Abstract: A damper unit for use in a vibration-reducing assembly for a steering wheel is disclosed. The damper unit includes a slider configured, upon horn activation, to slide on a guide shaft. A damper element made from an elastomeric material is arranged on a first part of the slider. A molded horn spring element is molded directly on a second part of the slider and is configured to exert a spring force on the slider. The damper unit provides a unitary structure providing both a vibration damping function and a horn spring function in one single assembly unit, reducing the number of components to assemble. A vibration-reducing damper assembly including one or more such damper units is also disclosed, as well as a method of making such a damper unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a holder suitable for fixing an electrical compressor in a vehicle. In embodiments the holder comprises a housing with a receptacle, the housing configured to accommodate the electrical compressor in the receptacle. The housing may have a connector for fixing the electrical compressor on a mounting of a vehicle, and the holder may comprise at least one damper.

Abstract: A damper unit for use in a vibration-reducing assembly for a steering wheel is disclosed. An elastomeric damper element is molded on an inner sleeve and includes a plurality of elastomeric ribs forming a radially outer engagement surface, and a plurality of elastomeric support studs, which are mutually spaced in a circumferential direction are flexible in all directions transverse to said axis. Methods for making a damper unit and a damper assembly are also disclosed.

Abstract: A vibration damper for damping vibrations of a motor vehicle component is disclosed. The vibration damper is passed through by a transverse center plane, and the vibration damper includes a retention apparatus that can be fixed to a motor vehicle component. In embodiments, the vibration damper has at least two receptors that each have an inner side facing the transverse center plane and an outer side facing away from the transverse center plane, has a damper mass with a central longitudinal axis, and has at least two elastomer springs. In embodiments, the elastomer springs couple the damper mass to the receptors with an ability to vibrate, and at least one of the elastomer springs has a connection portion, between the damper mass and respective receptor, that extends at least mainly externally with respect to the respective receptor.

Abstract: An apparatus for lifting and/or moving operations of drilling equipment on a deck, the apparatus includes a load-bearing device, a synchronizing device, a synchronizing linkage comprising at least one guide which receives the synchronizing device, and a suspension device comprising at least one lifting arm. The at least one lifting arm comprises a first torque arm and a second torque arm. The first torque arm comprises a first end connected to the suspension device, and a second end connected to the synchronizing linkage so as to provide a first synchronizing link. The second torque arm comprises a first end connected to the synchronizing linkage so as to provide a second synchronizing link, and a second end connected to the load-bearing device. The first torque arm and the second torque arm are respectively further connected via the first synchronizing link and the second synchronizing link to the synchronizing device.
