  • Patent number: 9728886
    Abstract: A coupling part for an electrical line has an insulator having a receiving side and an oppositely lying plug-in side and throughholes, in which are arranged insulated electrical contact elements relative to each other, to which, in the mounted position, the electrical conductors of the line are connected on the receiving side of the insulator. A surrounding prefabricated housing is mounted over the connecting point of the conductors and contact elements, so that on the one side it stretches up to and over the insulator and on the other side up to and over the line.

  • Patent number: 9130299
    Abstract: Method for producing an electrically conductive connection between a component (1), which is positioned in a housing, is equipped with electrical contacts and is accessible from the outside through an opening located in a wall of the housing, and a feed source, using a plug-type element (6), which is equipped with electrical mating contacts (7) and is fitted to the end of an electrical line, which is connected to the feed source and has at least two insulated conductors (8). The plug-type element (6)together with conductors (8) connected thereto is first fixed on one end of a holder (9) made from plastic, whose outer dimensions are smaller than the clear width of the opening (4) of the housing (3). Then the plug-type element (6) is passed through the opening (4) of the housing (3) by means of the holder (9) and is plugged onto the contacts (2) of the component (1).

  • Publication number: 20030102749
    Abstract: In order to fit a motor (12) in a housing (16) for an adjustment element, the motor (12) needs to be only axially introduced into a pot-shaped holding receiver (17). Said receiver (17) is then covered on the drive side by means of an assembly element (21) which is essentially in the form of a ring disk, and which, in order to obtain axial tolerance compensation, is supported opposite the housing by means of a spring arm (28) arranged in a crown-shaped manner. Said assembly element positively engages with the end shield (25) of the motor (12) and with the housing (16), in order to harness the torque. The axial connections (26) between the motor (12) and the assembly element (21) are used simultaneously, in terms of the position, the cross-section and/or depth of contact, for coding the motor classification by the assembly element (21).

  • Patent number: 6171147
    Abstract: A coupling element is proposed for a single wire or multi-wire electrical cable. The coupling element has a contact support to which a protective body surrounding the cable connection is molded in such a way that a region of the surface of the contact support remains exposed. The exposed region (4) has openings (7) extending through the contact support and contacts that are conductively connected with a wire of the cable (1) and arranged in the openings. A closed cover (8) is provided in close contact with the contact support (2) and extends over the openings (7). The cover (8) is provided with a passage (9) having the edges surrounding and fitting tightly against the cable (1). The protective body (6) surrounds the cover (8) and the passage (9) and is in moisture-tight sealing engagement with the contact support (2) and the cable (1). A method for producing the coupling element provides for molding the protective body (6) so it surrounds the cover (8).
