Patent number: 8196970Abstract: A connector device having a housing part and a clamping ring arranged in the receiving hole and cooperating with an inner cone of the housing part to lock a plugged-in media conduit. An inner insertion piece is removably connected to a base piece and provided with the inner cone. The insertion piece has at least two radially elastic spring arms to enable removal of the conduit. Radially outward-protruding catching extensions of the spring arms engage catching holes for detaching purposes. A contamination seal is disposed in the region of free ends of the spring arms to circumferentially rest upon the media conduit. The catching extensions are disconnected from the sealing area via a deformation zone so that the radial detaching movement of the catching extensions is performed without being influenced by the contamination seal because the deformation zone is deformed.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2006Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Voss Automotive GmbHInventors: Josef Brandt, Harald Hagen, Martin Lechner, Norbert Terlau, Günter Sieper

Patent number: 7258371Abstract: A connection system for conduits, fittings or assemblies which are intended for carrying a fluid acted upon by a pressure (p1), in particular for systems carrying carbon dioxide. The connection system comprises a first coupling part such as a housing part, a second coupling part such as a plug part, and is capable of being introduced into the first coupling part along an axis. At least one gas-permeable circumferential seal is arranged in a groove in one of the two coupling parts. One coupling part is capable of being plugged with a shank into a round receiving orifice of the other coupling part. After plugging-in, the circumferential seal seals off a gap between the outer radius of the shank and the inner radius of the receiving orifice.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2004Date of Patent: August 21, 2007Assignee: Voss Automotive GmbHInventors: Harald Hagen, Martin Hoffmann, Jörg Westmeier, Volker Kaminski, Norbert Terlau, Olav Borgmeier, Reiner Mitterer
