| 20090033141 | POWERED MOTOR VEHICLE REAR AXLE OF A TWIST-BEAM AXLE TYPE - A powered motor vehicle rear axle is provided can be coupled with a motor vehicle drive train. The rear axle is configured as twist-beam rear axle with two wheel carrying resistant trailing arms that are elastically linked to the motor vehicle structure and a bending resistant, but torsion flexible cross member. Here each trailing arm swings around at least one swivel axle. In the area of its both ends the cross member is welded to the trailing arms | 02-05-2009 |

| 20090066153 | TORSION-BEAM REAR AXLE OF A VEHICLE - A torsion-beam rear axle of a vehicle, more preferably motor vehicle, is provided with two rigid trailing arms, which with their one end are each mounted on a vehicle body in a manner capable of being swiveled and at the other end of which a wheel carrier is each attached for the rotatable mounting of a vehicle wheel about its wheel center axis, as well as with a torsionally soft cross-tie connecting the two trailing arms with each other. Each wheel carrier, by means of at least three elastic wheel carrier bearings is fixed to the trailing arm when viewed in forward driving direction of the vehicle, at least two wheel carrier bearings are arranged behind the wheel center axis, and at least one wheel carrier bearing is arranged in front of the wheel center axis in such a manner that through the two wheel carrier bearings arranged behind the wheel center axis to define a swivel axis for the swiveling of the wheel carrier relative to the trailing arm. | 03-12-2009 |
| 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 |
