Patent number: 9748684Abstract: Disclosed is a plug connector for positioning on a mating connector and for producing an electrically conductive connection. The plug connector comprises a guide means and a contact pin. The guide means is configured and positioned such that to produce the electrically conductive connection, contact bars of a contact socket of the mating connector can be guided by means of the guide means toward the contact pin, said contact bars encompassing the contact pin in a frictional engagement to establish electrical contact.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: ITT MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES, LLCInventor: Helmut Singer

Patent number: 7828606Abstract: A plug connector (11, 12), having a body (13, 16) with boreholes containing contacts (14, 15), and a detent (23-26) that protrudes into the boreholes (21, 22) behind a contact collar (65). To make possible the locking insertion of not only thicker and therefore relatively stiff cables but also of such thin cables, for example those that are braided, which due to their relatively small cross section easily buckle when stressed in the sliding longitudinal direction, it is provided that the detent (23-26) can be inserted into the borehole (21, 22) in two successive positions, whereby in the first, preliminary locking position, the deflection resistance of the detent (23, 26) is smaller than it is when bringing the plug contact (14, 13) into the second, and final locking position.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2008Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc.Inventor: Helmut Singer

Publication number: 20090163072Abstract: A plug connector (11, 12, FIG. 1) has insulators (16,26) that hold male or female contacts (13, 14, FIG. 3) received in boreholes (19, 29, FIGS. 4A, 4B)). A rear insulator holds a male or female contact (13, 14), which receives cables (45, 55, FIG. 3). The boreholes (19, 29) form fingers (78, 98, FIGS. 4A and 6) that can be radially spread apart to detachably hold the connector contacts (13, 14) in a preliminary locking manner. The plug connector also has a front insert (60, 80) with a front borehole (65, 85) aligned with the rear boreholes (19, 29) and being able to be placed in a non-detachable preliminary locking position that makes possible the attachment of the connector contacts (13, 14) and in a final locking position that holds the connector contacts (13, 14) in a non-releasable fashion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2008Publication date: June 25, 2009Inventors: Tobias Schimmele-Brell, Andreas Michael Schremmer, Helmut Singer, Gerhard Werder, Andreas Wolfgang Wyderka, Gerald Taxis, Egon Sigle

Patent number: 5491091Abstract: A method is disclosed for disinfecting contact lenses with peroxide whereby the usual peroxide neutralization step is eliminated. This is accomplished by carrying out the disinfecting process at a hydrogen peroxide concentration of about 0.01 to less than 0.5% (w/v). In the preferred embodiment the peroxide is introduced into the system utilizing an effervescent tablet of an alkali metal perborate, percarbonate or persulfate, or urea peroxide.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1992Date of Patent: February 13, 1996Assignee: Schering CorporationInventors: Samuel Loshaek, Helmut Singer

Patent number: 4948110Abstract: Apparatus for selectively guiding printed sheets from the transport channel of a collating machine or the like comprises pairs of cooperating upper and lower clamping plungers which are driven by an arrangement of chains in a manner such that they execute and orbiting movement and are moved into the path on which the printed sheets to be intercepted move, the lower plungers of each pair extending through the transport surface. The pairs of clamping plungers move along a path which possesses a segment which is parallel to the direction of motion of the sheets and a contiguous downstream segment which leads angularly away from the initial motion path of the sheets. The clamping plungers are capable of selective actuation and when in the activated state clamp the printed sheets adjacent the leading and turning edges thereof and thus maintain the alignment thereof.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1989Date of Patent: August 14, 1990Assignee: Kolbus GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Helmut Singer

Patent number: 4620954Abstract: In the particular embodiment described in the specification, a contact lens hydrogel is prepared by copolymerizing 75 parts of N-vinyl pyrrolidone and 23 parts of phenyl ethyl methacrylate together with allyl methacrylate as a crosslinker, t-butyl peroctoate as a thermal initiator and 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone or benzoin methyl ether as a photoinitiator. The mixture is maintained at a temperature of 5.degree. C. and protected from light prior to photopolymerization which is carried out under ultraviolet radiation. The copolymer is then post-cured thermally. Cloudy or hazy hydrogels are avoided by preventing prepolymerization of the mixture.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1985Date of Patent: November 4, 1986Assignee: CIBA Vision Care Corp.Inventors: Helmut Singer, Ellen Bellantoni, Albert R. LeBoeuf
