  • Patent number: 8820488
    Abstract: A brake lining assembly for a disc brake is configured for road vehicles and includes a brake caliper and brake linings located on either side of the brake disc. An unchecked dismantling of the brake linings is effectively prevented by having a mounting assembly formed from the two brake linings and the lining retaining bracket. To achieve this, the end regions of the lining retaining bracket are connected to at least one of the brake linings in a positive fit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7837015
    Abstract: A brake lining for a disc brake of a road vehicle has a blade-type retaining spring for the lining. At least two peripheral lining springs are situated on each brake lining, adjacent to the retaining spring, and exert a compressive force on at least some sections of the periphery of the lining carrier. The springs are configured in such a way that they respectively cover an edge region of the brake lining carrier, with the latter having at least two corner regions.

  • Patent number: 7597336
    Abstract: A combined central control unit is provided for an air suspension system and/or an air processing system. The air suspension system has an electronic control system characterized in that the electronic control system is integrated in the electronic control of the air processing system. Similarly, an air processing system has an electronic control system characterized in that the electronic control system is integrated in the electronic control of the air suspension system.

  • Patent number: 5752753
    Abstract: A modified antilock system/wheel slip control system arrangement is provided whose logic provides the use of the wheel slip control system valve as the actuating valve for the compressed-air cylinder used for engaging the differential lock of a limited-slip differential. The wheel slip control system valve or actuating valve will become operative, when a wheel slip control system control operation is started or when a coefficient of adhesion difference is recognized between the right and the left driving wheel of the vehicle at a pressure below a pressure threshold which engages the differential lock, to carry out the conventional wheel slip control system brake control. Once a maximum speed is reached and the adhesion difference is minimized, the wheel slip control system valve is fully opened to engage the differential lock.
