Adjusting motor for automobile seats

Abstract

A control circuit within a control housing that is powered by means of a pluggable plug device may be plugged into an adjusting motor including a motor housing. The control housing may be affixed to the motor housing using a form or friction fit. The motor housing includes a plug device for optional connection with a matching plug device to supply power via a cable or from the output of the control circuit, whereby the control circuit includes a plug device matching the plug device on the motor housing and the plug device forming the output.

1 . An adjusting motor including a motor housing into which a control circuit mounted in a control housing may be plugged, that may be supplied with power by means of a connectible plug device, wherein the control housing ( 2   a ) includes a securing area ( 2   c ) form-fit to the motor housing, and wherein the motor housing includes a plug connection for optional connection with a matching plug device for power supply by means of a cable or from the output of the control circuit, and whereby the control circuit includes a plug device matching the plug device on the motor housing, and the plug device forming the output.  
     
     
         2 . The adjusting motor as in  claim 1 , wherein the control housing may be locked into a fixed position on the motor housing.  
     
     
         3 . The adjusting motor as in  claim 1 , wherein locking between the plug device of the motor housing and the matching plug device of the control housing is provided.  
     
     
         4 . The adjusting motor as in  claim 3 , wherein the locking is achieved using a spring-loaded securing device that is shaped to engage with a matching recess.  
     
     
         5 . The adjusting motor as in  claim 1 , wherein the plug device of the motor housing and the matching plug device of the control housing are arranged in a fixed configuration with respect to each other.  
     
     
         6 . The adjusting motor as in  claim 1 , wherein the securing area includes a holding bracket that at least partially surrounds the motor housing.  
     
     
         7 . The adjusting motor as in  claim 1 , wherein the plug device of the motor housing and the plug device of the control housing point in opposite directions when in a connected condition.  
     
     
         8 . The adjusting motor as in  claim 1 , wherein the control housing with its securing area may be inserted onto the motor housing in the direction of the rotational axis of the adjusting motor, and whose matching plug device may be inserted into the plug device of the motor housing when it is installed.  
     
     
         9 . The adjusting motor as in  claim 1 , wherein an interior shaped surface of the securing area and an adjacent area of the control housing matches an exterior shaped surface of the motor housing.  
     
     
         10 . An adjusting motor including a motor housing into which a control circuit mounted in a control housing may be plugged, that may be supplied with power by means of a connectible plug device, wherein the control housing ( 2   a ) includes a securing area ( 2   c ) form-fit to the motor housing, and wherein the motor housing includes a plug connection for optional connection with a matching plug device for power supply by means of a cable or from the output of the control circuit, and whereby the control circuit includes a plug device matching the plug device on the motor housing, and the plug device forming the output, and wherein an interior shaped surface of the securing area and an adjacent area of the control housing matches an exterior shaped surface of the motor housing.  
     
     
         11 . An adjusting motor for automobile seats with a motor housing onto which a control circuit mounted in a control housing may be plugged, that may be supplied with power by means of a pluggable plug device: 
 wherein the control housing may be affixed to the motor housing in any position by means of a securing strap surrounding the motor housing, and wherein the motor housing includes a plug device for optional connection with a matching plug device to supply power by means of a cable or from the output of the control circuit, whereby the control circuit includes a plug device matching the plug device on the motor housing, as well as the matching plug device connected with the control circuit by means of cable.    
     
     
         12 . The adjusting motor as in  claim 11 , wherein the control housing may be affixed to the motor housing using two parallel, separated securing straps.  
     
     
         13 . The adjusting motor as in  claim 11 , wherein the securing straps are cable ties that include a securing aperture on one end and a toothed engaging area that passes through the aperture and cannot be pulled out against the insertion direction.
