Abstract: The invention relates to an electromechanically switchable form-locking freewheel mechanism for preventing an electromechanical brake from releasing. According to the invention, the freewheel mechanism is embodied in the form of an electric motor in which a pivot angle of the armature is limited, the armature is counterbalanced and has a locking element that cooperates with a gear. The invention permits a compactly designed freewheel mechanism that can be integrated into an electromechanical actuating unit of the electromechanical brake. The counterbalancing of the armature equipped with the locking element prevents external accelerations of the freewheel mechanism of the kind that can occur during driving operation of a motor vehicle from exerting a moment on the armature that could switch off the freewheel mechanism. A method for adjusting the clearance of an electromechanical brake is also provided.

Abstract: A six-speed automatic transmission for a vehicle includes a transmission housing, an input member, an output member, three planetary gearsets for changing a ratio of torque between the input member and the output member, clutch assemblies to selectively couple the input member to predetermined members of the planetary gearsets, and brake assemblies to selectively couple predetermined members of the planetary gearsets to the transmission housing. The transmission achieves an improved gear ratio spacing and, correlatively, enhanced vehicle drivability, performance, and fuel economy, by respectively permanently coupling the planetary carrier of the first gearset with the sun gear of the second gearset, the annulus gears of the first and third gearsets with the planetary carrier of the second gearset, and the output member with both the annulus gear of the second gearset and the planetary carrier of the third gearset.

Abstract: A wide-mouth container (1) has a body and a rim (3) defining an opening for the container, and is made of a material such as PET or PEN. The first step in its manufacture comprises injection moulding a preform (15) which has a rim (3) formed at its mouth and a continuous body-forming portion (120) extending across the preform from the inner periphery (21) of the rim. An injection-moulded handle (90) is then attached to the preform, with the handle having two opposed ends received respectively at different locations around the rim and being pivotable on the rim. The preform can then be stored or transported in this condition. In the final step, the preform after heating is placed in a moulding cavity (61) of a blow moulding apparatus (60) with the preform being located by means of the rim (3). The mould includes a recess (115) around the rim to accommodate the handle (90) attached to the rim (3) during the operation of the blow moulding apparatus. The body-forming portion (120) expands in the cavity to form the side walls (20) and bottom wall (2) of the container. The side wall (20) of the container contacts a skirt (26) forming the outer part of the rim (3), thus forming a box section which serves to retain the handle. The skirt (26) and the interior surface of the ends of the handle (90) adjacent thereto have cooperating detent arrangements which tend to latch the handle on the container in one or more predetermined pivotal positions to assist pouring. The ends of the handle can be received in the rim other than at diametrically-opposed locations, for example at locations which are spaced around the rim by 90 to 175 degrees.

Abstract: A chopper for a particle beam comprises an annular guiding element and an element for controlling the intensity of the particle beam. The control element is supported on the guiding element so that at least one point under consideration on the control element can revolve along the circumference of the guiding element. Mounting along a circumference allows for accommodation of considerably higher disturbance torque than mounting on a rotational axle, using the same bearing force. Furthermore, it is possible to dispense with the entire rotational axle, and the control element can be designed, for example, as a ring. This brings about considerable weight savings as compared to chopper wheels according to the prior art, which accordingly enables higher circumferential speeds and therefore higher modulation frequencies for the particle beam, while at the same time increasing operational safety.
