Patent number: 10745033Abstract: A pneumatic pump device coupled to a container for flowable material includes a jet pump with at least one intake duct extending away from the container and leading into the jet pump and an air supply duct extending away from the container and to which pressure can be applied or which leads to an outer surface of the pneumatic pump device. The intake duct and air supply duct have essentially the same orientation in the region of the container and are advantageously inclined relative to the vertical by not more than 40°. A metering system includes a container and such a pneumatic pump device coupled thereto and the use of the pneumatic pump device or metering system in a sanding system of a rail vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2016Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE GESELLSCHAFT MIT BESCHRÄNKTER HAFTUNGInventors: Georg Krismanic, Albert Schneider

Patent number: 10126365Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for monitoring at least one electronic switching contact for a door system for a vehicle, wherein the switching contact has a first connection for a first electrical line and a second connection for a second electrical line. The method comprises a step of reading a first signal from a first monitoring point connected to the first connection in order to obtain a first monitoring signal, a step of reading a second signal from a second monitoring point connected to the second connection in order to obtain a second monitoring signal, and a step of combining the first monitoring signal and the second monitoring signal in order to determine at least one state of the at least one switching contact.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2014Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE GESELLSCHAFT MIT BESCHRÄNKTER HAFTUNGInventors: Andreas Mair, Günther Bernecker

Patent number: 9963923Abstract: A door leaf for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, wherein the door leaf has a door leaf frame, a first skin mounted on a first main surface of the door leaf frame, and a second skin mounted on a second main surface opposite the first main surface. The door leaf has a heat path from the first skin to the second skin through at least two different materials, wherein the at least two different materials have a different thermal conductivity, wherein a first material of the at least two different materials has a poorer thermal conductivity than metal, in particular a poorer thermal conductivity than aluminum.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2013Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE GESELLSCHAFT MIT BESCHRÄNKTER HAFTUNGInventors: Peter Jetzinger, Thomas Witzelnig, Gerald Hölzl

Patent number: 9505330Abstract: An entry aid for a rail vehicle or a motor vehicle have a step, which is movably supported on rolling elements and/or sliding surfaces, and a drive, which is coupled to the step for extending and retracting the step. The rolling elements/sliding surfaces are positioned in exactly three support regions at a distance from one another and arranged in a triangle. Alternatively the rolling elements/sliding surfaces can be arranged on rockers, and bearing points of the rockers can be positioned in exactly three support regions at a distance from one another and arranged in a triangle.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE GESELLSCHAFT MIT BESCHRÄNKTER HAFTUNGInventors: Andreas Hirtenlehner, Johann Wilflinger
