Patent number: 12024022Abstract: A hybrid powertrain for a vehicle includes an internal combustion engine having a crank shaft rotatable about a geometric axis, an electric machine and a transmission having an input shaft rotatable about the geometric axis, and a clutch by which clutch the internal combustion engine and the transmission are selectively connectable to each other. A rotor of the electric machine is arranged on the crank shaft for rotating together with the crank shaft about the geometric axis, and the clutch is a dog clutch arranged for connecting and disconnecting the crank shaft of the internal combustion engine and the input shaft of the transmission to and from each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Ningbo Geely Automobile Research & Development Co., Ltd.Inventors: Johannes Larsson, Shabbir Adil, Hans Enström

Patent number: 7631739Abstract: A dual clutch for a transmission with a first transmission input shaft and a second transmission input shaft that is positioned in coaxial relation to the first transmission input shaft. The dual clutch comprises a clutch portion comprising a hollow cylinder portion for transmitting torque, wherein the hollow cylinder portion is provided in a radial position between a clutch axle and a clutch hub, is rotatable in relation to the clutch axle and the clutch hub, and comprises at least one opening allowing oil to be fed from the clutch axle to the clutch hub. This design allows supply of hydraulic oil, sufficient cooling oil, and at the same time flexibility in attaching auxiliary engines such as an electromotor to the dual clutch.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2006Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Assignee: Getrag Ford Transmissions GmbHInventor: Hans Enström

Patent number: 5421347Abstract: A device for obtaining blood comprising a rod (1) with a lancet (5), a sleeve (2), a stop (9, 15) which temporarily prevents insertion of the rod into the sleeve in a starting position in which the lancet is located in the sleeve, and two spring tongues (16, 17) which abut against the rod so that the lancet is centred and retracted into the sleeve with the aid of the spring force in the tongues. According to the invention the tongues are defined by axial slits (23) in the wall of the sleeve, whereby the tongues extend obliquely into the sleeve with their ends (19) located inside the front end (14) or an orifice ring of the sleeve. The distance between the ends of the tongues when the rod assumes said starting position, is less than the thickness of the rod at the lancet end, and the tongues are arranged to cooperate with the lancet end upon movement of the lancet.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1993Date of Patent: June 6, 1995Inventor: Hans Enstrom

Patent number: 4738261Abstract: A plunger, having an oblong body with a front end and a rear end and a lancet having a pointed end section projecting axially from said body at the front end, is insertable in a cylinder having an oblong hollow body with a front end, a rear end and an axial hole. The cylinder is at least elastically distendible in the radial direction adjacent its rear end. The plunger is of such a length and the lancet is so arranged that the pointed end section of the lancet protrudes a predetermined distance out of the cylinder at the front end when the plunger is fully inserted in the cylinder thereby defining an operative puncturing position. The plunger and cylinder have a first engaging stop arranged after partial insertion of the plunger, to temporarily prevent continued insertion at a predetermined initial position.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 1986Date of Patent: April 19, 1988Inventor: Hans Enstrom

Patent number: 4712548Abstract: A plunger having an oblong body with a front end and a rear end and a lancet having a cutting edge projecting axially from said body at the front end is insertable in a cylinder having an oblong hollow body with a front end, a rear end and an axial hole. The plunger of such a length and the lancet is so arranged that it protrudes a predetermined distance out of the cylinder at the front end when the plunger is inserted thereby defining an operative cutting position. The plunger and cylinder have first engaging stop means arranged after partial insertion of the plunger, to temporarily prevent continued insertion at a predetermined initial position. The arresting function of the stop means is overcome by applying pressure on the plunger thereby pushing it the remaining distance into the cylinder from the initial position to the operative position.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1985Date of Patent: December 15, 1987Inventor: Hans Enstrom

Patent number: 4676244Abstract: A plunger having an oblong body with a front end and a rear end and a lancet having a pointed end section projecting axially from said body at the front end is insertable in a cylinder having an oblong hollow body with a front end, a rear end and an axial hole. The plunger of such a length and the lancet is so arranged that the pointed end section of the lancet protrudes a predetermined distance out of the cylinder at the front end when the plunger is inserted thereby defining an operative puncturing position of the medical lancet. The plunger and cylinder have a first engaging stop arranged after partial insertion of the plunger, to temporarily prevent continued insertion at a predetermined initial position. The arresting function of the stop is overcome by applying pressure on the plunger thereby pushing it the remaining distance into the cylinder from the initial position to the operative position.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1983Date of Patent: June 30, 1987Inventor: Hans Enstrom
