Publication number: 20250187649Abstract: The disclosure relates to a steering gear for a motor vehicle including a linearly displaceable steering shaft arranged in a non-rotatable manner and mounted on a first bearing point, and a second bearing point spaced apart in a longitudinal extension of the steering shaft. The steering shaft is in engagement with a rotatable gear element so that a rotation of the gear element affects a linear displacement of the steering shaft. A bearing block is fixed to the steering shaft between the first bearing point and the second bearing point, which extends radially outwards from a lateral surface of the steering shaft and engages in a guide element that is stationary relative to the steering shaft. A first sliding element bears against a first sliding surface of the guide element and a second sliding element bears against a second sliding surface of the guide element opposite the first sliding surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2024Publication date: June 12, 2025Applicant: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Publication number: 20240377182Abstract: A position sensor may include an angle sensor, sensor shaft, and sensor wheel. The sensor wheel may include a first wheel-half, a second wheel-half, and a leg spring. The angle sensor may sense the rotation of the sensor shaft. The first wheel-half may be affixed to the sensor shaft. The first wheel-half may impart the rotations on the sensor shaft for sensing via a coupling with an external device, such as external threads of a ball screw nut. The second wheel-half may be supported by the sensor shaft and configured to rotate relative to the sensor shaft. The leg spring may torsionally couple the first wheel-half and the second wheel-half. The leg spring may cause the second wheel-half to an opposing lash of the external threads of the ball screw nut, thereby providing zero gear-lash.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Inventors: Trenton Dean, Maximilian Bossecker

Publication number: 20240359726Abstract: A ball screw drive for a vehicle steering system is provided, with the ball screw drive including a nut configured to receive torque from a power transmission drive. The nut has internal threads, and external threads are provided on the nut or connected thereto for rotation with the nut. A threaded spindle having a spindle thread is provided, with the threaded spindle being drivable by the internal threads of the nut such that rotary motion of the nut is translated into linear motion of the threaded spindle. A rotational angle sensor is provided having a sensor gear that is rotatably driven by the external threads of the nut, and the rotational angle sensor is configured to generate an electric signal based on a rotational position of the sensor gear.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 7125039Abstract: An occupant protection device for motor vehicles, having an unfoldable protection element which, when unfolded, forms a curtain for the protection of vehicle occupants, in particular in the head/chest region. A tensioning strap is provided which, when the protection element is unfolded, is tensioned between a first vehicle point and a second vehicle point and in the process forms an obstacle against which the unfolded protection element is supported by means of its outwardly directed rear side.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2003Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Takata CorporationInventors: Maximilian Bossecker, Ulrich Karlbauer, Robert Getz, Benedikt Heudorfer

Patent number: 7059634Abstract: A gas bag in which an orifice is opened or closed with the aid of a control band as soon as the gas bag has reached a predetermined state of deployment. One end of the control band is fastened to a gas bag envelope in the region of the orifice. The control band is connected at its other end to the gas bag envelope so that, when the predetermined state of deployment is reached, the control band slips into the gas bag envelope so that the orifice is closed by the slipped-in region of the gas bag envelope by the internal pressure of the gas bag, or the control band slips out of the gas bag envelope so that the previously closed orifice is opened.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2003Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Assignee: Takata CorporationInventors: Maximilian Bossecker, Robert Getz, Hans-Peter Sendelbach, Christian Weyrich, Andreas Riedel

The device includes a main airbag for bending the head of the occupant, and at least one secondary airbag in fluid communication with the main airbag. The secondary airbag and the main airbag being connected to one another so that the second airbag fills with gas first. The secondary airbag being configured to fill with gas and deploy to position the main airbag before inflation of the main airbag occurs.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2003Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Takata CorporationInventors: Maximilian Bossecker, Robert Getz, Ulrich Karlbauer

Patent number: 7004496Abstract: An occupant protection device with an airbag for fastening in a vehicle seat. In order, in an occupant protection device of this type, to make it possible for the seat to be produced and installed very simply and cost-effectively and to achieve reliable deployment of the airbag, the invention proposes that the occupant protection device has a receiving container for the airbag, which container is free of closure flaps, and the opening of the receiving container is covered by a seat cover of the vehicle seat. In this case, the seat cover is to be fastened to a side wall of the receiving container in such a manner that, when the airbag is inflated with gas, the seat cover tears open in the region of the opening of the receiving container.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2003Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Takata CorporationInventors: Maximilian Bossecker, Robert Getz, Ulrich Karlbauer

Patent number: 6572137Abstract: A vehicle has an airbag arrangement for protecting the occupant from neck whiplash during a front or rear collision and the cervical spine during a vehicle roll over. The airbag arrangement has an airbag device integrated with the vehicle seat. The airbag device has at least one airbag for protecting the occupant's head/neck region. The airbag is fully inflated when the vehicle rolls over. In that state, the airbag projects from the vehicle seat in such a way that it actively bends the occupant's head toward the occupant's chest, i.e., rolls the upper body for better protection. During a front and rear collision without a roller over, however, the airbag only partially inflates to an extent to position the airbag between the occupant's head and the head restraint, without displacing the occupant's head with the airbag.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2001Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: Takata-Petri (ULM) GmbHInventors: Maximilian Bossecker, Ulrich Karlbauer
