Patent number: 9797473Abstract: The invention relates to a line guide (100; 200; 300) for protecting at least one line, such as a cable, a hose, or the like for example, for supplying a motor vehicle seat for example. A longitudinal portion with multiple segments (110, 112; 210; 310) of the line guide is produced as a single piece, and each of the multiple segments has a closable holder (123; 223; 323) for the at least one line. Thus, the line can be positioned in a receiving area (130; 230; 330) when the holder is open and is held transversely to the longitudinal direction (L) in the closed position of the holder. The segments are connected together in the longitudinal direction so as to form an elbow (106; 206) by means of a flexible connection.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: IGUS GMBHInventor: Stefan Strack

Patent number: 9780478Abstract: A connector comprises a housing, a contact and a connection structure. The connection structure is a structure other than the housing and comprises a conductive member, a protection portion and an electric-shock prevention portion. The conductive member has a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is attached to or integrally formed with the contact. The protection portion covers a part of the conductive member, which is positioned between the first end portion and the second end portion. The housing has an accommodation portion formed therewithin. The accommodation portion has an opening. The contact is accommodated in the accommodation portion together with the first end portion of the conductive member. The electric-shock prevention portion, at least in part, blocks the opening of the accommodation portion and obstructs entrance of a finger into the accommodation portion beyond the electric-shock prevention portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, LimitedInventor: Yuji Kamei
