Patent number: 8123193Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic valve having a magnetic assembly and a capsule. An armature is disposed in the capsule and a valve insert is inserted in the capsule. A tappet is guided in a displaceable manner within the inner bore of the valve insert and sealingly immerges in a sealing seat. The valve insert is arranged at a distance from the armature via an adjustable air gap. According to the invention, the sealing seat is arranged in a sleeve which itself is disposed inside the capsule. The sleeve has at least one opening through which adjusting elements act upon the valve seat in order to regulate the magnetic flux generated by the magnetic assembly. The air gap between the valve insert and the armature is variable, whereby the adjusting elements either move the valve insert in axial direction towards the armature in order to increase the magnetic flux or move the valve insert away from the armature in order to reduce the magnetic flux.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2006Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Dietmar Kratzer

Patent number: 8123308Abstract: The invention relates to a device for suspending a unit, especially a hydraulic unit of an electronically traction-controlled brake system of a motor vehicle. The unit is suspended in a receptacle provided on the vehicle such that vibrations are damped. Hydraulic units of vehicle brake systems are usually equipped with an electric motor for driving pumps located in the hydraulic unit. The brake pressure in the wheel brakes can be modulated via the pumps. The pump drive can cause mechanical and hydraulic vibrations in the unit which can result in unwanted operational noise in case the vibrations are transmitted to the vehicle body without being damped. The improved device is manually preloaded due to limited space for using tools. A clamping mechanism is guided in an axially movable manner on an armature which is fixed to the hydraulic unit and which can be moved from a basic position into a clamping position. The clamping mechanism is interlocked with the armature in both positions.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2006Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Schlitzkus, Andreas Weh, Matthias Mayr

Patent number: 8120326Abstract: A rechargeable battery having a switch connects an internal load to the battery so that the battery can be shifted to a predetermined, lower load state. To shift the rechargeable battery into a lower load state for long-term storage, a Zener diode is connected in series with a resistor and the switch. The rechargeable battery voltage, which corresponds to the predetermined, lower load state, is selected as the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode. Manual actuation of the switch shifts the rechargeable battery to a lower load state, if the current load state is higher than the predetermined, lower load state. A digital version has a digital circuit connected electrically to the switch which is arranged for measuring the rechargeable battery voltage and which in the ON state triggers the switch if the measured rechargeable voltage exceeds a value that corresponds to the predetermined, lower load state.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2008Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Thomas Heinrich, Cornelius Liebenow
