Patent number: 9604520Abstract: An air spring assembly or air spring damper with an integrated valve control for controlling a level position of a vehicle or of a driver's cab includes a rolling tube, a lid and an air spring bellows which together delimit a pressure chamber with compressed air. A control valve includes an actuation device for feeding compressed air into the pressure chamber or for discharging compressed air from the pressure chamber. A compression spring device has a first end operatively connected to the rolling piston or the lid and a second end operatively connected to the actuation device. The compression spring device is configured with at least two parts including a central spring facing towards the rolling piston or the lid and a control valve biasing spring facing towards the control valve. The central spring is biased to a greater extent than the control valve biasing spring.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2013Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: VIBRACOUSTIC CV AIR SPRINGS GMBHInventors: Michael Weber, Stephan Dehlwes

Patent number: 9428023Abstract: A pneumatic spring for utility vehicles comprising a rolling bellows and a rolling piston. The rolling bellows has at least one bead-like plug-on edge. The rolling piston is of unipartite form and includes an interior space constantly exchanging air with an air chamber enclosed by the rolling bellows. At the plug-on edge, the rolling bellows has a sealing bead with an inelastic bead core for connection to the rolling piston. The fastening of the plug-on edge to the rolling piston, with position securing action and sealing action, is disposed on an inner side of a rolling piston edge.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: VIBRACOUSTIC CV AIR SPRINGS GMBHInventor: Stephan Dehlwes

Patent number: 9278597Abstract: An air spring for a vehicle with a lifting function includes an upper rolling piston and a lower rolling piston disposed opposite to each other. A rolling bellows encloses a compressed air space and has double rolling folds. The pressure effective surfaces of the rolling folds are coordinated with each other in such a manner that, during dynamic spring operation of the air spring over a predetermined spring travel, the pressure effective surface of the rolling fold on the lower rolling piston is larger than the pressure effective surface of the rolling fold on the upper rolling piston.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2012Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: VIBRACOUSTIC CV AIR SPRINGS GMBHInventors: Stephan Dehlwes, Jonny Dreves

Publication number: 20040017030Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic spring assembly comprised of at least one pressure reservoir (1) with a connection to the chassis, with a roll-off piston, a pneumatic spring bellows (2), which encloses a volume-elastic air chamber (3), and with a shock absorber comprising, in turn, a reservoir tube and a piston rod (12) that dips into the reservoir tube in a sliding manner. The pressure reservoir (1) comprises a pressure chamber (4) and a, for the most part, pot-shaped accommodating chamber (5), whereby a shock-absorber bearing (6) comprising an elastomer body (7) and a supporting piece (8) can be placed inside said accommodating chamber (5). The inventive pneumatic spring assembly is characterized in that the pressure reservoir (1) is provided with a dynamic seal (16) in the area of the bottom opening (11) of the accommodating chamber (5).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2003Publication date: January 29, 2004Inventors: Stephan Dehlwes, Helmut Lau
