20080213037 | Hollow Body Component and Process for Manufacturing Such a Component - A hollow-bodied component, which includes at least two die-cast shell elements (1, 2), is suitable in particular for use as a steering component in motor vehicle running-gear assemblies. The hollow-bodied component has a connection zone (5, 6, 18, 19) configured on the shell elements (1, 2) to be interconnected. One connection zone (5) has one first contact area (7) with an essentially U-shaped cross-section that is located on the respective shell element (1) and the other connection zone has at least one strut-type second contact area (8) that engages in the space in the U-shaped first contact area (7) and that is located on the respective other shell element (2). The connection zones (5, 6, 18, 19) are joined in a force fit in a cold welding process that uses a contact pressure (F | 09-04-2008 |
20080265540 | Guiding Element for a Track Element in a Wheel Suspension of a Vehicle - A guide element for a guideway element in a wheel suspension of a vehicle has one of the elements arranged such that it is connected essentially rigidly to the body and the other element arranged such that it is connected essentially rigidly to the wheel and a plain bearing, which makes possible a displacing motion of the guide element on the guideway element, is formed between these elements. The guide element is guided in a rotatingly movable and/or pivotingly movable manner on the guideway element via a joint arrangement, within which the plain bearing ring is arranged, which is guided with its circular passage opening, adapted to the cross section of the guideway element, on the guideway element. This joint arrangement may be designed as a rubber bushing or as a ball and socket joint. A plurality of sliding rings may be arranged in a so-called ball layer hollow body one on top of another and at least with a section facing the guideway element essentially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the guideway element in a slightly displaceable manner. A guideway extending in a curved shape can thus be embodied. The sliding ring may have an elastomer ring, to which a metal bushing is vulcanized on the outside and to which a plastic sliding ring, which is in contact by its inside with the guideway element, is vulcanized on the inside. | 10-30-2008 |
20090087253 | BALL AND SOCKET JOINT WITH SENSOR DEVICE, PROCESS FOR LOAD MEASUREMENT AND PROCESS FOR WEAR MEASUREMENT - A ball and socket joint, a processes for load measurement and for wear measurement is provided, for example, for an axle system of a motor vehicle. The ball and socket joint has a housing ( | 04-02-2009 |
20090136288 | BALL AND SOCKET JOINT WITH SENSOR DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR WEAR MEASUREMENT - A ball and socket joint is provided for a motor vehicle that has a joint housing ( | 05-28-2009 |
20100052282 | STABILIZER DEVICE WITH WHEELED GUIDE ARM - An anti-roll bar device of an axle of a motor vehicle. The axle has an anti-roll bar ( | 03-04-2010 |
20120146309 | BEARING MECHANISM FOR A TRANSVERSE LEAF SPRING - A bearing mechanism for a transverse leaf spring mounted near a vehicle axle of a vehicle. The bearing mechanism has an outer bearing shell device and insertion devices, which are encompassed by the outer bearing shell device and comprise layer elements of different stiffness. The insertion devices are each disposed between the outer bearing shell device and the transverse leaf spring. First layer elements have a greater stiffness and are positioned between the transverse leaf spring and second layer elements with lower stiffness. The first layer elements are half-shell shaped and convex between end regions and oriented in the axial direction of the transverse leaf spring. The end regions of the first layer elements comprise regions that are concave with respect to the surface of the leaf spring, and free ends of which point away from the surface of the leaf spring. | 06-14-2012 |
20120146310 | BEARING MECHANISM FOR A TRANSVERSE LEAF SPRING - A bearing mechanism for a transverse leaf spring that can be mounted in the region of an axle of a vehicle. The bearing mechanism comprises an outer bearing shell and insertion devices which have at least some regions encompassed by the outer bearing shell, and which each comprise layered elements having different stiffness. When assembled, the insertion devices are disposed between the outer bearing shell and the leaf spring. The leaf spring has a recess into which sections of the insertion devices engage. The recesses are located on opposed top and bottom surfaces of the leaf spring, with respect to a vertical axis of the vehicle. In the mounted state of the leaf spring, the recesses are delimited by top and bottom edge regions that are formed between top, bottom and lateral surfaces, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. | 06-14-2012 |
20120153593 | BEARING MECHANISM FOR A TRANSVERSE LEAF SPRING - A bearing mechanism for a transverse leaf spring that can be mounted in the region of an axle of a vehicle. The bearing mechanism has an outer bearing shell device and insertion devices which are at least partially encompassed by the outer bearing shell device and comprise layer elements with different stiffnesses. In the assembled state, the insertion devices are each disposed between the outer bearing shell device and the transverse leaf spring. In the region of a support surface of the transverse leaf spring, a recess is formed for each of the insertion devices in which the insertion devices engage in a form-locking manner. The insertion devices are each formed in the contact surfaces facing the support surfaces of the transverse leaf spring, having at least one receiving device into which, in the assembled state of the insertion devices, a region of the transverse leaf spring engages. | 06-21-2012 |
20120217726 | TOWING DEVICE FOR A TOWING VEHICLE - A towing device, for a towing vehicle, with a coupling shaft attached to the towing vehicle, a ball head mounted on the coupling shaft so that the ball head can rotate about a vertical axis, which can be coupled to a coupling counterpart of a trailer vehicle, and with an angle-measuring device by which rotation of the ball head about the vertical axis, relative to the coupling shaft, can be determined, and a force-measuring device by which force exerted by the ball head on the coupling shaft in the direction of the vertical axis can be determined. | 08-30-2012 |
20130142997 | FIBRE COMPOSITE PROFILE COMPONENT AND PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION - A process for continuous production of profile components of fiber composite material by a forming chain system, an associated profile component and the chain system for its continuous production. The method draws on the forming chain system having at least one forming chain. Here, preform batch of fiber strands, impregnated with matrix material and/or woven fiber webs, knit webs or nonwoven webs, are brought to the system at the working run of the at least one forming chain and are guided through the forming chain system, forming a continuous profile containing the profile component with a variable cross section over the profile length and/or with a profile longitudinal axis with virtually any desired extent. The profile components can be provided with local reinforcements, add-on parts of inserts, for example, for introducing force, as early as during primary forming. | 06-06-2013 |
