  • Brake circuit with primary electrical brake pressure control and secondary failure responsive mechanical brake pressure control
    Patent number: 5145239
    Abstract: A known brake circuit comprises a mechanical brake-pressure control device and an electrical brake-pressure control device. The mechanical brake-pressure control device is furnished for assuring an emergency operation in case of a fault of the normally predominance-taking electrical brake-pressure control device. The known brake circuit can be controlled only then in a load-dependent way, when both the mechanical as well as the electrical brake-pressure control unit comprise a load-dependent automatic brake-pressure controller. According to the invention, a restraining device (103 3, 5) is furnished in the mechanical brake-prerssure control device (103 3, 5). The restraining device (3) allows for passage of the brake pressure, set in the mechanical brake-pressure control device (103 3, 5), only in case of a fault in the electrical brake-pressure control device (106 6, 9, 12, 13).

  • Piston cylinder and head for compressors
    Patent number: 4408967
    Abstract: A piston cylinder and head arrangement for compressors including a valve plate disposed between a piston housing and the head. An intake valve, a discharge valve, and an atmospheric vent valve are all operably disposed in the valve plate, and are all arranged relative to each other and relative to an intake chamber, a compression chamber, and cooling chambers so as to necessitate only one sealing gasket for sealing said valves and said chambers from each other during certain operational phases of the compressor. The arrangement further includes a piston operable responsively to discharge pressure in excess of a certain high degree for diverting such pressure output from the pressure discharge valve to the atmospheric vent valve until such pressure drops below the certain high degree.

  • Method of coating the working surfaces of piston operating devices
    Patent number: 4395442
    Abstract: A method of protecting the frictional engaging surfaces of an aluminum alloy piston-cylinder machine, including the steps of: coating the surface of one of the piston-cylinder members with an epoxy-resin in which is mixed a ceramic oxide material, placing the coated member in a drier oven, and heating and curing the epoxy-resin and ceramic oxide coating for at least one hour at a temperature of approximately 220.degree. C.
