  • Publication number: 20240264615
    Abstract: Control zone devices that integrate a valve, filter, and pressure regulator within a single device are provided. Specifically, the control zone devices include a main body having a base portion with an inlet passage and an outlet passage attachable to a conduit and a body portion extending from the base portion having an interior for receiving a filter. The control zone devices further include a valve body including a solenoid bowl for attaching a solenoid and an interface cap for removably coupling the valve body to the main body of the control zone device and forming an interface between the valve body and the main body to operate the valve. The control zone devices also include a pressure regulator. In some configurations, the pressure regulator is positioned in a vent flow path of the valve body downstream of the solenoid for regulating pressure at the valve.

  • Publication number: 20080036166
    Abstract: A stabilizer bar includes a sleeve and bushing that are used to mount the stabilizer bar to a vehicle structure. The sleeve is comprised of a plastic material and includes a locking mechanism for locking the sleeve to the stabilizer bar. The bushing is comprised of a resilient material and is mounted to an external surface of the sleeve. Once the sleeve is locked onto the stabilizer bar, lateral movement between the bushing and the stabilizer bar is prohibited. Further, frictional reaction of the bushing occurs between plastic and rubber materials, which results in reduced noise during suspension loading.
