Patent number: 9694642Abstract: A seal arrangement for an air spring system for sealing off a shock-absorbing damper is disclosed. The shock-absorbing damper is situated in a rolling tube and in another tube, where the air spring system has at least one integrated control valve for the admission of compressed air into a pressure chamber formed between the outer tube, the rolling tube, and an air spring bellows that connects the outer tube and rolling tube. The seal arrangement is arranged between an inner circumferential surface of the rolling tube and an outer circumferential surface of the shock-absorbing damper and/or between an inner circumferential surface of the outer tube and the outer circumferential surface of the shock-absorbing damper. A support ring which is of step-shaped form on an outer circumferential surface is arranged on a distal end of the rolling tube and/or on a distal end of the outer tube.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Kornel Kantor, Miklos Tanczos

Patent number: 9527366Abstract: An air spring arrangement is disclosed. The air spring arrangement has at least one integrated control valve for the admission of compressed air into a pressure chamber formed between an outer tube, a rolling tube, and an air spring bellows that connects the outer tube and rolling tube. The at least one integrated control valve can be actuated, with multiple switching positions, by an integrated mechanical actuator as a function of an air spring stroke for ride-height adjustment. The pressure chamber includes a compression spring between a tube upper part and a tube lower part of the outer tube. A lever which is mechanically connected to the at least one integrated control valve can be actuated by at least one actuation lug, which is arranged on an end surface of the tube lower part, in order to realize a stepped characteristic for an aeration and deaeration of the pressure chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2015Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Kornel Kantor, Miklos Tanczos

Patent number: 9358848Abstract: A device for adapting actual tire pressure of a tire of a wheel of a vehicle axle to a current setpoint tire pressure during travel includes a chassis-side central device and a wheel-related pneumatic pressure-control device. The pressure control device includes a second connection which is at the actual tire pressure. A control valve with an open position connects a first connection to the second connection, and with a blocking position blocks this connection. A pilot control valve performs pilot control of the control valve. The pressure control device also has a bypass line, which bypasses the control valve and the pilot control valve, connects the first connection to the second connection, and has a non-return valve which opens in the inflation direction of the tire and blocks in the deflation direction of the tire.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2013Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Andras Voith, Janos Toth, Attila Mihalyi, Kornel Kantor
