Patents by Inventor Armin Koch

Armin Koch 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: 9948154
    Abstract: An electronically commutated DC motor has a stator wound with a multi-phase stator winding, a permanent magnet rotor mounted rotatably about a motor axis, a circuit board, a guide plate electrically connected to the winding and a housing component. In one implementation, a DC motor can easily be manufactured with the fewest possible process steps, which exhibits a short axial length and a low weight as well as good heat-dissipation properties. It is also an object of the invention to create a DC motor with integrated electronics, whose motor interior can be filled with oil, and which holds the electronics sealed against this oil. For reasons of logistics, an attempt is also made for partial components, such as the electronics, to be designed such that they are capable of complete prior assembly and testing.

  • Patent number: 5473876
    Abstract: A drive system has a fixed support, a textile spindle having a whorl and rotatable adjacent the support about a spindle axis, a continuously advancing drive belt tangentially engaging the whorl, and an elongated leaf spring extending generally parallel to the belt and having a portion fixed to the support and an outer end carrying a roller bearing toward the whorl on the belt. The spring is tensioned to press the roller against the belt and the belt against the whorl. A dimensionally stable plate extends generally parallel to the leaf spring, spaced along at least most of its length from the leaf spring. A layer of energy-absorbing material is provided between and bonded to the plate and spring along all of a region extending from the support to the roller so that as the spring and plate bend the layer is subjected to shear.
