  • Patent number: 8591243
    Abstract: A plug for a moisture-protected electrical plug connection has a plug housing having an interior and contact elements secured in the plug housing. Electrical lines extend through the plug housing and are each conductively connected by an electrical connection to one of the contact elements. The electrical lines each have an enveloping insulation. A potting compound fills out the interior of the plug housing. The electrical lines each have a first area without insulation adjoining the electrical connection. An electrically non-conductive spacer is arranged between the first area and the electrical connection. The first area, on a side of the spacer facing away from the electrical connection, is embedded in the potting compound.

  • Publication number: 20120222821
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for turning up a tyre-building part on a tyre-building drum using a roller lever. In order to produce a device for turning up a tyre-building part on a tyre-building drum, by means of which the tyre-building part is turned up without defects, in particular an unintended crease formation in the lateral wall, according to the invention the roller lever (5) comprises a lifting roller (7) on the side thereof directed towards the drum axis (3) of the tyre-building drum (2), opposite which a ramp-shaped component (12) is arranged. As the tyre-building part (1) is turned up, the roller lever (5) is raised by means of the lifting roller (7) to a pre-position, wherein, as the roller lever (5) is lifted to the pre-position, the crimping roller (6) is spaced in such a way that the crimping roller (6) is substantially exclusively in contact with the tyre-building part (1) and the roller rolls along the tyre-building part (6).
