  • Patent number: 8529358
    Abstract: Rotational coupling is provided having: a first carrier body with a first base section and a plurality of first coupling arms extending from the first base section spaced in a circumferential direction, each having a first coupling section jointly defining a first plane running concentrically and perpendicularly to a rotational axis, a second carrier body including a second base section and a plurality of second coupling arms extending from the second base section spaced in the circumferential direction, each having a second coupling section jointly defining a second plane running concentrically and perpendicularly to the rotational axis, first and second carrier bodies arranged such that the planes coincide, the coupling arms facing one another, alternately interengaging and circumferentially spaced, base sections oriented oppositely along the rotational axis, and each of the coupling sections coupled via elastic link elements to the coupling sections respectively adjacent on both sides.

  • Publication number: 20050166757
    Abstract: A supplemental filter for use in combination with a conventional annular air filter of an internal combustion engine. The supplemental filter in accordance with the present invention is for use in trapping hydrocarbon emissions. The supplemental filter includes a flexible cover which snugly envelops the conventional annular filter. Further, the supplemental filter includes means to effect sealing the flexible cover against opposite axial ends of the conventional filter. The supplemental filter further includes means, carried by the flexible cover, for distributing carbon media over a significant portion of the flexible cover.
