From the connectors 24 foam side outgoing lines 25 unite with the emerging from the housing 18 cables 19 to a wiring harness 26 which, embedded in the insulating foam of the housing, to a (not shown) engine room of the device.

In den Steckverbinder 24 hinter dem seitlichen Element 15 ist ein komplementärer Steckverbinder 27 eines Versorgungskabels 28 eingesteckt, das sich durch einen Kanal 29 des Beschlagteils 6 hindurch in die Tür 7 hinein erstreckt. Um den Türanschlag zu ändern, genügt es, die Beschlagteile 6 wie bereits erwähnt zu versetzen, den Steckverbinder 27 mit dem linken Steckverbinder 24 zu verbinden und die seitlichen Elemente 4, 5 miteinander zu vertauschen.In the connector 24 behind the side member 15, a complementary connector 27 of a supply cable 28 is inserted, which extends through a channel 29 of the fitting 6 into the door 7 inside. To change the door stop, it is sufficient to put the fitting parts 6 as already mentioned, to connect the connector 27 to the left connector 24 and to interchange the lateral elements 4, 5 with each other.

Die in Fig. 3 gezeigte Ausgestaltung unterscheidet sich von denjenigen der Fig. 2 im Wesentlichen dadurch, dass das Gehäuse 18 verbreitert ist, um nicht nur den zentralen Ausschnitt 17, sondern auch die seitlichen Ausschnitte 22 zu überdecken. Die an diesen Ausschnitten 22 angeordneten Fassungen 23 brauchen, da sie durch das verbreiterte Gehäuse 18 von dem Isolierschaum getrennt sind, selbst nicht schaumdicht zu sein. Die Anordnung der Blendenelemente 13, 14, 15, der Beschlagteile 6 und des Versorgungskabels 28 ist dieselbe wie bei der Ausgestaltung der Fig. 2. Der Kabelbaum 26 erstreckt sich geschlossen zwischen dem Gehäuse 18 und dem Maschinenraum; erst innerhalb des Gehäuses 18 findet eine Verzweigung in Leitungen 19 der elektronischen Schaltungskomponenten und Leitungen 25 zu den Steckverbindern 24 statt.In the Fig. 3 embodiment shown differs from those of Fig. 2 essentially in that the housing 18 is widened to cover not only the central cutout 17 but also the lateral cutouts 22. The arranged on these cutouts 22 sockets 23 need, since they are separated by the widened housing 18 of the insulating foam, itself not to be foam-tight. The arrangement of the diaphragm elements 13, 14, 15, the fitting parts 6 and the supply cable 28 is the same as in the embodiment of Fig. 2 , The harness 26 extends closed between the housing 18 and the engine room; only within the housing 18 is a branching in lines 19 of the electronic circuit components and lines 25 to the connectors 24 instead.
