Patent number: 11548343Abstract: An adapter piece may be employed to connect a damper tube and an air spring piston in a non-positive manner. The adapter piece may comprise a spring region. The adapter piece may also include a first ring region and a second ring region, and the spring region may be positioned between the first ring region and the second ring region. Further, an air spring damper system may utilize the spring region of such an adapter piece to connect a damper tube and an air spring piston in a non-positive connection. The damper tube may include a bulge with a supporting element positioned on the bulge. The adapter piece may lie on the supporting element.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignees: THYSSENKRUPP BILSTEIN GMBH, THYSSENKRUPP AGInventors: Lars Fischbach, Manuel Gross

Patent number: 10655700Abstract: A force limiting device has a housing defining an axially extending chamber containing a working fluid. A force transmitting member may be mounted for linear reciprocable movement inside the chamber under the action of external loads. An axial array of plates is floatingly disposed in the chamber between the force transmitting member and an end wall of the chamber. At rest, each plate is spaced from an adjacent plate by a gap occupied by the working fluid. When the force transmitting member is displaced towards the array of plates, the fluid in the chamber causes the plates to be successively pushed against each other, thereby causing some of the fluid to be squeezed out from between the plates.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: GAUDET MACHINE WORKS INC.Inventor: Martin Gaudet

Patent number: 10626916Abstract: A wing foil bearing may include one or more wing or tab foil layers. A tab foil layer may comprise a thin material with a two-dimensional array of tab shapes. A tab shape may be defined by a boundary of material separated from the thin material and having an integral edge and a free edge. Tab shapes may include one or more free-state bends relative to the thin material, forming a two-dimensional array of cantilever wings or tabs. Tab arrays may be one or more of various types or two-dimensional arrays, and a tab foil layer may include additional tab arrays and tabs. One or more tab foil layers may be engaged with a mounting surface layer and a counter-surface layer to form a wing foil bearing. Tab foil layers may be stacked and or nested, including partial nesting and complete nesting.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2019Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: XDOT ENGINEERING AND ANALYSIS, PLLCInventors: Erik Swanson, Patrick O'Meara

Patent number: 4589297Abstract: An adjusting transmission of a motor vehicle for a motorized seat adjustment with a transmission housing and a worm arranged on a bearing shaft which is supported at the transmission housing in two shaft bearing parts retaining the shaft and inserted into a respective housing aperture on both sides of the worm; at least one of the two shaft bearing parts is thereby tiltably supported within the coordinated housing aperture in at least a plane containing the bearing shaft axis. A self-alignment of the two bearing parts is achieved thereby so that one obtains without large expenditures a transmission operation which is low in friction and freely movable. The bearing part can be constructed as ring with spherical surface which abuts at prism surfaces of the housing aperture as well as of a pressure member.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1984Date of Patent: May 20, 1986Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.
