Heinz Ossendorf 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).
Abstract: A coupling, used in drivelines or for driving agricultural implements, has a first coupling element (1) and a second coupling element (2). An actuating element (4) is axially displaceable relative to the first coupling element (1) between a switched-on position and a switched-off position. A power drive (5) actively displaces the actuating element (4). The power drive (5) loads the actuating element (4) in the switched-on position against an abutment mechanism (31, 36). A first spring (6), in the switched-on position of the actuating element (4), loads the friction assembly (3). This enables the friction assembly (3) to assume the torque transmitting position.

Abstract: A coupling, used in drivelines or for driving agricultural implements, has a first coupling element (1) and a second coupling element (2). The coupling elements (1, 2) are arranged to be rotatable relative to one another around an axis of rotation Z. A friction assembly (3) can be loaded to transmit torque between the first coupling element (1) and the second coupling element (2) to assume a torque transmitting position. An actuating element (4) is axially displaceable relative to the first coupling element (1) between a switched-on position and a switched-off position. In the switched-on position, the friction assembly (3) is loaded to assume the torque transmitting position. A power drive (5) displaces the actuating element (4). The power drive (5) loads the actuating element (4) in the switched-on position against an abutment mechanism (31, 36). The abutment mechanism (31, 36) delimits the displacement path of the actuating element (4) and holds the actuating element (4) in the switched-on position.
