Hydraulic control for operating an automatic gearbox, especially a continuosly variable transmission
Patent number: 6030317Abstract: A hydraulic control for operating an automatic transmission, especially a continuously variable transmission, has at least one first and one second switching component (1, 2) for forward or reverse drive from a neutral position (N) to a drive (D) or reverse (R) position and vice versa. The switching components (1, 2) can be actuated by pressure via pressure lines (24, 25) by a selector slide (15) and by a switching device (26) between the selector slide (15) and the switching components (1, 2) which has a switching valve (27, 28) and a damper, switching and vent valve (29, 30) for a switching component (1, 2). The switching device (26) has a safety and vent device designed in a manner such that when one of the switching components (1, 2) is actuated, the other switching component(s) is/are automatically disengaged.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1998Date of Patent: February 29, 2000Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Hubert Konig, Hans Peter Stoll -
Patent number: 5961408Abstract: The proposal is for a device for controlling a CVT (3) driven by a drive unit (1) in which an emergency running unit is activated on the breakdown of the electronic control device (15). It sets a constant compression or power ratio between the primary (S1) and secondary (S2) pulleys.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1997Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Hubert Konig, Hans Peter Stoll, Ralf Vorndran

Patent number: 4928740Abstract: A stud link for a tire chain, including a plate-like link body that has a tire contact surface and a wearing surface. The link body has at least one attachment hole for a chain link that is to be connected, and at least one central wearing element and two other wearing elements, one on each side of the central element. The wearing elements are disposed one after the other in a longitudinal direction of the stud link. At least one of the side faces of the central wearing element is recessed relative to the adjacent side faces of the other elements.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1989Date of Patent: May 29, 1990Assignee: Eisen- und Drahtwerk Erlau AktiengesellschaftInventor: Hubert Konig

Patent number: 4719669Abstract: A fastening member provided at the end of a spring-elastic mounting strap of a tire chain. The fastening member has an introduction passage and an attachment passage for a cooperating fastening member that is secured to the other end of the mounting strap. A guide passage interconnects the introduction passage and the attachment passage. This guide passage, at the level of a hook arm portion that partially separates the introduction passage from the attachment passage, extends at an angle of greater than 90.degree. relative to the longitudinal axis of the attachment passage. In this way, the cooperating fastening member can be easily hooked in the fastening member. The inclined course of the guide passage relative to the longitudinal axis of the attachment passage assures a high degree of protection against accidental unhooking.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1986Date of Patent: January 19, 1988Assignee: Eisen- und Drahtwerk Erlau AktiengesellschaftInventors: Anton Muller, Hubert Konig, Ludwig Wolfbeis

Patent number: 4542779Abstract: An antislip tire chain has provided therewith an inner part and an outer part joined together by a tread part. The inner part includes a fastener formed by a fastener member and a counter fastener member. An introduction opening of the fastener member is open in a direction towards the counter fastener member; via a guide portion extending transversely of the insertion direction of the counter fastener member, the fastener member is joined to an attachment or securing opening. In a region between the introduction opening and the attachment opening, which lies transversely of the guide portion, there is a securing element for the engaged counter fastener member. The fastener can be easily closed, the counter fastener member being reliably secured against unintentional release.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1984Date of Patent: September 24, 1985Assignee: Eisen- und Drahtwerk Erlau AktiengesellschaftInventors: Anton Muller, Hubert Konig, Ludwig Wolfbeis

Patent number: 4525900Abstract: A tensioning device, especially for lashing chains. The device includes a tightening, tensioning or adjusting nut with which at least one tensioning spindle can be shifted, which is provided with a link member at the end thereof. An actuating element is non-rotatably connected with the nut for rotating the latter. The actuating element is mounted on the tensioning device subject to the interpostioning of at least one damping element.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1982Date of Patent: July 2, 1985Assignee: Eisen- und Drahtwerk Erlau AktiengesellschaftInventors: Anton Muller, Hubert Konig, Karl Herdeg
