Publication number: 20100127470Abstract: A torsion beam axle includes a torsion beam, a plurality of trailing arms made of a material different from that of the torsion beam, and connecting tubes made of a material better than that of the trailing arms with respect to weldability with the torsion beam, and integrally coupled to the trailing arms at one end part thereof, and welded to the torsion beam at the other end part thereof. Thereby, the coupling force between the trailing arms and the torsion beam made of different materials can be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2006Publication date: May 27, 2010Applicant: AUSTEM CO., LTD.Inventor: Jung-Min Ko

Patent number: 7566100Abstract: Disclosed herein is a seat recliner for vehicles. The seat recliner of the present invention includes a support bracket, which is mounted to a seat frame, a guide holder, which is coupled at a first end thereof to the support bracket, and a slide holder, which is rotatably coupled to the guide holder between the support bracket and the guide holder. The seat recliner further includes at least one rotating bracket, which is coupled to the slide holder, a clutch unit, which controls the engagement between the guide holder and slide holder, and a control unit, which controls the clutch unit. The slide holder has a stop unit, which protrudes towards the support bracket, and the support bracket has a stopper, which contacts the stop unit when the slide holder is rotated at a predetermined angle, thus limiting rotation of the slide holder within a predetermined range.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2006Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Austem Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hyun-Sung Paing, Gun-Young Park

Patent number: 7494186Abstract: Disclosed herein is a folding recliner of a seat for vehicles which is able to execute both seat folding and reclining motions using only a single lever. The folding recliner of the present invention includes a lever unit, which has a lever pin and a lever, so that, when the lever is rotated in a predetermined direction, the lever unit is rotated around a reclining shaft so that the seat back enters an unlocked state. The folding recliner further includes a first link, which has a contact part on a lower end thereof, and a second link, which is rotated around a rotating shaft, coupled to the second link, by movement of the first link. The folding recliner further includes a spring, which is coupled between the second link and a frame unit, and a cam, which is rotated around the rotating shaft and has a locking protrusion.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2006Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: Austem Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hyun-Sung Paing, Jun-Kyu Park

Patent number: 6991294Abstract: A high-rigidity recliner according to the present invention comprises an upper actuating member attached to a seat base, and a lower actuating member attached to a seat back and is characterized by the upper actuating member supporting a pair of symmetrical lock gears fixedly interposed between a cam and a lower actuating member. Outer gear parts of the lock gears engage inner gear parts of the lower actuating member, whereby any clearances between the outer gear parts and inner gear parts are eliminated and any irreular engagement of the outer and inner gear parts is prevented. The lock gears lock or release the lower actuating member by rotation of the actuating cam. The simple structure of the present invention reduces the number of parts, the time for assembly, and the cost of manufacturing. Additionally, forming the outer and inner gears by blanking improves strength and durability of the recliner.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2003Date of Patent: January 31, 2006Assignee: Austem Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hyung Il Choi
