  • Patent number: 4886938
    Abstract: Illustrated and described is an arrangement for leading a cable into a housing, preferably a cylindrical housing, for electrical or electronic devices. The housing is provided with a cylindrical housing part made detachably for connection of the connection cable. The housing part is divided into two parts, the lead-in sleeve 4 and a cap 3 covering the electrical connection elements. The cap 3 is connected by means of a connection part 10 to the housing 2 in the interior of which the electronic components are accommodated. The cap 3 is supported by axial portions of the connection part 10 and withdrawable from the latter in axial direction. The arresting is done by means of a spring element 21 which engages into a groove 22 of the connection part 10. Further grooves 26 which are arranged at the periphery of the inner wall 19 of the cap 3 and into which a right parallelepipedic protrusion 27 engages prevent turning of the cap 3 with respect to the housing 2.

  • Patent number: 4657952
    Abstract: Thermoplastic polyamide molding materials containing impact resistance-providing additives, which are reinforced with glass fibers and are colored with dyes and pigments, comprise a mixture of components A and B.Component A comprises glass fiber-containing polyamide and component B comprises polyamide with impact resistance-providing additives and can also contain dyes, pigments, heat and light-stabilizers, as well as processing agents.Due to the separate addition of the glass fibers and the impact resistance-providing additives, pigments, etc. to the polyamide, the conventional reduction in mechanical properties, such as impact resistance and notch toughness, on the addition of all the other components to the polyamide, is surprisingly prevented.

  • Patent number: 4635605
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump of the distributor type is proposed, in which the injection quantity is controlled by controlling the first outlet cross section D of a first relief line and the stroke-offset outlet C of a second relief line for the pump work chamber of the fuel injection pump by means of a control edge that is variable in accordance with load and/or rpm. To attain nonsupply of fuel within the intended supply stroke of the pump piston during idling and at low partial load, communication between the first and second relief lines is provided. The communication exists only for the duration of a predetermined stroke portion (h.sub.e) and is additionally controlled in accordance with load and/or rpm by controlling the following outlet of the second relief line, so that from a predetermined upper load range to full-load operation, the entire fuel quantity pumped by the pump piston over the effective supply stroke does in fact become injected.
