Patent number: 8969742Abstract: A cable gland including a screw sleeve which can be inserted into a wall or a pipe coupling is provided. A union nut interacts with the screw sleeve, and a clamping insert is acted on by the union nut and is adapted to be pressed against a cable which is to be retained by tightening the union nut. The cable has a reinforcement and a clamping device for clamping a portion of the reinforcement is provided in the cable gland. The clamping device partially engages in the screw sleeve in an axial direction in a use position and is acted on by the union nut outside the screw sleeve. A portion of the clamping device engages in the screw sleeve and acts in an interlocking manner on an inner face of the screw sleeve in the rotation direction in the use position.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Hummel AGInventors: Mario Bartholoma, Fritz Zugel, Volker Gotz, Achim Hoch

Publication number: 20140127933Abstract: The invention relates to a plug-in connector (1) having a receiving sleeve (2) which encloses an insulation for the contacts (4), and a plug-in portion (3) which can be assembled with said sleeve and which also encloses an insulation (5) for counter contacts (6), wherein said plug-in connector can be coupled and attached in the inserted position without requiring a threading having a counter threading or having a counter nut. For this purpose, the outer side of the plug-in portion (3) and the inner side of the receiving sleeve (2) each have a non-round cross section in some regions on a rotating sleeve (7) which is rotatable relative to the receiving sleeve (2). Said non-round cross sections of the plug regions that can be inserted into one another fit together in a form-fit manner in the peripheral direction, and thus enable assembly in the position of use thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2012Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: Hummel AGInventors: Thomas Franke, Fritz Zügel, Sven Rissler, Achim Hoch

Patent number: 7850485Abstract: A plug connector having a housing located at a plate opening in an operating position, and the plug connector contains wires and/or braids of a cable and electrical contacts. Assembly on the plate is realized by a flange plate attached to the outside of the housing having an interior recess with an interior dimension for engaging the housing of the plug connector. The flange plate is constructed as a single piece, and one of the interior recesses has a continuous slot extending to the outside, which slot acts as a clamp slot with the interior dimension of the interior recess being made smaller by narrowing the slot, and an arrangement is provided, by which the flange plate can be pressed in and thus clamped onto the outside of the housing. Preferably, the slot is reduced by at least one clamp screw with locking threads, or a lock nut.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Anton Hummel Verwaltungs - GmbHInventors: Mario Bartholoma, Fritz Zugel, Volker Gotz, Philipp Gerber, Gunter Reich

Publication number: 20100253069Abstract: A connection fitting (1) for cables (23), tubes or the like includes a tensioning element (6) which is inserted into the opening (2) in a wall (3) and latches thereto. A screw sleeve (5) which is connected to a lock (13) is screwed onto the tensioning element (6), wherein the lock (13) engages in the tensioning element (6) in the position of use and locks the latching. Fitting onto the screw sleeve (5) is a union nut (4) which is used to actuate clamping lamellae (25) which are formed on the screw sleeve (5) and clamp the cable (23) or the tube or the like. The screw threads are in the same direction, with the result that, when the union nut is screwed against the tensioning element, the screw sleeve is concomitantly moved and the screw sleeve (5) is screwed against the tensioning element.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2008Publication date: October 7, 2010Applicant: HUMMEL AGInventors: Mario Bartholoma, Fritz Zugel, Volker Gotz, Philipp Gerber

Patent number: 7338087Abstract: A connector fitting for fixing a longitudinal body, for example, a cable, a hose, a pipe, a corrugated hose to a wall opening. The connector fitting includes a chuck, which penetrates the opening and includes slits that extend in an axial direction. The chuck is radially outwardly expandable, in an insertion direction behind the opening into a clamping region containing the slits, and can be tightened on an outer side or in front of the opening of the housing by the thread and a matching tensioning nut, such that the clamping region can be withdrawn into the opening and thus braced against the longitudinal body. The tensioning nut includes an abutment acting in the axial direction and the chuck comprises a counter-abutment adjacent to its thread section, and the counter-abutment exerts pressure on the abutment in a released position of the chuck.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2003Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: Anton Hummel Verwaltungs GmbHInventors: Mario Bartholomä, Fritz Zügel, Volker Götz, Philipp Gerber
