  • Patent number: 11938661
    Abstract: A device for injection molding a molded part having an insert includes a mold having a mold cavity, an insert loading device having an insert push rod for positioning an insert in the mold cavity, a magazine having inserts arranged side by side and aligned with the insert push rod, and an insert feed channel ending in the mold cavity and into which the insert aligned with the one insert push rod can be pushed out of the one magazine by means of the insert push rod. The magazine has a horizontally aligned insert receiving surface having adjacent placement positions for the inserts, the placement positions being adapted to the contour of the inserts. The magazine has a loading region having at least one freely accessible placement position for mechanically loading the same with an insert.

  • Publication number: 20240093774
    Abstract: A gear has a gear body made of a first plastic material. The gear body has an axis of rotation, external toothing arranged around an axis of rotation, a centrally located receiving opening, and an intermediate portion located between the external toothing and the wall of the receiving opening. The gear body is fixedly integrally formed on a support body, which is arranged at least partially in the intermediate portion and is made of a second plastic material having a higher stiffness and lower elasticity than the first plastic material, such that surface portions of the external toothing, of the wall of the receiving opening, of the intermediate portion, and of the support body form a substantially flat end face of the gear. The external toothing is helical toothing with teeth which, at least in portions, extend at a helix angle to the axis of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20240035552
    Abstract: A multi-component gear wheel (10) for a gear assembly of a brake actuator, in particular of a motor vehicle includes a sleeve-shaped support body (100) made of a first plastic material and a gear wheel body (200) firmly integrally formed onto the support body and made of a second plastic material, which has a lower stiffness and higher elasticity than the first plastic material. The gear wheel body (200) has outer toothing (210) and inner spindle-nut toothing (230) for receiving a spindle (50). The spindle-nut toothing (230) is at least partially axially spaced apart from the outer toothing (210) in one direction. The support body protrudes axially at least partially into the region of the helical gear toothing and into the region of the spindle toothing (230).

  • Patent number: 6202509
    Abstract: The invention concerns a drive shaft with a rigid support ring (1) with a cylindrical, internally geared support surface (3), with a radially flexible roller bushing (5) with an outwardly geared outer surface (7), with a drive device (30) connected with a drive shaft (11), through which over a plurality of spokes and planetary arms (40) one or several first circumference sections are held in engagement with the support surface (3) of the support ring (1), wherein each of the spokes or planetary arms (40), at least on one of its two ends, has a slit-like indentation and the spokes or planetary arms (40) are connected with each other through a one piece unitarily formed ring band, whereby the ring formed band is formed-on at least approximately at half length of the spokes or planetary arms (40).

  • Patent number: 6109136
    Abstract: Differential transmission with a rigid support ring (1) which exhibits an essentially cylindrical bearing surface (2) and with a radially flexible roller bushing (5) which has an outer surface (7) with a circumference smaller than the bearing surface (2), wherein one or more circumference segments of the outer surface (7) are maintained in essentially slip-free engagement with the bearing surface (2) of the support ring (1) via multiple transmission elements (32), said engagement progressively successively changeable by rotation of a drive core (20) rotatably provided within the roller bushing (5) and rotatably driven by a drive shaft (14), wherein the transmission elements (32) are formed by a multitude of essentially radially extending segments of equal length, that the roller bushing is supported upon the drive core (20) via these segments, and that the segments with their radial side surfaces lie against each other and with respect to each other are radially slidable.

  • Patent number: 4868801
    Abstract: The invention relates to a spring winding gearing for the drive assembly of a device with a drive shaft biased by a coil spring and a drive controlling device acting on the drive shaft via at least one intermediate transmission. A first toothed wheel is firmly attached to the drive shaft, a pivotable locking pawl is provided for the first toothed wheel, which locking pawl is held in the disengaged position by a movable support member, and a second toothed wheel is arranged at the support member, which second toothed wheel cooperates with the first toothed wheel and, upon increased rotational speed of the first toothed which second toothed wheel cooperates with the first toothed wheel for releasing the locking pawl. In this manner, racing of the drive shaft in case of a broken axle and the like is prevented, and in order to realize malfunction in due time, the safety mechanism against racing can be checked manually.
