Publication number: 20150340802Abstract: A plug connector for a single-core or multi-core electrical line comprises a plug which comprises a plug body having an end face and at least one connector pin projecting from the end face; a coupling which comprises a coupling body having an end face, wherein at least one reception opening is arranged in the end face of the coupling body for plugging in the at least one connector pin of the plug for establishing a connection; an actuable closure for holding the plug body at the coupling body with a connector pin plugged into the reception opening; and at least one sealing element composed of an elastically deformable material for sealing the connection between the plug and the coupling. The at least one sealing element is clamped between the end face of the plug body and the end face of the coupling body while being deformed when the closure holds the plug body at the coupling body.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2015Publication date: November 26, 2015Inventors: Torsten NEUHAUSER, Frank GUTMANN, Olaf MACHUL

Patent number: 7193156Abstract: A cable bushing which is small, simple and cost-effective as possible, having a cable, a housing, through which the cable is led, and which has a radially inwardly extending step at its first end, a first sleeve, which engages around the cable and which has a first section arranged inside the housing. The first sleeve is held by the step in the housing, the first sleeve bearing in a seal-forming fashion against the cable and there being a sealing means between the step in the housing and the fist sleeve. A second sleeve is arranged in the interior of the housing and has a first cylindrical section which engages closely around the cable, the first sleeve having a second section which adjoins an end of the first section which faces the step, said second section bearing on the first section of the first sleeve, and an attachment element by means of which the second sleeve is pressed against the first sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2003Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Endress + Hauser GmbH + Co., KGInventors: Miroslaw Alznauer, Frank Gutmann

Patent number: 6883383Abstract: A pressure measurement device, a receiving tube, in which a pressure sensor element is axially clamped by means of a screw element. Between the screw element and the pressure sensor element, a transmission element is arranged to transmit axial clamping forces. The pressure measurement device exhibits at least one first stop, which is not rotatable relative to the receiving tube, wherein the transmission element exhibits at least one second stop, which is engaged with the at least one first stop, in order to prevent a rotation of the transmission element. In this way, a transmission of torque to the pressure sensor element during assembly is prevented. Preferably the first stop is arranged on a bushing which centers the pressure sensor element in the receiving tube.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2001Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Endress + Hauser GmbH + Co.

Publication number: 20040050169Abstract: A pressure measurement device, a receiving tube 1, in which a pressure sensor element 3 is axially clamped by means of a screw element 7. Between the screw element 7 and the pressure sensor element 3, a transmission element 4 is arranged to transmit the axial clamping forces. The pressure measurement device exhibits at least one first stop 21, which is not rotatable relative to the receiving tube 1, wherein the transmission element exhibits at least one second stop 41, which is engaged with the at least one first stop, in order to prevent a rotation of the transmission element. In this way, a transmission of torque to the pressure sensor element 3 during assembly is prevented. Preferably the first stop 21 is arranged on a bushing 2 which centers the pressure sensor element 3 in the receiving tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2003Publication date: March 18, 2004Inventors: Miroslaw Alznauer, Thomas Uehlin, Frank Gutmann
