  • Patent number: 10797458
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a plug, having a plastic injection-molded encapsulation, for a fuel pump which arranged in a fuel tank of a motor vehicle. The plug has cables, stranded wires and a ground contact each protruding out of the encapsulation and each connected to encapsulated components. The plug elements and coils are inserted into a base plate. One core of a cable is soldered, welded or crimped to flat plug elements. The coils and stranded wires are each soldered, welded or crimped to a flat plug element. The base plate is inserted into a cavity of an injection mold, such that the cables and the stranded wires protrude out of the cavity through first passage openings and second passage openings, respectively, and cores are arranged in continuous openings of identical cross section in the wall of the injection mold. The cavity is then filled with a plastic.

  • Publication number: 20090166287
    Abstract: Presented is a fuel filter that includes a filter fabric and a plastic support body. The plastic support body includes a pump connection stub, and a first filter part that includes a first surface and a first peripheral edge that accommodates the filter fabric. The first surface faces away from the filter fabric. The plastic support body further includes a second filter part that includes a second surface and a second peripheral edge that accommodates the filter fabric. The second surface faces away from the filter fabric. The plastic support body further includes connecting elements disposed on the first and second filter parts. When the first filter part and the second filter part are joined, the connecting elements interact with each other and the first surface contacts the second surface.

  • Publication number: 20050150294
    Abstract: A level sensor (2) comprising a support (6) with a bearing (11) for a lever arm (3) with a float (4) and a guide rail (16) pointing in the direction of the bearing (11). The lever arm (3) has a stirrup (5) made of plastic and a lever wire (7) clipped thereto. The stirrup has two guide elements (12,13) which are arranged next to each other and which engage with the guide rail (16), thereby preventing the dual contact (10) of the stirrup (5) from rising above the slideways (9) of a potentiometer (8) which are disposed on the support (6).

  • Patent number: 6792969
    Abstract: A pressure regulator has a closing member which controls a pressure-medium inlet and on which is supported a valve spring arranged in a spring can. The spring can includes a casing part and of a lid. The valve spring is supported with one end against the lid. The lid is pushed into the casing part until the necessary spring force is set exactly and is then connected to the casing surface of the casing part by means of radial indentations.

  • Patent number: 6595239
    Abstract: In a feed device with a filling-level sensor fastened to a wall of a baffle, the filling-level sensor has a lever wire for holding a float. A carrier for mounting the filling-level sensor to a wall of the baffle is connectable to the wall in at least two different orientations. The pivoting range of the float is set by the selected orientation of the carrier on the wall. The feed device is consequently suitable for use in differently constructed fuel tanks.

  • Patent number: 6467514
    Abstract: In a feed device with a filling-level sensor fastened to a wall of a baffle, the filling-level sensor has a lever wire for holding a float. A carrier for mounting the filling-level sensor to a wall of the baffle has a first carrier part connected to the baffle and a second carrier part having the mounting for the lever wire. The pivoting range of the float is set by the selected orientation of the second carrier part on the first carrier part. The feed device is consequently suitable for use in differently constructed fuel tanks.

  • Patent number: 6418984
    Abstract: In a feed device with a filling-level sensor fastened to a wall of a baffle, the filling-level sensor has a lever wire for holding a float. The lever wire is fastenable in different orientations on a pivotably mounted yoke. The pivoting range of the float is set by the selected orientation of the lever wire. The feed device is consequently suitable for use in differently constructed fuel tanks.

  • Patent number: 6276201
    Abstract: In a fuel tank (1) for a motor vehicle, a carrier (12) of a fuel level sensor (8) is manufactured in one piece with a wall of the baffle (4). As a result, the fuel tank (1) is composed of a very small number of components and can be mounted in a particularly simple way. In the region of a mounting for a lever arm (9) carrying a float (10), the carrier (12) is spaced from the baffle (4). The lever arm (9) can thereby engage round the mounting. The filling level sensor (8) has high stability as a result.
