Patent number: 11916465Abstract: A compensating element having a first and a second assembly, wherein a locking mechanism is provided which can be switched over between a first and a second operating state. In the first operating state, the first assembly is connected fixedly to the second assembly and, in the second operating state, the first and second assemblies are connected to each other via a spring mechanism in such a manner that they are movable relative to each other. The locking mechanism includes an electric motor that can be used to switch over between the first and the second operating state. A locking ring is or is not braced against at least three balls depending on its rotational position with respect to a center axis. The locking ring is connected in terms of rotary drive to the electric motor via a torsion spring which is elastic with respect to the center axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Danzberger, Andreas Rueb, Christoph Janssen, Efim Kuhn, Fan Yang, Markus Groganz, Peter Schlegel, Sebastian Siedler, Thomas Dickmann

Patent number: 8480129Abstract: A steering column for a motor vehicle comprises a casing unit, which serves to rotatably mount a steering spindle section adjoining a steering-wheel-side end, and at least one support piece which can be fastened at one side to a motor vehicle part fixed with respect to the body and which is or can be fixedly connected at the other side to the casing unit. At least one rupturing region is formed, along which, when a displacement force which exceeds a predefined release force acts in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the steering spindle section adjoining the steering-wheel-side end, the connection of the support piece to the casing unit or the support piece can be ruptured, wherein a displacement of the casing unit relative to the part fixed with respect to the body takes place.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2010Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Thyssenkrupp Presta AktiengesellschaftInventors: Markus Schlegel, Felipe Segatto, Stefan Mützner, Nicolas Jacques
