Patents by Inventor Jorg Kaiser

Jorg Kaiser 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).

  • Patent number: 10156591
    Abstract: A current meter having a movably mounted swivel element, in which an angle is subtended between a first leg and a second leg of the swivel element. A free end of the first leg is coupled to the handle and a free end of the second leg is coupled to the first receiving element, these being movable relative to each other, so that upon activating the handle an activating force engaging with the first leg can be generated. The activating force can be converted by the swivel element into a displacement force on the second leg, directed transversely to the activating force, so that by this displacement force the first receiving element can be moved.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7993226
    Abstract: A clamping device with mechanical damping for a traction mechanism drive is provided. The device includes a clamping arm which carries a tension roller on one end thereof and is rotatably mounted in a housing at the other end thereof via a shaft connected thereto in a rotationally fixed manner, and is elastically supported on the housing by a torsion spring. A free end of the shaft is connected to a friction disk in a rotationally fixed manner, and a friction lining is arranged between the friction disk and an axial abutment surface of the housing. The invention reduces the friction lining wear and increases the damping capacity thereof. To accomplish this, a separate friction disk (7??) is connected to a separate friction lining (8??) in a positively locked manner without play, and the separate friction lining ((8??) is in frictional contact with the axial abutment surface (10) of the housing (1).

  • Publication number: 20030017894
    Abstract: A tensioner for a traction member includes a faceplate that is stationarily secured to a machine part, with a working eccentric member rotatably supported on the faceplate for limited rotation against a spring force. After pre-installation of the tensioner, a locking device fixes the position of the working eccentric member relative to the faceplate. In one installation position, a catch limits-the pivot range of the working eccentric member.
