Patent number: 9979104Abstract: A clamp for a male terminal having features for preventing incorrect clamping, which comprises a main body having a ring and two jaws, that are movable toward each other for the ring to hold the terminal. An engagement element is movable in the vertical direction and to act upon the jaws to move them toward each other. A clamping member, operable to move the engagement element comprises a stem and a nut. The stem is fixed to a base body, which is pivotable relative to the main body between a first position, in which the stem is inclined with respect to the vertical and a second position, in which the stem extends in the vertical direction. In the first position, the engagement element prevents the nut from engaging a threaded portion of the stem. In the second position, the threaded portion is adapted to be engaged by the nut.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: MTA S.p.A.Inventor: Antonio Falchetti

Patent number: 9558904Abstract: A fuse comprises two electric contacts with a contact width, a fuse element disposed between two opposed fuse ends and comprising a first fuse having a minimum-section part with a first width and a first section. The fuse element further comprises at least one second fuse disposed between the first fuse and one of said two fuse ends. The second fuse comprises a narrowed part with a second width smaller than the first width and the contact width and with a second section ranging from 20% to 50% of the first section.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: MTA S.P.A.Inventor: Ricardo Luis Gonzàlez Luna

Patent number: 8317549Abstract: A clamp for male terminal comprising a clamping ring capable of inserting on a male terminal, two jaws connected to the clamping ring and mutually approachable to tighten the clamping ring on the male terminal, clamping means acting on the jaws to move them between a distant position and a close position along a clamping direction. The clamping means comprise a clamping member rotating around a clamping axis inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis of the clamping ring. The clamp further comprises guiding means cooperating with a movable jaw to guide the movement of such movable jaw along the clamping direction on said plane, between the distant position and the close position.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: MTA S.p.A.Inventor: Antonio Falchetti

Patent number: 8287319Abstract: A clamp (1) for male terminal comprises a first tightening ring (21), a second tightening ring (31) constrained to the first tightening ring so as to rotate relative thereto about a rotation axis (Z-Z) extending perpendicularly to the axis of the first ring (A-A) so as to be mobile between a loosened position and a tightened position respectively for loosening and tightening the clamp on the male terminal, tightening means (40) actuable for moving the second tightening ring between the loosened position and the tightened position so as to vary the angle comprised between the axes of the two tightening rings (A-A, B-B). In particular, the second tightening ring (31) is shaped so that, in the tightened position, it surrounds at least one portion of the first tightening ring and acts on said portion for determining the tightening of the first ring on the male terminal.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2011Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: MTA S.p.A.Inventor: Antonio Falchetti
