  • Patent number: 6671027
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display having a liquid crystal cell (1) has electrical heating formed by an electrically conductive heating layer (3) on a substrate (2). On opposite sides, a clamp (4) forming a busbar in each case reaches over the substrate (2) and bears on the heating layer (3) by a limb (5). For connection to the heating current source, a spring element (7) is arranged between a limb (6) of the clamp (4) and a printed circuit board (8).

  • Patent number: 6433701
    Abstract: An instrument cluster has a rigid printed circuit board (3) on the rear side of a basic (1). On the front side, the basic body (1) is partially covered by a supporting body (10) which is connected in an articulated manner to the basic body (1). A flexible printed circuit board (12) extends over the front side of the basic body (1) and the supporting body (10), the printed circuit board having a connecting region (13) which is deflected by a defined angle with respect to an edge region of the rigid printed circuit board (3) and is connected to this printed circuit board (3) by bow-type soldering (14) for example.

  • Patent number: 6409355
    Abstract: A combination instrument for a motor vehicle, having a front frame and a display panel and a plurality of display instruments and warning lights which are arranged on a printed circuit board and are provided for displaying information on the display panel. The front frame is produced integrally with light shafts which lead from the warning lights to the display panel. In the region of the warning lights, the display panel is formed by a diaphragm screen which is adhesively bonded to the front frame and is produced as a film. The light shafts simultaneously serve as spacers for the printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20020007777
    Abstract: In the case of a pointer instrument having a connecting sleeve (3), that holds an essentially transparent pointer (4), and an illuminating means (10) that radiates directly into a flag (12) of the pointer (4), the connecting sleeve (3) has conductors (17, 18) and contact surfaces (15, 16) of conductive plastic. At its end facing away from the pointer (4), the connecting sleeve (3) has connecting contacts (13, 14) for making contact with a power supply of a circuit board (6). (FIG.

  • Patent number: 6194797
    Abstract: A multipole electric motor having a plurality of pole laminations (8-11) guided from ends of coils (4, 5) to a permanent magnet (13) of a rotor (14), the pole laminations (8-11) are firstly produced as a coherent sheet-metal part, and is partially injection-coated with a plastic. Subsequently, the pole laminations (8-11) are separated from one another by means of a laser beam, for example. This renders the mounting of the pole laminations (8-11) particularly simple.
