  • Patent number: 6702267
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic bearing, especially for supporting motor vehicle assemblies, that includes a supporting connection, a buttress connection which lies axially opposite the supporting connection and a bearing spring element which is located between these two and which includes (i) an elastomer radial spring, (ii) an expanding spring which is configured as a separate molded elastomer part in the form of a bell-type rolling membrane and which forms part of a hydraulic damping system between the supporting connection and the buttress connection, and (iii) an axially upright steel helical spring. The hydraulic damping system includes a working chamber, a throttle channel and a compensation chamber. A bearing housing radially surrounds the bearing spring element and the hydraulic damping system and is supported by the buttress connection.

  • Publication number: 20040026908
    Abstract: Elastic coupling component part for connecting two component parts that are exposed to oscillations and/or vibrations during operation, in particular of a motor vehicle, preferably for forming connection between a steering wheel skeleton and a damper element. The coupling component part is comprised of an elastic body and of a mechanical fastening device that is to be allocated respectively to each component part and that is securely connected to the body.

  • Patent number: 6572087
    Abstract: An elastomer spring for supporting an axially arranged coil spring, in particular in an engine mounting is constructed to reduce the radial loads on the coil spring with simultaneous damping and includes a transversely soft composition for the elastomeric spring. The elastomeric spring is provided with a centering projection which may be introduced into the coil spring and a section which may be deformed by the effect of radial forces, with a molded sheet being provided to stabilize the force carrying section of the elastomeric spring.

  • Patent number: 6363613
    Abstract: The method for manufacturing a torsion bar shoulder bearing has four method steps: (1) the manufacture of a elastomeric spring as a not fully vulcanized molding for receiving a sleeve-shaped or bolt-shaped inner connecting part in a central bore and an outer sleeve-shaped connecting element; (2) the pretreatment of the surface regions, to be connected to the molding, of the connecting parts by means of an adhesive system; (3) the pushing of the molding onto the inner connecting part and the insertion of the molding thus reinforced into the outer connecting part (or in the opposite sequence), as a result of which the elastomeric molding is clamped under moderate prestress between the two connecting parts, and (4) the concluding full vulcanization of the elastomeric molding in the assembled bearing, using a tempering furnace, at temperatures of below 140 to 150° C.
