20100052281 | TWIST-BEAM REAR AXLE COMPRISING AN ADDITIONAL WATT LINKAGE - A suspension is provided for non-steered wheels on a motor vehicle body. The suspension includes, but is not limited to a twist-beam rear axle with a Watt linkage. A top rocker arm of the Watt linkage is mounted on the motor vehicle body. The Watt linkage prevents the motor vehicle from oversteering during cornering. The damping bushes can be disconnected in part from wheel-guiding functions as the Watt linkage performs a major part of the wheel guiding functions, which leaves some freedom for designing the characteristics so as to significantly increase motoring comfort. | 03-04-2010 |
20110031712 | REAR AXLE OF TYPE TWIST BEAM AXLE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE - A twist beam axle is provided for a motor vehicle, with two rigid trailing arms for the mounting of wheel carriers, each of which can be articulated on a vehicle body through a bearing bush. The trailing arms are connected with each other through a flexurally rigid, but at least in sections, torsionally elastic, antiroll bar and through a Watt's linkage. In the twist beam axle, center axes of the bearing bushes are each arranged parallel to the vehicle vertical axis. In addition, the invention extends to a motor vehicle equipped with such a rear axle. | 02-10-2011 |
20110084547 | FRICTION-WELDED COMPOUND LINK - Introduced is a compound crank axle having a flexurally stiff and torsionally soft cross member, on whose ends two trailing links are arranged. The respective ends of the cross member are joined with the trailing links through friction welding in an angularly stiff manner. Here, the trailing links joined with the cross member are held together at a common transition region which is created in that both trailing links are joined together simultaneously and evenly with the cross member in a materially connected manner through friction welding. | 04-14-2011 |
20110127744 | DAMPING BUSHING FOR TORSION-BEAM REAR AXLE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A damping bushing is provided for an axle bearing of a trailing arm of a torsion-beam rear axle for a motor vehicle, in particular for an automobile, which includes, but is not limited to a bushing outer sleeve, a bushing inner sleeve, and a damping body. The interposed damping body is disposed coaxially to the bushing outer sleeve and to the bushing inner sleeve between these two elements. The bushing inner sleeve forms a radially outwardly extending spherical surface and the damping bushing has at least one further element that abuts extensively against the spherical surface formed by the bushing inner sleeve. Furthermore, a torsion-beam axle is provided that is fitted with these bushings. | 06-02-2011 |
20120032792 | DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE - A display apparatus is provided for a vehicle that includes, but is not limited to a scale having a plurality of scale values for at least one associated operating parameter of the vehicle, including, but not limited to an indicator for the display of a current operating parameter value. The scaling of the scale is variable and an adaptation of the scaling is made depending on the current operating parameter. | 02-09-2012 |

20080210533 | Connecting Element, Connection and Method for Producing a Connection Between Service Switching Devices - The invention relates to a connector element for two installation breakers, adjacently attached with the broad faces thereof in contact, in particular, power breakers or residual current breakers, the housings of which are each formed from two dished housing pieces. The connector element comprises an approximately cylindrical base body with a first external diameter on the front side of which two radially-sprung, axially projecting first and second expanding arms are moulded. The external contours of the spreader arms lie on a cylindrical outer surface, the external diameter of which is smaller than the first external diameter of the base body. The free ends thereof comprise radially projecting lugs on opposed external lines, which, in the assembly state, clip behind recesses on the housings, for connection by means of the connector element, of adjacent installation breakers. A sprung spreader element is mounted between a first and second spreader arm such that the spreader element supports the sprung spreading of the spreader arms, and which impedes the sprung contact of the first and second spreader arms with each other. | 09-04-2008 |
20090014299 | Service switching device with insulating housing - The disclosure relates to a service switching device with an insulating housing, which has a front-panel side and an opposite fastening side as well as narrow and broad sides connecting the front-panel and the fastening sides, comprising at least one first housing shell and at least one covering part, which are connected by first connecting means, which act on the broad sides of the housing shell and the covering part and hold them together whilst forming a peripheral joining line, the insulating housing comprising accommodating areas for connection terminals in the region of the narrow sides. A second connecting means is provided in the region of a terminal accommodating area and in the region of the narrow side associated therewith, which second connecting means holds the housing shell and the covering part together there at the joining line. | 01-15-2009 |
20090053927 | INSTALLATION CONTROL UNIT WITH A CONNECTING TERMINAL ARRANGEMENT - An installation switch having a housing and a connecting arrangement for a conductor having a terminal shoe. The connecting arrangement includes a socket having an interior, an insertion opening, and an access opening, and a screw having a screw head and a screw shank disposed in the interior of the socket. The screw is actuatable longitudinally between an open and a clamped state. The arrangement further includes a connection plate having a screw hole with threads for threadably engaging the screw when in the clamped state, and a retaining device preventing the screw from being removed when in the open state. The arrangement is configured so that the open state allows the shoe to be inserted into the insertion opening, the clamped state provides the screw being engaged with the shoe, and access to the screw is provided via the access opening of the socket to actuate the screw. | 02-26-2009 |
