Abstract: A drain valve for draining liquid out of a container which comprises an essentially cylindrical opening that passes through a thickened area of the container wall, with an internally threaded section formed at an outer end thereof, followed by an interior space with a larger diameter into which a duct opens, and opposite the interior space an inner section with a smaller diameter opens into the container. A step is provided between the interior space and the inner section and serves as the seat for an associated end face of the valve element. A step between the interior space and the bore, on the one hand, and the inner end face of the valve element, on the other hand, are designed to co-operate as a valve seat which progressively opens and closes as the valve element is displaced.

Abstract: What is proposed is a transmission pump (1), in particular a transmission oil pump of an automatic transmission, comprising a pump housing (2) and a pump cover (3) or an oil guide flange, with which in the case of a gear pump, the driving pump gear wheel (6) and, in the case of a vane cell pump, the vane cell wheel, is driven through a pump carrier (5) operatively connected to the pump drive shaft (4), whereas the pump carrier surface areas feature an inclination to the effect that the driving pump gear wheel (6) is led in an axial manner in the direction of the pump housing (2), and arrives at the structure at the pump housing (2).

Abstract: An oil cooling circulation for a vehicle transmission comprising a transmission enclosure (1) having an input pipeline (2) and a return pipeline (3) for oil exchange between the inner area of the transmission and an oil cooler. A control valve (5) is provided which, by activation of a pre-loaded valve part (6) sliding along a center line of the control valve (5), the return pipeline (3) can be coupled with the supply input line (2). The valve part (6) has, at the return pipeline (3), a pin shaped top part and the transmission enclosure (1) has a borehole (4), penetrating the supply input line (2) and the return pipeline (3), in which the control valve (5) is positioned. The valve part (6) of the control valve (5) is slidingly positioned between a borehole bottom and a provided supporting part (10; 10?; 10?; 10??) in the estuary of the borehole (4).

Abstract: An actuating device (18) or a clutch (16) of a motor vehicle (2) comprising one electric motor (34), one gearing (36, 40, 42, 44) which converts rotational motion of the electric motor (34) into a translatory motion and one accumulator (52). The converter gearing comprises one recirculating ball spindle (44). The accumulator (52) is at least partly situated within the recirculating ball spindle (44), and at least parts (58, 60) of a displacement sensor (56) are situated within the recirculating ball spindle (44).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a parking lock mechanism (2) for a transmission (1), comprising a pawl (4), which can pivot from a neutral position into a locking position in which the transmission (1) is locked, whereby the pawl (4) is prestressed in the neutral position by way of a spring element. According to the invention, the spring element is a leaf spring (14). The present invention furthermore relates to a transmission (1) incorporating such a parking lock mechanism (2).
