  • Patent number: 11912130
    Abstract: A hybrid dual clutch transmission includes a first sub-transmission and a first clutch allocated to the first sub-transmission, a second sub-transmission and a second clutch allocated to the second sub-transmission, a separating clutch provided to decouple the hybrid dual clutch transmission from an internal combustion engine. The first clutch has a first outer disc carrier, the second clutch has a second outer disc carrier, and the separating clutch has a further outer disc carrier. The first clutch, the second clutch, and the separating clutch are stacked radially one above the other and are arranged at least substantially axially overlapping. The transmission also includes an electric motor having a rotor, a stator, and a housing. The transmission further includes a drive element permanently non-rotationally connected to the first outer disc carrier of the first clutch to link the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 10294722
    Abstract: A device for producing a bore in the ground includes a spindle comprising a rotary lead-through and a first sealing face configured to be cylindrical. The spindle is configured so as to be rotatably led through a housing via the rotary lead-through. The housing comprises a second sealing face configured to be concentric with respect to the first sealing face. A rotary seal arrangement is configured to seal the rotary lead-through of the spindle through the housing. The rotary seal arrangement comprises a shaft seal configured to act between the first sealing face of the spindle and the second sealing face of the housing. A labyrinth seal is arranged upstream of the shaft seal when viewed from an outside of the housing.

  • Patent number: 9776346
    Abstract: A particle foam component has a foam body, which is provided with a cover layer made of a plastic material at least in partial areas of its outer surface. The foam body has a compressed surface structure in its areas supporting the cover layer. The cover layer is bonded in substance to the compressed surface structure of the foam body. For producing the particle foam component, the foam body is foamed in a mold and the cover layer is foamed or molded integrally in a subsequent method step. A compressed surface structure is formed in the surface areas supporting the cover layer before applying the cover layer, and the cover layer is bonded in substance to the compressed surface structure.

  • Patent number: 9580108
    Abstract: A wheel carrier of a vehicle includes a clamping seat connection to a suspension strut or the like, which connection is clamped by a bolt-type connection. A lever structure is attached by this bolt-type connection to the clamping seat connection of the wheel carrier, from which lever structure an impact section projects from the bolt-type connection such that an obstacle striking this impact section or other object striking this impact section causes, in a vehicle crash, an at least partial release of the suspension strut in or from the clamping seat connection as a result of the impact.
