Patent number: 7975562Abstract: A belt force measuring device with a measuring spring, the displacement thereof being a measurement for the belt force, and with a transmitter, being assigned to the measuring spring, and with a sensor element, being also assigned to the measuring spring, wherein the displacement of measuring spring, effects a change of position of the sensor element in relation to the transmitter. The change of position is detected by the sensor element as measurement for the belt force and the belt force measuring device further has a first connecting element, connecting the measuring spring with a belt lock or a first belt section and a second connecting element, connecting the measuring spring, with a motor vehicle body or with a component of the motor vehicle body or a second belt section. To provide a belt force measuring device, being produced simply and cost effectively, the measuring spring, the first connecting element and the second connecting element are designated as a single-piece component.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2007Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventor: Harry Skarpil

Patent number: 7772490Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical device (1), especially for a motor vehicle. Said device comprises an electrical component (2) and a connecting cable (5) which is connected to the component (2) and is surrounded by a sheathing (8), the end (9) of said sheathing being at a distance from the component (2). The sheath end (9) and the respectively connected regions (13, 14) of the sheathing (8) and the connecting cable (5) comprise a sealing coating (16). The aim of the invention is to improve the sealing and to increase the durability thereof. To this end, another section (10) of the sheathing (8), embodied in a sleeve-shaped manner, is arranged between the sheath end (9) and the component (2), and the coating (16) extends over a sleeve end (11) facing the sheath end (9) and over the region (17) of the sleeve-shaped section (10) of the sheathing (8) connected thereto. The invention also relates to a method for producing one such device.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2006Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Siemens VDO Automotive AGInventor: Harry Skarpil

Patent number: 7463019Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting the movement of a movable component, the device having an inner part 1 and the inner part 1 having a housing in which are mounted conductors 3 that carry electrical components 4 and a sensor element. One end of each conductor 3 protrudes from the inner part 1 forming plug contacts 6, and the inner part 1 is encapsulated by a plastic housing 2 in such a way that the plug contacts 6 project into a plug receiver 5 in the plastic housing. The electrical components 4 and the sensor element are covered by covers and encapsulated by the plastic housing 2. The covers protect the components from the plastic in the encapsulation process.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2005Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Dirk Kaltenbach, Harry Skarpil
