  • Mudflap for vehicles
    Patent number: 5205590
    Abstract: A mudflap for vehicles, whereby said the mudflap has a flat main body (1) with ribs (11), arranged in a V-formation for the intercepting, slowing-down and diverting of water thrown up from the wheel of a vehicle, and channels (24, 26, 29), for guiding water intercepted and diverted in the central area (9) down and away, located in two side areas (10) arranged symmetrically about the central longitudinal plane (8). The ribs are provided in a V-formation inclined downwardly from their apex in the region of the central longitudinal plane (8), and have a cross-section which tapers from the main body (1) to the free end. They are arranged so close to each other that the grooves (14) between the ribs (11) have approximately the same cross-sectional area, admittedly the other way round, as the cross-sectional area of the ribs (11).

  • Process for producing a suspension eye for exhaust system of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 5032342
    Abstract: A suspension eye (1), having two suspension points, for an exhaust system of a motor vehicle has a band (2) of elastomer material and a self-contained liner (3) which is elastically deformable in the plane of the band and has an at least rhombus-like initial shape. The liner (3) consists of extensible, resiliently compliant material. Embedded in the band (2) are two bushes (4, 5) and the liner (3) in the band (2) bears directly against the bushes (4, 5).

  • Mount for engine, gearbox or similar parts of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 4884779
    Abstract: A mount for engine, gearbox or similar parts of a motor vehicle has a bearing body (1) of elastomer material, the bearing body (1) being subjected to tensile stress. In the bearing body (1), a self-contained liner (6) is provided, which is elastically deformable in the plane of the bearing body, is of extensible, resiliently compliant material and has an initially spread, unstretched initial shape. Until reaching a stretched position, the bearing body (1) alone is subjected to tensile stress. On exceeding the stretched position of the liner (6), bearing body (1) and liner (6) are subjected to tensile stress.
