Patent number: 12359682Abstract: A pneumatic device having a pneumatic cylinder and a piston movably mounted in the pneumatic cylinder to divide an interior of the pneumatic cylinder into two chambers. The chambers are connected to a line network having a valve assembly. The line network, in a plurality of operating states of the valve assembly serving for venting the respective chamber, connects the respective chamber to at least a respective selected one of a plurality of outflow openings, of the pneumatic device, and in a further operating state of the valve assembly, disconnects the respective chamber from the outflow opening. A control installation of the pneumatic device adjusts the operating state of the valve assembly. The line network is designed so that, in at least three of the operating states for venting the respective chamber, the connection between the respective chamber and the outflow opening is established by mutually dissimilar flow resistances.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2024Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: AFAG HOLDING AGInventors: Fabian Bachmann, Michael Schmid, Benedikt Heigenhauser

Patent number: 11338693Abstract: A method is provided for charging a battery-operated vehicle having a chargeable traction energy store and a system for autonomously guiding the vehicle with a charging vehicle having an energy generator and/or an energy store. The method forms at least one electrical coupling between the battery-operated vehicle and the charging vehicle via an autonomous driving manoeuver of the battery-operated vehicle and/or the charging vehicle. A charging of the traction energy store of the battery-operated vehicle occurs via the energy generator and/or the energy store of the charging vehicle during the driving of the paired battery-operated vehicle and charging vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Fabian Bachmann, Robert Bobinger, Elsa Davy, Norbert Deixler, Richard Eiletz, Sebastian Gielisch, Roland Koenig, Alfred Pruckner, Dirk Schlichte, Hubert Scholz, Anette Sedlmaier-Fuchs, Ludwig Seethaler, Stefan Sicklinger, Ralf Stroph, Stefan Stuerzl, Martin Waldmann

Patent number: 10800484Abstract: A control device for a scooter and a scooter for transporting individuals are provided. The scooter is operable using physical strength in a first mode of operation while being operable using physical strength and/or electric power in a second mode of operation. The scooter has an operating device for a control unit, and an electric motor which allows the scooter to be powered. A propulsive force is created on the scooter by actuating the operating device.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Robert Bobinger, Udo Ochner, Ernst Gruenwald, Fabian Bachmann

Patent number: 10414458Abstract: A single-track scooter for transporting people is provided. The scooter includes a front wheel and a rear wheel (arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the scooter, a fork for holding and guiding the front wheel, a rear wheel mount and a frame formed in three parts. The frame includes a fork mount, a middle part and a rear wheel mount. The fork mount can rotate relative to the middle part about a first axis of rotation and the rear wheel mount can rotate relative to the middle part about a second axis of rotation, with the axes of rotation being arranged at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the scooter.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Udo Ochner, Robert Bobinger, Fabian Bachmann, Ernst Gruenwald

Patent number: 9981714Abstract: A frame assembly is provided for a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular for a bicycle, including: a main frame, which has a head tube for connecting to a front wheel mount and a saddle connection for connecting to a saddle; and a drive-train swing arm pivotably connected to the main frame. The drive-train swing arm includes a wheel suspension for a rear wheel to be driven and a pedal-crank drive having a pedal crank for driving the rear wheel by muscle force of a rider. The pedal-crank drive is associated with the drive-train swing arm. The drive-train swing arm is pivotably connected to the main frame by a multijoint assembly.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Robert Bobinger, Fabian Bachmann, Udo Ochner, Robert Loch
