  • Patent number: 6736682
    Abstract: An electric plug connecting element and an electric plug connecting system. With the use of a complementary plug connecting element, the plug connecting element enables a disconnectable electric plug connection and includes a housing and a cable, which is run into the housing and is held in the same. The cable includes at least one conductor, enveloped by insulation. Each end is located in the housing and belonging to the conductors is insulated and serves as a contact element for direct contact with the assigned contact elements of the complementary plug connecting element in order to save cost and weight.

  • Patent number: 6323425
    Abstract: For the production of a one-piece corrugated jacket pipe of thermoplastic, the corrugated jacket pipe is formed to have corrugated partial sections which are deformed such that the direction in which they lie one above the other radially to the axis of the corrugated pipe is reverse to the direction in the locked condition after insertion of electric lines.

  • Patent number: 6171121
    Abstract: In a battery cable clamp for vehicles with a mounting device for a cable end, in which two clamp parts (2,4) are connected together in an electrically conducting fashion by a pressed connection that can be broken with a high separating force by an auxiliary drive, the pressed connection is composed of a conical contact surface. An explosive capsule (3) may be used to provide the separating forces. A plastic sleeve (18,18′) may be used to control travel of the expelled clamp part and to prevent accidental reengagement. The explosive capsule may be part of the battery clamp (8) or part of the battery lead (5).

  • Patent number: 6144111
    Abstract: In a current interrupter for a battery lead for motor vehicles, with a contact element between the two connecting parts for their electrical connection and with an auxiliary drive for separating the two connecting parts, contact element applies only a transverse force that is directed essentially perpendicularly to the connecting parts. A retaining force which is directed opposite to the action of the auxiliary drive is mainly applied at one point and is spatially separated from the contact element.

  • Patent number: 5877563
    Abstract: A fuse device for a cable in vehicles, includes a current strength sensor having an evaluation circuit connected downstream, and a severing device for the cable. The severing device disconnecting the cable when a current strength exceeds a limiting value. The sensor, evaluation circuit, and severing device are located in a housing in which a section of the cable also runs.

  • Patent number: 5818121
    Abstract: In an on-board wiring system for vehicles has a battery line for connecting a generator with an energy accumulator and a disconnection switch, actuated as a result of an accident, arranged therein. Additional consuming devices are connected to the energy accumulator by way of a consuming device line. The disconnection switch 2 is constructed such that, in addition to the battery line 3, it also interrupts the consuming device line 9 and in the process also disconnects it from the battery line 3.
