  • Patent number: 4915645
    Abstract: Miniaturized contact spring plug with one or more contact elements having a spring contact area and a cable terminal area with a base web and tab-shaped two-peaked penetration terminal as well as a casing with a cover which are assembled and locked together after insertion of the contact element(s), and after insertion of the flat wire conductor(s) they are brought into a final locking position in which case the penetration terminals penetrate through the cable insulation and establish contact with the flat wire conductors and are locked securely in the cover to the casing while the insulation displacement terminal holds the insulation in a tension relief manner, characterized in that the base web and the lacing web are made of one piece and are aligned vertically in the contact element, and the casing is designed in such a way that it is very small and can be locked together very well.

  • Patent number: 4707050
    Abstract: This invention concerns an extra locking element for a round plug. The round plug has a base part rolled in a cylindrical shape in cross section, connected to a contact area which extends to the front and a prong part or soldered part extending to the rear, optionally with stop spring arms in the contact area. There is least one stop edge in the casing of the cylindrical base part so that the stop edge runs across the longitudinal axis of the plug and projects radially outward beyond the base part.

  • Patent number: 4540234
    Abstract: A round plug socket including a conductor securing portion and a cylindrical spring arm base portion provided with spring arms connected to the front edge of the spring arm base portion, the spring arms being spaced from one another and being bent inward. A plug ring is provided on the front side of the spring arms. The plug ring is embraced by a ring portion of an over-spring which is slit in a longitudinal direction of the round plug socket. Securing members for unreleasably seating the over-spring ring portion on the round plug socket are provided, which preferably also limit the opening of the over-spring to protect against any over-bending of the spring arms during contact thereof with a male plug inserted into the round plug socket.

  • Patent number: 4149137
    Abstract: A flat safety fuse having a carrier plate fabricated from a synthetic material on which is mounted a sheet metal member with at least one fusible arc. The fusible arc has an inner diameter equal to the distance between parallel inner edges of its supporting bases which are each attached to associated contact surfaces separated from each other by a slot. The sheet metal member is received in a recess provided in a surface of the carrier plate. Preferably, the sheet metal member is secured in the recess by pressure arcs and clamping portions provided on the sheet metal member and by raised clamping portions provided on the carrier plate. Preferably, the sheet metal member has a W-shaped configuration to provide two fusible arcs.

  • Patent number: 4145807
    Abstract: A procedure and installation for the manufacture of partial laced wiring harnesses in which each cable is pulled from an independent feeder and fed into a horizontal plane, then gripped at a forward free end. Each cable is then independently transported further in a constant stretch in an axial direction of the wiring harness to obtain a preselected length for each cable, where the cable is preferably arranged in the form of a loop and disposed in a transport installation. The front and rear portion of the preselected length of cable are gripped by members of the transport installation, and the forward free end is released. After cutting the cable to length, the cable is still gripped at the front and the rear portion thereof and is transported further horizontally at right angles to the axial direction of the cable ends. Then, at least one end area of the cable is bared and provided with a connector and thereafter provided with a casing.

  • Patent number: 4104699
    Abstract: A current-distributing arrangement for electrical components includes an electrical circuit board having opposite sides, and conductive paths at one of the sides. A mounting member is mounted at the other of the sides. This mounting member has first wall portions which bound first sockets, and second wall portions which bound second sockets and which are raised relative to the first wall portions in direction away from said one side of the board. Spring contact members each having resilient contact portions are located in the second sockets for receiving electrical components therein with which electrical contact is made. Each spring contact member has a solderable portion connected with the contact portions and extending away from the latter in direction from the other side of the board towards and beyond said one side thereof so that solder contact may be made with the conductive paths only at said one side of the board.

  • Patent number: 4077698
    Abstract: The conductor claw includes a bent bottom section and claw arms outwardly adjoining the bent bottom section at the two sides thereof. The claw arms are bent towards the longitudinal axis of the conductor claw. The end sections of the claw arms are curved. Each claw arm includes intermediate the curved bottom section of the conductor claw and the curved end section of the respective claw arm a straight section which merges tangentially into the respective curved end section. Each claw arm has at the bend therein an inner knee and an outer knee, and each curved end section of the claw arms has an inner curve and an outer curve. The centers of the inner and outer curves of each curved end section are located on a first line spaced from each other a distance corresponding to the thickness of the material of the conductor claw. The first line extends parallel to a second line which passes through both the inner and the outer knee of the respective claw arm.

  • Patent number: 4040713
    Abstract: A one-piece double spring contact has a base portion formed as a substantially tubular flattened element with a mutually parallel upper and lower wall portion and rounded sidewalls. Spring arms extend from the upper and lower walls and a claw portion extends from the lower wall at the end opposite the spring arms. The spring arms and the claw portion are offset in outward direction and a retaining spring arm is formed out of the material of the lower wall portion.
