Patent number: 12123493Abstract: An emergency release of a parking lock of a vehicle transmission arranged in a transmission housing 9 includes an actuating element of an actuator for actuating the parking lock is drivable so as to be linearly movable between an interlock position and a release position. The emergency release lever 3 is pivotable away from a normal position past an emergency release position into an installation position and, in a second end region, has two guide projections 15, 16, which are parallel to each other and extend radially toward the pivot pin 7, and between which a securing projection 10, which is fixedly connected to the transmission housing 9, projects when the emergency release lever 3 is in the normal position and in the emergency release position. In the installation position of the emergency release lever 3, the securing projection 10 is located outside the area between the two guide projections 15, 16 on the emergency release lever 3.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2021Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Julia Klein, Tobias Miller

Patent number: 11708900Abstract: A parking lock includes a locking pawl (2) and an interlocking element (6) arranged on a connecting bar (5) to a selector lever (4). The end of the connecting bar (5) facing away from the interlocking element (6) is articulatedly connected to the selector lever (4). A hydraulically actuatable actuator (10) includes two pistons (11, 12) provided for disengaging the parking lock. During normal operation, a detent device (13), which is actuatable by an electromagnet (13a), locks the first piston (11) in a piston position corresponding to an engaged condition (P_ein) or a disengaged condition (P_aus). Without requiring activating the electromagnet (13a) to release the detent device (13), the parking lock, during normal operation, is manually disengagable with an emergency disengagement device (15) acting upon the second piston (12) and is manually engagable with an emergency engagement device (16) acting upon the detent device (13).Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventors: Florian Weinl, Sebastian Deeg, Dirk Leutheuser, Tobias Miller, Arthur Strehlau, Julia Klein, Matthias List, Armin Gierling

Patent number: 11215282Abstract: A parking lock includes a locking pawl (2) and an interlocking element (6) arranged on a connecting bar (5) to a selector lever (4). During engagement of the parking lock, the selector lever (4) is rotated by a spring (9). A hydraulically actuatable actuator (10) including two pistons (11, 12). A first piston (11) is pressurized in order to disengage the parking lock and axially displace the second piston (12) against a spring (9). Axial movement of the second piston (12) rotates the selector lever (4) and vice versa. A detent device (13) of the actuator (10), is actuatable by an electromagnet (13a). An emergency release device (15) is operatively connectable with the selector lever (4) so that the second piston (12) is axially displaceable by the selector lever (4) without displacing the first piston (11).Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventor: Julia Klein

Patent number: 11137073Abstract: A parking lock includes a locking pawl (2) and an interlocking element (7). The locking pawl (2) is pivotably mounted on a pawl pin (1) and engageable with a parking interlock gear (3). The interlocking element (7) is arranged on a connecting bar (4) to a selector disk (5), spring-loaded with a spring element (6), and clampable between the locking pawl (2) and a guiding plate (8). An end of the connecting bar (4) facing away from the interlocking element (7) is articulatedly connected to the selector disk (5). An engaging piece (16) of the selector disk (5) is operatively connected to a parking lock actuator (12). The connecting bar (4) is arranged below the locking pawl (2) such that a motion plane of the connecting bar (4) is parallel to a motion plane of the locking pawl (2) and perpendicular to the pawl pin (1).Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2018Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventors: Julia Klein, Matthias List, Tobias Miller, Franz Brugger, Bernd Austermann

Patent number: 11022218Abstract: A parking lock for a transmission of a motor vehicle having an interlocking element of a connecting rod that is biased against a parking lock disengagement direction to bring and keep a ratchet tooth of a locking pawl in engagement with a tooth space of a parking interlock gear during an engagement of the parking lock. The connecting rod is provided a spring force acting in a parking lock engagement direction from an inserting spring and a compressive force acting in the parking lock disengagement direction from a hydraulically actuatable actuator having first piston pressurizable to disengage the parking lock. A detent device actuatable by an electromagnet mechanically fixes the first piston in either a latched or unlatched piston position associated with an engaged or disengaged position of the parking lock, respectively. A system determines a current engagement position of the detent device by assessing an inductance at the electromagnet.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventors: Thomas Schwegler, Florian Weinl, Michael Jud, Armin Haugg, Julia Klein

Patent number: 9867767Abstract: The invention relates to the use of glucosylglycerol or glucosylglycerol esters with a view to increasing the expression of cell protective enzymes for the protection and stabilization of human skin and/or mucous membranes. It has been demonstrated that glucosylglycerol plays an effective role in the stimulation and activation of cell protective enzymes such as superoxide dismutase. It is thus possible in this manner to protect human skin cells effectively against damaging external influences.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2009Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Bitop AGInventors: Julia Klein, Gerhard Stumm
