  • Patent number: 11705597
    Abstract: An energy storage unit mounting facility, having a basic body, which defines multiple mounting regions arranged vertically on top of one another for at least one electric energy storage unit. The electric energy storage unit is introducible into the mounting region in the horizontal direction and removable from the mounting region in the horizontal direction. Securing devices are provided to secure the electric energy storage unit in the mounting region.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11090920
    Abstract: A continuous strip method for producing an electric strip laminate which is wound into a coil is proposed in which at least two electric strips are pressed against each other on their flat sides and are integrally bonded to form an electric strip laminate and in a further step, this electric strip laminate is wound into a coil. More particularly, a first electric strip is coated on at least one of its flat sides with a first thermally activatable hot melt adhesive lacquer, the first hot melt adhesive lacquer on the first electric strip is thermally activated, and then the electric strips are pressed against each other on their flat sides with the activated first hot melt adhesive lacquer layer between these flat sides and a second electric strip is supplied to this pressing process at a temperature below the activation temperature of the first hot melt adhesive lacquer layer on the first electric strip.

  • Patent number: 10755842
    Abstract: A method for producing an electric strip laminate wound into a coil is disclosed, in which at least two metallic electric strips that are electrically insulated from each other are integrally bonded to form an electric strip laminate and in another step, are wound into a coil. In order to ensure a reproducible method, the invention proposes that the electrical strips, which are each electrically insulated on at least one flat side with a baked enamel layer, be joined to each other by means of baked enamel layers facing each other and be integrally bonded to form an electric strip laminate by activating the chemical cross-linking of the two baked enamel layers.
