Abstract: Hydraulic damper bearing for the attenuation of movement. In one embodiment the hydraulic damper bearing has a first anchoring unit and a second anchoring unit, the second anchoring unit moveable in relation to the first anchoring unit. The hydraulic damper bearing also has a spring component working between the first and the second anchoring units, an operating chamber filled with damping fluid and an equalizing chamber separate from the operating chamber and in fluid communication with the operating chamber via a damping duct which is bordered by a duct wall. The volume of the operating chamber is changed during the relative motion of the first and second anchoring support units. During this relative movement, the damping fluid is moved in the damping duct between the equalizing chamber and the operating chamber. A displacing element is arranged on the first anchoring unit and extends into the operating chamber.

Abstract: A safety valve, such as for a refueling vent line between the tank filler neck and the active charcoal container in a motor vehicle. The safety valve is inserted into the refueling vent line being configured as a float valve. When fuel penetrates into the refueling vent line, and thereby into the safety valve, the outlet of the safety valve is closed by the float. The safety valve is provided with an anti-pollution pipe-end opening onto the environment and closed at normal pressure by a closure operated by a diaphragm. At an elevated pressure in the safety valve, the diaphragm effects an opening of the closure at the anti-pollution pipe-end.
