Patent number: 12492769Abstract: The present invention provides a quick connector made of plastics material for establishing a snapping connection between a tubular male part (50) and female part (40) of a fluid connection system. The connector has retaining means (10) adapted to be set within the mouth portion (41) of the female part (40) and having first and second flexing members (12, 22) for snapping engagement with the male part (50) and the female part (40), respectively. The first and second flexing members (12, 22) are provided at circumferentially spaced portions of the retaining means (10) so that the overall axial dimensioning of the retaining means (10) is reduced.

Patent number: 12451638Abstract: A high current terminal assembly including a conductor terminal arranged to be mounted in an orifice in a housing wall, and a mounting module for mounting the conductor terminal to the housing wall. The mounting module includes a collar configured to abut to a first side of the housing wall surrounding the orifice, and an insertion part inserted into the orifice of the housing wall. A remote end of the insertion part is provided with first snap-fitting structures engaging a second side of the housing wall opposite to the first side of the housing wall, and a first end of the conductor terminal is inserted into an opening of the mounting module such that engagement of first snap-fitting structures with a second side the housing wall is locked by the insertion of the first end of the conductor terminal.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: October 21, 2025Assignee: OETIKER SCHWEIZ AGInventor: Morgan Ryman
