Patent number: 8317225Abstract: A semi-trailer landing gear, in particular to support trailers, with a support element which includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve and which can be displaced in a telescopic manner in relation to the height. The outer sleeve includes a securing flange which can be applied to a vehicle. The aim of the invention is to develop a semi-trailer landing gear which is economical to produce and can also withstand high loads. The aim is achieved by virtue of the fact that the outer sleeve and the securing flange are made of a single piece of flat steel by edge rolling.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2006Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Jost-Werke GmbHInventors: Gerald Müller, Günter Seidel, José Algüera

Patent number: 7451684Abstract: An actuator or servo device comprises an actuator member adapted to move linearly in the motion space of an actuator housing, a microwave position detecting device for detecting the position of the actuator member in the motion space, the actuator member being capable of producing a pressure wave acting on the position detecting device on approaching the position detecting device and a high frequency microwave antenna arrangement for emitting and receiving microwaves, which are at least partially reflected by the actuator member. The actuator device includes dielectric guard cover means, arranged in front of the microwave antenna arrangement. For mechanically uncoupling the guard cover means from the microwave antenna arrangement between the guard cover means and the microwave antenna arrangement a clearance is maintained to allow deformation of the guard cover means thereinto owing to pressure waves.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2006Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Festo AG & Co.

Patent number: 7428949Abstract: The invention describes an arrangement of lubricating grease inside the housing of a gear unit with rotatable components, particularly the gear unit of a jack. It also describes a grease pouch for receiving lubricating grease and a method for lubricating the gear unit with lubricating grease. Since the gear units are often not transported in their installed position, oil that has separated from the lubricating grease may leak from any gearbox openings. Thus, one of the objects of the invention was to provide an arrangement of lubricating grease in the housing of a gear unit, which on the one hand provides lubrication of the gear unit so that it is ready for operation in its delivery condition and on the other hand effectively prevents the oil separated from the lubricating grease from leaking prior to initial startup. This object is attained by enclosing the lubricating grease within at least one grease pouch prior to initial startup of the gear unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2003Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Jost-Werke GmbHInventors: Jose Algüera, Gerald Müller

Publication number: 20080224113Abstract: A support jack, in particular for supporting semitrailers, includes a vertically telescopically displaceable supporting element having an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, each sleeve having a rectangular cross-section with four sidewalls in each case. At least one sidewall at least of the inner sleeve has an additional wall plate. Another alternative proposes that at least one sidewall at least of the inner sleeve consists of a wall plate which the two adjacent sidewalls are fixed. An arrangement of such a support jack on the lower side of a vehicle is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2006Publication date: September 18, 2008Inventors: Gerald Muller, Gunter Siedel, Jose Alguera
