Patent number: 9429261Abstract: A plug connection having two intermateable coupling parts that can be releasably locked via a locking device. The locking device includes a radial retaining bar on each of the coupling parts and a retaining part with a circumferentially closed annular contour. In a preassembled state, the retaining is undetachably assembled on one of the two coupling parts. In an assembled state, the retaining part axially and radially encompasses the retaining bars of both coupling parts. The retaining part includes an elastically moving retaining section having a C-shaped section defined by two collars. The collars have different sizes and/or shapes such that one collar releases an adjacent retaining bar upon the radial elastic outward movement out of the assembled state. The other collar remains engaged behind the retaining bar of the other coupling part.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: VOSS Automotive GmbHInventors: Jochem-Andreas Hess, Gunter Sieper, Reinhard Plietsch

Patent number: 9353662Abstract: An assembled media line, or a section of a media line, for connecting a tank to a dosing unit in order to add a reducing agent into a SCR catalyst system of an internal combustion engine. The fluid line has electric heating in some sections for heating of the fluid. The fluid line is additionally provided, at least in some areas, with fluid tempering. In use, the media line connects a tank to a dosing unit in order to add a reducing agent in a SCR catalyst system of an internal combustion engine, and wherein the engine coolant is used as tempering fluid. The tempering is achieved by inclusion of at least one tempering line running alongside the fluid line. A line connector for such a media line includes a connecting housing in which the fluid line and two tempering lines can be connected.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: VOSS Automotive GmbHInventors: Otfried Schwarzkopf, Reinhard Plietsch, Tobias Etscheid, Marco Isenburg, Oliver Preiss, Martin Sachse
