Abstract: The invention relates to a device (01, 19, 23) for foaming a viscous material (02), said viscous material (02) being conveyed through a first conveyor pipe (05) using a first conveying means (04) at a first conveying pressure, and a gas (07) being conveyed through a second conveyor pipe (08) at a second conveying pressure, and the second conveyor pipe (08) and the first conveyor pipe (05) becoming conjoined at an opening (15), and a discharge device (17) being provided downstream of the opening (15) so as to allow a pressure-relieving discharge of the mixture (14) made up of viscous material (02) and gas (07), a gas injection valve (09) being arranged at the opening (15), said gas injection valve (09) allowing to inject gas bubbles (25) into the viscous material (02).

Abstract: An electrical terminal that has a mounting portion and an integral conductor clamping portion. The clamping portion includes a base and a pair of walls projecting from the base. Each wall includes two arm portions forming a V-shape. Each arm portion includes a guide surface and a termination surface. The guide surface has a sharpened edge for severing the insulation of a conductor. The guide surface is inclined from this edge in such fashion that the cut insulation is wedged outwardly away from the internal conductor. Contact between the termination surface and the wire portion of the conductor occurs along the entire width of such surface. Opposing walls of the terminal flex laterally outwardly, and the arm portions of each wall flex outwardly at an acute angle, during termination. As a result, the clamping action of the walls and arm portions generates forces having longitudinal and lateral directional components.
