  • Patent number: 11940026
    Abstract: A brake disk (1) has a brake disk chamber (2), a friction ring (3) having two friction ring disks (3a, 3b) and a plurality of pin-shaped connecting elements (4) for connecting the brake disk chamber (2) and the friction ring (3). A cooling duct (5) is formed between the fiction ring disks (3a, 3b). The friction ring disks (3a, 3b) have respective friction surfaces (3a1, 3b1) on their outer planar surfaces and respective cooling channel surfaces (3a2, 3b2) on their inner planar surfaces. The friction ring (3) has a plurality of receiving regions (7) for receiving the pin-shaped connecting elements (4). The brake disk chamber (2) is cast to the connecting elements (4) in a separate step by means of casting.

  • Patent number: 8486210
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing an elastomeric nonwoven laminate including a plurality of elastomeric strands joined to a nonwoven web in a controlled distribution is provided. The apparatus includes an extruder for extruding a plurality of elastomeric strands onto a cooled surface of a rotating drum, which transports the strands in parallel alignment to a nip formed between two rollers rotating about parallel axis. The drum transfers the plurality of strands to the nip in a controlled distribution where it is bonded with the nonwoven. The apparatus also includes elements which automate the apparatus for creating the elastomeric nonwoven laminate.
