Patent number: 4429588Abstract: A steering wheel for a motor vehicle, particularly for a tractor. The steering wheel has spokes which engage the steering wheel rim and are connected directly or indirectly with the steering shaft. A stationary plate is arranged in, and is axially and/or radially spaced from, the steering wheel rim. The plate preferably serves for receiving or mounting indicator instruments. A dish-shaped part with an acute flank angle is arranged between the steering wheel spokes and the steering shaft as a transfer member for the rotary movements serving for steering. The dish-shaped part tapers toward the steering shaft and is rotatably journalled on a stationary vehicle part and is rigidly connected with a gear which meshes directly or indirectly with a gear seated or located secure against rotation on the steering shaft. Furthermore, the dish-shaped part serves to receive a holder for the stationary plate as well as for the instruments arranged on its backside.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1981Date of Patent: February 7, 1984Assignee: Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz AktiengesellschaftInventors: Horst Emundts, Manfred Hoyer, Walter Vogel

Patent number: 4390427Abstract: A plate-type filter lubricating oil or the like. The filter includes a cylindrical, rotatable filter element which is to be cleaned in closed condition by flow reversal along a portion of the filter surface. During the normal operation the entire filter surface is to be effectively available. The device includes a rinsing channel wall having a U-shaped profile, one leg of which constantly engages against the filter element and consequently serves as a wiper body during rotation of the element. To clean the filter element, both legs are pressed against the element, so that a rinsing channel results which communicates with a rinse-out opening and represents a back or return flow through the filter surface. A combination of two such filters provides an advantageous device for machines that are continuously operated.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1981Date of Patent: June 28, 1983Assignee: Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz AktiengesellschaftInventor: Dieter Hunten

Patent number: 4368702Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating an air-compressing, self-igniting combustion machine or engine, for liquid fuels, which has a combustion chamber depression, in the piston, into which fuel is sprayed or injected essentially centrally, preferably in a direction toward the depression wall, and in which the combustion air rotates at the time of injection. Oxygen-containing fuel that is reluctant to ignite is injected through an injection device into the combustion chamber depression, and an ignitible fuel is sprayed or injected through a second injection device, with an overlap in the injection times of the ignitible fuel and the oxygen-containing fuel that is reluctant to ignite. Ignition of the oil fuel, gas oil or Diesel fuel starts before injection of the oxygen-containing fuel that is reluctant to ignite. After approximately 2/3 of the injection time of the Diesel fuel, there begins the injection of the oxygen-containing fuel which is reluctant to ignite.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1980Date of Patent: January 18, 1983Assignee: Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz AktiengesellschaftInventors: Gerhard Finsterwalder, Jakob Saftig
