Patent number: 10046787Abstract: A steering wheel for a vehicle is provided. The steering wheel includes a steering wheel rim with an operating member formed as a ring segment of the steering wheel rim and has an exterior shell with at least a first shell part and a second shell part. The exterior shell is configured to at least partially rotate from an initial position around a framework structure. At least one first switch is switchable to at least partially rotate the exterior shell from the initial position around the framework structure. The exterior shell is in the initial position, at least one of the first shell part and the second shell part are actuated toward or away from the framework structure to switch at least one second switch.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors Corporation, Marquardt GmbHInventors: Firat Tapti, Volker Prescher, Daniel Gruler, Lutz Bauer, Lucian Vulcu, Florin Adrian Similie

Patent number: 8813689Abstract: A centrifugal fan with a pot-like impeller and with a housing, having a first circumferential wall region with an arc-like curvature which extends directly along the impeller. The housing includes in a direction of rotation of the impeller a second circumferential region with a radial distance from the impeller increasing spirally up to an outlet region. The housing includes in an opposite direction a third circumferential wall region extending to the outlet region, having an S-curvature and including a sub-region curved in the same direction as the first circumferential wall region forming a flow baffle element. Two side walls cover the axial end faces of the impeller wherein one of the side walls extends into the pot-like impeller and divides its interior into a first suction chamber having an intake and a second suction chamber. The outlet region expands in cross-section in the outlet flow direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2007Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignees: Punker GmbH, Alfred Karchner GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7946377Abstract: The subframe contains a framework which is cast as a single part and has profiled hollow members for the longitudinal and cross members. The cross members are connected to each other via supporting pillars at the corners, or are integrally formed on the supporting pillars. Arms which protrude outward are integrally formed on the supporting pillars or on the longitudinal and cross members, the end sides of which arms have connecting bearings toward the vehicle body. A differential is held on the two cross members, the differential having one mounting on the front cross member and two mountings on the rear cross member. The longitudinal members have a curved passage opening for the drive shafts of the differential. Mountings for wheel guiding links are arranged on the outside of the longitudinal member.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2009Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AGInventors: Wilhelm Frasch, Lutz Bauer, Reinhard Kunert

Publication number: 20110044808Abstract: Proposed is a centrifugal fan with a pot-like impeller (10) and with a housing (11) accommodating the impeller (10), the circumferential wall (18) of which, starting from a first circumferential wall region (19) with an arc-like curvature which extends directly along the impeller (10), comprises on the one hand in the direction of rotation of the impeller (10) a second circumferential region (20) with a radial distance from the impeller (10) increasing spirally up to an outlet region (21) and on the other hand against the direction of rotation of the impeller (10) a third circumferential wall region (22) likewise extending to the outlet region (21). Two side walls (25, 26) cover the axial end faces of the impeller (10), wherein a partition (28) on one of the side walls extends into the pot-shaped impeller (10) and divides its interior into a first (V1) and a second (V2) suction chamber, an intake (29) being assigned to the first suction chamber (V1).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2007Publication date: February 24, 2011Inventors: Ernst Claussen, Joachim Peetz, Gerd Wegner, Ralph Seitter, Lutz Bauer

Publication number: 20100078050Abstract: The invention relates to a high-pressure cleaning device having a housing in which a pump and a drive motor are disposed, it being possible for pressurized liquid to be delivered by the pump via a high-pressure hose and it being possible for the high-pressure hose to be wound onto a hose drum which is mounted within the housing such that it can rotate about a rotation axis, and for said high-pressure hose to be routed out of the housing at the rear. In order to develop the high-pressure cleaning device in such a way that it has a shorter structure, the invention proposes aligning the rotation axis of the hose drum parallel to the horizontal axis of the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2009Publication date: April 1, 2010Applicant: Alfred Kaercher GmbH & Co.
