  • Patent number: 8322323
    Abstract: The fluid system is intended for an oscillating-piston engine (100) which has at least two double-armed oscillating pistons (4) arranged in a spherical housing (19) and revolving together about an axis (23) of revolution arranged in the housing center, wherein the oscillating pistons, when revolving, mutually perform reciprocating oscillating movements about an oscillation axis (24) perpendicular to the axis (23) of revolution, and guide members (5) attached to at least two pistons (4) engage in at least one guide groove (17) formed in the housing (19) and serving to control the oscillating movements. The fluid system (70) comprises at least one central feed opening (1), lying in the vicinity of an end of the axis (23) of revolution, for a fluid, continuous cavities and/or bores (10) in the pistons (4) for the fluid, and a fluid discharge on the outer side (3) of the respective piston.

  • Patent number: 8286608
    Abstract: A sealing system for oscillating-piston engines that include two oscillating pistons that revolve together in a spherical housing. The pistons perform reciprocating oscillating movements in opposite directions about an oscillation axis perpendicular to the axis of revolution for the pistons. Guide members are provided on the pistons and engage at least one guide groove formed in the housing. Sealing elements are disposed on or in the vicinity of all moving edges surrounding working chambers and prechambers for the engine. The sealing elements seal all the gap regions present between machine parts displaced relative to one another by revolving and/or oscillating movements and not in direct contact. Sealing elements prevent excessive penetration of lubricating fluid into inlet and outlet openings in the housing.

  • Publication number: 20100133054
    Abstract: The invention relates to a disk brake (1) which comprises a brake disk ring (2) which is made of brittle material. Said brake comprises, in said ring, receiving holes (18) for lowering rivets (3) and a particular shaping about said holes (19). Said brake also comprises an inner rim (4) which is made of high-grade steel or other similar material, which is riveted to the brake disk ring (2), and which is elastic and comprises star-shaped flat spokes (20), and an intermediate ring (6) which is made of a light metal or similar material which is riveted or screwed to said rim. Said ring can be machined, for the purpose of lag-freedom, parallel to the disk ring surface (13) and adapted to the connection by screwing or riveting (7).

  • Patent number: 7469673
    Abstract: A rotary-piston engine includes at least two rotary pistons, which are located in an essentially spherical housing and which rotate in common about a rotational axis running through the center of the housing, each of the rotary pistons comprising two pistons that are interconnected in a fixed manner, lie diametrically opposite the center of the housing and execute pivoting displacements back and forth in opposite directions about a pivoting axis running perpendicular to the rotational axis, during their rotation. To control the pivoting displacements, the engine is provided with loose spherical or ellipsoidal rotational bodies, which are rotatably mounted in the sliding surfaces of the pistons in respective guide sockets that are hemispherical or ellipsoidal and which engage in at least one guide groove that is configured in the housing. The groove has an essentially hemispherical or ellipsoidal profile.

  • Patent number: 7357416
    Abstract: The device for stabilizing a single-track vehicle comprises a supporting device (4) and an adjusting device (14) which is intended for selective lowering and raising of support elements and which can be actuated by way of a control device (10). The control device (10) can be influenced as a function of a combination of control signals from a speedometer which senses the speed of the vehicle and of a transverse acceleration meter. The adjusting device (14) comprises at least one supporting and actuating element (15) which can be influenced in combination by way of the control device (10) and/or by signals from the driver and is intended for extending and retracting the supporting device (4), as well as means for selective locking, unlocking, tensioning and extending of the supporting and actuating element (15). This device makes possible automatic lowering or raising of the supporting device (14) without additional operating requirements.
