Patent number: 10998656Abstract: An electrical assembly for a motor vehicle transmission includes a printed circuit board (PCB), at least two contact surfaces, at least two contact elements, and a potting compound. The PCB has a component side and the two contact surfaces are arranged on the component side. The contact elements are each electrically connected by a PCB-side first end portion to one of the contact surfaces. The potting compound is arranged on the component side of the PCB, and the contact elements are partly embedded therein. The potting compound directly contacts the contact surfaces and the PCB-side end portions of the contact elements and covers the same. The contact elements protrude from the potting compound by second end portions facing away from the PCB. The electrical assembly includes a chip protection frame that protrudes outward from the potting compound and forms contact chambers for the second end portions of the contact elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Bernd-Guenter Sippel, Peter Zweigle, Helmut Deringer, Franco Zeleny, Uwe Katzenwadel, Jens Hoffmann

Patent number: 10148020Abstract: An electrical assembly includes a first electrical component with a first conductor, a second electrical component with a second conductor, and an accommodating chamber which is formed on the electrical assembly and in which an electrical contact point between the first and second conductors is arranged. The first conductor is arranged in a first insulating part and has at a free conductor end that protrudes from the first insulating part. The second conductor is arranged in a second insulating part and has a free conductor end that protrudes from the second insulating part. The accommodating chamber is partially filled with a potting mass such that the contact point and the free conductor ends are covered by the potting mass and the potting mass is bounded by an inner wall of the accommodating chamber. The inner wall of the accommodating chamber is formed by wall surfaces of the insulating parts.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2014Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Peter Zweigle, Franco Zeleny

Patent number: 6910719Abstract: A connecting device (20) for connecting a connection hose or connection tube to a receiving device includes a tubular connection neck (2), an actuating sleeve (28), and a support sleeve (38). The receiving device, to which the connecting device (20) can be connected, includes at least one detent element, which is actuatable by means of at least one actuating element mounted on the receiving device. The connection neck (2) is connectable to the connection hose or connection tube and has a detent lug (20) or detent groove, which can be brought into engagement with the detent element of the receiving device. The actuating sleeve (28) serves to actuate the actuating element of the receiving device. The support sleeve (38) is braced on the receiving device and is axially displaceable relative to the actuating sleeve (28), prestressing a first spring (44).Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2001Date of Patent: June 28, 2005Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Franco Zeleny, Thomas Raff

Patent number: 6860008Abstract: A method for producing fuel rails, which contain a hollow chamber that communicates with a fuel source via a connection. The fuel rail supplies fuel to a number of injection valves. At least one preassembled unit of an injection valve is integrated into the fuel rail by means of a materially adhesive connection during the production of the fuel rail and an electrical contacting of the individual injection valves is produced at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2002Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Eckhard Bodenhausen, Franco Zeleny, Horst Kirschner

Publication number: 20040000292Abstract: An intake tract for an internal combustion engine, including a number of divided intake line sections corresponding to the number of cylinders in the internal combustion engine. These intake line sections are mountable on the internal combustion engine in the intake area. A fuel distributor and at least one injector supply fuel to the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine. At least one injector unit, the mounting locations thereof as well as fuel supply components and their contacting elements are integrated into a cover element to be joined to a lower-shell-shaped intake manifold section.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2003Publication date: January 1, 2004Applicant: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Eckhard Bodenhausen, Franco Zeleny, Horst Kirschner
