Patent number: 12072001Abstract: An axle drive for a vehicle includes at least one drivable vehicle axle oriented transversely to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A drive shaft extends parallel with the longitudinal direction and receives drive power from an electric motor at an input section and outputs said drive power at an output section. A driven shaft extends parallel with the drive shaft and receives drive power from the output section of the drive shaft at an input section and outputs said drive power to the vehicle axle via a bevel gear arranged at a first end of the driven shaft. A brake, in particular a parking brake, includes a brake disk arranged at a second end of the driven shaft and between the input section of the drive shaft and the input section of the driven shaft with respect to the longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: Kessler & Co. GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Günter Bittlingmaier

Patent number: 11754159Abstract: An axle center transmission for transmitting a driving torque received from a drive device to two half shafts of an axle comprises a transmission gearing for transmitting a driving torque received at an input element and having at least two selectively switchable gear transmission ratios and a differential for distributing the transmitted driving torque to two output elements. The transmission gearing has a first gear formed as a planetary transmission having a first sun gear, a first planet carrier having planet gears, and a first annulus gear. The transmission gearing furthermore has a second gear formed as a planetary transmission having a second sun gear, a second planet carrier having planet gears, and a second annulus gear. The first sun gear forms said input element; the first planet carrier is stationary; and the second sun gear is couplable or coupled to the first annulus gear for a common rotation.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: KESSLER & CO. GMBH & CO. KGInventor: Thomas Bauer

Patent number: 11524574Abstract: An axle drive for a vehicle comprising at least one drivable vehicle axle oriented transversely to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, said axle drive comprising an electric motor; a drive shaft that extends in parallel with the longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end and that is configured to receive drive power from the electric motor at an input section and to output said drive power at least partly to the vehicle axle via a bevel gear arranged at the first end; and a brake, in particular a parking brake, comprising a brake disk that is arranged at a brake section of the drive shaft, wherein the electric motor is arranged coaxially to the drive shaft and the input section of the drive shaft is arranged between the brake disk and the first end with respect to the longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: KESSLER & CO. GMBH & CO. KGInventor: Simon Grimminger

Patent number: 11428302Abstract: An axle drive for a vehicle comprising at least one drivable vehicle axle comprises a drive shaft that extends along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, starting from a first side of the axle drive, to a second side of the axle drive and that is configured to receive drive power from an electric motor arranged at the first side and to output said drive power at the second side to a driven shaft that extends at the second side of the axle drive offset from the drive shaft and that is configured to output drive power to the vehicle axle via a bevel gear facing towards the first side. The axle drive further comprises a brake, in particular a parking brake, comprising a brake disk that is arranged at the second side of the axle drive, in a manner facing away from the first side, at the drive shaft or at the driven shaft.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: KESSLER & CO. GMBH & CO. KGInventor: Günter Bittlingmaier

Patent number: 9873288Abstract: A hub arrangement for twin wheels comprises a stationary carrier; an intermediate hub which is rotatable about an axis of rotation and which can be driven by a drive shaft; a differential gear having an input which is connected to the intermediate hub; a first wheel hub which is connected to a first output of the differential gear; and a second wheel hub which is connected to a second output of the differential gear. The hub arrangement furthermore comprises a first braking apparatus which is effective between the stationary carrier and the intermediate hub and a second braking apparatus which is effective between the stationary carrier and the second wheel hub or between the intermediate hub and the second wheel hub. In this respect, the first braking apparatus and the second braking apparatus can be actuated separately from one another.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2016Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: Kessler & Co. GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Simon Grimminger

Patent number: 9579974Abstract: The wheel side of a drive axle with wheel member steering having a drop center rim, preferably made of steel, is provided on the wheel hub and is combined with a disc brake, which is axially inwardly offset relative to the wheel plane and which preferably has compressed an actuation. The necessary space for the disc brake arrangement is guaranteed by the sufficiently low diameter of the wheel hub in the region of the brake disc and by a comparatively large axial space for the brake system, which is created by an axially narrow design of the wheel hub transmission and a by a new design of the steering knuckle bearing and of the pertaining axle guard.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Kessler & Co. GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Gunter Bittlingmaier

Patent number: 9499015Abstract: A rotary feedthrough for a motor vehicle wheel having tire pressure regulation comprises a wheel carrier and a wheel hub rotatably supported on the wheel carrier. A compressed air annular space and at least one annular lubricant space, which are sealed with respect to one another, are configured in an intermediate space between the wheel carrier and the wheel hub. In this respect, the compressed air annular space communicates with a compressed air passage of the wheel carrier and with a compressed air passage of the wheel hub, wherein the compressed air passage of the wheel hub communicates with a controllable valve in order selectively to fill a tire of the motor vehicle wheel with compressed air or to deflate the tire.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2015Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Kessler & Co. GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Gunter Bittlingmaier
