Abstract
A device for the operation of an electrical load is arranged in and/or on a movable transparent panel element. A supply and/or signal line is arranged between at least one energy source and the electrical load. The supply and/or signal line is arranged on a lever assembly, and can be guided by the lever assembly.
Claims8
A device comprising:
- a lever assembly;
- a linear guiderail;
- and
- a carrier, comprising an electric motor, moveably mounted on the linear guiderail, wherein
- the device is arranged in or on a movable transparent panel element,
- a supply or signal line is arranged between at least one source of energy and an electrical load,
- the lever assembly has a first end coupled to the carrier and that is closer to the movable transparent panel element, and a second end that is closer to an opening in a door module base support,
- the supply or signal line is attached to the lever assembly and the lever assembly is configured to guide the supply or signal line such that the supply or signal line remains taut between the first end of the lever assembly and the movable transparent panel element,
- the lever assembly comprises a first lever and a second lever each having a first and second end portion,
- the first and second levers being coupled via a pivot joint having a pivot joint axis about which the pivot joint rotates and being arranged so that the pivot joint moves from a first position in which the pivot joint axis is offset with respect to the guiderail to a second position in which the pivot joint axis extends through the guiderail,
- the second lever has a first longitudinal axis and the second end portion of the second lever has a second longitudinal axis that forms an oblique angle with the first longitudinal axis such that the second end portion is curved in the direction of the carrier and connects to a side of the carrier, and
- the carrier is coupled to the moveable transparent panel element and the lever assembly so that linear movement of the carrier along the linear guiderail by the motor causes linear movement of the transparent panel element and circular movement of the first and second levers of the lever assembly.
