Abstract: A connector assembly (1) comprising a main connector (2) with a contact support (6), and a mating connector (3) that can be mated with the main connector (2), having a contact support (7), wherein the mating connector (3), in the plug-in region, is formed with a chamfer (10) that corresponds to the shape of the main connector (2) such that, during the mating process, the main connector (2) is inserted into the mating connector (3) in a predefined position, wherein the main connector (2) comprises two axially extending springs (8), arranged in opposition in the plug-in direction, and the mating connector (3) comprises two opposing slots (9), or vice versa, wherein a spring (8) corresponds to its respective slot (9), characterized in that the two springs (8) have different lengths.

Abstract: An injection-molded support has a contact chamber adapted to receive a contact partner, a fixed seal part, a movable seal part shiftable relative to the fixed seal between an open position spaced therefrom and a closed position closely juxtaposed therewith, and a break point holding the movable seal part in the open position and frangible for movement of the movable seal part into the closed position. A cable end fitted between the seal parts into the chamber is clamped when the movable seal part is then moved from the open into the closed position with rupturing of the break element and is held in form-fitting clamping engagement of the cable end between the seal parts. Finally the cable end is overmolded with molding compound to the contact body outside the contact chamber while blocking entry of the compound by the seal parts into the contact chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug connector, comprising an injection-molded contact carrier (1) made of plastic and having contact chambers for receiving one contact partner each. Furthermore, a sealing element (2) acting upon, in each case, an outer jacket of at least one cable (5) that is led out of the plug connector, and the end of the electrical conductor thereof is connected to the associated contact partner is provided. The sealing element (2) is formed by plastic processed in an injection molding process, together with the contact carrier (1), wherein the sealing element (2) is injection-molded directly onto the contact carrier (1) at at least one predetermined breaking point, preferably exactly two predetermined breaking points (10).

Abstract: A light for operating rooms includes a light housing (2), several LED illumination modules that are adjustable for focusing purposes, and a unit for focusing the illumination modules. In order to prevent the light from being accidentally moved from the center of gravity on a gimbal mount, the illumination modules encompass a swivel plate (32), which is pivotally mounted on the light housing (2) and is provided with an LED array (34) that is arranged thereon.

Abstract: A brakeshoe having a backing plate formed with a seat recess opening at a face, is provided with a brakeshoe wear sensor held in place by a U-shaped spring clip. The clip is formed with a pair of legs extending generally parallel to each other and spaced so as to fit around the sensor and a front end extending between the legs and joining same together. The legs and front end fit wholly in the seat recess between the sensor and the backing plate and bear on the sensor and backing plate. A bent-out tab projects transversely from each of the legs and bears outside the recess on the face of the backing plate.

Abstract: To guide a double-ended arc tube (8) within an outer bulb (2), a sheet me guide element (17, 17') is secured to a support rod (12) of a holder structure (6a, 6b, 7, 12) extending within the bulb, the sheet metal part (17) having a major surface extending at least approximately transversely to the lamp axis (A) and being formed with an opening (24) fitting around and loosely, resiliently recieving a press seal (10) of the arc discharge tube (8). Preferably, the opening (24) is rectangular, and depending flaps (25, 26) extend from the sides of the opening to resiliently grip the press seal. The flaps may be reduced adjacent their junction with the rim (22, 23) surrounding the opening (24) of the guide element, so that a single guide element can receive different sizes of arc tubes having differently shaped press seals (10, 15).
