Patent number: 9297423Abstract: A stator coupling for the torsionally rigid connection of two components allows radial and axial relative movements within tolerance limits has a base surface (10) with first (18.1, 18.2) and second (28) lugs. The second lugs (28) are positioned at the straight-line edges between the assembly points (26, 42). Bent edges (30, 32) parallel to one respective edge are bent away at least twice, so that a flange (34.1, 34.2, 34.3, 34.4) surface-parallel to the base surface (10) is formed. Two second lugs, are positioned at edges following one another in the peripheral direction, and overlap with mutually facing ends of their flanges and these ends each together form one of a set of second assembly points (42.1, 42.2).Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: SICK STEGMANN GMBHInventors: Marc Beha, Eduard Tabler, Jurgen Girke

Patent number: 6894242Abstract: The rotary light switch for motor vehicles has a housing (10) and an actuating member (14) mounted rotatably. In a peripheral wall (24) of the housing, a cam surface (26) is recessed, which runs in peripheral direction and rises axially facing axially away from the actuating member. A cam follower (22) projects radially from the actuating member (14) and runs up on the cam surface on rotation of the actuating member, bearing only axially on the cam surface and forcing the actuating member (14) to move axially.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2003Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: TRW Automotive Electronics & Components GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Klaus Müller, Jürgen Girke, Karl-Heinz Wohlfahrt

Patent number: 6803531Abstract: The electrical turn/pull switch for vehicle lighting has an operating part (14) that is mounted in a switch housing (12) so as to be rotatable as well as axially movable. The movable contact elements (22, 24, 26) of a contact carrier (20) interact with fixed contact elements (30). The contact elements for the turn switch function (22) and for the axial switch function (24, 26) are integrated on the contact carrier (20). An actuation part (16) entrained by the operating part (14) has cams and/or ramps (18) that engage the movable contact elements (24, 26) and actuate them.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2002Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignee: TRW Automotive Electronics & Components GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Klaus Müller, Jürgen Girke

Patent number: 6680450Abstract: An electric switch has a switch housing, a knob mounted in the housing, a guide gate having latching recesses and arranged inside the switch housing, and a spring-loaded cam follower guided by the guide gate. The switching positions of the switch are defined by interaction of the cam follower with the guide gate and with its latching recesses. The guide gate has damping elements made of elastic material and fitted in the latching recesses.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2002Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: TRW Automotive Electronics & Components GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Hans-Joachim Frohne, Klaus Müller, Jürgen Girke

Patent number: 6396380Abstract: A fuse box for motor vehicles includes a housing that is adapted to contain electrical fuses mounted to a common busbar for connecting one end of the fuses directly to a pole of an electric battery in the vehicle. The housing includes lateral surfaces for providing torsional protection to the fuses against twisting or bending when the nuts holding the fuses in place are tightened. Screening zones are defined in the housing for screening off fusable portions of the fuses so that melted material is prevented from migrating into the housing beyond the screening zone where the melted material may cause damage. Mechanical coding structures are provided in the housing to ensure that only cable terminals having a shape corresponding to the coding structures can be installed in selected regions of the fuse box. This prevents inadvertent misuse of cross-connection of cables having inadequate or excessive current carrying capacity.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1999Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: TRW Automotive Electronics & Components GmbH & Co.
