Publication number: 20230358301Abstract: An automatic transmission (1) includes a transmission housing, a hydrodynamic torque converter (5), a first brake, a second brake, an intermediate plate (6) fixedly connected to the transmission housing and with ducts for supplying the hydrodynamic torque converter (5) and the two brakes (A, B) with oil. An oil guide shell (7) is arranged between the hydrodynamic torque converter (5) and the intermediate plate (6). The oil guide shell (7) has an inflow opening (40), which is arranged above a tank, and an oil ejection opening, which is arranged above the inflow opening (40). Oil coming from the two brakes sinks via oil ducts (39.1, 39.2, 39.3) in the transmission housing and the intermediate plate (6) and reaches the hydrodynamic torque converter (5) via the inflow opening (40) in the oil guide shell (7).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Thomas Riedisser, Gabriele Glade, Julia Baumann, Stephan Stroph, Andreas Knörle-Philipp, Jan Göbel, Peter Reinders, Martin Kibler, Hans-Peter Bock, Florian Lanz, Juergen Stauber, Rudolf Raedler

Patent number: 10158739Abstract: A system for transmitting data between laser apparatuses or machine tool apparatuses that have communication devices. The system includes a first laser or machine tool apparatus with a first communication device for setting up a first connection that is a local wireless point-to-point connection, and a second laser or machine tool apparatus including a second communication device for setting up a second connection that is a local wireless point-to-point connection, and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a terminal data memory, and a terminal communication device for setting up local wireless point-to-point connections to the first apparatus and the second apparatus. The system is configured to transmit data of the first apparatus through the first connection to the mobile terminal, buffer-store the data in the terminal data memory, and, after the first connection terminates, transmit the data from the mobile terminal through the second connection to the second apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2017Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: TRUMPF Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH + Co.

Patent number: 6840570Abstract: A floor assembly for a driver's cab of a commercial vehicle, has a tunnel section extending in the direction of travel of the vehicle and floor sections which extend, with regard to the direction of travel, next to the tunnel section and are fastened laterally to the tunnel section. In order to simplify the formation of variants with the floor assembly, the tunnel section is of multipart construction and has, with regard to the direction of travel, a front tunnel part and a rear tunnel part connected thereto. The rear tunnel part begins at the rear floor assembly end and ends at the front tunnel part which, for its part, ends at the front floor assembly end. The tunnel parts are fastened in each case directly or indirectly to the floor sections.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2003Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Hans-Peter Bock, Herbert Fischer
