Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
In a regulating installation for controlling the operating pressure and control pressure of a hydraulic medium of an automatic vehicle transmission which installation includes a regulating slide valve meanS having a piston-like end surface and control edge portions, the regulating slide valve means having the pressure medium supplied thereto for providing in dependence upon the position of the control edge portions at least one of a modulating pressure to an amplifier means and a recycling of the pressure medium, the regulating slide valve means being acted on in one direction by the modulating pressure and in the other direction by diaphragm means operatively connected with the suction pipe vacuum of a vehicle engine, the improvement comprising a bimetallic spring means circumcirculated by the hydraulic medium, said bimetallic spring means having one end fixedly mounted at a part of the regulating installation and having the other end thereof abutting at least within a predetermined temperature range at the regulating slide valve means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
In a regulating installation for controlling the operating pressure and control pressure of a hydraulic medium of an automatic vehicle transmission which installation includes a regulating slide valve meanS having a piston-like end surface and control edge portions, the regulating slide valve means having the pressure medium supplied thereto for providing in dependence upon the position of the control edge portions at least one of a modulating pressure to an amplifier means and a recycling of the pressure medium, the regulating slide valve means being acted on in one direction by the modulating pressure and in the other direction by diaphragm means operatively connected with the suction pipe vacuum of a vehicle engine, the improvement comprising a bimetallic spring means circumcirculated by the hydraulic medium, said bimetallic spring means having one end fixedly mounted at a part of the regulating installation and having the other end thereof abutting at least within a predetermined temperature range at the regulating slide valve means.
