Patent number: 11480257Abstract: A valve arrangement to allow a fluid flow in a first direction and block it in a second direction opposite the first direction. The valve arrangement includes: a fluid channel, a valve seat and a closing body arranged in the fluid channel. The closing body prevents fluid flow in the second direction when resting against the valve seat and allows fluid flow in the first direction when the closing body is lifted off the valve seat; a closing body holder in the fluid channel configured to restrict movement of the closing body in the first direction when the closing body is lifted off the valve seat. The closing body holder held on an inner circumferential wall of the fluid channel in a frictional fit and/or movable in the first direction in a position in which the closing body holder is held on an inner circumferential wall of the fluid channel.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Schwäbische Hüttenwerke Automotive GmbHInventors: Gerd Jäggle, Michael Ehringer, Georg Wiebel

Patent number: 8814544Abstract: A rotary pump with an improved seal on a control pressure chamber, including: a housing having a delivery chamber; a feed wheel rotatable in the delivery chamber; an actuating member surrounding the feed wheel forming delivery cells and moveable in the housing relative to the feed wheel. The control pressure chamber is delineated by the actuating member together with axially facing axial co-operating surfaces, forming an axial sealing gap and a radial sealing gap. A control fluid can be introduced into the control pressure chamber for applying pressure to the actuating member to exert an actuating force in the actuating direction; a restoring device for generating a restoring force; and a sealing element arranged on the actuating member or the circumferential co-operating surface. To compensate for a change in gap width of one of the axial sealing gaps, a base leakage cross-section is provided on the sealing element.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2012Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Schwabische Huttenwerke Automotive GmbHInventors: Jürgen Ebinger, Michael Ehringer, Kim Boris Friedrich, Stefan Küchle, Boris Memel, Sven Peters, Lothar Preisler, Anton Schmid, Klaus Wiggenhauser
