Publication number: 20240077097Abstract: A damping arrangement which is fastenable in an opening of a first component and by which a dampened connection of the first component with a second component are realizable. The damping arrangement comprises two structurally identical damping elements, wherein each damping element including a head portion with a first outer diameter, a shaft portion with a second outer diameter that is smaller than the first outer diameter and extends from an underside of the head portion, as well as a central first through opening that is arranged within the shaft portion. The shaft portion comprises a circumferential wall with a plurality of apertures so that the two structurally identical damping elements are fastenable to one another via the shaft portion by means of a form fit and/or friction fit connection wherein the undersides of the head portion are arranged facing each other and with the first component arranged therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Jakob Klassen, Heinrich Heinrichs

Patent number: 11761477Abstract: A coupling bolt or pin, in particular a ball pin, with a coupling head, such as a ball head, and a thread shaft. The thread shaft comprises a thread in a longitudinal portion of the thread shaft, which extends parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the thread shaft. Within the longitudinal portion of the thread a thread inhibition is provided by means of which a frictional connection between the thread and a counter thread engaging therein and being present at a radial inner wall of a thread opening is increasable. A disc-shaped support structure is provided between the coupling pin and the thread, a radial extension of which is adaptable to a diameter of the thread opening so that the coupling pin is supportable against a lateral load with respect to the axis of the coupling pin within the thread opening.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Böllhoff Verbindungstechnik GmbHInventors: Heinrich Heinrichs, Michael Kahre

Publication number: 20230279884Abstract: A coupling bolt includes a connecting portion with which the coupling bolt is fastenable to or in a first component, and a shaft extending from the connecting portion and defining a longitudinal axis of the coupling bolt. The shaft has a pre-fixation portion and a fastening portion, and along the longitudinal axis in the direction of the connecting portion the pre-fixation portion comprises a first head portion with a first diameter, a subsequent first, tapering transition portion and a first locking portion with a second diameter which is smaller than the first diameter. Along the longitudinal axis in the direction of the connecting portion, the fastening portion includes a second transition portion adjacent to the first locking portion, a subsequent second head portion with a third diameter that is larger than the first diameter, a third tapering transition portion and a second locking portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Heinrich Heinrichs, Waldemar Wedel

Patent number: 11702841Abstract: An arrangement for fastening first and second components with automatic compensation in spacing between the components has a base element with first and second axial ends and a holding structure for holding the base element in an opening of the first component. An adjusting unit screwable into the base element has a driver unit. A fastening screw is connectable to the adjusting unit via the driver unit, such that, when the fastening screw is rotated, the adjusting unit can be rotated conjointly and moved into contact with the second component. The holding structure has a holding segment arranged such that, by the holding segment, an angle between the first and second component can be compensated such that, when the adjusting unit makes contact with the second component, a longitudinal axis of the fastening arrangement runs perpendicular to a plane of the second component.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2018Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Böllhoff Verbindungstechnik GmbHInventors: Hans-Ulrich Figge, Michael König, Heinrich Heinrichs, Gerald Welzel

Publication number: 20210355979Abstract: A coupling seat provides a seat space in which the coupling head of a coupling bolt can be releasably locked and moved linearly in the seat space. The seat has a wall that surrounds the seat space, and the dome has a locking structure to fasten the coupling seat in an installation opening in a component. The seat has an open end and a closed end with a locking structure for the head of the coupling bolt. The locking structure of the dome comprises latching bars that are arranged opposite each other on an inner wall of the seat space and parallel to a longitudinal axis of an inner dome cross-section and form an undercut opposite the insertion direction. The locking structure permits movement of a coupling bolt along the latching bars in the seat space transverse to the insertion direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2019Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Heinrich Heinrichs, Jan Norman Kratzsch, Michael Kahre
