The rotor includes a base portion from which protrudes a plurality of vanes spaced over the circumference of the base portion of the rotor. An increased diameter stepped portion of the base portion of the rotor is provided over at least one section between at least two of the protruding vanes. The increased diameter portion allows for insertion of at least one locking pin assembly within the base portion of the rotor, reducing the remaining rotor base portion diameter to at least reduce material weight and size of the camshaft phaser assembly.

  • Patent number: 5468271
    Abstract: A dust filter bag for a vacuum cleaner, having a holding plate (1) of a cardboard paper material, which holding plate (1) has a sealing-closable opening (9) for a suction pipe of a vacuum cleaner, the opening (9) being adapted to be closed from the outside by a separate closure tab (10) which has an insertion region, and, in order to obtain an improved dust filter bag, the cardboard-paper material is developed in three layers (layers a, b, c) in the region of the opening (9) and in at least two layers in the remaining region of the holding plate (1), a rubber gasket (11) being gripped between two layers, preferably the second and third layers (b, c).
