Kurt Dollhofer 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: 6926534
    Abstract: The invention relates to a holding device for sliding contacts. The holding devices so far known require a very high expenditure for mounting or alignment. A flexible printed circuit board with mechanically rigid carrier elements that permit the adaptation to the geometry of the slipring enables a simple and low-cost structure.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Schleifring und Apparatebau GmbH
    Inventor: Kurt Dollhofer
  • Patent number: 6644977
    Abstract: An arrangement for transmitting electrical signals and/or energy between units mobile relative to each other, by means of galvanic contacts and a sliding-contact arrangement in particular. The inventive device excels itself by the provisions that at least one of said contacts comprises a basic material having a high mechanical stability, into which a second material is embedded which presents good electrical characteristics with respect to the transmission of electrical signals and/or energy, and that said second material is so distributed in said basic material that at least one further contact, which contacts this contact, is in contact with said second material along the major part of the trajectory of the movement.

  • Publication number: 20020034887
    Abstract: What is described here is a device consisting of a first and a second part which parts are mobile relative to each other by a rotational or translational movement, as well as roll bodies in an axial, vertical or oblique direction between the two parts. The invention is based on the problem of ensuring a low-interference signal transmission immune to interference as well as a long service life of the transmission system. In particular, excessively great asymmetries are to be avoided.
