Robert FINZEL 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: 12062763
    Abstract: An accumulator system has a high-voltage accumulator for mobile work machines. A battery management system, has a controller-line connections which can be switched by switches; and a data bus for connection to a work machine control unit. In order to advantageously render an electrical-system battery unnecessary, the battery management system comprises, for voltage supply, a DC-DC converter which is located upstream of the controller in terms of current flow and which is connected to the high-voltage accumulator via a standby circuit. The standby circuit can be activated by a circuit that is external to the accumulator system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10151305
    Abstract: A bent-axis machine comprises a housing having a control cover and a piston drum which is rotatably mounted in the housing on a valve plate and which has axial cylinders, each of which receives a piston. An adjustment system includes a pivot cradle via which the piston drum and the valve plate can be pivoted relative to the drive axis about a maximum working range which is delimited by a minimum pivot angle and a maximum pivot angle. The minimum pivot angle of the working range is shifted out of its zero position by at least 5°, and the maximum pivot angle is extended in the same way by at least 5° in order to retain the entire working range about the region left out of the lower region.
