Publication number: 20240125362Abstract: A pulsation damper for damping pressure medium vibrations in a hydraulic system, has a membrane within a bore of a housing, which membrane is exposed to the pressure medium on its one side and faces a gas-filled cavity inside the housing on its other side, the bore of which is closed by means of a plug. The membrane, in conjunction with the plug and a hollow-cylindrical support body, forms an independently handleable, functionally pre-testable assembly, for which purpose the membrane is substantially cup-shaped, and the support body extends into it.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2020Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Continental Teves AG & Co.

Patent number: 7461906Abstract: The invention solves the problem of supplying fresh fluid, in particular in electrohydraulic brake systems, to all areas of the conduit systems that are not reached in a conventional brake fluid change. Therefore, the invention provides that a change of the pressure fluid be assisted by a hydraulic pump, during which change among others pressure fluid is delivered by means of the pump out of the pressure fluid reservoir through the inlet valves and out of the system through opened wheel bleeder connections.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2003Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Continental Teves Ag & Co. oHGInventors: Martin Baechle, Axel Wagner, Michael Hitzel

Patent number: 7374253Abstract: The invention discloses a method for determining the air content of the brake fluid in a hydraulic braking system. This method also permits determining the quality of the bleeding of the braking system. The principle of the method is a comparison of the volume intake with the respectively achieved pressure. The correlation is compared to nominal values. As the volume intake is determined by the clearance, the system is set by means of a pre-actuation to an initial condition before each actual measurement.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2003Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Gunther Buschmann, Martin Baechle, Axel Wagner, Michael Hitzel

Publication number: 20060192426Abstract: The problem underlying the invention resides in that in particular in electrohydraulic brake systems certain areas in the conduit system are not reached during conventional bleeding. This especially occurs if, during repair work carried out on the system, the intake conduit of the pump of the system is detached. Accordingly, in the practice of the invention, a pump-operated bleeding is provided wherein, among other things, pressure fluid from the pressure fluid reservoir, with the outlet valves opened, is returned, by means of the outlet valves, by the pump to the reservoir. To that effect, the pump and the outlet valves, respectively, can be actuated in clockwise manner, thereby producing pressure pulses capable to remove adhering air bubbles.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2003Publication date: August 31, 2006Inventors: Martin Baechle, Axel Wagner, Michael Hitzel

Patent number: 6424924Abstract: A method and a device are provided for determining the amount of fuel in the fuel tank of a motor vehicle. The fuel tank has a main storage reservoir which is provided with a filling level meter for determining the respective fuel therein and a reserve reservoir which is of substantially smaller volume in comparison with the main storage reservoir, which is closed in itself, and which is supplied with fuel by a pump from the main storage reservoir. After the main storage reservoir is emptied, the fuel reserve which is then still contained in the reserve reservoir is calculated as the difference of a defined volume of the reserve reservoir (12) and the fuel consumption summed over time.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2000Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Kautex Textron GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6359787Abstract: Portable electronic apparatus such as a radio telephone includes an outer housing containing electronic components for its operation. A printed circuit board assembly including, for example, a printed circuit board and an accompanying protective shield member, is mounted on supports integral with the interior structure of the outer housing so as to be physically spaced from the outer housing and from the electronic components contained within the outer housing. Resilient cushion members in the form of resilient or rubber-like pads are interposed between the printed circuit board assembly and the supports thereby substantially isolating the printed circuit board from the effect of a physical shock to the outer housing, as would occur if the apparatus were dropped. More specifically, wherein the resilient cushion members firmly engage the printed circuit board at a plurality of spaced locations engaged, variously, with the upper surface, with the lower surface, and with the peripheral edge.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2000Date of Patent: March 19, 2002Assignee: Nokia Mobile PhonesInventors: Ari Peltolehto, Maja Lund, Peter Gorm Christensen, Hannu Hyytiainen, Kim Sulkakoski, Jari Viitala, Axel Wagner

Patent number: 6192869Abstract: A fuel tank has a delivery unit which is arranged within the tank body and which has a reservoir. The delivery unit can be introduced into the tank body through a closable opening in the wall thereof. The tank further includes a filling level measuring device which is arranged outside the reservoir of the delivery unit and which can also be introduced into the tank body through the opening. The measuring device can be introduced into the tank body separately from the delivery unit and is held in its operative position by a holder mounted to the opening. The holder can be in the form of a ring mounted to the edge of the opening.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1999Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: Kautex Textron GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6176260Abstract: A fuel tank for a motor vehicle, comprising a tank body with a smaller reservoir which is arranged therein and which is inserted into the tank body through a closable opening in the wall thereof, and joined thereto. The reservoir is deformable at least in portions of the wall defining same. After the reservoir has been at least partially inserted into the tank body, it undergoes a change in shape resulting in an increase in its volume within the tank body and a change in its cross-section such that the largest cross-section of the reservoir is larger than the cross-section of the opening of the wall in the tank body, that is available for insertion of the reservoir. The reservoir is defined at its ends by rigid components and the deformable wall portion of the reservoir is in the region between those components.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1999Date of Patent: January 23, 2001Assignee: Kautex Textron GmbH & Co.
