  • Patent number: 9419264
    Abstract: The invention relates to an energy storage module for a device for supplying voltage, particularly in a motor vehicle. The energy storage module includes several prismatic storage cells that are arranged behind one another and stacked in at least one row, two end plates, and at least one tension element. The at least one row of stacked storage cells is braced between the two end plates by the tension element, and at least one of the end plates has at least one supporting surface for support on a structure carrying the energy storage module. The energy storage module also includes at least one thermally insulating element arranged on the supporting surface for thermal insulation between the at least one of the end plates and the carrying structure.

  • Publication number: 20140011066
    Abstract: Apparatus for supplying voltage to a motor vehicle, in particular a storage module, includes a cell stack with a plurality of storage cells, which each have a storage cell housing and, a front and a rear plate-like element, which are each connected to one another via a left-hand and a right-hand clamping element. The cell stack is clamped in between the plate-like elements by use of the clamping elements. In addition, outer wall insulation is provided which extends in the manner of a ring or sleeve along storage cell outer walls around the cell stack and electrically insulates the cell stack with respect to the plate-like elements and/or the clamping elements.

  • Publication number: 20090058040
    Abstract: A front-wheel suspension for motorcycles, having a fork-type wheel carrier with a left fork arm and a right fork arm, a lower connection element mutually connecting the two fork arms and an upper connection element mutually connecting the two fork arms. The wheel carrier is swivelably linked to other components of the motorcycle by a lower and an upper longitudinal control link. Forward ends of the longitudinal control links are connected with the wheel carrier by way of an upper and lower swivel bearing respectively whose swivel axes extend essentially transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the motorcycle.
