Filed:

Jun 14, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/881417

Inventors:

Robert L. Phillis - Covington OH
Scott A. Stacey - Dayton OH

Assignee:

Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI

International Classification:

B60G 1700

US Classification:

280 6157, 280 5586

Abstract:

A suspension for a motor vehicle comprises a control arm connected to each of a pair of wheels, a torsion bar, and a height actuator. The torsion bar is connected to each control arm, and is rotatable in first and second directions. The height actuator is connected between the torsion bars, and is operable to lower a sprung mass of the vehicle by rotating the torsion bars in the first directions, and to raise the sprung mass by rotating the torsion bars in the second directions. A roll actuator is also connected between the height actuator and the sprung mass.

Filed:

Nov 30, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/277722

Inventors:

Robert L. Phillis - Covington OH

Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

F16L 3700

US Classification:

285305

Abstract:

A quick connect and disconnect coupling includes a connetor for housing a fluid conduit. The conduit includes a flexible tube terminating in an upset bead. One or more adjoining O-ring seals encircle the tube adjacent the upset bead. The connector includes a plug for receiving the tube. The plug terminates in an end wall adjacent the O-rings. A first chamfer is provided in the plug end wall. A second chamfer is provided in the upset bead adjacent the O-ring seals. During installation and removal of the connector, the O-rings are compressed and forced into the first and second chamfers to retain the O-rings in place on the tube.

International Classification:

F16D 3102
F15B 910

US Classification:

60415

Abstract:

A brake apply system includes a power booster in which, when released and at-rest, a leg of a stop engages a clip and an extension of a valve body engages the clip so that an annular rib of the valve body is axially spaced away from the stop by a distance G. At the same time, a first valve seat is engaged with a first annular valve element closing a pressure supply conduit off from a variable pressure chamber and a second valve seat is spaced away from a second annular valve element by a distance T, opening the variable pressure chamber to an atmospheric pressure chamber. When the power booster is applied, the second valve seat moves the distance T and engages the second annular valve element closing the variable pressure chamber off from the atmospheric pressure chamber and the first valve seat separates from the first annular valve element opening the pressure supply conduit to the variable pressure chamber. The stop moves against the annular rib of the valve body so that when the pushrod is initially released the second annular valve element moves away from the second valve seat a distance equal to G+T. A pressurized air supply communicates with the power booster and includes a compressor and a dryer.
