Patent number: 10875680Abstract: The invention relates to a closure cap for a substantially cylindrical vessel, with a lateral surface, a closed end and an open end, and with a tear-open strip having a grip tab for opening the closure cap. In order to produce closure caps which are designed such that they can be applied by machine to substantially cylindrical vessels, it is proposed within the context of the invention that the lateral surface is substantially cylindrical, at least in the area of the open end, and that the closure cap is of stackable design and has means for stacking at least two closure caps with defined spacing. The invention is based on the finding that, for cost reasons, it is useful if also closure caps for substantially cylindrical vessels can be stacked, i.e. pushed onto one another, during transport as they then take up less space.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2015Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Morlo Gesellschaft Mit beschraenkter HaftungInventors: Michael Unger, Wolfgang Unger

Publication number: 20180305114Abstract: The present invention relates to a capsule for a substantially cylindrical vessel with a shell surface, an upper open end, and a lower closed end, wherein the shell surface, at least in the area of the open end, is of substantially cylindrical design. In order to protect substantially cylindrical vessels against breakage in cost-effective manner, it is suggested in the scope of the invention that the shell surface above the closed end comprises at least one means for forming a free space, which is a crimp, directed at least partially inwards on the shell surface. Here, the capsule is configured in such a way, that it can be fitted onto the bottom-side end of the substantially cylindrical vessel. The tolerance limits of the substantially cylindrical vessel are thereby compensated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2016Publication date: October 25, 2018Applicant: MORLO Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter HaftungInventors: Michael UNGER, Wolfgang UNGER, Werner NIKOLAI

Patent number: 9822839Abstract: A hydraulically damping rubber bearing has a substantially hollow-cylindrical inner portion and an outer portion disposed with a predetermined spacing relative to the inner portion. A resilient connection portion is disposed between the inner portion and the outer portion and connects the outer portion to the inner portion. The resilient connection portion has a first hydraulic damping circuit with at least two first fluid chambers which are in fluid communication with each other by means of a first flow connection. The first hydraulic damping circuit has a damping action in a predetermined direction. A second hydraulic damping circuit provides a damping action in the same predetermined direction as the first hydraulic damping circuit.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignees: BOGE ELASTMETALL GMBH, AUDI AGInventors: Volker Ludwig, Stefan Loheide, Thomas Conrad, Wolfgang Unger

Patent number: 7926823Abstract: The invention relates to a method for damping vibrations on chassis bearings of motor vehicles, and a device for implementing the process. A process and a device are to be presented with which outstanding vibration damping and vibration isolation and noise insulation can be achieved over a wide frequency range with consideration of the driving states and roadway conditions which occur in motor vehicles. For this purpose it is proposed that the driving state of the motor vehicle and/or the roadway conditions are detected by way of sensors and that the at least one chassis bearing is modified to different characteristics to change its stiffness and/or damping depending on the detected parameters.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Audi AGInventors: Stephan Lamers, Thomas Conrad, Matthias Muller, Wolfgang Unger, Josef Wenger, Roland Hudler

Patent number: 6584742Abstract: A wall panel includes an outer surface layer, an oriented strand board layer, and mounting channels. The outer surface layer includes an outer surface, an inner surface, and edges. The oriented strand board layer includes an outer surface, an inner surface, and edges, with the outer surface of the oriented strand board layer being attached to the inner surface of the outer surface layer. The mounting channels are defined along and between the edges of the outer surface layer and the oriented strand board layer, and define a region recessed from the edges of the outer surface layer and the oriented strand board layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2000Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignee: Structural Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Lennard J.

Patent number: 5036788Abstract: A boat transom and method of constructing same utilizing the outer skin of the hull and transom while still in the hull mold. A bulkhead is disposed in forwardly spaced relation to the outer skin of the transom and the space therebetween is filled with high tensile strength synthetic resin which may be of the polyester type blended with a suitable hardener. The resin includes entrained microspheres evenly dispersed throughout the transom body and ground fiberglass reinforced plastic scrap. The transom body is cast in a series of merging layers containing fiberglass reinforcing which extends in zig zag fashion from edge to edge of the transom body cavity and additional strands which extend in a skewed pattern. The bulkhead may be removed after the casting operation or may be allowed to remain in place. A further aspect of the invention involves the casting of a fiberglass reinforced synthetic resin transom body in a generally horizontal mold, or an upright mold, separate from the hull mold.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 1989Date of Patent: August 6, 1991Inventor: Wolfgang Unger
