Abstract: The invention relates to a protective cover comprising a plurality of protective cover segments (1), which can be moved telescopically against one another and which have a covering leg (2) and a supporting leg (3), and comprising a connecting element or bellows (4). When the protective cover is telescopically extended, an elastic restoring element produces a torque (M) and transfers said torque to the supporting leg (3). The invention is characterized in that the elastic restoring element is an integral component of the connecting element (4) in that the connecting element (4) has flexural rigidity and is connected to the supporting leg (3) in a planar manner along a height portion (h) of the supporting leg (3). Owing to the invention, an additional elastic restoring element and the attachment thereof to the supporting leg are no longer necessary.

Abstract: A multi-channel pressure sensor module (10) for integration in a hydraulic/electrical control unit of a vehicular braking system is shown. A body or manifold (16) mounts a plurality of strain gauge sense element assemblies (12) each having a port for connection to a fluid pressure source to be monitored. An electronic module assembly (14) has a contact printed circuit board (24) and a sense element printed circuit board (22) sandwiching a spacer/support member (20) and electrically coupled together by a flexible circuit board (26). The spacer/support member (20) is formed with pockets (20e, 20f) for receipt of discrete electronic components and to provide access to wire bond pads (22c) and sense element openings (22b). First and second sets of guide posts (20c, 20d) extend from the spacer/support member for alignment of the circuit boards as well as the electronic module assembly on the base.
