  • Patent number: 8591269
    Abstract: A shielding terminal clamp having a first limb, a second limb and a yoke having a base part, with an elastic element disposed between the first limb and second such that a pressure force is exerted on a pressure piece movably supported between first and second guide pieces of the first and second limbs, respectively, first and second ends of the elastic element being respectively disposed on the base part and the pressure piece such that the pressure force acts in the direction of an open end of the yoke opposite the base part, with a closing device, which is displaceable disposed on the yoke such that a movement in a direction extending orthogonally to the pressure force, with which the closing device and the yoke move toward one another, causes a shielding bus clamping of between the open end of the yoke and the closing device.

  • Patent number: 8310834
    Abstract: A module and tensioning means for mounting the module to a mounting rail are provided. The tensioning means are rotatably disposed about a pivot point disposed on a housing, wherein the tensioning means interact with anchoring means such that, by rotation of the tensioning means, the anchoring means are latched to a second clamping means of the mounting rail.

  • Publication number: 20100092239
    Abstract: A fixing element including a bolt with a first region with a first cross-section and a second region with a second cross-section is provided. The fixing element further includes a clamping wing with a first bearing surface, the clamping wing being arranged in the second region, and a transition point between the first and the second region, which is configured at least partially as a second bearing surface. The first and the second bearing surfaces are arranged opposite one another such that a first material part and a second material part are mounted between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface by executing a rotary motion. The second bearing surface includes a first sliding part and a second sliding part, wherein, starting from an insertion position, a tension force increasing in the axial direction until a locking position is reached as a result of the rotary motion.
