  • Motor vehicle, especially convertible, including actively controlled torsion stabilizers
    Patent number: 6764086
    Abstract: A motor vehicle, especially a convertible, includes a torsion stabilizer unit including a hydraulic actuator unit. The hydraulic actuator unit may be designed as a flexible hose actuator unit or tube actuator unit through which a hydraulic medium flows. The motor vehicle further includes a control unit to actively control the length of the hose actuator unit to counteract sensed torsion of the body of the motor vehicle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2002

  • Motor vehicle with vibration damper
    Patent number: 6206460
    Abstract: A motor vehicle, particularly a convertible, with a vehicle body to which longitudinally moving struts are assigned and with a supporting frame which includes a longitudinally moving strut, is constructed so that at least one of the struts is constructed so that its length can be varied and has assigned to it an absorbing unit for determining a longitudinal stress, a control element for bringing about a counterforce as well as a control unit for the control element.
