| 20130327689 | FILTER WITH A BYPASS MECHANISM FOR A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - A reservoir for a hydraulic system includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is adapted to receive an incoming fluid and is formed within an inlet tube that extends into the housing. A filter within the housing, includes a filter element, defining an inner filter chamber, and includes an inlet opening encompassing the inlet tube that extends into the housing. The inlet opening allows the incoming fluid to enter the inner filter chamber for filtration. A base wall around the inlet opening includes a guide step that guides a relative movement between the reservoir and the filter. A relative movement between the filter and the reservoir facilitates the base wall, the guide step, and the inlet tube, to co-operate and establish a bypass route for selectively allowing the incoming fluid to bypass the filter, depending upon a predetermined differential pressure between the inlet and the outlet. | 12-12-2013 |
| 20130327690 | HYDRAULIC FLUID FILTER HAVING A BYPASS VALVE - A fluid filter having a filter basket is described. The filter basket defines a filter interior through a first wall, formed of a filter element, which surrounds the filter interior, and a second wall, located at the bottom of the filter basket, accommodating an inlet to receive a fluid. The second wall includes a bypass channel extending into the filter interior, defining a bypass inlet therein, which in turn includes a bypass valve for routing the fluid to bypass the filter element based on the pressure differential across the filter. Further, the second wall includes at least one collecting pocket where filtered contaminants of the fluid can deposit and accumulate. Here, the bypass inlet extends above the second wall, placing the bypass inlet above the at least one collecting pocket. | 12-12-2013 |
| 20140190288 | ELECTRIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES - An electric power assisted steering system for vehicles is disclosed. The system includes an electric motor drive having a motor housing, a motor shaft, and at least a first bearing and a second bearing for mounting the motor shaft. At least one bearing plate receives one of the first and second bearings and the other of the first and second bearings is fixed in place on the motor housing in a radial direction. The system further includes a worm gear shaft operably connected to the motor shaft so as to be driven by the motor shaft, a worm gear wheel received in a transmission housing, the worm gear shaft meshing with the worm gear wheel, and at least one elastic element elastically coupling the at least one bearing plate to the motor housing such that the motor housing can tilt with respect to the at least one bearing plate. | 07-10-2014 |
| 20140311267 | WORM GEAR - A worm gear has a worm wheel, a drive shaft, and a flexible shaft. The worm wheel meshes with a worm shaft, which is driven by the drive shaft. The flexible shaft can be arranged in the drive shaft with a radial gap between at least a portion of the flexible shaft and the drive shaft. The flexible shaft can be coupled to the drive shaft such that a first spring constant is provided for displacement of the flexible shaft in a radial direction within a first range and a second spring constant is provided for displacement of the flexible shaft in the radial direction within a second range. | 10-23-2014 |
| 20160053841 | BUSHING AND OSCILLATION-DAMPING CONNECTION ARRANGEMENT - A bushing for the oscillation-damping connection of two components such as a vehicle frame or vehicle structure and a steering gear is disclosed. The bushing includes an inner bearing element having first and second ends. An opening extends through the first end of the inner bearing element in a longitudinal direction. The inner bearing element includes a support face on the first end. A resilient member at least partially surrounds the inner bearing member. At least a portion of the resilient member extends below the support face in the longitudinal direction. The bushing also may include an outer bearing element, such that the resilient member is positioned between the inner and outer bearing elements. | 02-25-2016 |
| 20160059882 | SECURING ARRANGEMENT FOR A STEERING GEAR HOUSING - A securing arrangement for a steering gear housing is provided. The securing arrangement includes at least one steering gear securing portion formed on the steering gear housing and at least one bodywork securing portion formed on a bodywork component of a vehicle. Each steering gear securing portion has a steering gear bearing surface and each bodywork securing portion has a bodywork bearing surface configured to support a respective steering gear bearing surface so as to form a respective pair of bearing surfaces when the steering gear housing is arranged on the bodywork component. Each pair of bearing surfaces includes a convex bearing surface and a substantially planar bearing surface. | 03-03-2016 |
