  • Patent number: 5072655
    Abstract: A piston for an axial piston machine, comprising a hollow body having an axial cavity into which a filler piece of a material of lower specific gravity than the material of the piston is inserted which at least partially fills said cavity, said filler piece being secured axially in the cavity by a shoulder projecting radially inwards from the hollow body, is to be designed so that with simple construction a stable axial securing of the filler piece is ensured. This is achieved in that the filler piece has a recess arranged between its ends on its outer surface into which the section of the hollow body overlapping the recess is pressed in a form fitting and force locking manner.

  • Patent number: 4767943
    Abstract: In a switch arrangement for switching electrical functions with at least two switches (A;B) having electrical contact elements (8;9;10;11), at least one of the switches (A;B) is made as a foil switch having a flexible base foil (4;7) carrying one contact element (9;11) and a switch element (2;5), particularly a switch foil, elastically deflectable in the direction toward the base foil and carrying the opposite contact element (8;10). The other switch (B) is so arranged behind the foil switch (A) in the keying direction that it is operable by an operating pressure on the foil switch (A) which exceeds the required operating pressure for the foil switch (A).
