Andreas Guender has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20200124035
    Abstract: A hydraulic unit having a housing includes a tank and a pump arranged adjacent to one another in a fluid supply region, and a controller region is arranged thereabove. Since the pump is embodied in an upright design, a compact hydraulic unit with a small footprint is implemented.

  • Publication number: 20200124059
    Abstract: A hydraulic unit includes a tank configured to be filled with a hydraulic fluid. The tank has at least one inflow connection and at least one outflow connection. A flow guide for the hydraulic fluid is formed between the inflow connection and the outflow connection. The flow guide is configured to have at least two 180° flow arcs configured to cool and calm the hydraulic fluid and to avoid dead zones.

  • Publication number: 20200124196
    Abstract: A hydraulic distributor block for fluid guidance, having at least two port surfaces which each have at least one port opening. The port openings of the port surfaces are connected by a flow duct, with the flow duct having at least one bend which is continuously curved and the port surfaces being spatially separated from one another.

  • Patent number: 10513308
    Abstract: A hydraulic brake control apparatus for attaching to an open ended handlebar of a vehicle, the handlebar having a longitudinal axis. The hydraulic brake control apparatus includes a brake housing that is attachable to the handlebar, the brake housing including a first section residing outside the handlebar, and a second section sized and shaped to be received inside the handlebar.

  • Publication number: 20190353289
    Abstract: A hydraulic system has a fluid path which connects two system components fluidically to one another and which comprises a hydraulic hose. It is known to form a fluid path between two components of a hydraulic system, for example between a pump and a control block, by a single hydraulic hose which is designed in accordance with the maximum volume flow and the maximum pressure. A hydraulic hose for large volume flows and high pressures is disproportionately expensive relative to a hydraulic hose for smaller volume flows and, on account of its larger internal and external diameters, has a larger minimum bending radius than a hydraulic hose for smaller volume flows. In order to provide a cost-effective and compact structure, a hydraulic system according to the disclosure has the fluid path formed by at least two hydraulic hoses arranged fluidically parallel to one another.

  • Patent number: 9630677
    Abstract: A hydraulic brake control apparatus for attaching to an open ended handlebar of a vehicle, the handlebar having a longitudinal axis. A brake housing is attachable to the handlebar, the brake housing including a first section residing outside the handlebar and abutting the open end of the handlebar, and a second section sized and shaped to be received inside the handlebar. A master cylinder is disposed within the first section, the master cylinder having a bore with a bore axis that is oriented transverse to said axis of the handlebar and a master cylinder actuator is in operative association with the master cylinder. A micro-adjust mechanism, a macro-adjust mechanism, and a clamp mechanism is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8869949
    Abstract: A rim brake with a synchronous link mechanism for synchronizing the movement of a pair of brake arms. The rim brake may be a hydraulic rim brake. The hydraulic rim brake may include a slave cylinder formed in one of the pair of brake arms including a piston, wherein the piston contacts the other of the pair of brake arms to impart movement thereto.
