Patent number: 7504606Abstract: An apparatus for separating fluid flows in a heating device, particularly for heating the interior of a motor vehicle is proposed, the heating device having at least one heater equipped with a plurality of lamellar heat emission or delivery elements. In order to ensure an easy, inexpensive separation of several fluid flows and in particular also downstream of the heater equipped with the lamellar heat emission elements, according to the invention a substantially plate-shaped separator is provided having an opening with a contour adapted for the pushing of the separator onto the heater equipped with the lamellar heat emission elements. The invention also relates to a method for separating several fluid flows in a heating device of the aforementioned type.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2005Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignees: Eichenauer Heizelemente GmbH & Co. KG, Beru AGInventors: Andreas Hamburger, Christian Dörrie

Patent number: 7332693Abstract: Functional elements, particularly PTC heating elements, are braced in a hollow reception means, such as a profile tube. The reception means have two at least partly concave top wall areas facing one anther and flat sides of the functional elements and in this way permits a bracing of the functional elements, in that side walls of the reception means, extending substantially perpendicular to the concave top wall areas, are subject to the action of a pressing pressure. In the free space areas defined by the concave top walls can be fitted ends of attachment parts, such as metal lamellas, which are clamped in the same operation, according to the invention, during the bracing of the functional elements. This makes it possible in a simple manner to manufacture assembled devices, particularly electric heating devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignees: Eichenauer Heizelemente GmbH & Co. KG, Beru AGInventor: Andreas Hamburger

Patent number: 5823834Abstract: A flat plug includes a base body having a first and a second end, a terminal part integrally connected to the first end of the base body, and a contact blade having two blade halves integrally connected to the second end of the base body. The two blade halves have a broad side, an outer contour and a longitudinal axis. The blade halves are mutually symmetrical about the longitudinal axis with respect to the outer contour. Additionally, the broad side of the two blade halves rest flat against one another in a folded state, whereas the two blade halves are spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal axis in an unfolded state.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1996Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin Straeb, Andreas Hamburger
