US Patent:

42915910, Sep 29, 1981

Filed:

Mar 21, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/022680

Inventors:

Louis Ross - Des Plaines IL

Assignee:

Borg-Warner Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

F16H 3504
F16H 2114

US Classification:

74650

Abstract:

Motion transmitting apparatus includes a case member, a pair of coaxial shaft members, and a pair of shuttle members. The members rotate about the shaft axis in unison as a differential mechanism, with differential action between the shaft members provided by oscillation and reciprocation of the shuttle members in opposite directions relative to another axis perpendicular to the shaft axis. Grounding the case member causes this opposite oscillation and reciprocation of the shuttle members to provide a reversal of the direction of rotation of the shaft members.

Appl. No.:

5/871285

Assignee:

Borg-Warner Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

F01C 102
F01C 2100
F01C 2112

US Classification:

418 61B

Abstract:

A balanced fluid pressure device of the type including a housing in which a gerotor gear set and a shaft are supported. The gear set includes an externally toothed star gear and an internally toothed ring gear. An eccentric drive mechanism connects the ring gear with the housing so as to establish orbital movement of the ring gear. The star gear orbits within and rotates relative to the ring gear, and is connected with the shaft by another eccentric drive mechanism so as to establish rotational movement of the shaft. The mass and orbit of each gear are such that centrifugal forces developed upon orbiting thereof are substantially equal and opposite, with the result that inertial loading is substantially balanced.

Borg-Warner Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B01D 1900

US Classification:

55 46

Abstract:

A vacuum deaerator for use in a hydraulic system, the vacuum deaerator serving to evolve air out of solution in a hydraulic fluid. The deaerator includes a flow passageway with a flow restricting device at its inlet to induce an initial pressure drop and two discharge ports at its outlet, one for air and the other for hydraulic fluid. A vacuum pump is used to draw fluid through the passageway.

Appl. No.:

5/839089

Inventors:

Assignee:

Borg-Warner Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

F01C 102
F01C 2112

F04C 102

US Classification:

418 61B

Abstract:

A fluid pressure device of the type including a housing in which a gerotor gear set is supported. The gear set includes an externally toothed star gear rotating within an internally toothed ring gear. The housing and ring gear each define complementary but eccentrically oriented races between which balls are contained so as to establish orbital movement of the ring gear. The housing and ring gear define passages communicating through the eccentric drive to supply and exhaust fluid to and from chambers defined between the star and ring gears.

Inventors:

Louis Ross - Addison IL

Assignee:

Borg-Warner Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

F16H 128
F16H 3708

US Classification:

74804

Abstract:

An automotive accessory drive assembly includes a two-member differential which is arranged to provide three-member differential action. The accessories are driven through the differential at low engine speeds, and are driven through a speed-reducing drive train at high engine speeds.

Appl. No.:

5/521820

Inventors:

Louis Ross - Des Plaines IL

Assignee:

Borg-Warner Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

F15B 2104

US Classification:

60464

Abstract:

A cavitation suppressor for use in a hydraulic system, the cavitation suppressor serving to prevent excessive pressure in the system by bypassing hydraulic fluid around a mixing section to reduce the need for aspiration of additional fluid from a reservoir. The cavitation suppressor also prevents dissolved air in the system from coming out of solution. It includes inlet, mixing and outlet sections, and fluid bypass means communicating the inlet section with the outlet section.
