Patent number: 8942532Abstract: The invention relates to a cable gland (1) having a flange (3) and a plug-in part (2) suited for an operational connection to the flange (3). The plug-in part (2) comprises a locking sleeve (4), and a fastener (7) for a connector (8), said fastener being operatively connected to said locking sleeve by way of a control slide (10). The control slide (10) is configured such that a rotation of the locking sleeve (4) around the longitudinal axis (x) of the plug-in part (2) results in an axial displacement of the fastener (7) in a longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2010Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Huber+Suhner AGInventors: Daniel Greub, Michael Lothar Völker, Leo Bollhalder

Publication number: 20130203280Abstract: The invention relates to an interface connector (1) having a socket (3) and a plug part (2) that can be mechanically operationally connected to the socket (3) by means of a locking sleeve (10). The plug part comprises a holder (4) for receiving at least one internal connector (5). The holder (4) is slidably disposed with respect to the locking sleeve (10) and is operationally connected to same by means of a first and a second adjuster (15, 24). When the plug part (2) is mechanically operationally connected to the socket (3), the internal connector (5) is positioned by the first adjuster (15) relative to a connector counterpart (21) disposed on the socket (3). After reaching a defined end position, the internal connector (5) is fixed relative to the connector counterpart (21) by the second adjuster (24).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2011Publication date: August 8, 2013Applicant: Huber+Suhner AGInventors: Daniel Greub, Michael Lothar Völker, Urs Schlaepper
