Abstract
Abstract A circuit arrangement in motor vehicles with electrical adjusting members coordinated to equipment components, to which belongs individually a manually actuatable switch and a control unit which upon initiation thereof, energizes the adjusting member for the automatic displacement of the equipment component into an end position; the control units are thereby adapted to be de-energized during the time interval engagement of the adjusting member upon actuation of any switch even prior to reaching the end position. A frequently cumbersome locating of the associated individual switch, respectively, the correct actuation during the automatic movement of the equipment component is dispensed with thereby.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A circuit arrangement in motor vehicles, comprising equipment components, electric adjusting means for each of said equipment components, a plurality manually actuable switch means and control means which is operable upon initiation thereof to activate the adjusting means for the automatic displacement of the respective equipment component into an end position, the control means being operable to de-energize all of said adjusting means during the time interval of activation of the adjusting means by the control means upon actuation of any of the switch means even prior to reaching the end position of the equipment component.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A circuit arrangement in motor vehicles, comprising equipment components, electric adjusting means for each of said equipment components, a plurality manually actuable switch means and control means which is operable upon initiation thereof to activate the adjusting means for the automatic displacement of the respective equipment component into an end position, the control means being operable to de-energize all of said adjusting means during the time interval of activation of the adjusting means by the control means upon actuation of any of the switch means even prior to reaching the end position of the equipment component.
