Patents by Inventor Andreas Letz

Andreas Letz 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).

  • Patent number: 9156619
    Abstract: A belt conveyor for a road-finishing machine or a charger. The belt conveyor includes a conveyor belt in which a displaceably mounted support element abuts the conveyor belt, and a first and a second piston cylinder unit operate to displace the support element. The first and the second hydraulic piston cylinder units can be pressurised independently of each other in order to move the support element into a desired inclined position. If the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor runs laterally away from the support element, the out-of-true running of the conveyor belt can be counteracted by an inclined position of the support element which moves the conveyor belt back into its original position.

  • Publication number: 20100326067
    Abstract: In a self-propelled machine F for processing paving material, the machine having a liquid cooled combustion engine M and at least one hydraulic circuit H containing hydraulic pumps 6, hydromotors or hydrostatic drive units 7-10 and at least one hydraulic medium reservoir 12, a fan assisted cooling device K including cooling regions 1b, 1c at least for the cooling liquid of the combustion engine M and of the hydraulic medium of the hydraulic circuit H. A hydraulic medium operation temperature setting and regulating device R is provided for the hydraulic medium cooling region 1c constituted by a separate cooler 24 in order to generate an operation temperature T of the hydraulic medium above at least about 60° C. and to maintain this operation temperature depending on the hydraulic load situation in the hydraulic liquid H and on the surrounding climate, independently from a cooling regulating system S for the combustion engine M.
