  • Publication number: 20120083386
    Abstract: A hybrid vehicle has an internal combustion engine and an electric engine. A drive arrangement for the vehicle has a crankshaft-side clutch part rigidly connected to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, and the crankshaft-side clutch part may be coupled to a drive train shaft-side clutch part via a clutch. The clutch part on the drive train shaft side is mechanically connected to a drive train shaft via at least one element for torsional vibration isolation. The drive train shaft is configured at least partially as a rotor of the electric engine. The crankshaft-side clutch part, the clutch and the drive train shaft-side clutch part form at least one part of the primary mass of a dual-mass flywheel. The drive train shaft forms at least one part of the secondary mass of the dual-mass flywheel.

  • Patent number: 7293330
    Abstract: A tubular handle for a manually guided implement, especially a power chain saw or the like, is provided. The handle has an essentially circular cross-section and at least one mounting portion for fixing the handle to the implement. In the area of the mounting portion, the circular cross-section is flattened to form an at least approximately planar abutment portion, beyond which a circular cross-sectional portion is retained. The abutment portion is provided for fixing the tubular handle to the implement.

  • Patent number: 5902014
    Abstract: A vehicle seat has an upholstery which is integrated in both eat part and in the backrest. A ventilation layer is provided through which air can flow, and an air-permeable upholstery cover spans the surface facing the sitting person, as well as having devices for ventilating the ventilation layer. For improving the sitting climate comfort, which also includes a rapidly effective cooling of the seat surfaces heated by sun radiation when the vehicle is entered and the removal of the transpiration moisture, and also for avoiding disturbing air connection hoses between the vehicle seat and the air-conditioner, the ventilation layer is arranged on an upholstery layer. Devices for ventilating the ventilation layer have a plurality of electrically driven miniature fans integrated in the upholstery layer. One miniature fan respectively is arranged in an air duct penetrating the upholstery layer from the underside to the ventilation layer.
