  • Patent number: 8672109
    Abstract: A narrow double clutch transmission to be mounted in a drive train with a drive unit comprises a clutch part and a transmission part with two sub-transmission units. The clutch part has one input hub connected with the drive unit and two output hubs, which are connected with two input shafts of two sub-transmission unit respectively. The two sub-transmission unit input shafts are arranged coaxially to each other. At the output side the input hub is connected with a damping mechanism, which is connected with two clutches. The two clutches and the damping mechanism are arranged in a clutch chamber filled with oil, which is sealed floatingly to a clutch cover. The output hub connected with the sub-transmission input shaft is axially supported by the sub-transmission unit input shaft.

  • Publication number: 20110005882
    Abstract: In order to be able to build a double clutch transmission more narrow, the invention proposes a double clutch transmission to be mounted in a drive train with a drive unit, wherein the double clutch transmission comprises a clutch part and a transmission part with two sub-transmission units, wherein the clutch part has one input hub for an operative connection with the drive unit and two output hubs, which are, respectively, operatively connected with the input shaft of a sub-transmission unit, wherein the two sub-transmission unit input shafts are arranged coaxially to each other, wherein on the output side the input hub is operatively connected with a damping mechanism, which—on its side—is operatively connected on the output side with two clutches, and the output hubs are operatively connected, respectively, at the drive end with one of the clutches and wherein both the clutches and also the damping mechanism are arranged in a clutch chamber filled with oil, which is sealed floatingly to a clutch cover, by

  • Publication number: 20030097738
    Abstract: Known adjustable press-stud fastenings (10) consist of at least two complementary press-stud parts, namely a male and female part (11, 12), which can be snapped together for producing a connection. At least one press-stud part (11) is attached to a support layer (19) using a connecting piece (21). The other press-stud part (12) can likewise be connected to a support layer (20) using a connecting piece (21), or can be connected directly thereto (20). The adjustable press-stud fastening (10) allows the support layers (19, 20) to be superimposed, by the connection of the male part (11) to the female part (12). Said superimposition can be modified by the adjustable press-stud fastening (10). The connecting piece (21) must be capable of adapting to its support layer (19) in order for the press-stud fastening (10) to be additionally used for articles of clothing, such as jackets, trousers etc. In addition, the invention aims to provide a simple and secure adjustment of the press-stud fastening (10).
