Patent number: 9627781Abstract: A contact element for contacting a contact point formed on a body includes: an element section on the contact point side for a force-locking connection to the contact point, an element section on the connection side for connection to an electrical connection conductor, and an intermediate section which connects the two element sections to one another for compensating for thermal expansions. At least the element sections on the contact point side and on the connection side are made of different integrally bonded materials having material properties which are adapted to the functionality of the corresponding element section.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2012Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Peter Winkler, Rainer Maier, Gregor Jaehnig, Bastian Buchholz, Bernd Rattay, Jens Schneider, Guido Soyez, Joachim Stier, Sebastian Russ, Sascha Klett

Patent number: 8627706Abstract: A gas-measuring probe for determining a physical characteristic of a measuring gas, in particular the concentration of a gas component or the temperature or pressure of the measuring gas, which includes a sensor element accommodated in a housing, at least one connection cable for the sensor element having an electrical conductor, which is enclosed by an insulation sheath and contacts the sensor element, and a cable channel sealing the housing end, which has at least one axial cable feedthrough through which the connection cable is guided out of the housing. To achieve long-lasting sealing at the cable-exit end of the housing even at higher temperatures, the insulation sheath of the connection cable is at least regionally welded to the cable wall of the cable feedthrough. To this end, a tube made of a material that fuses with the insulation sheath and the cable channel when heated is slipped over the cable section of the connection cable lying inside the cable channel.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2013Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Bernhard Wild, Rainer Maier, Gregor Jaehnig, Peter Dettling, Stefan Heinzelmann, Bernd Rattay, Bastian Buchholz, Juergen Moratz
