Turn-Up Device For Making A Molded Body Of An Air Spring For A Vehicle Wheel Suspension For A Lift Axle

View page
US Patent:
7410549, Aug 12, 2008
Filed:
Jul 19, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/184373
Inventors:
Andrew J. Grabarz - Cicero IN, US
Assignee:
BFS Diversified Products, LLC - Indianpolis IN
International Classification:
B29D 30/32
US Classification:
156132, 156402
Abstract:
A turn-up device () for making a molded body of an air spring on a mechanical drum () having expandable end portions (). The device () comprises a support member (), a plurality of turning arms () pivotally mounted to the support member (), and a sleeve () having a plurality of fingers () each provided with a cam surface (). The turning arms (44) are movable between radially outer and inner positions and are biased to the radially inner position. The turning arms () are positioned and sized for insertion into the spaces between the segments of the expandable end portion of the drum (). The support member () is movable towards the end portion () of the drum () relative to the sleeve (). The turning arms () each include a roller () that engages the respective cam surface () of the respective finger () when the turning arm () is in its radially outer position. Upon continued movement of the support member () towards the drum (), the roller () of each turning arm disengages the respective cam surface () of each finger () and releases each turning arm () to its radially inner position by virtue of each turning arm () being biased to its radially inner position.

US Patent:
8231113, Jul 31, 2012
Filed:
Jun 5, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/133578
Inventors:
Andrew Grabarz - Cicero IN, US
Stephen C. Street - Carmel IN, US
Pradipta N. Moulik - Carmel IN, US
Assignee:
Firestone Industrial Products Company, LLC - Indianapolis IN
International Classification:
F16F 9/04
US Classification:
267 6427, 267 6423, 267122, 267124
Abstract:
A cooperative mounting arrangement for an end member or spacer of a gas spring assembly includes a recess formed into one of the end member and the spacer. A projection is provided on or along an associated structural component. The recess receives the projection such that lateral forces acting on the end member of the gas spring assembly can be transferred to the associated structural component.

Turn-Up Device For Making A Molded Body Of An Air Spring For A Vehicle Wheel Suspension Or A Lift Axle

View page
US Patent:
20020180128, Dec 5, 2002
Filed:
May 13, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/144523
Inventors:
Andrew Grabarz - Cicero IN, US
International Classification:
F16F005/00
US Classification:
267/122000
Abstract:
A turn-up device () for making a molded body of an airspring on a mechanical drum having expandable end portions. The device () comprises a support member (), a plurality of turning arms () pivotally mounted to the support member (), and a sleeve () resiliently mounted to the support member (). The turning arms () are movable between radially inner and outer positions and are biased to the radially inner position. The sleeve () is movable relative to the arms () between a position whereat it holds the arms () in the radially outer position and a position whereat it releases the arms () so that they can be biased to the radially inner position. The airspring can be used in a large vehicle wheel suspension (i.e., a bus or a truck) and/or can be used to manipulate the lift axle of, for example, a large dump truck.

F16F 9/05
F16J 1/00
B60G 11/27
US Classification:
267122, 92172
Abstract:
A piston for use in forming a gas spring assembly includes a longitudinally extending axis, a first end wall extending approximately transverse to the axis, and an outer side wall extending longitudinally from adjacent the first end wall. The outer side wall includes a first side wall portion that forms a fully circumferential outer surface and a second side wall portion that forms a partially circumferential outer surface that extends longitudinally beyond the fully circumferential outer surface. A gas spring assembly including such a piston is also included.
