Patent number: 11976683Abstract: A tolerance compensation arrangement enables fastening two components with compensation of tolerances between the components. The arrangement includes a base element with a passage opening, an inner thread, an adjusting element with a supporting collar and with a thread sleeve having an outer thread which matches the inner thread. On a first front side of the base element, the adjusting element is screwed into the passage opening and on a second front side of the base element, a holding structure faces away from the adjusting element. The holding structure has at least one locking web and a supporting structure, so that via a lateral or an axial insert opening in the front-sided holding structure, a fastening structure configured with two steps is fastenable friction-fit and form-fit in the holding structure an opening in the front-sided holding structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Böllhoff Verbindungstechnik GmbHInventors: Michaela Mücke, Michael Kahre, Jörn Kleffmann

Patent number: 7063557Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector body that contains an open-topped chamber in which is mounted a stationary, upwardly-directed insulation-severing electrical contact, together with an operating member for displacing an insulated conductor laterally downwardly in the chamber. The operating member includes a flexible intermediate portion that permits the leading end of the operating member to be introduced initially downwardly into the chamber, and subsequently to be diverted upwardly relative to the connector body by a guide surface arranged at the bottom of the chamber. As the leading and trailing ends of the operating member approach their final positions relative to the connector body, the insulation layer of the conductor is severed by knife edges on the stationary contact, and the conductor is brought into electrical engagement contact with the contact.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2005Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co.
