  • Publication number: 20060121800
    Abstract: A connecting lead for a sensor, in particular for a sensor for determining a physical property of a measured gas, e.g. for determining the temperature or oxygen content in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines, is described, said sensor comprising a sheathing tube, at least two electrical conductors extending in the sheathing tube, and an insulating arrangement that insulates the electrical conductors from one another and from the sheathing tube. To allow the use of unsheathed bare metal wires as electrical conductors, and avoid short circuits on the one hand between the metal wires and on the other hand between the metal wires and the sheathing tube, especially upon bending of the metal tube during installation, the insulating arrangement has a plurality of insulating elements, braced against one another, that have at least two through holes through each of which one electrical conductor is guided.

  • Patent number: 6338397
    Abstract: A device according to the invention for the automatic fixing of bend B of a lining wear indicator, in particular for a motor vehicle brake, comprises a wire that is embedded in a plastic extrusion-coated component. A spacer and an insert are also embedded with the wire in the plastic extrusion-coated component. The procedure of the invention includes laying the wire along the spacer; positioning the spacer 3 with the wire into a hollow cylindrical portion of the insert; and bending the insert. Additionally, the bent insert can be placed in an injection mold; a plastic extrusion coating can be applied to at least part of the insert 4, and the coated, bent lining wear indicator can be removed from the mold.
