Abstract
Anti-pinching means for vehicles with at least two sensor arrangements (16, 16n, 17, 17n) for detecting the danger of pinching by at least one vehicle part (10, 10a, 10b) which can be moved by a driving means (12, 13, 14, 14a, 14b), and for delivery of pinching danger signals to an evaluation means (18) which is assigned jointly to the two sensor arrangements. The evaluation device (18) is designed such that it switches the driving means into an operating mode which prevents pinching via a drive control (15) when the pinching danger signals of the two sensor arrangements differ by a predetermined minimum value from one another.

Anti-pinch device for vehicles, comprising:
- a drive control for controlling a driving means for moving at least one movable vehicle part,
- at least two sensor arrangements for detecting the danger of pinching by said at least one movable vehicle part, and
- an evaluation means assigned jointly to the two sensor arrangements for receiving signals from both of the sensor arrangements and for causing the drive control to switch the driving means into an operating mode which prevents pinching when the pinching danger signals of the two sensor arrangements differ by a predetermined minimum value from one another.
A vehicle, comprising:
- at least one movable vehicle part, and
- an anti-pinch device, said anti-pinch device comprising:
- a drive control for controlling a driving means for moving said at least one movable vehicle part,
- at least two sensor arrangements for detecting the danger of pinching by said at least one movable vehicle part, and
- an evaluation means assigned jointly to the two sensor arrangements for receiving signals from both of the sensor arrangements and for causing the drive control to switch the driving means into an operating mode which prevents pinching when the pinching danger signals of the two sensor arrangements differ by a predetermined minimum value from one another.
