  • Patent number: 7441457
    Abstract: A fixing element, is designed on a fixing ring (2) for a sensor head (1) measuring speed of rotation or angle of rotation of a wheel in a motor vehicle. The sensor head (1) has a housing (11) made of plastic, and at least one housing foot (5) fixed to the fixing ring (2) by the fixing element. The fixing ring (2) serves for fixing the sensor head (1) to a further component, such as a wheel bearing. The fixing element is configured as a T-shaped, twistable lug (7) with a retaining piece (10). The lug extends through a continuous, mainly slot-shaped or long-hole-shaped cutout (6) of the housing foot (5).

  • Patent number: 6176739
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly 10 includes a seal 20 including sealing apertures 25 that including glands for sealing a wire extending through the aperture. A sealing unit 24 includes a lead in recess 26, a contact ingress seal gland 28, a core seal gland 30 and a contact egress seal gland 29. The core seal gland 30 establishes the primary seal with a wire extending through the seal, and the ingress seal gland 28 is deformable between the core seal gland 30 and the contact during contact insertion to protect the core seal gland 30 from damage. A pattern 40 of stress relieving recesses 42 et seq. surrounds the seal apertures, and include canted webs 43 et seq. The stress relieving recesses aid flexure of the seals and the seal glands. Other stress relieving recesses 56 located between seal apertures including perpendicular webs 57.

  • Patent number: 5785540
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connector which has a simple structure and can be joined together even blind with the complementary connector. The joining together can also be carried out with one hand. The electrical connector has an actuating slide in order to plug the connector pair one into the other, a lug on the second connector being moved through a slot on the actuating slide during the actuation of the actuating slide for the purpose of connecting and separating the connectors. Provided on the housing of the first connector is a latching arm having a latching hook, by means of which the second connector can be latched with the first connector in a prelatching position. The actuating slide is designed in such a way that this latching can be released by actuating the actuating slide.
