Oliver Schmautz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9783179
    Abstract: A hydraulic block of a hydraulic multi-circuit vehicle braking system having braking force regulation includes an installation space for a hydraulic reservoir of the vehicle braking system that is isolated from a braking circuit, for example by closing a connecting line using a pressed-in ball. The installation space is connected to another braking circuit via an additional bore, wherein a larger storage volume is available to the braking circuit as a result. The necessary changes to the hydraulic block are small.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8801408
    Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump for a motor vehicle braking system having a housing section and a piston guided displaceably in the housing section. The invention further has an intake valve having a valve seat arranged on the piston. The valve seat is configured as a circular sealing edge. A spherical valve body of the intake valve seals against the spherical sealing edge.

  • Patent number: 8764127
    Abstract: In a method for carrying out an emergency braking procedure in a vehicle, at least one electric actuator in the braking system is automatically actuated to generate an increased brake force in the case of an emergency situation. A maximum voltage, which exceeds the rated voltage of the actuator, is applied to the electric actuator.

  • Patent number: 8591209
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pump having a valve through which a fluid can optionally flow. The valve is embodied by a cavity for displaceably guiding a spherical blocking body, and a valve seat that is spatially adapted to the spherical shape of the blocking body. A free space protruding radially outwards from the spherical body is located downstream, directly behind the valve seat, for temporarily receiving the fluid which flows through the valve seat.

  • Patent number: 8388325
    Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump for a vehicle braking system, having a housing section and a piston that is displacably guided into the housing section. A receiving cap is provided for receiving an inlet valve. A sealing element is connected to the receiving cap for sealing the piston and a piston rod that is joined to the sealing element. The piston rod has a first and a second piston rod element. In the first piston rod element, a fluid inlet for introducing the fluid into the inside of the piston is provided. The second piston rod element partially covers the fluid inlet in the axial direction of the piston.

  • Patent number: 8017196
    Abstract: A pump piston and/or elements sealing the pump piston, in particular a sealing ring of elastomeric material with an additionally applied coating are/is proposed. To improve the durability characteristics, the pump piston and/or the elements sealing the pump piston have a coating which is formed at least predominantly of halogen-, silicon-, carbon-containing and/or metal-organic monomers. Furthermore, a device and a method for coating an object of elastomeric material utilizing a plasma are proposed.
