Patent number: 8881876Abstract: A device for use in the control of mechanical forces is provided. The device includes first and second terminals for connection to components in a system for controlling mechanical forces and independently moveable. The device further comprises a hydraulic device connected between the terminals and containing a liquid. The hydraulic device is configured to produce upon relative movement of the terminals, a liquid flow to generate an inertial force due to the mass of the liquid to control the mechanical forces at the terminals such that they are substantially proportional to the relative acceleration between the terminals.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignees: Cambridge Enterprise Limited, McLaren Racing LimitedInventors: Malcolm C.

Publication number: 20120242057Abstract: A damper unit and its employment as part of the suspension system for a vehicle are disclosed. A vehicle of the kind having wheels arranged in left-right pairs has a sprung mass and left and right unsprung masses associated with left and right wheels of a said left-right pair. Respective left and right damper units are mounted between the respective left and right unsprung masses and the sprung mass. Each damper unit has a damper housing defining first and second generally cylindrical chambers therewithin having a common axis. The first and second chambers are separated from each other in the axial direction by an intermediate wall. The first chamber has a first axial end wall at its end remote from the intermediate wall, and the second chamber has a second axial end wall at its end remote from the intermediate wall. A first piston is slidable in sealing engagement with the interior of the first chamber. A second piston is slidable in sealing engagement with the interior of the second chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2010Publication date: September 27, 2012Applicant: MCLAREN AUTOMOTIVE LIMITEDInventors: Anthony Richard Glover, Paul Andrew Burnham
