  • Patent number: 5299669
    Abstract: A vibration eliminator or suppressor for an actuating element of a set of components or aggregate, such as the clutch arrangement of a motor vehicle. A transitional element between a wire cable or a linkage and a lever of the aggregate is constructed as a cage, wherein the lever is floatingly or swimmingly supported within the cage through a prestressed two-component rubber spring, with the lever being fixedly connected with the rubber spring, and a weight being fastened to the cage. Through the intermediary of this structure there is achieved a complete isolation of any vibrations between the clutch shift and the clutch drive train due to the rubber spring.

  • Patent number: 5111711
    Abstract: A coupling device for effectuating the coupling of a gearshift rod or bar member which is connected with the transmission of a motor vehicle to a further gearshift rod or bar member which is connected with the shift lever for the motor vehicle. The two gearshift rods interengage at their adjoining end sections, and each possesses a cross-section which deviates from a circular configuration in order to ensure their interconnection being secured against rotation relative to each other. Between the interengaging end sections of the two gearshift rods, an intermediate element serves for the damping or absorption of sounds which are conducted through solids.
