Patents by Inventor Guido Renner

Guido Renner has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8794806
    Abstract: A light module for displaying a signal in a rearview mirror of a motor vehicle includes a circuit carrier, at least one light source disposed on the circuit carrier and a power supply circuit. The power supply circuit is for connecting the circuit carrier to an interface that is disposed at a distance from the circuit carrier and that leads to at least one of a control unit and a current or voltage source. The power supply circuit and circuit carrier are made of the same material, are configured in one piece and are formed by a flexible printed circuit board.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6564450
    Abstract: In a printed circuit board pair, each of the printed circuit boards having a contact region with contact elements, a contact-making system includes a first circuit board having three-dimensionally structured contact elements and a second circuit board also having three-dimensionally structured contact elements structured complementarily with respect to the contact elements of the first circuit board for positioning the two boards together. The contact elements of the first board reciprocally electrically contact the contact elements of the second board. The configuration ensures a high positioning accuracy of the two contact regions with respect to one another. A mask having cutouts for contact elements of the two boards can be provided. Such contact element positioning using the conductor track pattern and being independent of a contact-making housing has the advantage that the positioning accuracy is unaffected by tolerances between the conductor track pattern and the contact-making housing.

  • Patent number: 6431881
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector housing formed of a connector body carrying contact pins and a fixing part. A receiving gap for a foil conductor is formed between the connector body and the fixing part. At least some of the contact pins carry at least one contact element protruding into the receiving gap to make contact with a conductor track of the foil conductor. The fixing part is in the form of a sleeve and receives at least one longitudinal portion of the connector body, in an assembled state. The receiving gap, which is formed by an inner surface of the fixing part and a peripheral surface of the connector body, at least partially encloses the connector body.

  • Publication number: 20010037561
    Abstract: In order, in the context of making contact between two printed circuit boards (2, 4), to ensure a high positioning accuracy of their two contact regions (8) with respect to one another, the two contact regions (8) are three-dimensionally structured complementarily with respect to one another. A mask (12) having cutouts (14) for contact elements (10) of the two printed circuit boards (2, 4) is preferably provided. This positioning using the conductor track pattern and independently of a contact-making housing (26) has the advantage that the positioning accuracy is unaffected by tolerances between the conductor track pattern and the contact-making housing (26).
