  • Patent number: 6935881
    Abstract: An electric contact coupling for connection of a first group of electric conductors to a second group of electric conductors, and especially for use in the coupling of rail and other vehicles with one another, comprises a first plug contact carrier and a second socket contact carrier which are movable into assembly with one another to bring the plug contact elements of the first contact carrier into electric contact with the socket contact elements of the second contact carrier. The two contact carriers are arranged in respectively associated contact carrier housings. The first contact carrier is movable by a positioning mechanism axially relative to its housing to bring its contacts into engagement with the contacts of the second carrier after the two carrier housings have been brought into engagement with one another. Transversely movable closure members seal the carrier housings against the penetration of dirt and moisture when the carrier housings are uncoupled from one another.

  • Patent number: 6773312
    Abstract: An electrical pressure contact includes a housing sleeve with an end facing the contact and an end facing away from the contact, a contact pin axially slidably supported in the housing sleeve, which pin extends out of the housing sleeve at the side facing the contact, which pin is a pushable into the housing sleeve against the biasing force of the a biasing element arranged in the housing sleeve, and through the conductive body of which pin the electrical contact is made, a terminal piece for fastening to an electrical supply conductor at the end of the housing facing away from the contact, and an axially flexible electrical conductor arranged in the housing sleeve between the terminal piece and the contact pin. The flexible electrical conductor is at its end facing the contact clamped into an axial bore formed in the end of the contact pin facing away from the contact and at its end facing away from the contact is clamped in an axial bore formed in the end of the terminal piece facing the contact.
