  • Patent number: 11215213
    Abstract: An attachment device for attaching a component to a support component, in particular a support component of a vehicle, includes a retaining element which can be inserted into an opening of the support component and which has a latching feature for releasably latching to the opening of the support component. A locking element can be inserted into the retaining element, wherein, when the locking element is inserted into the retaining element, the latching feature of the retaining element is/are blocked so as to prevent release of the latching. The retaining element has a sealing ring for bearing in a sealing manner against the opening of the support component, which sealing ring, when inserted into the opening of the support component, bears in a sealing manner against opposite sides of the support component.

  • Patent number: 7726438
    Abstract: Disclosed is a hydraulic steering system (100) for a vehicle, especially a mobile working machine, comprising at least two steering cylinders (1, 2) within which two cylinder pistons (3, 4) can be displaced, and a first hydraulic pump (14) that can be adjusted regarding the swept volume. The position or the direction of displacement of the cylinder pistons (3, 4) in the steering cylinders (3, 4) defines the steering angle or the steering direction of the steerable vehicle wheels relative to a body (5) of the vehicle. The displaceable cylinder pistons (3, 4) divide the associated steering cylinder (1, 2) into two respective pressure chambers (6 and 7, 8 and 9).

  • Patent number: 7415821
    Abstract: A hydraulic motor unit including a hydraulic motor (1?) which is connected to two working lines (3,4). The swiveling angle (?) of the hydraulic motor (1?) is adjustable by an adjusting unit (7) which is provided with a regulating piston (8) having two piston surfaces (9, 10). The regulation pressure acting on a first piston surface (10) in a regulation pressure chamber (12) can be adjusted by a control valve (13). The control valve (13) adjusting the regulation pressure is movable between two final positions. The pressure of a working line (3, 4) is applied to a first measuring surface (23) of the control valve (13) adjusting the regulation pressure while a second, opposite measuring surface (25) of the control valve (13) is impinged upon by a control pressure piston (34) at a force that depends on the control pressure only once a threshold value of a pipe (28, 18?) supplying control pressure has been exceeded.

  • Publication number: 20070175210
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control and adjustment system for a lifting mechanism (100) of a loading blade (6) in a mobile machine tool. Said lifting mechanism is made up of at least one first and second blade cylinder (1, 2), at least one first and second lifting cylinder (61, 62) and one first and second hydropump (15, 75) which can be adjusted with regard to the pump volume. The adjusting pistons (3, 5) which can be displaced in the first and second blade cylinders (1, 2), respectively, separate both blade cylinders (1, 2) into two adjusting pressure chambers (7 and 8, 9 and 10). The adjusting pistons (63, 65) which can be displaced in the two lifting cylinders (61, 62) respectively separate the two lifting cylinders (61, 62) into the two adjusting pressure chambers (67 and 68, 69 and 70) in an analogous manner.
