Patent number: 10044119Abstract: A terminal device includes: a housing having at least one contact cavity; a contact part which is arranged in the at least one contact cavity and into which at least one electrical line can be plugged in order to make electrical contact with the contact part; and at least one busbar which is arranged on the housing, is electrically connected to the contact part, and a busbar portion of which extends along a height line. An end portion adjoins the busbar portion, which end portion extends in an oblique direction at an oblique angle to the height line and can be moved along the height line relative to the contact part.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2015Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: PHOENIX CONTACT GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Wjatscheslaw Janzen, Holger Steinhage, Andrea Goetze, Oliver Pethig

Patent number: 9806440Abstract: A terminal block has an insulator housing, at least two busbars and at least four connection elements, there being at least two connection levels in the insulator housing arranged one over the other. Each connection level has a busbar receptacle chamber for receiving a busbar and two mutually opposite conductor connection chambers on ends of chamber for receiving a respective connection element, the chambers being open on an insulator housing first side for busbar assembly in the chambers and wherein the conductor connection chambers are open on a second side of the insulator housing for assembly of the connection elements in the conductor connection chambers. The insulator housing first side is designed at a right angle to the insulator housing second side to give an busbar assembly insertion direction into a chamber at a right angle to a connection element assembly insertion direction into a conductor connection chamber.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2014Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: PHOENIX CONTACT GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Ralph Hoppmann, Andrea Goetze, Wjatscheslaw Janzen

Patent number: 8084903Abstract: A connector arrangement is provided for supplying electric power to a three-phase motor to produce motor operation in either a delta mode or a star mode, use being made of modular units that are removably mounted within a chamber contained in an outer frame that is secured to the motor housing. A power supply module arranged within the chamber includes a main receptacle containing a stack of terminal blocks having bus bars that transmit to the motor windings three-phase power that is supplied either by external power supply lines that extend into the chamber though openings contained in the side walls of the outer frame, or from an inverter arranged externally of the outer frame. Auxiliary receptacles are removably connected with the external surface of the main receptacle for monitoring the operating condition of the motor, or for controlling a motor operation, such as braking.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Woidmueller Interface GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7563122Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a quick-fastening locking arrangement for locking together a plug member and a socket member, including a locking peg connected with one of the plug and socket members, and a cylindrical locking cam connected with the other member, which locking cam is pivotable through a relatively small angle between locked and unlocked positions relative to the locking peg. The cylindrical locking cam is mounted at one end of the plug member adjacent the socket member for rotation about a transverse axis relative to the collinear axis of the plug and socket members. In one embodiment, the socket member is mounted in an opening contained in a mounting wall to which the locking peg is fastened. In a second embodiment, the locking peg is fastened directly to the socket member.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2007Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Andrea Goetze, Klaus-Dieter Endres, Klaus Steinmetz

Patent number: 7222964Abstract: A method and device for optically stimulating the visual system during static perimetry and for objectively evaluating adequate stimulus-related electrophysiological and/or magnetophysiological quantities. Light stimuli with defined parameters derived from a predetermined correlation function and from the known intensity dependence of the excitation response amplitude are presented to the observer. The excitation responses contained in the ERG and/or in the EEG/MEG are detected and processed. These excitation responses are used to determine and topographically evaluate the local sensitivity of the visual system. In one embodiment, the light sources are fixed inside a perimeter, and the excitation responses are amplified and digitized by a device, which preferably comprises an ERG/EEG measuring system and an A/D converter.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2001Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: Carl Zeiss Meditec AGInventors: Andreas Götze, Günter Henning, Peter Husar, Sebastian Berkes, Klaus Schellhorn, Falk Schlegelmilch
