Abstract:
Clip for Fastening to a Flat Component In a clip (10) having a body (11) that has a receiving slot (16) for accommodating the flat component and has a locking finger (23), a free end of the locking finger (23) projects into the receiving slot (16) and is attached to the body (11) by elastically deformable webs (27, 28) that lie on an axis extending crosswise to the insertion direction and parallel to the receiving slot (16). A release lever (33) is attached to the one locking finger (23) in such a way that the one locking finger (23) can be moved into a release position by a force acting on the release lever (33) in a release direction, in which release position the free end of the locking finger (23) is disengaged from a flat component accommodated in the receiving slot (16).
Abstract:
In a method for injection molding a fastening element (1, 21) from plastic by means of an injection mold that encloses a cavity and that molds a fastening element (1, 21) having a body (2, 22) extending along an axis with a wall (3) that encloses a hole (4, 24) extending in the axial direction for accommodating a stud or the like, the injection mold is designed such that the cavity has a uniform thickness, wherein liquid crystal polymer material (LCP) is used as the plastic and is injected centrally into the cavity of the injection mold at an axial injection end in such a manner that the flow front of the material advances uniformly axially into the cavity.
Abstract:
Method for securing an article (12) to a component (14) in a defined positional orientation, comprising the steps: joining a joining element (16) to a surface of the component (14) by means of a joining head (62), fastening a clip (18) to the joining element (16), and fixing the article (12) to the clip (18), wherein the joining element (16) has a polygonal section (22) and, during the joining operation, is held on the joining head (62) in a position defined by the polygonal section (22) and is joined to the surface of the component (14), and wherein the clip (18) has a polygonal anti- rotation locking section (38) and can be fastened to the joining element (16) in such a way that an article (12) to be fixed to the clip (18) can be secured to the component (14) in a defined positional orientation.
Abstract:
Bei dem beschriebenen Verfahren zum Urformen eines Formteils mit einer Öffnung und einem in der Öffnung ausgebildeten Innengewinde, werden in zwei verschiedenen Sektoren der Öffnung angeordnete Teilstücke eines Gewindegangs des Innengewindes durch in die Öffnung hineinragende Formkerne geformt. Zum Entformen werden die Formkerne radial zur Längsachse des Innengewindes aus dem Formteil herausgezogen. Das nach dem Verfahren hergestellte Formteil (1) hat eine Öffnung (5) und ein in der Öffnung ausgebildetes Innengewinde (9), das in verschiedenen Sektoren der Öffnung angeordnete Teilstücke (10) eines Gewindegangs aufweist, wobei den Teilstücken (10) des Innengewindes jeweils eine Kernöffnung (11, 12, 13) gegenüber liegt, welche die Wand des Formteils radial nach außen durchdringt.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus (10) for automatically, circumferentially wrapping an axi-ally extending article (54), in particular a cable or a cable loom, with a wrapping tape (28) in a wrapping plane which is oriented substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the article (54), wherein the tape (28) is connectable to a fastening element (34), and the apparatus (10) including a gripper device (12); a joining tool (40) for joining at least parts of overlapping portions of the tape (28) when the tape (28) at least once has been com-pletely circumferentially guided around the article (54) to be wrapped; a first feed device (24) for feeding the tape (28) to the gripper device (12) during the wrapping operation; a second feed device (26) for feeding the fastening element (34) to the gripper device (12); and a control device (46).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for automatically wrapping axially extending articles. The invention is particularly used in the field of manufacturing cable harnesses for the automotive industry. For that purpose a device is proposed which can, for example, fix clips to a cable harness at a predeterminded circumferential position by means of a wrapping tape.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to a system and method for automatically wrapping longitudinally extending articles. The invention is particularly used in the field of manufac-turing of cable harnesses in the automotive industry. For this purpose an apparatus is suggested which allows the fixation of, for example, clips according to the invention to the cable harness in a predetermined circumferential position by means of a wrapping tape.
