  • Patent number: 12326189
    Abstract: An oil supply system for a machine, such as for a power unit of a motor vehicle, with a module body made of plastic including a collection tank which is divided into a prechamber and a main chamber. A predelivery pump can extract oil from the prechamber and pump it into the main chamber, a main delivery pump can extract oil from the main chamber and pump it to the machine, and a return line can return oil from the machine to the prechamber and/or the main chamber. A power unit for a motor vehicle can include such an oil supply system, wherein a predelivery suction opening is arranged on the floor of the prechamber and a main delivery suction opening is arranged on the floor of the main chamber, and the power unit is configured to be mounted in the motor vehicle with an orientation such that a line running through the two suction openings is arranged approximately parallel to the transverse axis of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7032496
    Abstract: A vacuum servo brake has an input member by which a valve arrangement may be acted upon at an input force to connect a working chamber selectively to the outside or to a vacuum chamber (separated from the working chamber by a piston which may be brought into operative connection with a main cylinder via an output member to generate a braking pressure). Provided on the piston is an elastomeric reaction member through which a reaction force may be applied to the input member. The output member has a stop which, with a predetermined input force, abuts against the working piston to alter an amplification ratio of the brake. Arranged adjacent to the reaction member is at least one volume take-up means into which part of the reaction member may be displaced in the event of the vacuum servo brake being actuated. Furthermore, the stop is preferably of resilient construction.
