Patent number: 6244578Abstract: A switchable, hydraulically damping mount. The mount includes a working space and an equalization space that are filled with damping fluid and are connected in fluid-conveying fashion by way of at least one orifice in a partition wall. The orifice is closable by an actuator of an adjusting apparatus. The actuator has, on the side facing the working space, a variable-volume gaseous medium-filled chamber that is connected to the atmosphere through at least one connecting opening.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1999Date of Patent: June 12, 2001Assignee: Firma Carl FreudenbergInventor: Hans-Werner Schwerdt

Patent number: 6136134Abstract: In the manufacture of a pressed-in torsional vibration damper, the contact surfaces of the components arranged concentrically with one another are coated, before the elastomeric spacer ring is inserted, with an adhesive which is then activated by fitting the components together. The adhesive is subsequently cold-cured or catalytically activated.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1995Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: Hans-Werner SchwerdtInventors: Hans-Werner Schwerdt, Helmut Lau

Patent number: 5314255Abstract: A bearing includes two hollow cylindrical prop rings coaxially surrounding a central axis. A bellows element formed from a thermoplastic elastomer material elastically couples the prop rings in the radial direction. The bellows element has a radially extending profile that includes at least one fold protruding in the axial direction. The bellows element also has an axial length that does not overlap the axial length of said prop rings. At least one bumper is provided axially outside the axial length of the fold. The bumper has a profile that radially extends, during normal operational use, from at least one of the prop rings in the direction of the other prop ring. The bumper and the fold partially overlap.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 1992Date of Patent: May 24, 1994Assignee: Firma Carl FreudenbergInventor: Hans-Werner Schwerdt

Patent number: 5123634Abstract: A rubber sleeve spring having hydraulic damping includes an internal and an external tube 1, 2 which are radial-elastically supported on one another by means of a first spring body 3. A second spring body 10 is provided corresponding to the first spring body 3. The second spring body is disposed in the gap between the internal and the external tube 1, 2 at a radial distance to the first spring body 3. The second spring body 10 can optionally be connected to the internal and/or the external tube 1, 2.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1991Date of Patent: June 23, 1992Assignee: Firma Carl FreudenbergInventor: Hans-Werner Schwerdt

Patent number: 5031885Abstract: A rubber sleeve spring includes an internal part 1 an external part 2 which encloses the latter radially spaced-apart and a spring body 3 made of an elastomeric material which is disposed in the gap formed by this space and adhesively connected to the internal part 1 and the external part 2 and the spring body encloses at least three connecting arms 4, 5, 6 between the internal part 1 and the external part 2. At least one of the connecting arms 4, 5, 6 is completely separated by a separation 7 in at least one partial area of its longitudinal extension between the internal part 1 and the external part 2 and the separation 7 basically extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the internal and external parts 1, 2 and at least one insert 8 is provided which is inserted in the separation 7 while generating an elastic preload in the components of the respective connecting arm 4, 5, 6 adjacent to both sides of the separation.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1989Date of Patent: July 16, 1991Assignee: Firma Carl FreudenbergInventor: Hans-Werner Schwerdt

Patent number: 5024425Abstract: Rubber sleeve spring with an hydraulic damping, including two connecting pieces which enclose one another in a relationship parallel to their axes and are radially spaced apart and, in which, in the gap formed by this space, there are two spring bodies successively disposed in radial direction and preferably made of a rubber elastic material of which the external spring body encloses liquid filled chambers with a basically cross-like configured profile. At least two chambers of the external spring body which are opposite to one another are connected via a dampening opening and an intermediate mass is provided between the external and the internal spring body. The intermediate mass comprises two opposing half shells 7.1, 7.2 associated with the vertical center plane of the external spring body 4 in a mirror-inverted relationship. The half shells 7.1, 7.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1990Date of Patent: June 18, 1991Assignee: Firma Carl FreudenbergInventor: Hans-Werner Schwerdt

Patent number: 4936557Abstract: A hydraulically damped rubber cartridge spring in which a rubber spring body is surrounded at each lateral end by a permanently vulcanized supporting ring and, in the region between them, by a ring body which consists of two half shells. The ring body and the supporting rings have the same outside diameter and are in contact with the cylindrical inner surface of an outer tube of the device.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1988Date of Patent: June 26, 1990Assignee: Firma Carl FreudenbergInventor: Hans-Werner Schwerdt

Patent number: 4927123Abstract: A hydraulically damped elastic sleeve spring comprises an inner tube, an outer tube enclosing the former at a radial spacing and a spring body of rubber or similar elastic material that is adhesively connected to the tubes in the gap formed therebetween. The spring body comprises a partition forming at least two chambers disposed one behind the other with respect to the plane in which the force to be damped is applied. The chambers are separated by the partition, filled with liquid and connected to each other via at least one choke opening. The partition may comprise two sections that bridge the gap on both sides of the inner tube in a direction essentially transverse to the force application direction. At least one of the partition sections is stiffened against transverse displacement by a reinforcement body that may be formed as a column. The reinforcement body may extend at a radial distance from the inner and the outer tubes parallel to the longitudinal extent of the tubes.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1988Date of Patent: May 22, 1990Assignee: Firma Carl FreudenbergInventor: Hans-Werner Schwerdt

Patent number: 4907787Abstract: A liquid-filled rubber cartridge spring is composed of an outer tube and a window tube which are mounted statically at rest one inside the other and together define a gap which is sealed at both ends by rings of elastic material adhesively bonded to the window tube and/or to the outer tube. The rings are disposed at the end faces of the window tube and the outer tube has inwardly turned flanges over-reaching the sealing rings and pressing compressively against the latter.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1988Date of Patent: March 13, 1990Assignee: Firma Carl FreudenbergInventor: Hans-Werner Schwerdt

Patent number: 4817926Abstract: A hydraulically damped tubular rubber spring comprising spaced apart inner and outer tubes, made of aluminum, sheet metal or plastic. Disposed in the spacing between the tubes is a rubber element which is adhesively mounted both internally and externally and which comprises at least two chambers, arranged in a row in the direction in which the forces are applied, and separated by a partition. These chambers are filled with a liquid and interconnected through at least one throttle opening. The inner tube is provided at least at one point with a radial enlargement of its wall, and the throttle opening is enclosed over at least a portion of its length by the radial enlargement.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1988Date of Patent: April 4, 1989Assignee: Firma Carl FreudenbergInventor: Hans-Werner Schwerdt
