  • Patent number: 6349928
    Abstract: A corrosion-free, weight-reduced, separation-free and rubber-adhesive vibroisolating device for absorbing vibration of radiator. The device includes: a rubber vibroisolating body inserted into and supported by a fixation jig formed on a vehicle body; a support portion integrally formed with the rubber vibroisolating body; and a plastic sheet body integrally injection-molded with the rubber vibroisolating body and provided with an inner protruder to be buried in the support portion and a support curvature for supporting an upper support bracket of the radiator.

  • Patent number: 6345871
    Abstract: An electro-hydraulic braking system of the type capable of operating in a braking-by-wire mode wherein hydraulic pressure is applied to braking devices at the vehicle wheels in proportion to the driver's braking demand as sensed electronically at a brake pedal, in a push-through mode wherein hydraulic pressure is applied to the braking devices at the vehicle wheels by way of a master cylinder coupled mechanically to the brake pedal and in an ABS mode in which the braking pressures at the individual wheels are controlled in dependence, inter alia, on the detected rotational behavior of the vehicle wheels, and which includes a hydraulic travel simulator which is connected hydraulically to the master cylinder by way of an electrically controlled isolation valve for providing improved feel for the driver through the brake pedal in the push-through operating mode.

  • Patent number: 6343799
    Abstract: A work machine having a tilt mechanism for tilting the working body of the machine relative to the base frame is disclosed. An embodiment includes a support tilt frame, a center tilt frame, an upper tilt frame, and a coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism includes a variable-length pitch support member, a pitch pivot link, and a roll support member. When tilting is desired, the pitch support member is actuated to move the pitch pivot link and, by extension or retraction, the roll support member. The roll support member is pivotally connected to the upper tilt frame and movement of the roll support member causes the upper tilt frame to move in a pitch or roll direction due to pitch and roll pivoting joints.

  • Patent number: 6193031
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of bleeding and filling a slip-controlled hydraulic dual-circuit brake system for automotive vehicles which includes pressure modulation valves and at least one pump, a bleeding device and a filling device, and the bleeding device is connected to at least one bleeder valve of a wheel brake and the filling device is arranged on the braking pressure generator. Bleeding of the wheel brakes is executed in two sequences of operation: in a first sequence of operation, the wheel brakes of the front axle and the rear axle are pre-bled by a cyclic actuation of the braking pressure generator, and in the second sequence of operation the main bleeding and filling of the front-wheel and rear-wheel brakes is executed by actuating cycles of the braking pressure generator, the pressure modulation valves and start of operation of the pump.
