Title: Christian Halm and a Force-Limiting Motion-Transmission Device.

Introduction

Christian Halm is an inventor associated with Garbsen, Germany, and ZF Luftfahrttechnik GmbH. His recorded patent concerns a device that transmits linear motion while limiting the force applied during adjustment of a wing element.

Latest Patents

Halm is associated with 1 patent: “Device for Transmitting a Linear Motion with Force Limiter.” The invention uses an input part and an output part connected through an uncoupling mechanism. When the applied force exceeds a preset release force, the mechanism permits relative movement between the parts. Prestressed springs absorb energy during this movement and restore the parts to their initial position when the load is removed.

A translation mechanism converts the relative movement into motion that acts on the springs, shaping the device’s force-path characteristic. In the described design, a connecting rod drives a crankshaft with cam discs, which act on a spring-loaded piston that moves longitudinally within the housing.
