Abstract:
A self-adjusting hydraulic valve tappet arranged in a guide bore of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine and comprising a cup-shaped housing (1) formed by a hollow cylindrical wall (2) closed at one end by an end member (3) against the outside of which a cam abuts, a radial flange (4) provided in the bore of the hollow cylindrical wall (2) at a distance from the end member and guides for longitudinal movement of the hydraulic play compensating element (6) in a bore (5) concentric to the hollow cylindrical wall (2), characterized in that the radial flange (4) is a separate unit made of a material which has a higher thermal expansion coefficient than steel and the radial flange is inserted with its outer surface (7) in liquid-tight manner in the bore of the hollow cylindrical wall (2) and fixed therein.
Abstract:
An inner element for a hydraulic valve clearance compensation element for internal combustion engine comprising a cylindrical element (3) closed on one end and a piston element (5) guided therein for longitudinal displacement and protruding beyond the open end of cylindrical element (3), the piston element (5) having a reduced outer diameter (6) in its protruding portion engaging a radial flange (10) of a restraining element (9) held by a cylindrical collar (13) on the open end of cylindrical element (3), the open end of element (3) having also a reduced outer diameter (7) with an additional diameter reduction in the form of a peripheral groove (8) engaging positively the collar (13) of the restraining element (9) at at least some peripheral points, the restraining element (9) having one projection (11) at at least one peripheral point radially protruding beyond the outer diameter of cylindrical element (3), characterized in that the lengthwise region of collar (13) containing projections (11) engaging radially over the outer diameter of cylindrical element (3) and the lengthwise region of collar (13) engaging peripheral groove (8) of cylindrical element (3) lie axially behind one another without a mutual overlap.
Abstract:
A method of securing a funnel-shaped guide member in the bore wall of the p-shaped casing of a self-adjusting hydraulic tappet for overhead camshaft internal combustion engines comprising first introducing a funnel-shaped guide member (2) into the bore of the cup-shaped casing (1) made of a ferrous material and being initially unhardened, the guide member (2) bearing on a shoulder (9) of the bore and then in any sequence:(a) On that side of the guide member (2) which is opposite the shoulder (9), chiplessly forming material from the bore wall so as to bear sealingly on the guide member (2) and thus to locate the same relatively to the casing (1);(b) Sealing the joint between the cup-shaped casing (1) and the funnel-shaped guide member (2) by welding or soldering.
Abstract:
A novel shaft coupling particularly useful for bottom rollers in spinning machines wherein a shaft is provided at one end with an extension with a reduced diameter for engaging a longitudinal bore in the end of a second shaft, the connection of the two shafts in the area of the longitudinal bore being effected by a screw thread, a roller bearing arranged with its inner race on the shaft extension between the two shafts with the end surfaces of the two shafts bearing firmly on the end surfaces of the inner race.
