Publication number: 20240039364Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a covering, such as a casing, for a component of an electrical drive system. Components of this kind are, for example, the electric motor or the inverter of an electric motor. Both the inverter and the electric motor itself generate noise at high frequencies, for instance between 6 kHz and 12 kHz, due to the switch elements used in them. These noises should not escape to the exterior because they are disruptive in terms of both frequency and volume. The present disclosure shows a cover for absorbing these noises, that is cost-effective and can be arranged close to the electric motor and its components.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Franz SCHWEIGGART, Brian HEATH, Luca BUMB, Lukas HAHN, Andreas MAIER, Claudio PEDICILLO, Andreas KAST

Publication number: 20150260075Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat shield for shielding of hot areas of a part. Such heat shields are for instance used for shielding hot areas of combustion engines, especially of catalysts, exhaust manifolds, turbo chargers and the like or also in the conditioning of batteries. Conventionally, they comprise at least one metallic sheet layer. In addition to this metal sheet layer, which renders stability to the heat shield, typically an insulating layer made of insulating material, e.g. porous material is provided as a further layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2013Publication date: September 17, 2015Inventor: Franz Schweiggart

Patent number: 8316516Abstract: The present invention relates to a mounting device having a metallic base plate, from which multiple projections project, and a method for manufacturing this mounting device. The mounting device may be obtained by cutting multiple hook preforms into the surface of the base plate while leaving at least one bending edge per hook preform. Furthermore, hook-like projections are manufactured by bending the hook preforms out of the base plate around the bending edge and possibly lateral protrusions are manufactured on the projections or these are twisted.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2005Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Reinz-Dichtungs-GmbHInventors: Kurt Hoehe, Bernd Ruess, Georg Egloff, Franz Schweiggart
