Patent number: 10731709Abstract: A clutch apparatus may include a first shaft member having a first end portion including axially extending first protrusions. The clutch apparatus may also include a second shaft member arranged axially opposite the first shaft member, the second shaft member having a second end portion including axially extending second protrusions. Additionally, the clutch apparatus may include a clutch member having a disk-shaped main body arranged between the first shaft member and the second shaft member, the clutch member including an annular rim that encircles the main body and protrudes beyond the the main body in both axial directions, the annular rim including first recesses disposed on a first side of the clutch member and second recesses disposed on a second side of the clutch member. The second end portion may further include at least one latching element and the clutch member may further include at least one mating latching element.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: MAHLE INTERNATIONAL GMBHInventors: Marco Dettinger, Mathias Endress, Wolfgang Gueth, Johannes Weinmann

Patent number: 10280880Abstract: An internal combustion engine may include at least one engine block having a plurality of cylinders and at least one flange component. At least one attachment part may be secured to the at least one flange component. An alignment device may be constructed and arranged to align the at least one attachment part relative to the at least one flange component when the at least one attachment part is attached to the at least one flange component. The alignment device may include at least a first alignment unit, a second alignment unit, and a third alignment unit, which may be spaced apart from one another. At least one of the first alignment unit, the second alignment unit, and the third alignment unit may be constructed and arranged to align the at least one attachment part to a cylinder head in relation to a first aligning direction perpendicular to an attaching direction, when the at least one attachment part is attached to the cylinder head.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2016Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Mahle International GmbHInventors: Marco Dettinger, Mathias Endress, Wolfgang Gueth

Patent number: 10196990Abstract: An intake module of a fresh air system for an internal combustion engine may include a housing having a plurality of openings through which fresh air is flowable, and a control device for controlling a cross-section of at least one of the openings. The control device may include at least one control staff and at least one control valve arranged on the control shaft in a rotationally fixed manner for the at least one opening. The control shaft may be mounted on the housing by at least one bearing bracket such that the control shaft is rotatable about a rotational axis. The housing may have at least one bearing receiving portion for receiving the bearing bracket. The bearing receiving portion may have an insertion opening through which the bearing bracket may be inserted in an insertion direction oriented perpendicular to the rotational axis.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Mahle International GmbHInventors: Marco Dettinger, Mathias Endress, Wolfgang Gueth
