A Crankshaft bearing assembly for supporting a crankshaft for rotation about a crankshaft axis within an engine having an aluminum engine block, the crankshaft bearing assembly including at least one crankshaft bearing divided into a first half and a second half, the first half being integral with the engine block, and the second half being a bearing cap connectable to the engine block. The bearing cap is made of an aluminum alloy having a tensile strength higher than the tensile strength of the engine block.

The invention relates to a plastic charge air tank or coolant tank (5) comprising at least one tie rod (10) that is integrated thereinto and is connected thereto as a single piece or in a fixed manner. The tie rod (10) is provided with at least one continuous hollow space which extends along the longitudinal axis thereof.

At least one of the partition walls (4-10) inside the office has a section (41, 51, 61, 91, 101) which is pivotally connected to the office base structure (1) or one of the boxes (2, 3) so that it can be pivoted about a vertical axis close to the central length axis for the base structure or about a vertical axis close to one of the box length side walls (21, 31) so that it extends parallel to the box latter, allowing the box to be folded away into its retracted position. An orthogonal parallelepiped base structure is mounted on a chassis with wheels and has an opening in each of its two opposing side walls for locating an orthogonal parallelepiped box which is open on the side facing the base structure. Each box can be moved in a linear manner between a retracted position in which the box side wall is next to the base structure side wall and an extended position in which the box side wall is located beyond the base structure side wall. The partition walls extend in the office cross- direction.

The device has a base plate (2) with socket for holding a side wall (4) and fixing means for rollers (5, 6) mounted on assembly plates (20). The socket has a further preferably iron plate (3) which is mounted fixed with the assembly plate on the base plate. The iron plate, assembly plate and base plate can have corresponding holes and grooves for screw fixing.

A saddle bearing liner ( 30 ) for a variable displacement axial piston pump ( 10 ) includes two axially-spaced apart bearing surfaces ( 62, 64 ) with an offset central section ( 54 ) integrally joining them. A hollow projection ( 80 ) extends radially from the convex side of the pressure bearing section ( 50 ) and is received with a recess ( 82 ) of the housing ( 12 ) to locate the liner ( 30 ). The liner ( 30 ) has radially extending ledges ( 70, 72 ) which mate with surfaces ( 74, 76 ) of the housing ( 12 ) to inhibit skewing of the bearing liner ( 30 ) relative to the axis of the bearing surfaces ( 62, 64 ). The projection ( 80 ) is hollow and opens to the bearing surface ( 62 ) so that presurrized fluid from the housing ( 12 ) can be injected between the bearing surface ( 62 ) and the mating surface ( 22 ) of the swashblock ( 20 ). The projection ( 80 ) also prevents the liner ( 30 ) from rotating about the bearing surface axis.

A buckle (10) comprising a decorative outer frame (11) having a circumferential top wall (12) and opposed depending side walls extending rearwardly of the top wall (12). A channel (15) is defined between the depending side walls under the top wall (12). A casted back member is provided with a projection portion which is configured to be received in the channel (15). The outer frame is retained on the casted back member by bending the outer one of the side walls under the projection portion which is received at least in part in the channel (15). The casted back may have a variety of designs and attachments all formed in a single casting.

The device (1) comprises a base (2), carrying a servo motor (3) and attached to the frame of a machine center. A carriage (6) with a vertical shaft (8) on top can be moved on two telescopically arranged rails (4,5) joined horizontally to the base (2). The tool holding elements (16,17) are positioned at the upper end of the shaft (8) and can be fixed with a locking unit (18). A control plate (12) is located at the second rail (5) acting in combination with a guiding roll (10) in order to facilitate a swivel motion of the tool carrier (15).

The invention relates to a drive for a driving rod (1) for a window or door, wherein a toothed wheel (7) which is, for example manually controlled by a hand lever, is rotationally mounted in a housing (4). A driving rod (3) movable along the housing (4) and directly or indirectly interacting with the teeth of the toothed wheel (7) is associated therewith. Abutments (13) extending in a parallel position to the axis of rotation (14) of the toothed wheel (7) are provided in the housing (4) for the hand lever fixing elements. Said housing (4) comprises two housing halves (5,6) in which the toothed wheel (7) bearing is placed. A spacer (8) is arranged between the housing halves (5,6) and comprises the abutments for the hand lever fixing elements and fixing elements connectable to said housing halves (5,6). The aim of said invention is to design a drive for the driving rod drive consisting of individual parts which are easily producible at low cost and mountable without any problem. For this purpose, the housing halves consist of identical plates (5, 6), the spacer (8) is embodied in the form of an angled metal sheet section which is placed between said plates and comprises at least one vertical web (15) which extends along the axis of rotation (14) of the toothed wheel (7) and is associated with said plates (5, 6) for fixing, the spacer (8) length approximately corresponds to the space between the fixing elements, and the abutments (13) are mounted on said spacer.

The invention relates to a gearbox control device comprising an input clutch which is controlled by a clutch release fork (30) and at least two shift actuators (200, 100) which each control two forward gear shifts. The invention is characterised in that the clutch release fork control shaft (50) can be moved by one of the aforementioned actuators.
