  • Publication number: 20070108001
    Abstract: A hydraulic bearing has an inner part (1) and an elastomeric bearing body (2) connected to the inner part (1) by vulcanization. An outer sleeve (3) accommodates the inner part (1) with the bearing body (2). At least two damping agent chambers (4, 4?) are filled with a viscous damping agent and are connected to one another through a throttle channel (44) and are sealed by at least two sealing lips (5, 5?). At least one volume (6), which is not connected to the damping agent chambers (4, 4?) in a flow-conducting manner and is consequently arranged separated from the damping agent chambers (4, 4?) and the channel connecting these, is formed between two sealing lips (5, 5?). The volume (6) is filled with a rheological liquid (7). A process for manufacturing the hydraulic bearing is described.

  • Publication number: 20070108678
    Abstract: A process is provided for manufacturing a hydraulic bearing having an inner part (1), an elastomeric bearing body (2), connected to the inner part (1) by vulcanization, and an outer sleeve (3). At least two damping agent chambers (4, 4?) are filled with a viscous damping agent and are connected to one another through a flow or throttle channel (44) and are sealed against the escape of the damping agent by at least two sealing lips (5, 5?). A volume (6) is arranged between the sealing lips (5, 5?) separated from the damping agent chambers (4, 4?) and from the channel connecting same. The damping agent chambers (4, 4?) are filled with the damping agent, and the outer sleeve (3) is pushed first onto the hydraulic bearing. There is a subsequent filling of the volume (6) with a viscous liquid (7), whose viscosity differs from the viscosity of the damping agent.

At least two damping agent chambers (4, 4?) are filled with a viscous damping agent and are connected to one another through a flow or throttle channel (44) and are sealed by at least two sealing lips (5, 5?) arranged in the bearing body (2). At least one volume (6) is arranged separated from the damping agent chambers (4, 4?) and from the channel connecting them and is formed between the two sealing lips (5, 5?). The volume (6) is filled with a curing liquid (7) possessing elastic properties after curing. A process for manufacturing the hydraulic bearing is described.

  • Patent number: 6688448
    Abstract: A device is provided for shifting a mechanical shifter between a first shifting state and at least one second shifting state, especially for engaging and disengaging a parking brake for an automatic transmission. An adjusting member (4) is coupled with the shifter for shifting between the shifting states. A control member (5) is provided that can be coupled with the adjusting member (4). A coupling device (5, 6, 7, 12) can be actuated by an electric signal By this coupling device (5, 6, 7, 12) the adjusting member (4) and the control member (5) can be coupled with one another. The coupling device (5, 6, 7, 12) is designed such that the adjusting member (4) and the control member (5) are uncoupled from one another in case of loss of the electric signal. A drive (8, 9, 10, 11) is coupled with the control member (5) for driving the control member (5).
