  • Patent number: 10598207
    Abstract: A high-strength screw (2) includes a threaded portion (7) having a thread (8). The screw (2) includes an inner core (16) as seen in cross-section of the screw (2), the core (16) having a first hardness.

  • Patent number: 9145910
    Abstract: A high strength screw (2), especially an ultra high strength screw (2) having a tensile strength Rm of at least 1400 N/mm2, having a bainite structure has a yield ratio of at least 0.95. The screw (2) belongs to the new strength classes 14.10, 15.10, 16.10 or 17.10. The high yield ratio is realized by heat treatment of the screw (2).

  • Patent number: 7878384
    Abstract: An ultrasound welding device for welding metallic conductors for producing a junction point includes two welding surfaces, which are located on opposite sides, and two lateral delimiting surfaces, which extend transverse to the working surfaces and which, together, define a compression space. In order to eliminate longitudinal movement of the conductors during welding, at least one of the lateral delimitation surfaces is additionally structured next to the structured welding surfaces.

  • Patent number: 7600664
    Abstract: The invention concerns an ultrasonic welding device, which is more fully integrated by adjacent components of coupling surface. In order to permit a adequately fixed connection between the components, while, at the same time simplifying the mounting, it is suggested that at least some of the integrated components (30, 34) are structured in their coupling surfaces (40, 42), which lie on top of each another, for the achievement of a form closure.

  • Patent number: 7533791
    Abstract: An arrangement for the welding of cables by means of an ultrasonic welding device with a compression chamber for housing the cables defined by at least sections of a sonotrode transmitting ultrasonic vibrations, a counter electrode and lateral defining elements. In order to guarantee a desired layout for the cables, the components are installed in an insertion space, before closing the compression chamber, the width of which is less than that of the open compression chamber.

  • Patent number: 7392923
    Abstract: An ultrasonic welding machine having a tool in the form of, for example, a sonotrode. In order to allow for an optimal utilization of the working surfaces of the sonotrode, it is proposed to move or mount the sonotrode in a desired position with respect to the element that connects the ultrasonic welding machine to the sonotrode by rotating the sonotrode around its longitudinal axis as well as a transverse axis running perpendicular thereto.

  • Patent number: 7124504
    Abstract: A method and device for making multiple connections between electrical conductors surrounded by external insulators in overlapping flexible cables by ultrasonic welding. Overlapping conductors to be connected are arranged on a surface of a carrier disposed between a sonotrode and an electrode, the sonotrode and electrode are sequentially aligned the with overlapping points to be welded, and the conductors are ultrasonically welded at each of the overlapping points. The carrier either includes the electrode at least in designated areas, or includes penetrations constructed and arranged to receive an electrode in designated areas.
