  • Publication number: 20160069389
    Abstract: A rolling body guide element for a roller bearing, having an inner web (1) that is arranged between two adjacent rolling bodies in the installed state and forms a first and second connecting part wall (1a, 1b) facing a respective rolling body at the radial plane of the rolling body axes, a run-on structure (2) formed in the region of the respective connecting part wall to provide at least one roller run-on zone supporting the respective rolling body in the circumferential direction, and a radial guide structure (3) for radial guidance of the inner connecting part. According to the invention, the rolling body guide element includes first and second side edge pieces (4, 5) which, on sides of the rolling body guide element facing away from one another, rise up above the end faces of the adjacent rolling body and overlap these end faces.

  • Publication number: 20080193686
    Abstract: The invention relates to laminated glazing intended to close a window opening and consisting of an external solid pane and an internal solid pane, which are joined together by means of an interlayer. A multilayer system partially transparent to visible radiation is placed on the inside of the laminated glazing. The laminated glazing according to the invention is characterized in that the panes are tinted and absorb some of the infrared radiation, and in that the multilayer system selectively reflects and/or absorbs the infrared radiation. The laminated glazing is particularly suitable for being used as side windows, tail gate or sunroof in vehicles or aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20070029156
    Abstract: The friction clutch between the prime mover and the change-speed transmission in the power train of a motor vehicle is actuatable by a slave cylinder cooperating with a master cylinder wherein the piston is movable by a clutch pedal or by an electric actuator. The casing of the slave cylinder is made, at least in part, of a plastic material and defines a plenum chamber arranged to receive pressurized fluid from the master cylinder by way of a conduit extending through a bell which contains the clutch and the slave cylinder. The annular piston of the slave cylinder surrounds the input shaft of the transmission. The plastic material of the casing of the slave cylinder can contain one or more additives which enhance its strength and/or influence its frictional engagement with the adjacent surfaces of the piston or of a lip seal which reciprocates with the piston.
