Patent number: 9033735Abstract: A contact plug for direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces is provided on both sides of a circuit board. The contact plug includes two flexibly interconnected contact carriers, which form, between each other, a plug receptacle for the circuit board and each have at least one contact element extending into the plug receptacle. A spring is provided whose two free spring legs engage over the two contact carriers i the insertion direction of the contact plug and bias them in the direction of each other. A control channel, which is formed between the two contact carriers nd laterally adjacent to the plug receptacle and, in cooperation with a control wedge provided on the circuit board, pivots the two contact carriers open in opposition to the action of the spring upon insertion of the circuit board. A seal seals the two contact carriers in a mating contact plug on the reverse side. The two free spring legs of the springengage over the two contact carriers in the insertion direction of the contact plug.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Timo Gaiser, Michael Schoenfeld, Lars Berger, Michael Fleig

Patent number: 8636530Abstract: A contacting plug for contacting a contact carrier, in particular a circuit board, having two clamping claws able to be pivoted relative to each other, transversely to a plug-in direction, at least one of which is implemented as contact holder carrying at least one flexible contact element, which contact holder is implemented with a contact force for resting on the contact carrier, and a spring arrangement for generating a clamping force that is independent of the contact force. According to the invention, the spring arrangement is designed for bracing exclusively on the contacting plug for generating the clamping force.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2009Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Schoenfeld, Wolfgang Pade, Hartmut Buschle, Michael Fleig, Achim Puettner

Patent number: 8398423Abstract: A contacting plug for contacting a contract carrier, in particular a circuit board, includes two clamping claws able to be swiveled relative to each other, transversely to a plug-in direction, at least one of the clamping claws being implemented as contact holder carrying at least one flexible contact element, which contact holder is designed to rest on the contact carrier with a contact force and has spring devices for generating a clamping force which is independent of the contact force. The clamping claws have at least one stop face in each case, which rest against each other in the non-contacting state of the contacting plug and thereby prevent plastic deformation of the contact element.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2009Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Andreas Simmel, Wolfgang Pade, Michael Schoenfeld, Michael Fleig

Patent number: 8322629Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel injector in which at least one electrically triggered valve is disposed inside an injector member and is connected to an externally accessible injector member contact by means of a solid conductor, the solid conductor and the electrical valve contact being interconnected directly via an electrically conducting positive connection or indirectly via an electrically conducting connecting element. The solid conductor is configured so as to substantially maintain the shape thereof under the influence of the proper weight thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2005Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Michael Fleig

Publication number: 20110300737Abstract: A contacting plug for contacting a contact carrier having two, at least approximately parallel surface sides, in particular a circuit board, two clamping claws able to be pivoted relative to each other, transversely to a plug-in direction, at least one of which is implemented as contact holder carrying at least one flexible contact element, which contact holder is designed to rest on the contact carrier with a contact force, and a spring for generating a clamping force which is independent of the contact force. An arrangement for the automatic parallelization of the clamping claws are provided, especially of contact surfaces of the clamping claws, with the surface sides of the contact carrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2009Publication date: December 8, 2011Inventors: Andreas Simmel, Michael Schoenfeld, Michael Fleig

Patent number: 7770824Abstract: A fuel injector is disclosed in which at least one electrically-controlled valve is arranged within an injector body and is connected to an injector body contact which is accessible from outside the injector body by at least one solid conductor having an essentially stable form under the influence of its intrinsic weight. The at least one solid conductor is run through at least one conductor channel and at least one alignment sleeve which may be completely or partly inserted in the at least one conductor channel and forces the at least one solid conductor completely or partly to adopt a given inclination to the injector axis and hence aligns the same.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2005Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Juergen Frasch, Christoph Butscher, Michael Fleig, Stephan Wehr

Patent number: 7571715Abstract: A fuel injector with an injector body is disclosed which has at least two separate function units that are largely independent of one another. The function units are reversibly joined to one another by a connecting element and at least one positioning pin. The two function units can be produced and tested separately, which greatly simplifies both the production process and maintenance of the fuel injectors and lessens the vulnerability of the fuel injectors to malfunction.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2005Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Juergen Frasch, Christoph Butscher, Michael Fleig, Stephan Wehr
