper arm 106 on to the flared end 104 of the thorn 102 to reach behind in the closing direction. In the transmission element 16 is an actuator 108 for the at least one movable gripper arm 106 is arranged in the region of an end opposite the free end 110 of the transmission element 16 with a release actuator 112 is engageable to with the release actuator 112 the at least one movable gripper arm 106 in a release position for the mandrel 102 to move.

In one example it is provided that the release actuator is a release lever 114 is movable with a separate actuator around the mandrel 102 to release. The release lever 114 can with the actuator 108 be engaged when the transmission element 16 is in the extended position.

The actuator 108 is provided as an option. In an alternative there is an actuator for the at least one movable gripping arm 106 provided in the transmission element 16 is arranged, for example in the area of the extending end.

In the example shown, the releasable holding mechanism has two movable gripping arms 106 on, which encompass the widened end of the mandrel from two sides.

The release actuator 112 is for example as a longitudinal rod or pin 113 formed, which has an actuating projection at its rear end 116 Has. The pin 113 is in a receptacle at its rear end 115 kept that in the retracted position of the pin 113 forms a stop. The recording 115 forms a guide for the end of the pin 113 .

In the extended state of the transmission element 16 is the actuating projection 114 in an engagement area of a control lever 118 that from a second drive 120 is moved. The control lever 116 is pivoted and can be operated using a gear lever 122 be moved. The gear lever 122 For example, one drive can be rotated by the second drive 120 driven pulley pivoted. By engaging the control lever 118 can the actuating projection 116 and thus the release actuator 112 be moved in the longitudinal direction to the at least one movable gripping arm 106 to move. For example, the at least one movable gripping arm 106 be moved to a released position to release the bracket.

8A shows the transmission element 16 in detail with the holder released 20th . 8B shows the transmission element 16 in a position in which the bracket 20th by the at least one movable gripper arm 106 is held.

9A Fig. 10 shows another example of the transmission element 16 in a retracted position. 9B shows the transmission element 9A in an extended position with another example of an alternative release mechanism. As an example, in 9A and 9B provided that the release actuator is a release lever 140 is on the transmission element 16 is provided and by a fixed stop 142 is movable to the mandrel 102 to release. The release lever 140 rests against the stop when the transmission element 16 is in the extended position. The release lever causes the contact 140 a longitudinal movement of the rod, ie the pin 113 , which subsequently has at least one movable gripper arm 106 moved, for example, to the bracket 102 to release; or to vary the holding force.

The release lever engages around for the longitudinal movement of the rod 140 an area of the rod that is supported by two stops 144 is limited so that a pivoting movement of the release lever 140 causes a translation of the rod.

10 Fig. 10 shows another example of the transmission element 16 in an extended position with an alternative release mechanism. The release actuator is a release lever 160 attached to the transmission element 16 is provided and by a movable stop 162 is movable to the mandrel 102 to release. The moving stop 162 is with a separate drive 164 movable to the mandrel 102 to release. The moving stop 162 can be brought into engagement with the release lever in a range when the transmission element 16 is extended and / or when it is in the extended position. The release lever 160 causes a longitudinal displacement of the rod, ie the pin 113 . This movement can hold the bracket 20th at the front end of the transmission element 16 can be set.

The moving stop 162 is for example through a bolt 166 formed, the at least two points with pivotable brackets 168 is held and can perform a rotary-translational movement. The moving stop 162 can also be referred to as an actuating / switching element. The movement of the movable stop 162 can for example with one of a motor 170 driven worm wheel 172 done that a cam 174 has to at the movable stop 162 to lie against and to move it.

Since the movable stop 162 over a range in the direction of movement of the transmission element 16 extends, it is possible to hold the bracket 20th also continuously in intermediate positions of the transmission element 16 to adjust, ie to change.

11 Figure 10 shows another example of the transmission element in an extended position with a further alternative release mechanism. The release actuator is a release lever 180 attached to the transmission element 16 is provided and that of a stop 182 from a variety of stops 184 is movable to release the mandrel. The multitude of attacks 184 is on a movable latch 166 arranged, which is movable perpendicular to the extension direction of the transmission element in the direction of the release lever in order to bring one of the stops into engagement with the release lever in order to actuate the release lever by moving the transmission element.

The movable bolt is designed like a comb and, for example, mounted so that it can be moved upwards or laterally, ie in 11 in the x or z direction. By moving towards the transmission element 16 the comb structure comes into the engagement area of the release lever. The closest stop then comes into engagement with the release lever when the transmission element moves and causes the drive to disengage from the transmission element.

The release lever 180 causes a longitudinal displacement of the rod, ie the pin 113 . This movement can hold the bracket 20th at the front end of the transmission element 16 can be set.

As the stop is made up of a variety of stops 184 over a range in the direction of movement of the transmission element 16 extends, it is possible to hold the bracket 20th also in slightly spaced intermediate positions of the transmission element 16 to adjust, ie to change.

According to one example, the holder has a receptacle or is a receptacle 24 designed to temporarily hold the extending free end of the transmission element 16 , the free end having a coupling area 25th which is designed to protrude at least partially into the receptacle.

12th shows an example of the recording 24 for temporarily holding an extending free end of the transmission element 16 . 13th shows the recording 12th in different situations in relation to the free end of the transmission element 16 .

In the example 12th and 13th it is provided that the coupling area 25th at the free end of the chain with a widening coupling area 302 is formed and the recording 24 at least two movable holding elements 304 has to the coupling area 302 to reach around at least partially, so that a releasable form-fitting connection can be created in relation to the holding direction. The two movable holding elements 304 act with an adjustable force on the coupling area 302 . With an actuator 306 For example, a first force and a second force can be set in order to generate the first holding force and the second holding force. The holding elements 304 are with the actuator 306 movable in a release direction in order to release the holding force. The first and the second force are designed to accommodate the 24 the coupling area 302 releases in an overload situation.

13th shows the recording 24 the end 5 in different holding states: In the illustration on the left is the coupling area 302 still outside the sphere of action of the two movable ones Holding elements 304 . / In the second illustration, seen from the left, is the coupling area 302 in the area of action of the two movable holding elements 304 that act with the second holding force on the coupling area. In this arrangement the free end of the chain is held firmly. / In the third illustration, seen from the left, is the coupling area 302 in the area of action of the two movable holding elements 304 , however, these are only held with the first holding force and the connection can be released, for example to further open the vehicle door by hand. / The illustration on the right indicates that the coupling area 302 of the two movable holding elements 304 solves.

In one example is the recording 24 designed to switch from the first holding force to the second holding force in the presentation position and to close the vehicle door in a closed position. Another example is the recording 24 designed to release the second holding force in the closed position.

In one example is the recording 24 designed to switch from the released force to the first holding force in the closed position in order to move the vehicle door into the presentation position, ie to set it up.

For example, the movable holding elements 304 held spring-loaded in a holding direction in order to provide the first holding force. For the second holding force, the movable holding elements can be locked temporarily by an actuator. The holding elements 304 are movable with the actuator in a release direction against the first and second force in order to release the holding force.

In another example, the second holding force is provided by a spring load, and the actuator is used to weaken, i.e. counteract, the second holding force in order to generate the first holding force.

In one example, instead of or in addition to the spring load, the actuator is used for the first holding force in order to generate the first holding force.

In one example it is provided that the movable holding elements 304 are designed with a defined elasticity in order to release the coupling area in the event of an overload situation, for example in order to provide anti-trap protection when tightening. The release of the coupling area in the event of an overload situation is provided as an option.

14th shows a schematic representation of a further example of a receptacle for temporarily holding an extending free end of the transmission element. 15th shows a schematic representation of another example of a receptacle for temporarily holding an extending free end of the transmission element.

14th shows the free chain end with a coupling area 308 , which is formed, at least partially in the receptacle 24 protrude into it. The recording 24 has at least one bracing unit 310 with an actuator 312 on to the clutch area 308 to hold clamped, so that a releasable frictional connection can be generated based on the holding direction. At least one movably held bracing element 314 is provided with an adjustable force against the coupling area 308 is pressable. A first force and a second force can be set in order to generate the first holding force and the second holding force.

In one example, the actuator presses the bracing element 312 with a spring element 316 against the coupling area. The opposite bracing element is fixed, for example. A first double arrow 311 indicates the setting of the movable bracing element 312 at. Another double arrow 313 indicates the pressing by the spring element 316 at.

In one example it is provided that, in a holding state, the free end of the transmission element with the coupling area is in a first area 320 the receptacle protrudes and the receptacle a second area adjoining the first area 322 has, in which the coupling area can be moved in the event of an overload situation. The design of the second area as an overload clutch function is provided as an option. The second area can also be referred to as additional installation space. A first arrow 309 indicates the insertion of the coupling area 308 in the first area 320 at.

An overload in the closing direction of the vehicle door can be made possible by the additional installation space provided in the receiving element. This enables the positioning element to slip through in the event of an overload. The second area forms an overload clutch in the closing direction of the vehicle door. In the opening direction, an overload clutch is integrated due to the design-related non-positive connection.

14th shows an example in which the bracing unit has at least one bracing element with an eccentric disk 324 is held via an actuator 326 is adjustable to provide different holding forces.
