Publication number: 20260117908Abstract: A pulsation damper for damping pressure medium fluctuations in a hydraulic system, in particular in a motor vehicle brake system, including a plug with a sleeve-shaped extension and a hat-shaped elastomeric membrane which is at least partially inserted into the extension of the plug. The membrane includes a collar with an edge-side bead, wherein the collar of the membrane is pushed around an edge of the extension. The bead bears on the outer side against the extension, and the membrane is connected in a pressure-tight manner to the plug via a clamping sleeve acting on the outer side on the bead and on the extension; and a method for producing a pulsation damper.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2024Publication date: April 30, 2026Applicant: CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGIES GMBHInventors: Maximilian KRETSCHMER, Uwe GREIFF, Axel HINZ

Patent number: 12228180Abstract: A pulsation damper for damping pressure medium vibrations in a hydraulic system, has a membrane within a bore of a housing, which membrane is exposed to the pressure medium on its one side and faces a gas-filled cavity inside the housing on its other side, the bore of which is closed by means of a plug. The membrane, in conjunction with the plug and a hollow-cylindrical support body, forms an independently handleable, functionally pre-testable assembly, for which purpose the membrane is substantially cup-shaped, and the support body extends into it.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2020Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Continental Automotive Technologies GmbHInventors: Uwe Greiff, Volker Grings, Axel Hinz, Christoph Wagner, Stefan Schmitt, Petra Fischbach-Borazio
