  • Patent number: 8573167
    Abstract: A control valve for a device to variably adjust control times of gas-exchange valves of an internal combustion engine. The control device has a valve housing and a control piston. The valve housing has an axial cavity with a dividing element arranged in the cavity that separates the cavity into two partial spaces and hydraulically seals the spaces from one another. The dividing element is produced separately from the valve housing and is positionally fixedly fastened in the cavity of the valve housing. The first partial space holds the control piston, and a supply connection is formed in the region of the first partial space. The second partial space has at least one first opening via which pressure medium can be supplied to the second partial space by a pressure medium pump, and at least one second opening by which the second partial space communicates with the supply connection.

  • Patent number: 8096273
    Abstract: A magneto-rheological fluid controlled camshaft phaser is provided having a stator with inwardly directed projections which define working spaces therebetween. The stator is adapted to be connected to the crankshaft via a timing gear and chain. A rotor is located radially inside the stator and is connected to the camshaft. Rotor lugs extend radially outwardly from the rotor into the working spaces, dividing them into first and second chambers on each side of the rotor lugs. A magneto-rheological fluid is located in the chambers, and the chambers on each side of each rotor lug are connected via a clearance space between the radially outer surface of the lugs and the inner surface of the stator located between the projections. The rotor is connected to the camshaft. An electromagnetic assembly is mounted adjacent to the stator and includes at least one electromagnet along with at least one ferrous focusing piece.

  • Patent number: 8051818
    Abstract: A dual independent phasing system (DIPS) phaser assembly for coaxial camshafts having two axially stacked, thin phasing subassemblies which are each conventional vane-cell type phaser assemblies is provided. These phasers are preassembled together as a unit to make one DIPS phaser assembly. The rotor of the rear phaser is attached to the outer camshaft of the coaxial cam, and the rotor of the front phaser is attached to the inner camshaft. The radial force from the timing chain or belt is transmitted to the outer camshaft via a chain ring or pulley connected to the stator of the rear phaser. In order to provide for ease of mounting, the DIPS phaser assembly (including the front and rear phasers) is attached to the outer camshaft via mounting bolts which are passed through openings in the rotor of the front phaser in order to attach the rear phaser rotor to the outer camshaft. A central mounting bolt is used to connect the front phaser rotor to the inner camshaft.

  • Patent number: 7305948
    Abstract: A device (1) for changing the timing of an internal-combustion engine (2) is provided that has a camshaft adjuster (5), which is supported on a non-rotating bearing journal (6). A driving wheel (8) of the camshaft adjuster (5) is driven by a crank-shaft (3) via a first traction mechanism drive (7). The rotation of the driving wheel (8) is transferred via an actuator (10) to a driven part (9), which is arranged so that it can rotate relative to the driving wheel (8). Second and third traction mechanism drives (11, 12) create a drive connection between the driven part (9) and two camshafts (4, 4a).

  • Publication number: 20060021826
    Abstract: A ring filter comprises a frame and a filter section. The frame comprises at least two first frame elements. One of the first frame elements is arranged on the axial front faces of the filter section and is fixedly connected thereto. The filter section extends in the axial direction between the two first frame elements. The filter section has a shape deviating from a straight line, as seen in longitudinal section. This significantly increases the effective filter surface and reduces throughflow resistance and the risk of the ring filter becoming clogged.

  • Patent number: 4700988
    Abstract: An infant seat is designed to attach to backs of chairs and similar objects. It has a supporting seat in which the infant sits. The seat section is attached to the chair-attaching section. Positioning means may be provided for adjusting the vertical position of the seat relative to the attaching section. The attaching section has a pair of horizontal braces designed to rest on the top of the back of the chair. A rear arm is fixed to the pair of braces and rests against the back of the back of the chair. The front arm member has sleeves which can slide on the horizontal braces. The front arm is pushed toward the back arm so that the two arms hold the infant seat to the back of the chair. When the infant is placed in the supporting seat, the sleeves of the front arm pivots slightly about the horizontal braces to lock the position of the front arm. Each arm is U-shaped so that the arm cannot fit between slats of a chair.

  • Patent number: 4527830
    Abstract: A device for transporting infant supplies and for supporting an infant includes a main body that has upright walls extending from a base for forming a central cavity. The top of the cavity is closed by an upper support surface. A portion of at least two of the walls extend above the upper support surface, and the infant support member of two table members hinged relative to each other are mounted on the infant support surface. The shafts about which the tables hinge extend outward and engages slots in portions of the upright walls above the support surface. The table members slide through their connection with the hinge shafts through the slot. At one end of the slot when the table members are folded over each other, the table members are nested above the main body. At the other end of the slot, when the table members are open, the central pivot is generally centrally located on the main body to prevent tipping of the device.
