Harm-Hendrik Lange has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9599127
    Abstract: The invention relates to an system for supplying a hydraulic circuit with hydraulic fluid. The system includes a working reservoir and an auxiliary reservoir connected to the working reservoir by a hydraulic line. An air pump has an inlet connected to a suction line that opens into a liquid-free portion of the auxiliary reservoir so that a negative pressure can be built up in the auxiliary reservoir relative to the atmospheric ambient pressure. The air pump inlet is also connected to a control line, which comprises a control opening which is covered by the hydraulic fluid in the working reservoir, at least before the air pump is started up.

  • Publication number: 20140060981
    Abstract: A vehicle braking system includes a wheel braking unit with an actuator, friction unit, and resilient member. The wheel braking unit is controlled by an operating element. The braking system can be operated in a normal operation mode by a control parameter. The braking system can be operated in a safety mode when the control parameter falls below a threshold value. In the normal mode, the control parameter acts on the actuator so that the actuator establishes a first air clearance in the friction unit. When in the safety mode, a resilient member establishes a second air clearance, which is smaller than the first air clearance.

  • Patent number: 8151818
    Abstract: The invention concerns a system for supplying hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic system, with an operating reservoir that accepts the hydraulic fluid provided for the operation of the hydraulic system and an auxiliary reservoir connected to the operating reservoir over a hydraulic line for intermediate storage of hydraulic fluid withdrawn from the operating reservoir. According to the invention, an air pump is available that is connected on the one hand on its low pressure side to a suction line that ends in a fluid free area of the auxiliary reservoir, so that a negative pressure can be built up in the auxiliary reservoir as against the external atmospheric pressure, and that is connected, on the other hand, to a control line that is provided with a control opening that is covered by the hydraulic fluid in the operating reservoir at least before the air pump is put into operation.
