Publication number: 20050127616Abstract: The invention pertains to a flange gasket that consists of a bottom plate and a peripheral collar integrally formed thereon and is arranged between opposing sealing surfaces, namely between a housing that is provided with a flange and a mounting plate. The invention proposes to at least sectionally form pockets on the peripheral collar in order to attach the flange gasket to the flange in a captive fashion. Sealing lips are provided in openings in the flange gasket and aligned with the through-openings of the flange and the mounting plate, wherein said sealing lips initially hold the fixing screws inserted therein and seal the through-openings against environmental influences when the screws are tightened.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2004Publication date: June 16, 2005Inventors: Ullrich Dorniok, Frank Quast, Hartmut Schwettmann

Patent number: 6716041Abstract: For connecting the cable shielding in screened electric cables in the case of a round plug connection, it is proposed that, for the purpose of making contact with the cable shield, a contact element is provided which is disposed between an insulating pressing/clamping part and an insulating body, an aperture through which the cable shield can be introduced being provided in the said contact element. Under these circumstances, the contact element is shaped in such a way that connection of the cable shield to a counterplug can take place by means of a contact part which is to be provided inside the plug connector housing, or by means of the electrically conductive outer cover of the plug connector, or via both methods.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2003Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Harting Electric GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6688922Abstract: A plug connector comprises a first insulating body, at least one connection contact which is arranged in the first insulating body and is provided for being connected with a conductor, a second insulating body and at least one plug-in contact which is arranged in the second insulating body and is provided for being connected with a complementary plug connector. The plug-in contact and the connection contact are connected with each other in an electrically conductive manner by a plug connection. The plug connection is formed by two elastic tabs provided on one of the contacts and cooperating with the other of the contacts. A method for mounting a plug connector comprises the following steps: First, at least one connection contact is arranged in a first insulating body. Then, at least one plug-in contact is arranged in a second insulating body. Finally, the plug-in contact and the connection contact are inserted into each other.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2001Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: Harting KGaAInventors: Stephan Schreier, Hartmut Schwettmann
