Pump Housing, in Block Form, of a Vehicle Brake System, and Method for Producing the Same

Abstract

In a pump housing, in block form, of a vehicle brake system, having a top side which is manufactured to final dimensions and a bottom side which is manufactured to final dimensions, the final dimensions of the top side and of the bottom side are obtained by means of a non-cutting deformation process starting from a blank.

1 - 5 . (canceled) 
     
     
         6 . A process for producing a block-form pump housing of a vehicle brake system, comprising:
 manufacturing a top side of the block-form pump housing to first dimensions from a blank by a non-cutting forming process   manufacturing a bottom side of the block-form pump housing to second dimensions from the blank by the non-cutting forming process.   
     
     
         7 . The process as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 pressing the blank with rollers to manufacture the top side to the first dimensions and the bottom side to the second dimensions.   
     
     
         8 . The process as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 producing the blank using an extrusion process.   
     
     
         9 . The process as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 producing the first dimensions of the top side and the second dimensions of the bottom side to a tolerance of less than 0.1 mm.   
     
     
         10 . The process as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 applying a surface protection to the block-form pump housing after the non-cutting forming process.   
     
     
         11 . A process for producing block-form pump housings of for vehicle brake systems, comprising:
 preparing, with an extrusion process, a blank which is formed as a strand;   producing final dimensions of a top side and a bottom side of the blank using a non-cutting forming process, wherein a thickness dimension of the blank is determined with the final dimensions of the top side and the bottom side to enable openings to be formed in the top side and the bottom side; and   after producing the final dimensions, sawing the blank into individual blocks.   
     
     
         12 . The process as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the non-cutting forming process includes pressing the blank with rollers. 
     
     
         13 . The process as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the producing of the final dimensions includes producing the final dimensions of the top side and the bottom side of the blank to a tolerance of less than 0.1 mm. 
     
     
         14 . The process as claimed in  claim 11 , further comprising:
 applying a surface protection to one of the blank and the individual blocks after the non-cutting forming process.   
     
     
         15 . The process as claimed in  claim 11 , further comprising:
 forming the openings in the top side and the bottom side of the individual blocks.
