Otto Brass 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: 6927508
    Abstract: The invention relates to the decoupling device for an actuator, which has a number of decoupling elements. A securing element is disposed between these decoupling elements. The actuator is fastened to the securing element. The decoupling elements rest against radial support shoulders and axial support shoulders of the securing element and a housing. These are embodied so that radial, axial, and tangential oscillations of the actuator are decoupled from the housing.

  • Patent number: 6278209
    Abstract: Decoupling devices for an electric motor in relation to a housing usually have decoupling bushes made of elastic material, which are disposed between a motor mount and the housing and extend along a bush longitudinal axis. The decoupling device includes a first contact point at which the decoupling device rests against the motor mount, and a second contact point at which the decoupling device rests at least indirectly against the housing, each decoupling bush is secured so that the decoupling bush can be radially deflected in relation to the bush longitudinal axis, by means of which the forces are in fact transmitted, but vibrations are damped or insulated.

  • Patent number: 6225714
    Abstract: The electric motor, especially a permanently excited direct current motor, has a housing (16) carrying a magnetic pole (15) and a grounding ring (17) made from magnetically conductive material and mounted on the housing. In order to reduce the noise generation of the motor the grounding ring (17) is a knit article made from a thread-form or wire-form magnetically conductive material.

  • Patent number: 6076795
    Abstract: In known retaining devices for electric motors, rotationally flexible retaining elements on the order of leaf springs are provided between a receiving housing and the electric motor and serve to decouple noise of the electric motor. The novel retaining device for an electric motor includes retaining elements that extend axially between a receiving housing and the motor housing. These retaining elements enable low-frequency decoupling below the frequencies to be decoupled; on the occurrence of natural resonance when the electric motor is turned on and off or there are shocks from outside, the torsional motion of the retaining elements is limited by stop elements. The retaining device is especially well suited to electric motors of blowers.
