<title><![CDATA[Wheel brake]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7364021.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[The invention relates to a wheel brake for a motor vehicle including an electromechanical actuating device and a hydraulic actuating device, which are redundant. In this way, the likelihood of failure of the wheel brake is reduced. A self-boosting device increases a braking force of the wheel brake, so that an (underpressure) brake booster can be dispensed with. Wheel slip control is possible in a simple way by hydraulic actuation of the wheel brake and superposition of a braking force regulation on the electromechanical actuating device. The wheel brake includes a support member on the side of a friction brake lining opposite a brake body. The support member has two wedge inclines and a flattened middle portion on a side opposite the friction brake lining. The pressure fluid actuating device has a tappet resting on the flattened middle portion.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Device for slowing the movement of a drawer or similar movable member, having releasable locking means]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7364023.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A device ( 15 ) for slowing the movement of a drawer ( 2 ) urged by unidirectional thrust means ( 4 ), including a casing ( 17 ) fixable to a structure (S) and defining a chamber ( 18 ) filled with a viscous fluid, and a rotor ( 31 ). The rotor ( 31 ) includes a disc portion ( 32 ) and a shaft portion ( 33 ) protruding through the lid ( 21 ) of the casing ( 17 ) in such a way as it can be associated with the door ( 2 ). The base surface ( 23 a ) of the chamber ( 18 ) has a recess ( 51 ) operable to house a pivotable arm ( 52 ). The arm ( 52 ) has a pin portion ( 54 ) protruding into the chamber ( 18 ). The lower surface ( 62 ) of the disc portion ( 32 ) of the rotor ( 31 ) has a groove ( 70 ) for engaging the pin portion ( 54 ) of the arm ( 52 ). At one end ( 73 ), the groove ( 70 ) has a cam ( 76 ) dividing it into a return path ( 75 ) and a forward path ( 74 ) for the pin portion ( 54 ) so as to define a locking position for the rotor ( 31 ) in cooperation with the thrust means ( 4 ).]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Spring strut unit for suspension systems of motor vehicles]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7364142.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Spring strut unit for suspension systems of motor vehicles with a fastening connection on the body side and another fastening connection on the wheel side; with a helical spring supported between the body and the wheel; and with a vibration damper installed between the body-side fastening connection and the wheel-side fastening connection. The vibration damper includes a working cylinder, a damping piston attached to a piston rod, damping valves installed in the damping piston, and a compensating space. The helical spring can be pretensioned by a ring-shaped cylinder, which can be actuated by a hydraulic medium. A pump rod is mounted in a permanent axial position in the working cylinder of the vibration damper and cooperates with a cavity in the piston rod to form a pump space. Axial movements of the piston rod cause damping medium to be conveyed through flow connections from one of the working spaces of the working cylinder via the pump space and through a flow connection of the pump rod into the ring-shaped cylinder.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Method and apparatus for manufacturing friction plate]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7364637.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A method for manufacturing a friction plate in which a plurality of frictional material segments are adhered to a substantially annular core plate. The method previously registers the frictional material segments to adhesion positions, and presses the core plate to which adhesive agent is applied and the frictional segments to perform temporary adhesion. Further, an apparatus for manufacturing a friction plate in which a plurality of frictional material segments are adhered to a substantially annular core plate. The apparatus comprises a member for registering the frictional material segments while holding the frictional material segments in a state arranged in the adhesion positions.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Adjustable suspension fork]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7364143.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A suspension front fork includes a lower tube with a closed bottom and an upper tube is movably inserted in the lower tube. Hydraulic oil is filled in the lower tube and has an oil level in the upper tube. A damper assembly is fixedly received in the upper tube and includes a spring and a piston which is biased by the spring and seals a side hole. A control assembly is movably received in the upper tube and includes a damper member which is connected to the adjustment assembly. An adjustment rod extends from the damper member and a lower end of the adjustment rod is movably inserted through the outlet of the damper assembly. A gap is defined between an inner periphery of the outlet and the lower end of the adjustment rod so that a size of the gap can be adjustable by moving the adjustment rod relative to the inner periphery of the outlet to adjust volume of hydraulic oil entering the damper member.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Suspension apparatus of vehicle]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7364000.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[The invention provides a suspension apparatus of a vehicle comprising a base end portion of a swing arm pivotally attached to a vehicle body so as to freely oscillate, and a wheel which is rotatably supported to a leading end portion of the swing arm. A first link is pivotally attached to a portion between the base end portion and the leading end portion of the swing arm. A second link is pivotally attached to a position which is below a pivot point to which the base end portion of the swing arm is pivotally attached in the vehicle body, and the first link and the second link are pivotally attached. One end of a cushion unit is pivotally attached to the vehicle body. Another end of the cushion unit is pivotally attached to one of the first link and the second link, in which the first link or the second link comprises an expandable link. The expandable link is energized in a contracting direction.]]></description>
