  • Patent number: 11248508
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a retaining flange for a metering valve for an exhaust gas cleaning module of an exhaust gas system of a combustion engine, wherein the retaining flange has a base plate having a central recess with a central axis for receiving the metering valve, wherein the base plate has a mounting surface via which the retaining flange can be positioned on the exhaust gas cleaning module in the region of a supply opening of the exhaust gas cleaning module, wherein a valve surface is provided opposite the mounting surface against which the metering valve can be positioned and wherein at least one retaining arm having a retaining eyelet with a central axis and for a retaining means is provided, on which the metering valve can be at least indirectly fixed, such that the at least one retaining arm has a root connecting to the base plate, from which the retaining arm extends in the radial direction relative to the central axis and in the circumferential direction about the central axis, wherein the ro

  • Patent number: 8025274
    Abstract: In an insert bearing part for combining with another insert bearing part structured the same or similar to form an elastomeric insert bearing there is provided a surrounding outer shell featuring a radial portion and an axial portion, an elastomeric body surrounded by the outer shell and a rigid core with an axial throughway for securing the insert bearing, said core protruding axially beyond the axial portion such that when locating the insert bearing part on the other insert bearing part structured the same or similar, the insert bearing parts contact each other substantially at the radial level of the core in forming an axial spacing between opposing axial portions of the insert bearing parts so that the elastomeric body is compressed by the insert bearing parts being brought together.

  • Patent number: 6631893
    Abstract: A pneumatically regulated classic bearing dampens hydraulically and decouples vibrations of a small amplitude using a freely displaceable element. The bearing can be engaged using a pneumatically activated control chamber, which has a miniature configuration and is located beneath the freely displaceable element, in such a way that the element forms a deformable or displaceable element for the control chamber. In place of a compensation regulation, in the control chamber, a shift to one of three possible, pneumatically determined control states preferably takes place. The states are VENTILATED, CLOSED and PRESSURIZED.
