  • Patent number: 8282821
    Abstract: An oil filter assembly (10) has a receiving chamber (18) that can be closed by a cover element (14) and a spring-loaded supporting tube (22) that is fixed in the receiving chamber and is designed to receive a filter element (20) that can be radially traversed by oil. The supporting tube (22) is axially displaceable between an operating position and a drain position in such a way that, in the operating position when the receiving chamber is closed by the cover element (14), the tube closes a drain opening (42). When the receiving chamber is open in the drain position, the tube releases the drain opening. The supporting tube is mounted to rotate through a rotational angle that is limited by two rotational stops (41, 43) in the housing and the cover element has follower sections (66, 68, 70) that co-operate with the supporting tube and/or filter element to rotate the supporting tube through the rotational angle when the cover element is screwed on and/or unscrewed.

  • Publication number: 20020005279
    Abstract: The invention concerns a use of a heat exchanger for temperature control or air conditioning in rooms. The heat exchanger has a media guiding body having two groups of crossing channels (24,46) or (110,112) for media to be separately guided, wherein one channel group (24;110) is formed like a pipe and the other channel group (46;112) is formed like a shaft, wherein the latter channel group (46;112) is formed by bridges (30;126) provided on the outside at a distance from one another and oriented transverse to the pipe axis, wherein the pipe-like channels (24;110) and the bridges (30;126) are commonly produced from at least one formed sheet (140) consisting of thermoplastic material (32) or of a thermally conducting metal.

  • Patent number: 6264449
    Abstract: A plastic toothed wheel for a toothed wheel pump comprises a wheel body (20) having external or internal teeth. To keep the weight of this toothed wheel as low as possible, its teeth (26) have at least one cavity (32) accessible from at least one end face of the tooth. Toothed wheel pumps having such toothed wheels for supplying and pressurizing engine oil in automotive vehicle engines avoid splashing losses caused by the cavities (32) by closing the cavities or filling them up with a temperature and media resistant foam material (66).
