Patent number: 8505582Abstract: A hydraulic valve for oscillating-motor camshaft adjuster is provided. The valve has a bush and a hollow piston with a piston bottom. The piston is axially movable within the bush by means of an actuator against the force of a screw-type pressure spring. The actuator is applied to the piston bottom. A sleeve secured in the bush is disposed inside the hollow piston and can be displaced relative to the piston. The wall of this sleeve has at least one through-opening, which leads to at least one opening of the hollow piston, which opening can guide a supply pressure (P) applied inside the sleeve alternatively to two sets of pressure chambers of the oscillating-motor camshaft adjuster. The sleeve has a sleeve bottom that seals off the inside space of hollow piston.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2011Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Hilite Germany GmbHInventors: Patrick Gautier, Marc Hohmann, Wolf-Dietmar Schulze, Andre Selke, Markus Todt

Patent number: 8430018Abstract: A device for coupling a piston to an annular disc, in particular to a captive C-washer/swash plate or to a pivot ring of the working unit of a reciprocating-piston machine, preferably of a compressor of the air-conditioning system of a motor vehicle, having a piston bridge which is assigned to the piston and sliding shoes which are assigned to the annular disc, wherein the piston bridge engages at least partially around or over the annular disc and is in sliding engagement with the annular disc by means of the sliding shoes, is characterized in that the piston bridge is of two-layer design at least on the side facing towards the piston. The invention also relates to a reciprocating-piston machine having a device according to the invention.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2007Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: ixeric MAC GmbHInventor: Marc Hohmann

Patent number: 8210495Abstract: The invention relates to a solenoid valve that is to be mounted leaktight and in a simple manner. Provided according to the invention is a first housing part with a tool engagement portion for screwing of a second housing part into an inner thread of a receptacle. The two housing parts are joined immovably to each other. The first housing part has a tensile strength that is greater than a tensile strength of second housing part.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2009Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Hilite Germany GmbHInventors: Marc Hohmann, Thorsten Fischer
