A cargo bike transport carrier for transporting persons includes at least one seat element arranged inside the cargo bike transport carrier. The seat element is fastened via a holding means. According to a preferred embodiment, for ensuring good load transmission, the holding means are configured as a circumferential bracket and connecting bars.

Cargo bike transport carrier

A cargo bike transport carrier for accommodating cargo includes a bottom element, two mutually opposite side walls, a rear wall and a front wall. To allow for an inexpensive and simple manufacture of the cargo bike transport carrier, according to a preferred embodiment, the latter is made up of two plastic parts each constituting half of the transport carrier, wherein the two halves are separated by a vertical parting plane.

A pendulum support is particularly suited for supporting an engine unit. The support has two mutually spaced-apart fixing elements for connecting two bodies that can be displaced in relation to one another. The fixing elements are elastically interconnected. The object is to provide a pendulum support with a high degree of deflection that is cost-effective to produce. The base body has two base body elements, which are interconnected by at least one elastic shear element. At least one of the base body elements is formed with a cavity, wherein one area of the other base body element is contained with a degree of deflection.

The present invention relates to a brush head attachment, in particular for an electric sonic toothbrush, comprising a shank member carrying a bristle bundle, and a coupling member () provided on the fastening-side end of said shank member with at least one connection surface for a drive shaft of said handpiece which, when a brush head attachment is mounted on a handpiece, protrudes into said coupling member (), a spring element that can be operatively connected with said drive shaft for securing said drive shaft to said brush head attachment and/or transferring a drive motion of said drive shaft to said brush head attachment, and a metal ring () disposed in a widened fastening foot () formed by said coupling member (). In this inexpensively manufactured brush head attachment according to the present invention, said metal ring () is a die-cast member.

A hydraulic damping mount has a working chamber and a compensating chamber, which are filled with a hydraulic liquid and separated from each other by an intermediate plate. The working chamber and the compensating chamber are connected to each other via a transfer passage and a bypass channel. The bypass channel can be opened or closed by an actuator. The actuator is configured as a one-piece elastomer part, which has a fastening portion on the edge and an actuating element, which is connected to the fastening portion via a flexible connecting portion.

A pneumatically damping mount, in particular an engine mount for motor vehicles, includes a bearing spring of elastomeric material for supporting a mount core and delimiting a working chamber. The working chamber is filled with a gas, in particular air, and communicates with the ambient atmosphere through a nozzle opening. A progression element of elastomeric material is disposed opposite the bearing spring and delimits the working chamber together with the bearing spring, to enable further deformation of the mount after closing of the working chamber.

A hydraulically damping mount contains a working chamber and a compensation chamber that are filled with a hydraulically damping liquid and are separated by an intermediate plate. The working chamber and the compensation chamber are interconnected by an overflow channel and a bypass channel that can be opened and closed by an actuator that can be electromagnetically actuated in the axial direction. Accordingly, the actuator is embodied as a sliding sleeve in the form of a hollow cylinder defining the bypass channel, and contains a radially protruding armature on its outer side. The armature is received in the compensation chamber. The armature co-operates with an electromagnetic coil received in the intermediate plate, and with a baffle plate for opening or closing the bypass channel. In this way, small regulating forces and a compact structure are produced.

An hydraulic damping mount has an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve for securing thereto a piston of a spring strut (activatable in at least one direction), an elastomeric body and two chambers. The two chambers are interconnected via a gap. The inner sleeve comprises a radially projecting boss separating the two chambers from each other. The connection between the two chambers is configured in accordance with the invention as a gap between the boss and the outer sleeve so that when activated, the fluid flow through the gap is in the direction opposite to the movement of the boss, resulting in a reduction in the stiffness. This simplifies assembly whilst enhancing the stiffness response of the mount. The invention relates furthermore to a mount for supporting a spring strut in making use of such a mount.

A hydraulic damping bush, more particularly in automotive applications, damps loads in a main loading direction. The bush includes an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve, a resilient mounting assembly disposed between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve, as well as at least one end cap connecting the inner sleeve to the outer sleeve. The at least one end cap caps the space enclosed by the inner sleeve and outer sleeve from the environment. Two chambers are provided charged with a hydraulic damping fluid and interconnected via a transfer duct. The main loading direction is oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of the inner sleeve and outer sleeve. The end caps can be formed separate from the resilient mounting assembly. Each of the chambers is defined by the resilient mounting assembly or a component adjoining the latter or by one of the end caps. This permits optimum material compatibility for facilitated production and assembly as well as a modular configuration of the bush.
