Patent number: 7850485Abstract: A plug connector having a housing located at a plate opening in an operating position, and the plug connector contains wires and/or braids of a cable and electrical contacts. Assembly on the plate is realized by a flange plate attached to the outside of the housing having an interior recess with an interior dimension for engaging the housing of the plug connector. The flange plate is constructed as a single piece, and one of the interior recesses has a continuous slot extending to the outside, which slot acts as a clamp slot with the interior dimension of the interior recess being made smaller by narrowing the slot, and an arrangement is provided, by which the flange plate can be pressed in and thus clamped onto the outside of the housing. Preferably, the slot is reduced by at least one clamp screw with locking threads, or a lock nut.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Anton Hummel Verwaltungs - GmbHInventors: Mario Bartholoma, Fritz Zugel, Volker Gotz, Philipp Gerber, Gunter Reich

Publication number: 20100253069Abstract: A connection fitting (1) for cables (23), tubes or the like includes a tensioning element (6) which is inserted into the opening (2) in a wall (3) and latches thereto. A screw sleeve (5) which is connected to a lock (13) is screwed onto the tensioning element (6), wherein the lock (13) engages in the tensioning element (6) in the position of use and locks the latching. Fitting onto the screw sleeve (5) is a union nut (4) which is used to actuate clamping lamellae (25) which are formed on the screw sleeve (5) and clamp the cable (23) or the tube or the like. The screw threads are in the same direction, with the result that, when the union nut is screwed against the tensioning element, the screw sleeve is concomitantly moved and the screw sleeve (5) is screwed against the tensioning element.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2008Publication date: October 7, 2010Applicant: HUMMEL AGInventors: Mario Bartholoma, Fritz Zugel, Volker Gotz, Philipp Gerber

Patent number: 7338087Abstract: A connector fitting for fixing a longitudinal body, for example, a cable, a hose, a pipe, a corrugated hose to a wall opening. The connector fitting includes a chuck, which penetrates the opening and includes slits that extend in an axial direction. The chuck is radially outwardly expandable, in an insertion direction behind the opening into a clamping region containing the slits, and can be tightened on an outer side or in front of the opening of the housing by the thread and a matching tensioning nut, such that the clamping region can be withdrawn into the opening and thus braced against the longitudinal body. The tensioning nut includes an abutment acting in the axial direction and the chuck comprises a counter-abutment adjacent to its thread section, and the counter-abutment exerts pressure on the abutment in a released position of the chuck.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2003Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: Anton Hummel Verwaltungs GmbHInventors: Mario Bartholomä, Fritz Zügel, Volker Götz, Philipp Gerber

Patent number: 6722704Abstract: A connecting fitting used for fixing longitudinal bodies to perforations or openings, especially in the wall of a housing, which include retaining projecting elements that engage with the edge of the perforation from the rear, and a stop in the form of a plastic ring which, in use, lies on a side of the opening opposite the edge of the opening that is engaged from the rear. The elastic ring is supported by a surface of the connecting fitting which expands from an area adjacent the opening from inside toward outside in an oblique manner, whereby the ring can be moved and displaced axially when the diameter is elastically enlarged, in order to account for different wall thicknesses.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2002Date of Patent: April 20, 2004Assignee: Anton Hummel Verwaltungs GmbHInventors: Mario Bartholoma, Fritz Zugel, Volker Gotz, Philipp Gerber

Publication number: 20040012201Abstract: A connecting filling (1) used for fixing peripherally ribbed longitudinal bodies such as corrugated hoses (2), comprising a retaining bushing (3) into which the longitudinal body or corrugated hose (2) can be inserted in an axial direction and anchored by means of at least one locking, retaining, projecting element which, when insertion occurs, is radially offset in an outer direction and engages with a recess running along the periphery of the longitudinal body or corrugated hose (2), for instance a corrugation trough (2a). A retaining ring (4) which is fixed in an axial direction inside the retaining bushing (3) is used as a retaining projecting element. The ring can be expanded in an elastic manner in a radial direction until the inner diameter thereof is at least as large as the largest outer diameter of the longitudinal body or an undulation of the corrugated hose (2). The retaining ring (4) can be offset when the corrugated hose (2) is inserted and can engage with a recess or a corrugation trough (2a).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2003Publication date: January 22, 2004Inventors: Mario Bartholoma, Fritz Zugel, Volker Gotz, Philipp Gerber

Patent number: 6511099Abstract: A connection fitting for the fastening of elongated bodies, for example of cables (2) or also hoses, tubes, corrugated hoses and the like, in an opening (3), which can be a through hole or a boring in a wall (4) of a building. The connection fitting includes a clamping collet (9) which, in its operation position, penetrates the opening (3) and is self expanding behind the opening (3), and which, by means of an axial retraction opposite to the direction of insertion, is also radially compressible and thus exerts a clamping force on the elongated body. To effect this motion of retraction, a sheath (11) is provided, which is frictionally connected or force-fit connected with a locking ring (15), which, by rotational movement of the sheath (11) itself turns accordingly and, by its own threading, is axially displaced until the ring (15) abuts the wall (4) on the opening rim (12) and remains there in a stop position. In this way, the respective thickness of the wall (4) is accommodated.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2001Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: Anton Hummel Verwaltungs GmbHInventors: Mario Bartholomä, Fritz Zügel, Volker Götz, Philipp Gerber
