  • Patent number: 9431755
    Abstract: The invention relates to a current-carrying lead, in particular a connecting lead and a heating tape (5), for a plug connector, which current-carrying lead has at least two strands (49, 50) that are partly surrounded by electrical insulation (47). The current-carrying lead is provided with at least one reservoir (53) for an electrically insulating medium (54). The reservoir (53) is closed by least one plunger (55), by means of which the sealing medium (54) can be forced through at least one outlet nozzle (57) into at least one sealing chamber (58 to 60). The plug connector having a current-carrying lead (3, 5) has a sealing device (36) having a sealing body (66). Said sealing body has an elastically deformable sealing part (71) that can be elastically deformed by means of a wedge-type slider (77). The wedge-type slider (77) has a conical face (82) that interacts with a conical face (76) of the sealing part (71).

  • Patent number: 6576851
    Abstract: A switching device includes two or more switching modules (7, 8, 15) with at least one switch and connection clamps (24), an actuator (16), and a transfer device (39). The transfer device (39) propagates the drive motion initiated by the actuator (16) in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the actuator (16) and transfers the drive motion to at least one switching pin (18, 19) of the switching modules (7, 8, 15). The switching pin (18, 19) is positionable axially at a distance parallel to the axis of the actuator (16).

  • Patent number: 4692570
    Abstract: An electric switch is provided with a support frame at which several key switch elements are individually clipped on. An actuating front piece is attached at the support frame, which is mounted at a front plate of a switching cabinet or the like. A transmission apparatus with a compression spring is provided between a pressure pin of the actuating front piece and a ram of the key switching elements. The compression spring, the ram and the pressure pin are disposed in an inner space of the support frame receiving the key switching elements. The transmission apparatus provides several individual thrust journals which are resting in the base body and which are moved against the force of the individually coordinated overthrow springs for actuating the key switch elements against the ram.
