  • Patent number: 5066041
    Abstract: A control system for stabilizing the rolling of a vehicle, having control elements arranged between vehicle wheel carriers or wheel suspension members and the vehicle body to generate forces approximately in a vertical direction. The control system is activated only when threshold values for the lateral acceleration of the vehicle and for the steering wheel turning angle are exceeded. When the control system is activated, the control elements generate a rolling moment at the vehicle body counteracting the rolling motions caused by driving conditions and at first completely, or for the most part, only at the rear wheel axle. In a transition period, which depends on vehicle parameters, the control system will then change the rolling moment distribution between the front wheel axle and the rear wheel axle to a given fixed rolling moment distribution.

  • Patent number: 4087667
    Abstract: A double-throw contact assembly, particularly for relay switches, or push button switches of the non-locking type, having a break contact, a make contact, and a pair of flexible contact arms associated therewith. Each contact arm is fixed adjacent one of its ends at a clamp point and has a free end movable into and out of contact with one of the break and make contacts. In their relaxed state, the arms converge at the clamp point from a bend intermediate the free end and the clamp point, thereby to define two linear portions or segments for each arm, a first straight segment for each arm extending from the clamp point to the bend, and a second straight segment for each arm extending from the bend to the free end of the arm.

  • Patent number: 4086977
    Abstract: A suspension installation for an exhaust gas system of a motor vehicle, especially of a passenger motor vehicle, which essentially consists of a support part rigidly mounted at the vehicle body and of a support part rigidly mounted at the exhaust gas system and of a support ring of elastic material operatively connecting these support parts; the cross section of the support ring has at least one cross-sectional change and each support part is provided with abutments which are so arranged that they cooperate with this cross-sectional change.
