Pre-Pressurized adaptive Banjo-Bolt Accumulator Valve For Hydraulic Brake Systems and Method
The Pre-Pressurized adaptive Banjo-Bolt accumulator valve device is provided, the device being configured to be installed in a Banjo bolt equipped-vehicle's brake system. The Pre-Pressurized adaptive Pre-Pressurized adaptive Banjo-Bolt accumulator valve device is provided includes a housing having an internal bore, outer threads, and a passageway extending from the outer surface of the housing to the internal bore, the internal bore containing brake fluid. The Pre-Pressurized adaptive Banjo-Bolt accumulator valve device is provided also includes a cap, adapted to be fastened to the housing and retain a primary seal. The cap defines the chamber therein, the chamber holding an elastomeric adaptive insert. The Primary seal provides a barrier between brake fluid in the brake system, and the elastomeric insert held within the chamber. A secondary o-ring seal is provided to prevent brake fluid leakage should the primary seal fail and entrapment of compressed elastomeric adaptive insert to initiate pre-pressurization of the membrane when the cap is tightened during assembly.

Screw connection device for fluid lines, in particular for motor vehicle fluid lines
A screw connection device for fluid lines having a coupling nut with an interior space and having an internal threading running over the circumference of the interior space, as well as having a connecting element with an external threading. A line end of a fluid line is accommodated in the coupling nut, wherein the line end exhibits an end shape. When the internal threading of the coupling nut is screwed to the external threading of the connecting element, a locating surface disposed in the interior space of the coupling nut is moved toward the back end of the end shape, or vice versa, respectively. A spring element is disposed between the locating surface and the back end of the end shape, running over the circumference of the fluid line.
Vehicle provided with leaning-capable vehicle-body frame and two front wheels
A vehicle includes a restrictor that prevents movement of a brake controlling operation transmission member and is provided at an upper portion of at least one of an upper cross portion, a right side portion, and a left side portion. The brake controlling operation transmission member includes a leaning-associated deforming portion that is located between a brake controller and the restrictor to deform in response to the leaning of a body frame and a wheel-turning-associated deforming portion at least a portion of which is located between the leaning-associated deforming portion and a brake device to deform in response to the turning of a right front wheel and a left front wheel.
AIR BRAKE HOSE SUPPORT BRACKET
A railway car air brake hose support bracket has an upper portion with first and second attachment members, a lower portion and an air hose connector. The first attachment member enters into and engages a portion of an accessible compartment of an uncoupling mechanism housing below the coupler head, and the second attachment member is secured to an air brake hose support lug of the railway car coupler. The air brake hose connector engages an air brake hose assembly and suspends this hose assembly from the railway coupler at a predetermined distance above the rail bed. A method of installing the hose support bracket includes positioning the first and second attachment members, securing them in place, and attaching one or more railway brake hose units to the air hose connector, either before or after this positioning and securing of the upper portion of the bracket.
Valve device adaptable for brake control of a variety of pressure medium-operated vehicle brake systems
A valve device for brake control of a different pressure medium-operated vehicle brake systems comprises a housing that has pressure medium ducts. A relay valve provides a pneumatic control pressure, which is fed to the relay valve via at least one of the pressure medium ducts at a higher flow rate. At least one insert is pneumatically connected to at least two of the pressure medium ducts, which can be pneumatically connected to each other by the insert. The two pressure medium ducts define a pressure medium path, the profile of which differs based on the housing that is in each case selected and/or switched based on the selected insert. The housing is selected from a set of housings having different pressure medium ducts, in particular bores, but which are otherwise essentially similar. The insert is selected from a set of different inserts.

DEVICE FOR A HYDRAULIC ACTUATING SYSTEM
A device for a hydraulic actuating system, e.g., a motor vehicle brake, a clutch or a gear selector, may include the following components arranged in one housing, forming a main module: at least one pressure supply device driven by an electric motor drive, and a valve arrangement comprising at least one solenoid valve. The device may further include an electrical control unit (ECU) and valve output stages and sensors. The main module may be electrically and/or hydraulically connected to at least one further system component, which system component may include an actuating device and a travel simulator.
Retaining assembly
A retaining assembly for fixing a flange part, which is provided on a braking device, to a firewall of a motor vehicle, the firewall separating an engine chamber from a vehicle interior. A retaining plate is secured to the firewall face facing the engine chamber, and the flange part and the retaining plate are engaged with each other by both a form-fitting as well as force-fitting connection.
SWIVEL COUPLING AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES AND KITS UTILIZING THE SAME
A swivel coupling assembly includes a first annular member having at least one annular barb, a shoulder and at least one annular groove containing a seal. There is a first bearing surface and a second bearing surface either side of the annular groove. The first and second bearing surfaces have a width equal to or greater than a width of the annular groove. There is a second annular member having an inner surface defining a bore configured to receive the first annular member. When joined, the shoulder of the first annular member frictionally engages the bore of the second annular, thereby allowing rotation. The seal engages with and seals the bore at a location between the ends of the second member. and spaced by a distance of at least the width of the first and second bearing surfaces from the shoulder and the second opening, respectively.
