Patent number: 8991893Abstract: A profile element for connecting a vehicle pane to a water draining chamber includes a U-shaped snap-in recess formed by a bearing rib and a resilient leg disposed below the bearing rib. At an entrance into the snap-in recess, the bearing rib protrudes downward towards the resilient leg and the resilient leg protrudes upward towards the bearing rib so as to define an engagement aperture into the snap-in recess between an upper-most part of the protrusion of the resilient leg and a lower-most part of the protrusion of the bearing rib. A detent element is disposed in the snap-in recess behind the engagement aperture in an insertion direction of a rib of the water draining chamber.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Elkamet Kunststofftechnik GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Platt, Michael Ortmueller, Daniel Weller

Patent number: 8444205Abstract: A molded component to connect a motor vehicle window with a water box includes a first segment affixable to the vehicle window and a second segment having a detent cavity bounded by a resilient leg and configured to receive a rib of the water box in an insertion direction so as to detachably affix the water box in a frictionally and/or geometrically interlocking manner in the detent cavity. A detent element projects into the detent cavity at an acute angle relative to the insertion direction such that the resilient leg is elastically deformed to a greater extent during an extraction of the rib of the water box from the detent cavity than during an insertion of the rib of the water box into the detent cavity. This facilitates the insertion and presents a greater resistance to the extraction of the rib from the detent cavity.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Elkamet Kunststofftechnik GmbHInventors: Eberhard Flammer, Wolfgang Platt

Publication number: 20110115261Abstract: A contoured structure (10) to connect a vehicle pane (40) to a water draining chamber (50) comprises a first segment (20) affixable to the vehicle pane and a second segment (30) fitted with or subtending a snap-in recess (60) serving to detachably install the water draining chamber (50). Said water draining chamber comprises a rib (51) which is frictionally and/or geometrically interlocking into said recess, furthermore at least one seal (90) that, in the installed position of said water draining chamber, subtends a substantially flat and flush transition between the surfaces of the vehicle pane (40) and of the water draining chamber (50).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2009Publication date: May 19, 2011Applicant: ELKAMET KUNSTSTOFFTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Wolfgang Platt, Michael Ortmüller, Daniel Weller

Publication number: 20110064394Abstract: A heatable liquid container made from plastic material, particularly for holding water/urea mixtures and having an internal cavity and a heating element arranged essentially in the internal cavity of the container, and with at least one connection end, the heating element is braced by a bracing element in at least one bearing area in the internal cavity of the liquid container. The heating element is supported in a horizontally floating manner by the bracing element. The bracing element is an insert part that is at least partially encased in the plastic material by sintering and is made from the same material as the inner wall of the liquid container.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2010Publication date: March 17, 2011Applicant: Elkamet Kunststofftechnik GmbHInventors: Volker Bier, Thomas Prinz

Patent number: 6769700Abstract: A sealing assembly for vehicle windscreens (10) comprises a profiled element (20) to be attached to a lower marginal area (12) of the windscreen. A spring member (25) serves for sealed locking engagement with a snapper fin (16) of a water box cover (14) and has a sealing lip (30), fitting between the bottom edge (13) of the windscreen and the upper edge (18) of the water box cover (14). The sealing lip 30 is substantially flush with external surfaces A and G and is bonded to, or integral with, an inclined surface (22) that projects outwardly from a supporting or wedge-shaped rib (21) and has a resiliently deformable, preferably wedge-shaped curved element which is clamped between, and supported by, the bottom edge (12) of the windscreen and the fin (16). The profiled element (20) and/or the sealing lip (30) can be composite elements which are soft on the outside and hard on the inside. Stiffeners 26 and 26′ increase the elasticity.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2002Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Elkamet Kunststofftechnik GmbHInventors: Michael Ortmüller, Günter Gründel

Patent number: 5921663Abstract: A street light, outdoor light or the like is mounted on a tubular pole or similar vertical holder and has a lamp socket and a bulb. A lampshade to be detachably connected to the lamp socket includes a plastic transparent bulb cover for surrounding the bulb at a given level. The bulb cover has a sharply offset zone with a cross-sectional enlargement at the given level, an upper end with a domelike bulge and a lower edge with one component of a bayonet mount for connection to the lamp socket. A sheet-metal shade ring disposed inside the bulb cover at the given level is nondisplaceably fixed in axial direction in the enlargement. A lamp canopy disposed above the bulb outside the bulb cover has a central opening through which the domelike bulge protrudes and beyond which the domelike bulge extends. A funnel-shaped metal heat shield body is disposed inside the domelike bulge and spaced apart from the bulb cover.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1997Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: Elkamet Kunststofftechnik GmbHInventor: Eberhard Flammer
