  • Patent number: 10328876
    Abstract: An electrical line system for a vehicle, includes a first line arrangement for electrically connecting a first vehicle system to a first controller, a second line arrangement for electrically connecting a second vehicle system to a second controller, and an external sheath which surrounds the first line arrangement and the second line arrangement at least in sections, wherein an isolating medium is arranged within the external sheath, wherein the isolating medium is designed to surround the first line arrangement and the second line arrangement and to keep the line arrangements at a distance from the external sheath in order to reduce a pull-off force when pulling off the external sheath.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10115498
    Abstract: An electric lead contains at least three conductors. Each of conductors has a line which is surrounded by a conductor sheath. Two of the conductors are embodied as signal conductors, and form, with a common partial lead sheath surrounding them, a first partial lead, in particular a signal lead. Another of the conductors is embodied as a power conductor and forms a second partial lead, in particular a power lead. The conductors are surrounded by a separating sleeve, which is in turn surrounded by a common sheath of the electric lead. The lead is characterized in that the partial lead sheath has an inner sheath section and an outer sheath section, and the outer sheath section is harder than the inner sheath section.

  • Patent number: 7422385
    Abstract: A printing paper winding device for enabling winding of printing paper even paper with a base material having a low resistance to bending stresses or printing paper having RFID labels carrying IC chips. Bending stresses are reduced by dividing the movement region of the tension roller into four regions in order to enable the successive detection of the position or posture of the tension roller and by making the bending angle of the printing paper in the winding path close to a more obtuse angle. A winding control unit of the present invention determines whether the tension region where the tension roller is positioned is a first tension region, second tension region, third tension region, or fourth tension region, controls the drive unit to limit the tension roller to a tension region in which winding is possible in the direction such that the bending angle of the printing paper in the winding path, which follows the winding of the printing paper, is close to a more obtuse angle.
