  • Publication number: 20250092816
    Abstract: An automotive electric liquid pump module for pumping a coolant liquid in a coolant circuit of an automobile. The automotive electric liquid pump module includes a first electrical flow pump unit having a flow pump wheel which is directly driven by an electric motor, and a passive deaerator unit having a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet, a deaerator housing which defines a first widened deceleration chamber, and a deaeration opening which is arranged at a vertical top of the first widened deceleration chamber. The deaerator housing is mechanically directly and stiffly connected to the electrical flow pump unit.

  • Publication number: 20240337211
    Abstract: A passive automotive coolant liquid deaerator unit for deaerating a circulating coolant liquid of a coolant circuit of an automobile. The passive automotive coolant liquid deaerator unit includes a deaerator housing which defines a first deceleration chamber. The first deceleration chamber has a chamber liquid inlet, a chamber liquid outlet, and a deaeration opening which is arranged at a vertical top of the first deceleration chamber. A fluidic cross section of the first deceleration chamber is arranged to continuously increase between the chamber liquid inlet and the chamber liquid outlet.

  • Publication number: 20240335767
    Abstract: A passive automotive coolant liquid deaerator unit for deaerating a circulating coolant liquid of a coolant circuit of an automobile. The passive automotive coolant liquid deaerator unit includes a deaerator housing which defines a deceleration chamber, and a baffle plate which is arranged substantially horizontally within the deceleration chamber. The deceleration chamber has a chamber liquid inlet, a chamber liquid outlet, and a deaeration opening which is arranged at a vertical top of the first deceleration chamber. The chamber liquid inlet is arranged vertically higher than the chamber liquid outlet. The baffle plate is arranged vertically between the chamber liquid inlet and the chamber liquid outlet.

  • Patent number: 7364237
    Abstract: A seatback assembly including a frame exhibiting a side-disposed and arcuate edge. An arm is pivotally secured to the frame. A pawl is in turn pivotally secured to the arm and is biased in engaging fashion relative to the arcuate extending edge via alternating and mating teeth and recess configurations established between the pawl and along at least one of first and second spaced apart locations defined along the arcuate edge. A cam is mounted to a further location of the seatback arm and biases the pawl against the frame. The cam is actuated to cause the pawl to disengage from the first configured sector location, the seatback arm pivoting towards the seat frame, whereupon the pawl matingly engages the second location along the arcuate seat sector edge to lock the seatback in a forwardly rotated and stowed position relative to the seat frame.
