  • Patent number: 8057269
    Abstract: A contact element (10) comprises a spring-elastic carrier strip (11) extending in a longitudinal direction, and a plurality of web elements (17) having deformable feet (18), (19) that are disposed on the carrier strip (11) in the longitudinal carrier strip direction behind each other perpendicular to the carrier strip plane in a resilient manner in order to establish the electric contact between two opposing surfaces. A more compact design is achieved in that the web elements (17) are configured asymmetrically in relation to a center plane (M1) extending in the longitudinal carrier strip direction.

  • Patent number: 7722397
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connector (10) for the detachable connection of a number of cable pairs (97, 98) with a conductor cross-section of more than 10 mm2, in particular, for the supply of the welding current in welding robots, wherein individual contact elements (52, 60), with a conducting connection to the cables (97, 98), may be plugged into an insulated plug housing (11) with a clipping action and are detachably held in the plug housing (11) or terminal housing (12), the clipping action of the contact elements (52, 60) in the housings (11, 12) being achieved by an elastic deformation of the housings (11, 12). Manipulation is facilitated in that the housing (11, 12) is made from a material of such a hardness that the plugging in and exchange of contact elements can be achieved without the use of tools.

  • Patent number: 7678995
    Abstract: A contact device for providing an electrical contact between a first busbar (3) and a second busbar (4) which are arranged substantially parallel to each other, comprises a holder (2) with two sidewalls (21, 22) which extend substantially parallel. Said sidewalls (21, 22) enclose a slot (23) for receiving the second busbar. The sidewalls (21, 22) comprise an inner surface (211, 221) facing the slot (23) and an outer surface (212, 222). One sidewall (21, 22) is adapted to face the first busbar (3) with its outer surface (212, 222) and to face the second busbar (4) with its inner surface (211,221). Said sidewall (21) comprises a contact element (1) for providing an electrical contact through said sidewall (21) from the inner surface (211) to the outer surface (212).

  • Patent number: 7311565
    Abstract: The cable connecting system comprises a contact body (28) having first means on the cable connecting end for producing a releasable electric or mechanical connection to the end of a cable (30) and is more particularly configured as a plug contact for enabling an electrical contact on a contact side. A reliable and reusable electrical and mechanical connection is achieved in said cable connecting system in that the clamping element is configured in the form of a clamping cone (21), the clamping contour (20) has a segment (20a) in which the limiting surface extends approximately parallel to the surface of the cone of the clamping cone (21) and in that the inner width (w) of the clamping sleeve (23) in the area of the clamping contour (20) is smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the clamping cone (21).

  • Patent number: 6547607
    Abstract: In a contact element (10) for electrically connecting two contact pieces (13, 15, 16, 17) opposing each other with contact surfaces (18), wherein the contact element (10) extends along a longitudinal axis (19) and encompasses numerous separate, identical spring-mounted individual elements (12) that are arranged essentially parallel to each other and transverse to the longitudinal axis (19), which are secured to a continuous carrier band (11) extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis (19), and establish the electrical contact between the contact surfaces, a large working area is achieved while keeping current load capacity high by designing the individual elements as interlaced contact bridges (12).
