Title: Walter Titz: Innovator in Vehicle Technology
Introduction
Walter Titz is a notable inventor based in Auenwald, Germany. He has made significant contributions to vehicle technology, particularly in the areas of brake actuation and omnibus design. With a total of 2 patents, Titz has demonstrated his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
One of Titz's latest patents is an "Apparatus for Brake Actuation." This invention involves a system for actuating a vehicle's brake, specifically a parking brake. The apparatus features an electric motor and a coupling element that is movement-coupled with the motor drive shaft. This coupling element is linearly movable and can connect to a brake tensioning mechanism. The design allows the electric motor to transfer the coupling element from a braking position to a release position. A blocking device ensures that the coupling element is held in place, while a spring energy store is movement-coupled to assist in transferring the coupling element back to the braking position when needed.
Another significant patent is the "Omnibus Suitable for Train Formation." This invention describes an omnibus that can be driven independently and can either be freely steered or guided on tracks. The design includes a front coupling that can be extended or retracted remotely, allowing for coupling operations to be performed without assistance from the driver's position. This innovative approach ensures that the coupling bars between omnibuses are relieved of towing and braking forces, enhancing the overall functionality of the vehicle.
