Patent number: 6398303Abstract: The seat cushion of a seat can be tilted about its longitudinal center axis for generating a tilting movement of the pelvis of a seat occupant. For generating the tilting movement, an adjusting element is provided in each of the right and the left area of the seat cushion. The adjusting elements interact to cause an opposite adjusting movement in the vertical direction, whereby the tilting movement of the pelvis is achieved. The adjusting elements are constructed, for example, as liquid-filled rolling bellows, in which case a sliding vane rotary pump changes the volume of the two adjusting elements in a diametrically opposed manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2000Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Wolfgang Herrmann, Peter Beerbaum, Josef Leitner, Rudolf Lein, Erhard Moser, Ralf Dietz, Juergen Schreiner, Ludwig Faerber

Patent number: 6001038Abstract: Described is a method of controlling a power distribution hydromechanical branched transmission consisting of an adjustable hydrostatic unit (4), an integrating planetary gear (10) with at least two outputs (26, 27) and, connected to the integrating planetary gear, a range-changing gear (11) designed as a double planetary gear. The two outputs (26, 27) are connected to the range-changing gear (11) by a first clutch (K1) or a second clutch (K2), and one element of the range-changing gear (11) is controlled by a third clutch (KV). Additional clutches (K3, K4) are fitted for the other ranges. In conditions in which the gear-change position is uncertain, the first clutch (K1) or the second clutch (K2), depending on the instantaneous speed of the vehicle, is synchronized and engaged by adjusting the hydrostatic unit (4), and then either one of the other clutches (K3, K4) or the third clutch (KV) is synchronized and engaged.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1998Date of Patent: December 14, 1999Assignee: Steyr-Daimler-Puch AktiengesellschaftInventors: Gebhard Wontner, Josef Leitner
