  • Patent number: 6283498
    Abstract: A gas bag module includes a housing for accommodating a folded gas bag, a cover connected to said housing by at least one tether and a fastener element on said housing for connection of said tether to said housing. To counteract extreme loading of the cover and other vehicle parts on deployment of the gas bag, said fastener element is plastically deformable when loaded by tensile forces in said tether as generated by inertial forces of said cover occurring on deployment of said gas bag.

  • Patent number: 6283172
    Abstract: A device for repairing a tire fault by injecting repair liquid into the faulty tire, said liquid being present in a compressible liquid storage volume (100). Said volume (100) is sealed in such a way that it is watertight at at least one first sealing point (60) to be opened and is located in a pressurized container (56). Said pressurized container is subjected to the pressure of a pressurized gas from a pressurized gas source (28) in a compression chamber which becomes larger as it is affected by the pressurized gas. When the first sealing point (60) is opened, the volume (100) delivers repair liquid to the tire (12) through the opened first sealing point (60) be extracted from the volume.

  • Patent number: 6282922
    Abstract: The method of the invention provides that a predetermined quantity of molten glass necessary for producing molded glass bodies according to the press-molding method is poured into a press mold prior to the insertion of the molding plug while the press mold is located in the press station, and that the molded glass body is removed after the molding plug is withdrawn from the press mold, with this mold likewise being located in the pressing station. This method renders a mold transport superfluous. The invention also relates to an apparatus suitable for executing the method, in which the molding plug can be pivoted laterally from its initial position located outside of the press mold about an axis extending transversely to the center axis of the molding plug.

  • Patent number: 6283863
    Abstract: A drive unit includes a housing defining a rotational axis, a drive shaft supported by the housing for rotation about the rotational axis, an actuator supported by the housing for rotation about the rotational axis responsive to rotation of the drive shaft, and a coupling mechanism for coupling rotation of the drive shaft and the actuator. The coupling mechanism includes a first frictional surface rotatable with the drive shaft and a second frictional surface rotatable with the actuator. The first and second frictional surfaces are mating conical frustrum surfaces, the first frictional surface driving the second frictional surface via friction upon rotation of the drive shaft. Means are included for urging the first and second frictional surfaces together. The urging means may include a compression spring. The coupling mechanism may include a friction ring non-rotatably mounted to the drive shaft, the first frictional surface being disposed on the friction ring.
