  • Patent number: 11827163
    Abstract: A cover (1) for a pressure-limiting valve arrangement of a vehicle, wherein the cover (1) has at least one side wall (2a, 2b, 2c), preferably at least two side walls, and has a wall region (3) serving as a lid region of the cover (1), wherein the cover (1) is transferable from a state of manufacture into a state of use, wherein, in the state of manufacture, the at least one side wall (2a, 2b, 2c) and the wall region (3) serving as a lid region are situated at least substantially and/or at least regionally in a common plane, and wherein, in the state of use, the at least one side wall (2a, 2b, 2c) and the wall region (3) serving as a lid region are situated in mutually different planes.

  • Patent number: 10654139
    Abstract: A displaceable carriage (10) and a linear guide for guiding the carriage, which includes a first guide path slideway (13, 31) and a second guide path slideway (32). To form the first slideway (13, 31), the carriage (10) includes at least one pocket (13), which slides along the first guide path part (31) and can hold lubricant under pressure to create a relieving force on the carriage (10). The second guide path part (32) includes an island-shaped surface to create a frictional force on the carriage (10). A pressure medium held in the at least one pocket (13, 14, 15) creates the relieving force, whereby the first slideway (13, 31) relieves the load on the second slideway (11a, 12a, 12b, 32).

  • Patent number: 10144270
    Abstract: A venting device for a vehicle has a frame which is made from a hard plastic material and can be fixed in place in an opening of the vehicle. The frame has recesses and a non-return flap member made from a flexible material. The non-return flap member extends substantially over the entire frame and, in the region of the recesses, has cutouts which are configured in one piece with the non-return flap member. In a closed position, the cutouts are in surface contact with support surfaces surrounding the recesses and, in an open position, can be moved away from the support surfaces.

  • Patent number: 9568298
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a machine tool, such as a grinding machine, and to a method for measuring a workpiece in a machine tool. The machine tool may comprise a workpiece mount (14), a tool unit (28), a measuring device (48) and a control device (56) that is connectable to the measuring device (48) and the tool unit (28), wherein the measuring device (48) is received at the tool unit (28) and comprises at least one toggle measurement head (66; 68), wherein the at least one toggle measurement head (66; 68) is received at a support piece (80) that provides a plurality of defined predetermined locations for the at least one toggle measurement head (66; 68), and wherein the control device (56) is arranged to detect signals that are triggered by the at least one toggle measurement head (66; 68) when touching a workpiece (96), and to determine on the basis of an actual location of the tool unit (28) an actual position of the at least one toggle measurement head (66; 68).
