Patent number: 11806951Abstract: A method is provided for producing a structural subassembly, in particular for a motor vehicle, including at least one first profile component of fiber-reinforced plastic and at least one connecting component for producing a node connection of the first profile component with a further profile component. The method includes the following steps: providing a mold with at least one mold half, which has a cavity that corresponds substantially to the first profile component to be produced and includes at least one integrally molded-on connecting component; introducing a one- or multi-piece textile reinforcing material, in particular a textile semifinished product, into the mold; introducing a flowable plastics material into the mould, in order to impregnate the textile reinforcing material; and curing and/or cooling the plastics material.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2017Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Bernhard Staudt, Tobias Preuss, Torsten Flemming, Florian Spirkl

Patent number: 11162568Abstract: The disclosure relates to an adjustment gearing device for a shaft, comprising a strain wave gearing. The strain wave gearing has a spur gear device and an inner rotor, and the spur gear device has a first cylindrical section and a collar section. The first cylindrical section has a first diameter, and an outer toothing, and the inner rotor has an inner toothing, said outer toothing and inner toothing meshing together at least in some regions. The adjustment gearing device also comprises an outer rotor, said inner rotor being rotatable in a rotational direction relative to the outer rotor. The spur gear device is rotationally fixed to the outer rotor, and has a second cylindrical section for contacting the outer rotor. The second cylindrical section has a second diameter, and the second diameter is larger than the first diameter.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2017Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KGInventor: Tobias Preuß

Publication number: 20130243998Abstract: The present invention relates to sandwich component and a method for producing such sandwich component. In addition to a viscoelastic layer disposed between a honeycomb-like core layer and one of two cover layers of the sandwich component a porous layer is provided which is attached the viscoelastic layer at the side of the viscoelastic layer facing away from the cover layer between which and the core layer the viscoelastic layer is disposed. The porous layer has a higher compressive strength than the viscoelastic layer. The sandwich panel may be produced by forming a corresponding layered structure including the layers of the sandwich panel and subsequently applying heat and/or pressure to said layered structure in order to produce the sandwich component.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2013Publication date: September 19, 2013Inventors: Tobias Preuss, Lionel Winkelmann, Peter Turanski, Hanno Alpeter, Karsten Hesse
