  • Publication number: 20220194243
    Abstract: A system for conductively charging a motor vehicle includes a charging device and a receiving device. The charging device has an electrical contacting unit and a lifting device operable, for axially moving the contacting unit between retracted and extended positions. The receiving device has a receiving chamber for receiving the contacting element inserted therein when the contacting element is moved to an extended position. The contacting unit has a cylindrical or truncated cone body and includes an electrical contact ring extending around a lateral surface of the body of the contacting element. The receiving device includes a radially position-able electrical contact element along the receiving chamber. When the contact element is in one radial position while the contacting unit is inserted into the receiving chamber the contact element electrically contacts the contact ring and mechanically fixes the contacting unit to the receiving device inside the receiving chamber.

  • Patent number: 9692146
    Abstract: A contact element for connecting to a cable having a braided shield includes a spring contact sleeve and a crimp sleeve. The spring contact sleeve has an annular ring and spring contacts arranged circumferentially on one end of the annular ring. The spring contact sleeve and the crimp sleeve form an enclosed hollow cavity between one another when the crimp sleeve is joined to the annular ring. The hollow cavity is configured to fully receive therein an exposed portion of the braided shield provided for connection of the contact element to the cable.

  • Patent number: 9595783
    Abstract: A fluid-tight via includes a plastic body, a flat contact, and a permanently elastic sealant. The plastic body is composed of a non-shrinking, duroplastic material. The flat contact has an intermediate region encapsulated by the plastic body. The intermediate region of the flat contact has a cross-sectional width which varies along an axial direction of the flat contact. The permanently elastic sealant fills cracks in interfaces between the plastic body and the flat contact.

  • Patent number: 9337569
    Abstract: A fluid-tight contact implementation includes a plastic body and a flat contact(s). The plastic of the plastic body is composed of a non-shrinking, duroplastic material. The flat contact has a region encapsulated by the plastic body. The encapsulated region of the flat contact has a cross-sectional width which varies along an axial direction of the flat contact. Longitudinal edges of the encapsulated region of the flat contact along the axial direction are rounded.
