  • Patent number: 8931446
    Abstract: A camshaft adjuster (2) having a locking cover (1) formed of sheet metal, wherein the locking cover (1) has a substantially disc-shaped base surface (3) and has a collar (7), which extends in an axial direction (5) and which runs at least partially around the base surface (3), for receiving a spring cover (31). As a result of the production of the locking cover (1) from sheet metal in combination with a turned-up collar (7), the locking cover (1) can be produced simply and cost-effectively and nevertheless offers adequately high strength despite the low material thickness.

  • Patent number: 7185635
    Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines includes a high-pressure accumulator acted on with highly pressurized fuel by a high-pressure delivery unit and in turn supplies fuel to fuel injectors. The fuel injection system has a pressure control valve, which is disposed between a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side and actuating a valve element. The pressure control valve is actuated by means of an electrical actuator. An end surface of the pressure control valve delimits the low-pressure region in the high-pressure accumulator and is sealed by means of a seal disposed on the low-pressure side.

  • Patent number: 7121264
    Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines including a high-pressure reservoir which is acted upon by fuel at high pressure via a high-pressure feed unit and supplies fuel injectors with fuel. The high-pressure feed unit is assigned a pressure regulating valve which is disposed between a high-pressure side and a low-pressure side and includes a valve element which is triggerable via an electrical final control element. The pressure regulating valve includes a housing component which includes a deformable region by way of which, upon mounting of the pressure regulating valve on a receiving body, a gap L between faces of an electrically triggerable final control element assembly is adjustable.

  • Patent number: 7021256
    Abstract: An electromagnetic hydraulic valve having an electromagnet with a coil winding arranged on a spool, and a magnet housing, a valve stem having a pressure connection, a tank connection and a consumer connection. The spool and the valve stem are a one-piece plastic body which has an axial longitudinal bore which is an armature space for a magnet armature and also is a control region for a closing body. The magnet housing, with a collar which projects into the longitudinal bore, forms a top magnet pole of the electromagnet. A bottom magnet pole, connected to the magnet housing in a magnetically conductive manner, of the electromagnet likewise projects into the longitudinal bore of the plastic body.

  • Patent number: 6739024
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a structured, voluminous non-woven web or velourised film from a thermoplastic by producing an unstructured web and subsequently processing this web using a pair of rollers (10a, 10b). The pair of rollers consists of a positive roller (10a) having numerous positive bodies distributed over the roll sleeve surface and a negative roller (10b) having equally as numerous cavities. During the rolling process, the positive bodies engage with the cavities and stretch the unstructured web in the area of the roller engagements in such a way that a deep-drawn web structure with numerous cavities is produced. After the web has passed through a roller gap, the deformed web, still bonded to the positive roller, is brought into contact with a perforating tool and perforated.
