Publication number: 20170241582Abstract: Connector assembly, and/or motor-vehicle connector assembly, with at least one connector and at least one media line connected to the connector. The media line is electrically heated, a heat-conducting element being arranged in the transition region between connector and media line. The heat-conducting element extends with a first heat-conducting section into the media line and with a second heat-conducting section into the connector. By means of the electric heating of the media line, the heat-conducting element is heated, and/or indirectly heated, and in particular is heated and/or indirectly heated as far as the region of the connector.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2017Publication date: August 24, 2017Applicant: TI Automotive (Fuldabrück) GmbHInventors: Andre Häckel, Gerd Fischbach, Iris Barthel, Kay Bube, Michael Weissing

Patent number: 9677699Abstract: A coupling, for a fluid line, having a retainer and a coupling body defining a throughbore extending from an inlet opening at a male member reception end which functionally receives a male member. The retainer has a crossbar, with two spaced retainer legs, and at least one locking arm. The retainer is mounted in a moveable manner to the coupling body in radial direction in relation to the throughbore. In a starting position when the male member is not or not fully inserted into the coupling body, one free end of a retainer leg rests upon a blocking surface on the coupling body blocking the retainer from shifting into a locking position, whereby the crossbar is in the starting position, protruding out of the coupling body.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: TI Automotive (Fuldabrück) GmbHInventors: Iris Barthel, Alexander Bol, Hans Jensen

Patent number: 9599079Abstract: A motor vehicle assembly unit having a connector, in particular a quick connector, and having a motor vehicle fluid line, wherein the connector includes an insertion end for inserting the fluid line, wherein there is a securing spike on the insertion end, which is encompassed by an outer sleeve. An annular insertion space for the fluid line or a fluid line end of the fluid line is disposed between the securing spike and the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve is connected to the securing spike by means of at least one break-away element, that breaks when the fluid line is inserted in the annular insertion space, such that the outer sleeve can be slid onto the securing spike, or further slid onto the securing spike from, or with, the fluid line.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: TI Automotive (Fuldabrück) GmbHInventors: Iris Barthel, Alexander Bol, Hans Jensen

Patent number: 9207103Abstract: A quick release coupling for connecting at least two connecting elements of a fluid system for a liquid medium, and comprises a coupling body, defining a flow channel between a first connecting end for the connection of a first connecting element, and a second connecting end. The coupling body includes a sensor chamber separated from the flow channel by a separating wall. At least one sensor is disposed in the sensor chamber, wherein a sensor probe is connected to the sensor, which extends through the separating wall from the sensor such that an end of the sensor probe facing the flow channel is in communication with the flow channel. The coupling body rests against the sensor probe without a seal. The sensor probe is a capillary tube and could be made of glass.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2013Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: TI Automotive (Fuldabrück) GmbHInventor: Hans Jensen

Publication number: 20140197629Abstract: A quick connector for making a releasable connection in a fluid line with a connector body, a male member, a retainer and a verification element. The connector body comprises a through bore, wherein the male member introduced into the through bore is releasably fixable in the through bore by the retainer. The retainer comprises a ring and the verification element has an annular body. The annular body of the verification element can be displaced in an axial direction with respect to the through bore from an initial open position to a verification position when the male member is secured by the retainer in the through bore to place the verification element in a verification and locked position. In one form, the retainer includes lifting arms pivotably attached within coupling openings which cooperate with the coupling projections of the verification element to permit axial translation of the verification element to the verification position when the male member is fully inserted into the through bore.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: TI Automotive (Fuldabrück) GmbHInventors: Iris Barthel, Alexander Bol, Kay Bube, Hans Jensen, Rick Pepe, Albert (Seong-Hwa) Choo
