Abstract:
A transport container for unit goods, such as motorcycles, comprises a plastic base structure forming a base of the container; a plastic cover; columns; and a traction device or system. The columns are borne by the plastic base structure and bear the plastic cover and are connected in a positive lock to the plastic base structure and the plastic cover. The traction device or system tenses the plastic base structure and the plastic cover against the columns.
Abstract:
A piston-and-control rod assembly includes a hollow piston having a skirt; axially spaced, circumferential piston ring grooves provided in the skirt; a radial crown having an inner face; and a bearing block projecting from a central portion of the inner face and having a bearing bore oriented radially to the piston axis. The bearing bore is situated in a zone approximately radially adjacent the piston ring grooves. The assembly further includes a connecting rod having a main connecting rod body; a head portion located at an end of the main connecting rod body and being laterally offset relative thereto in a direction of offset; and a piston pin affixed to the head portion and projecting unilaterally therefrom in a direction opposite to the direction of offset. The piston pin is received in the bearing bore.
Abstract:
An engine piston includes a piston head; a first bearing block forming a one-piece component with the piston head and having a first bearing face; a piston skirt being a component separate from the piston head; a second bearing block forming a one-piece component with the piston skirt and having a second bearing face; and a coupling device for interconnecting the piston head and the piston skirt and for interconnecting the first and second bearing blocks with one another. The first and second bearing faces complement one another to form a bearing for rotatably supporting a connecting rod.
Abstract:
A brake pad backing (1) for a drum brake has a backing surface (2) that receives at least one friction pad (3). At least one opening (4, 4″) arranged inside the backing surface (2) is produced by shaping a material section (5, 5′) of the brake pad backing (1) so that when the friction pad (3) is pressed onto the backing surface (2), the material section (5, 5′), together with the opening (4, 4′), forms an impression cavity (6). The material section (5, 5′) projects from the brake pad backing (1) at one or more prescribed angles α in the pressing direction (7). In addition, a lateral guide (20) to guide the brake pad backing plate (1) in the housing of the brake assembly such as, for example, the brake drum, may be formed by bending or folding the edge (8) of the brake pad backing plate (1). The bent edge (8) is provided on several edge sections (11, 12, 13) of the appertaining lengthwise side (10) of the brake pad backing plate (1) that lie to the side of the backing surface (2) for the friction pad (3).
