Patents by Inventor Juergen Berbuer

Juergen Berbuer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9784252
    Abstract: A hydrostatic radial piston machine includes a radial cylinder block with cylinder bores which extend from an outer circumferential surface of the radial cylinder block into an interior of the radial cylinder block; a number of pistons which corresponds to the number of cylinder bores; a cam ring, and ends of the pistons which face away from the radial cylinder piston block are supported movably on an inner circumferential surface of the radial cylinder block during a rotation of the radial cylinder block; two control plate elements which extend respectively with a face oriented towards the radial cylinder block towards a central plane of the radial cylinder block, which central plane is perpendicular to the rotation axis. Each control plate element includes a bearing portion in which radially acting forces are transferable to a respective mating surface in the housing or housing cover mounted in the housing.

  • Patent number: 7357150
    Abstract: A safety shut-off device for sections of fluid circuits, which in case of damage or the like, have to shut off from each other on safety considerations. The safety shut-off device includes at least two valves connected to each other via a control chamber. A first pressure differential with the control chamber closes the valves and a second pressure differential, which is greater than the first, opens the valves.

  • Patent number: 7165569
    Abstract: The invention relates to a safety shut-off device for sections of fluid circuits, which in case of damage or the like, have to shut off from each other on safety considerations. The safety shut-off device includes two chambers with connections for the sections to be shut off from each other. The chambers are separated from each other by a piston and have two connections each, of which one is closed by closing elements with sealing force elements, when both chambers have the same pressure. Further, two actuating devices are provided which are functionally connected to the closing elements and the piston. When the piston is moved due to a pressure difference between the connections, the closing element in the chamber with the higher pressure opens the associated connection so that fluid can flow from a section with higher pressure into the other section with lower pressure.

The safety shut-off device includes two chambers with connections for the sections to be shut off from each other. The chambers are separated from each other by a piston and have two connections each, of which one is dosed by closing elements with sealing force elements, when both chambers have the same pressure. Further, two actuating devices are provided which are functionally connected to the closing elements and the piston. When the piston is moved due to a pressure difference between the connections, the closing element in the chamber with the higher pressure opens the associated connection so that fluid can flow from a section with higher pressure into the other section with lower pressure.
