Wolfgang Kasdorf has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7265474
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for holding and/or guiding and applying power to a carbon brush (16, 18) in the direction of a current-transferring commutator (14) comprising a first spring element (20), which acts upon the side of the carbon brush facing away from the contact surface. To ensure that the carbon brush is supplied with the necessary pressure in the direction of the commutator, it is suggested that a second spring element (52, 56, 56), which supplies power to the carbon brush (16, 18) in the direction of the commutator (14), act upon the first spring element (20).

  • Patent number: 7176591
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system consisting of carbon brushed and circular pot-like carriers (10) having at least one electrical interconnection and surrounding a commutator of a motor, and a frame (18) that projects peripherally over the carrier and can be fixed into position between a motor housing and a transmission housing, proceeding from the peripheral surface of the carrier. In order to attain a simplification in the manufacture of carriers for different applications, it is proposed that the carrier be connected form and/or force-locking to one frame of several frames of different configurations via locking projections (22, 24) and locking recesses (25, 26).

  • Patent number: 7045928
    Abstract: The invention concerns a pot or cup-shaped carrier (10) for carbon brushes (12), especially intended for servomotors, comprising an inner wall, such as a bottom wall, originating from the carrier perimeter wall, and interspersed by the commutator or by a shaft originating therefrom, wherein each carbon brush is acted upon via a plate spring (14) in the direction of a commutator that is interspersed by the carrier.

  • Patent number: 7015618
    Abstract: The invention concerns an arrangement for supplying power to an electric motor having a commutator, comprising at least two carbon brushes (12, 14), as well as flat springs (16, 18) that subject said brushes to force in the direction of the commutator and proceed from a mounting and are connected to electric terminals. In order to enable a defined transfer of force from the flat springs to the carbon brushes, while at the same time ensuring that an unambiguous fixing of the flat springs into position and a secure current supply takes place, it is proposed that the flat springs (16, 18) have a U-shape with legs (38, 40) of unequal length, that a carbon brush (12, 14) be fastened to each longer leg, and that the shorter leg be connected electrically conductive to an at least partially encapsulated conductor path or printed circuit, which is at least a section of the mounting.

  • Publication number: 20050116577
    Abstract: A holder for a carbon brush, particularly one which may be applied to a commutator, includes a spring element with a fixing section and a support section for housing the carbon brush. According to the invention, a secure fixing of the carbon brush may be achieved in which the carbon brush has a material connection to the support section.

  • Patent number: 6870297
    Abstract: Holding device for a carbon brush especially connected to a commutator or a friction ring with a front end including a bent spring element with a U- or L-shaped bent holding device segment and a carrier segment for receiving the carbon brush. In order to fix the brush securely without a notch effect, the carrier segment includes a support surface supporting the carbon brush on its rear side, and holding segments protruding from the carrier segment and extending along at least two opposing lateral surfaces of the carbon brush.
