Patent number: 6227824Abstract: A fluid pump has a pump body and a displacer which is adapted to be positioned at a first and at a second end position by means of a drive, the displacer and the pump body being implemented such that a pump chamber is defined therebetween, and the pump chamber being adapted to be fluid-connected to an inlet and to an outlet via a first opening and a second opening which are not provided with check valves. An elastic buffer bordering on the pump chamber is provided. The displacer is implemented in the form of a plate which is secured to the pump body, and the pump body is provided with a recess defining the pump chamber. The drive acts on the displacer substantially in the area of the first opening. The displacer closes the first opening when it occupies its first end position and leaves the first opening free when it occupies its second end position.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1998Date of Patent: May 8, 2001Assignee: Han-Schickard-Gesellschaft für angewandte Forschung e.V.Inventor: Manfred Stehr

Patent number: 6142751Abstract: A hydraulic unit for a vehicle brake system that enables limiting wheel brake slip is known. To that end, the hydraulic unit has at least one piston pump, which is drivable by an electric motor and empties a reservoir that is filled on the occasion of the limitation of wheel brake slip. This reservoir comprises a cylinder, embodied in the manner of a blind bore, as well as a piston that divides a storage chamber from a spring chamber in the cylinder, a spring, and a closure element that prevents water from entering the cylinder if the hydraulic unit should become immersed in water. A pressure equalization conduit begins at the spring chamber and leads into the interior of the motor, so that a displacement of the piston for taking up pressure fluid in the storage chamber is effected essentially only by friction of the piston and forces of the spring. A conduit is also provided, by means of which pressure fluid that emerges from the piston pump at the eccentric can be carried away.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1998Date of Patent: November 7, 2000Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Krauter, Nikolaus Proebsting, Marc Finger, James J.
