Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft die Oberbegriffe der unabhängigen Ansprüche. Damit befasst sich die Erfindung mit der Verbesserung von Steckerbrücken.The present invention relates to the preambles of the independent claims. Thus, the invention is concerned with the improvement of connector bridges.

Steckerbrücken werden im Übergangsbereich zwischen den an Netzleitungen und dergleichen Anschlusskabeln und den in eine Steckdose einzuschiebenden Steckerstiften verwendet. Es sind dabei mehrere Steckerstifte, beispielsweise zum Anschluss einer Phasen-, Null- und Masseleitung vorhanden, die mit den abisolierten Enden des Anschlusskabels verbunden werden müssen. Um diese Verbindung zu erleichtern, werden die Steckerstifte in einer Kunststoff-Grundform umfasst, wobei zur Aufnahme der Leiterenden eine entweder an den Steckerstiften unmittelbar vorgesehene Aufnahmehülse oder eine über leitende Kontaktbleche oder dergleichen mit den Steckerstiften verbundene Hülse vorgesehen ist. Die Litzen müssen vollständig umfaßt sein und dürfen nicht abstehen, da sie sonst nach dem Spritzen des Griffkörpers aus diesem austreten können und bei einem Benutzer Stromschläge verursachen können.
Es ist bekannt, die Hülse trichterförmig zu erweitern, um die Aufnahme von Litzen zu erleichtern. Weiter ist es bekannt, der Hülse eine trichterförmige Einführhilfe vorzusetzen. Beispiele für derartige Anordnungen sind beispielsweise offenbart in der DE 42 22 651, EP 0 332 035, DE 87 15 003 U1, DE 87 16 567 U1, DE 38 07 716.7 oder der DE 39 11 315.9.
Plug bridges are used in the transition region between the power cords and the like connecting cables and plug-in pins to be inserted into a socket. There are several pins, for example, for connecting a phase, neutral and ground line available that must be connected to the stripped ends of the connecting cable. To facilitate this connection, the plug pins are comprised in a plastic base mold, wherein for receiving the conductor ends is provided either on the plug pins directly provided receiving sleeve or via conductive contact plates or the like connected to the connector pins sleeve. The strands must be completely covered and must not protrude, otherwise they may leak out after spraying the handle body and may cause electric shock to a user.
It is known to expand the sleeve funnel-shaped to facilitate the absorption of strands. Next it is known the sleeve set a funnel-shaped insertion aid. Examples of such arrangements are disclosed for example in DE 42 22 651, EP 0 332 035, DE 87 15 003 U1, DE 87 16 567 U1, DE 38 07 716.7 or DE 39 11 315.9.

Eine Steckerbrücke mit einer Basisplatte, gemäß Obergriff des Anspruchs 1 ist auch aus DE 40 12 582 bekannt.A plug bridge with a base plate, according to the preamble of claim 1 is also known from DE 40 12 582.

Die bekannten Anordnungen vermeiden, dass leicht abstehende Litzenenden bei der Verarbeitung an der Aufnahmehülse vorbei geschoben werden und dann, aus der den Griffkörper des Stekkers bildenden Vergussmasse herausragend, zu tödlichen Stromschlägen für einen Benützer führen. Oftmals ist es jedoch erforderlich, an der Steckerbrücke Bereiche vorzusehen, die bei der Griffkörperbildung durch Umspritzen der mit dem Anschlussendenkabel verbundenen Steckerbrücke nicht von Griffkörpergussmasse, beispielsweise heißem PVC umflossen werden. Beispiele hierfür sind die in Steckerbrücken für das Vereinigte Königreich (GB) gebräuchlichen, an der Steckerbrücke vorgesehenen Feinsicherungen oder Netzfilteranordnungen, die unmittelbar an der Steckerbrücke vorgesehen werden. Es ist bei derartigen Steckerbrücken üblich, diese Bereiche zumindest weitgehend abzuschotten und es soll trotz dieser erforderlichen zusätzlichen Abschottung eine besonders kostengünstige Ausbildung der Steckerbrücke ermöglicht werden, wobei zu beachten ist, dass die Herstellung einer Steckerbrücke mit den Leiterenden vorgesetzten Einführhilfeanordnungen für ein Massenprodukt immer noch vergleichsweise teuer ist.Avoid the known arrangements that slightly protruding strand ends are pushed past the receiving sleeve during processing and then, leading out of the handle body of the Stekkers forming potting outstanding, to fatal electric shock to a user. Often, however, it is necessary to provide at the connector bridge areas that are not encircled by Griffkörpergussmasse, such as hot PVC in the handle body formation by encapsulation of the connector cable connected to the connector cable. Examples of these are the miniature fuses or line filter arrangements commonly used in plug-in bridges for the United Kingdom (GB), provided on the plug bridge, which are provided directly on the plug bridge. It is common in such connector bridges, at least largely foreclose these areas and it is despite this required additional foreclosure a particularly cost-effective design of the connector bridge allows, it should be noted that the production of a jumper with the leader ends superior Einführhilfeanordnungen for a mass product still comparatively is expensive.

Es ist ein Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung, Neues für die gewerbliche Anwendung bereitzustellen.It is an object of the present invention to provide new industrial applications.

Im unabhängigen Anspruch ist angegeben, wie das Ziel erreicht werden kann. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The independent claim specifies how the goal can be achieved. Preferred embodiments are specified in the subclaims.

Die vorliegende Erfindung schlägt somit zunächst eine Steckkerbrücke mit einer Basisplatte für Steckerstifte und/oder Bauteile, Crimpanschlüssen für diese und eine mit einer Abdeckung für Steckerbrückenbereiche verbundenen Einführhilfenanordnung, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass zumindest ein Crimpanschluss mit einem Steckerstift und/oder Bauteil über einen Metallstreifen verbunden ist, der durch einen Durchlassschlitz zwischen Abdeckung und Basisplatte elastisch nachgiebig und/oder federnd zur Einführhilfenanordnung geführt ist.The present invention thus proposes first a Steckkerbrücke with a base plate for connector pins and / or components, crimping connections for these and connected to a cover for connector bridge areas Einführhilfenanordnung, characterized in that at least one crimp is connected to a connector pin and / or component via a metal strip , which is guided by a passage slot between the cover and the base plate elastically yielding and / or resilient to Einführhilfenanordnung.

Damit besteht ein erster Grundgedanke der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, dass die Einführhilfenanordnung die Abdeckung einstückig fortsetzt. Damit ist einerseits die Zahl der zu montierenden Teile verringert, was den Herstellungsaufwand erniedrigt, andererseits ist aber trotz der Vereinfachung lediglich durch die Verbindung der Einführhilfenanordnung mit dem Deckel auch und zugleich die Positionierung der Einführhilfenanordnung noch verbessert. Insbesondere ist dies wichtig, wenn die Einführhilfenanordnung als Fortsatz eines über die Crimphülse zu schiebenden Ansatzes gebildet ist, da dies die weitgehende Fixierung und/oder Positionierung der Crimphülse mittels des Ansatzes erlaubt, ohne dass eine besonders enge Anpassung des Ansatzes um die Crimphülse herum erforderlich ist. Dies erleichtert das Montieren in besonderem Maße.Thus, a first basic idea of the present invention is that the insertion aid arrangement continues the cover in one piece. Thus, on the one hand, the number of parts to be mounted is reduced, which reduces the production cost, but on the other hand, despite the simplification only by the connection of Einführhilfenanordnung with the lid and at the same time the positioning of the Einführhilfenanordnung still improved. In particular, this is important when the Einführhilfenanordnung is formed as an extension of a crimp on the sleeve approach, as this allows the extensive fixing and / or positioning of the crimp sleeve by means of the approach, without a particularly close adaptation of the approach to the crimp around is required , This facilitates the mounting in particular.

Es ist bevorzugt, wenn die Steckerbrücke so ausgebildet ist, dass mehrere Crimphülsen allgemein parallel nebeneinander liegen. In einem solchen Fall kann die Einführhilfenanordnung gleichzeitig mehreren der Crimphülsen zugeordnet sein und insbesondere der Ansatz vor und/oder über mehreren der Crimphülsen gleichzeitig liegen. Dies ermöglicht es insbesondere, wie in einer bevorzugten Anordnung vorgesehen, die Crimphülse an einem elastich nachgiebigen beziehungsweise federnden Metallstreifen, der aus einem Metallblech gestanzt wird, mit erhöhter Toleranz vorzusehen. Somit kann die Crimphülse in einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel entweder auf einen Steckerstift aufgenietet werden und/oder der Stekkerstift wird aus einem Metallblech gestanzt und entsprechend der benötigten Form umgebogen. Insbesondere die Herstellung von Steckerbrücken gemäß GB-Norm wird so verbilligt.It is preferred if the plug bridge is designed such that a plurality of crimp sleeves are generally parallel next to one another. In such a case, the Einführhilfenanordnung may be assigned to several of the same Crimphülsen and in particular the approach in front of and / or over several of the Crimshülsen simultaneously. This makes it possible, in particular, as provided in a preferred arrangement, to provide the crimp barrel on an elastically compliant or resilient metal strip, which is stamped from a metal sheet, with increased tolerance. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the crimp barrel can either be riveted to a pin and / or the steker pin is stamped from a metal sheet and bent according to the required shape. In particular, the production of connector bridges according to the GB standard is cheaper.

Es ist möglich, die Abdeckung über einem Sicherungshalterbereich und/oder einem Entstörfilterbereich vorzusehen, wobei die Anschlüsse zu den abgeschotteten elektrischen Bauteilen mit Metallblechen insbesondere mit den Crimphülsen einstückige Metallbleche gebildet sein können. In einem solchen Fall wird die Abdichtung d.h. Abschottung des abgedeckten Bereiches zwar typischerweise nicht hermetisch sein; allerdings ist es möglich, bei der typisch bevorzugten allenfalls schlitzförmigen Ausbildung des Durchlasses für die Verbindungsbleche an denselben aufgrund der guten Wärmeleitung der Metalle ein Erstarren des allenfalls wenigen, eindringenden Griffkörpergussmaterials so zu bewirken, dass sich sofort ein abgekühlter Stopfen am Durchlass bildet, der den abzuschottenden Bereich vollständig vor dem Eindringen und Nachfließen weiteren Materials schützt.It is possible to provide the cover over a fuse holder region and / or an interference filter region, wherein the connections to the sealed electrical components may be formed with metal sheets, in particular metal sheets integral with the crimp sleeves. In such a case, although the sealing, ie, sealing off, of the covered area will typically not be hermetic; However, it is possible, in the typical preferred at most slot-shaped design of the passage for the connecting plates on the same due to the good heat conduction of the metals, a solidification of the possibly few penetrating Griffkörpergussmaterials so that immediately forms a cooled plug at the passage, the abgeschottenden Area completely protects against the ingress and Nachfließen further material.

Es ist bevorzugt, wenn die Abdeckung als Deckel auf einer Umlaufwand um diesen abzuschottenden Bereich aufsitzt, wobei eine Einrastung zwischen Deckel und Wand vorgesehen sein kann und/oder eine Verschweißung, insbesondere mittels Ultraschall. Dies gewährleistet, dass sich die Abdeckung auch unter dem Einfluss der heißen, aggressiven und schnel anströmenden Griffkörpergussmasse nicht lösen kann.It is preferred if the cover rests as a lid on a circumferential wall around this region to be sealed off, wherein a latching between the lid and the wall can be provided and / or a welding, in particular by means of ultrasound. This ensures that the cover can not solve even under the influence of hot, aggressive and fast flowing Griffkörpergussmasse.

Es ist bevorzugt, wenn die Abdeckung insbesondere gegen PVC-Griffkörpergussmasse hinreichend hitzebeständig ist, wozu sie in einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel aus Polypropylen gebildet ist.It is preferred if the cover is sufficiently heat-resistant, in particular to PVC-Griffkörpergussmasse, for which it is formed in a preferred embodiment of polypropylene.

Die Einführhilfenanordnung beziehungsweise der Ansatz kann in einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel einen die Crimphülse überragenden und diese gegebenenfalls ummantelnden Schirm aufweisen und mit diesem vercrimpt werden. Dazu ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Abdeckung aus einem nicht spröden Material gebildet ist, um beim Vercrimpen das Entstehen von Bruchstücken zu verhindern.In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the insertion aid arrangement or the attachment can have a screen projecting beyond the crimping sleeve and possibly covering it, and can be crimped with it. For this purpose, it is preferred if the cover is formed of a non-brittle material to prevent the formation of fragments during crimping.

In einer bevorzugten Variante ist die Einführhilfe über mehrere, voneinander unter Belassung eines Freiraumes beabstandete Arme mit der Abdeckung verbunden. Es können insbesondere zwei Arme an den Rändern von der Abdeckung weg ragen.In a preferred variant, the insertion aid is connected to the cover by way of a plurality of arms which are spaced apart from one another while leaving a clearance free. In particular, two arms may protrude away from the cover at the edges.

Die Arme können allgemein parallel zu den Crimphülsen liegen, was die Montage erleichtert.The arms can be generally parallel to the Crimphülsen, which facilitates the assembly.

Die Einführhilfenanordnung wird sich innen bevorzugt trichterförmig nach distal zu den Crimphülsen-erweitern. In alternativer Weise kann vorgesehen sein, dass zwei miteinander verschränkte U-förmige Bögen mit auf die Crimphülse zulaufend abgeschrägtem Rand vorgesehen werden. Eine solche Ausbildung wird in einer bereits eingereichten, aber noch nicht offengelegten Anmeldung des gleichen Anmelders beansprucht, deren Offenbarungsgehalt durch Bezugnahme vollumfänglich eingegliedert ist.The introducer assembly will expand internally preferably funnel-shaped distal to the Crimphülsen. Alternatively, it can be provided that two U-shaped arcs entangled with the crimp sleeve tapering beveled edge. Such a training is claimed in an already filed, but not yet disclosed application of the same applicant, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Nach Fig. 1 umfasst eine allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Steckerbrücke 1 eine Einführhilfenanordnung 2 zur Erleichterung des Einführens eines Leiterendes (nicht gezeigt) in eine Crimphülse 3 (Fig. 2) und eine Abdeckung 4 zur Abschottung eines Steckerbrückenbereiches 5 vor beim Umspritzen der Stekkerbrücke anströmender Griffkörpergussmasse.1, a connector bridge 1, generally designated 1, includes an insertion aid assembly 2 for facilitating the insertion of a conductor end (not shown) into a crimp barrel 3 (FIG. 2) and a cover 4 for partitioning a plug bridge region 5 prior to gripping body molding compound flowing in over molding of the stekker bridge ,

An der Steckerbrücke 1 sind steckerseitig Steckerstifte 6 entsprechend einer gewünschten Steckernorm vorgesehen, vorliegend drei Steckerstifte 6a, 6b, 6c für einen in Großbritannien verwendeten Stecker. Die Steckerstifte 6a, 6b, 6c sind in einer Basisplatte 7 aus Hartkunststoff eingegossen und ragen auf der bei Benutzung von einer Steckdose abgewandten Seite über die Basisplatte 7 über, wo sie mit zu den Crimphülsen 3 führenden Metallstanzstück 8 verbunden sind.At the plug bridge 1 plug pins 6 are provided on the plug side according to a desired plug standard, in the present case three plug pins 6a, 6b, 6c for a plug used in the United Kingdom. The plug pins 6a, 6b, 6c are cast in a base plate 7 made of hard plastic and protrude on the side facing away in use from a socket on the base plate 7, where they are connected to the Crimphülsen 3 leading metal stamping piece 8.

Die Crimphülse 3a für die Verbindung mit dem MasseSteckerstift 6a ist unmittelbar mit der zugehörigen Crimphülse 3a über ein einzelnes Metallstück 8a verbunden. Gleiches gilt für die Crimphülse 6b, die über ein Metallstück 8b mit dem Steckerstift 6b verbunden ist.The crimping sleeve 3a for connection to the ground connector pin 6a is directly connected to the associated crimping sleeve 3a via a single piece of metal 8a. The same applies to the crimp sleeve 6b, which is connected via a metal piece 8b with the pin 6b.

Der dritte Steckerstift 6c ist mit einem ersten, einen Teil eines Sicherungshalters bildenden Metallstück 8c1 in den abgeschirmten Bereich 5 geführt, der vorliegend zur Aufnahme einer Sicherung dient. Das Metallstück 8c1 ist im Sicherungsbereich 5 klammerförmig gestaltet, um eine Kontaktseite einer Feinsicherung zu klammern. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Sicherungshalterbereiches 5 ist ein weiteres gestanztes und umgebogenes Metallblech 8c2 vorgesehen, das aus dem Bereich hinausführt und in die Crimphülse 3c übergeht und bei Benutzung die andere Feinsicherungsseite kontaktierend klammert.The third pin 6c is guided with a first, a part of a fuse holder forming metal piece 8c1 in the shielded region 5, which serves in this case for receiving a fuse. The metal piece 8c1 is clamp-shaped in the securing area 5 in order to clamp a contact side of a microfuse. On the opposite side of the fuse holder portion 5, another stamped and bent metal sheet 8c2 is provided, which leads out of the region and merges into the crimping sleeve 3c and, in use, clampingly contacts the other fuse-side.

Der Bereich 5 ist von einer Wand 9 umgeben, auf welcher ein Deckel 10 aufsetzbar ist. Der Deckel 10 liegt auf den Rändern der Wand 9 auf und es sind lediglich an den Stellen, an denen die Metallbleche 8c1 und 8c2 durch die Wände treten, Aussparungen gelassen, sowie für jenen Bereich, über welchen das Metallstanzstück 8a vom Massesteckerstift 6a zur Massecrimphülse 3a führt. Im Deckel sind an diesen Stellen entsprechende Aussparungen vorgesehen, von welchen nur die Aussparungen 11a, 11b dargestellt sind. Der Deckel 10 besteht aus Polypropylen.The region 5 is surrounded by a wall 9 on which a lid 10 can be placed. The lid 10 rests on the edges of the wall 9 and recesses are left only at the locations where the metal sheets 8c1 and 8c2 pass through the walls, as well as for the area over which the metal stamping 8a from the ground plug pin 6a to the ground crimp barrel 3a leads. In the lid corresponding recesses are provided at these locations, of which only the recesses 11a, 11b are shown. The lid 10 is made of polypropylene.

Einstückig mit dem Deckel ist ein Ansatz 12 gebildet, der über zwei seitliche Arme 13a, 13b mit dem Deckelbereich 10 verbunden ist. Am Ansatz 12 sind Röhren 14a, 14b, 14c gebildet, die um die Crimphülsen 3a, 3b, 3c herum angeordnet sind, wobei vor diesen eine Schulter gebildet ist und sich die Röhren dann von dieser Schulter nach außen trichterförmig aufweiten. Die kleinere Trichterseite 16 ist dabei kleiner als die lichte Weite der Crimphülsen 3, die Trichtereintrittsöffnung für die Leiterendneaufnahme hingegen ungefähr 1,2-mal so groß wie der Crimphülsenaußendurchmesser, vergleiche Fig. 3.Integral with the lid, a projection 12 is formed, which is connected via two lateral arms 13 a, 13 b with the lid portion 10. At the neck 12 tubes 14a, 14b, 14c are formed, which are arranged around the Crimphülsen 3a, 3b, 3c, wherein before this a shoulder is formed and then the tubes widened funnel-shaped from this shoulder to the outside. The smaller funnel side 16 is smaller than the clear width of the crimp sleeves 3, the funnel entry opening for the Leiterendneaufnahme, however, approximately 1.2 times as large as the Crimphülsenaußendurchmesser, see FIG. 3.

Die Steckerbrücke der vorliegenden Erfindung wird hergestellt und montiert wie folgt:The connector bridge of the present invention is manufactured and assembled as follows:

Zunächst werden die Metallteile 6,8 hergestellt und vereinzelt bereitgehalten. Dann werden drei passende Steckerstifte in einer Form ausgerichtet und unter Bildung der Basisplatte 7 und der Wandbereiche 9 umspritzt. Die Metallteile 8 werden mit den Steckerstiften beziehungsweise dem Sicherungshaltebereich 5 verbunden.First, the metal parts are made 6,8 and kept isolated. Then, three matching connector pins are aligned in a mold and overmolded to form the base plate 7 and the wall portions 9. The metal parts 8 are connected to the plug pins or the fuse holding region 5.

Dann wird ein Deckel 10 hergestellt und von vorne über die Crimphülsen 3 aufgeschoben und auf die Wand 9 aufgesetzt.Then, a lid 10 is made and pushed from the front over the Crimphülsen 3 and placed on the wall 9.

Dabei gelangen die hinteren, proximalen Bereiche 15 der Einführhilfenanordnung 2, d.h. die nicht trichterförmig erweiterten Bereiche um die Crimphülsen 3, was diese auch vor den Auslass 16 des sich auf die Crimphülse 3 hin verjüngenden Trichters zentrieren kann, sofern eine Abweichung von Normtoleranzen vorliegt. Es ist jedoch nicht erforderlich, einen unmittelbaren physischen Kontakt zwischen der Einführhilfenanordnung 2 und der Crimphülse 3 vorzusehen, um die Anordnung leichter montieren zu können. Falls dies gewünscht ist, kann auf der Crimphülsenseite eine Verjüngung des Rohres hin vorgesehen werden, anstatt das Rohr 14 zylindrisch auszubilden.Here, the rear, proximal areas 15 of the Einführhilfenanordnung 2, ie the non-funnel-shaped widened areas around the Crimphülsen 3, which can center them in front of the outlet 16 of the crimp barrel 3 tapering hopper, if there is a deviation from standard tolerances. However, it is not necessary to provide immediate physical contact between the introducer assembly 2 and the crimp barrel 3 in order to facilitate assembly of the assembly. If desired, a taper of the tube may be provided on the crimp sleeve side rather than cylindrically forming the tube 14.

Die Steckerbrücke ist nunmehr fertig hergestellt und kann zur Bildung eines Steckers verwendet werden. Dazu werden abisolierte Leiterenden in den Einführtrichter der Einführhilfenanordnung 2 eingeführt und vercrimpt. Die trichterförmige Verjüngung auf die Crimphülse gewährleistet ein sicheres Eindringen aller Litzen in die Hülsen.The connector bridge is now finished and can be used to form a plug. For this purpose, stripped conductor ends are inserted and crimped into the insertion funnel of the insertion aid assembly 2. The funnel-shaped taper on the crimp sleeve ensures safe penetration of all strands into the sleeves.

Durch das weiche Material der Einführhilfenanordnung 2 und des Deckels 10 ist gewährleistet, dass beim Crimpen kein Splittermaterial auftritt. Die Einführhilfenanordnung ist und bleibt zugleich dabei durch die Fixierung an der Wand 9 über den Deckel 10 und die Arme 13 sowie zusätzlich die Anordnung um die Crimphülsen 3 exakt richtig positioniert.The soft material of the introducer assembly 2 and the lid 10 ensures that no splinter material occurs during crimping. The Einführhilfenanordnung is and remains at the same time by the fixation on the wall 9 via the lid 10 and the arms 13 and in addition the arrangement about the Crimphülsen 3 accurately positioned correctly.

Nun wird in einer Gußform der Griffkörper gebildet. Wenn das PVC-Gussmaterial einfließt, so ist durch die Einführhilfenanordnung 2 sicher vermieden, dass noch Litzen aus dem Griffkörper im Freien oder an der Griffkörper-Oberfläche liegen können. Durch die nur dünnen Durchlassschlitze zwischen Dekkel 10 und Metallstreifen 8 ist überdies gewährleistet, dass allenfalls vernachlässigbar wenig PVC-Gussmaterial in den abzuschottenden Bereich 5 hineingelangt. Dies wird insbesondere dadurch bewirkt, dass an dem gut wärmeleitenden Metallblech das PVC-Gussmaterial, welches durch die Schlitze eindringt, zunächst abkühlt und damit einen Stopfen gegen nachströmendes Material bildet. Die Beabstandung der Arme 13 erlaubt hingegen ein sicheres Auffüll.en des Steckers im Crimphülsenbereich mit PVC und erhöht so die mechanische Stabilität des Stekkers.Now, the handle body is formed in a mold. If the PVC casting material flows in, it is reliably avoided by the insertion aid arrangement 2 that strands can still be left outside of the grip body or on the grip body surface. Due to the only thin passage slots between lid 10 and metal strip 8 is also ensured that at most negligible little PVC casting material got into the area to be sealed off. This is effected in particular by virtue of the fact that the PVC casting material which penetrates through the slots initially cools on the metal sheet with good heat conductivity and thus forms a plug against inflowing material. The spacing of the arms 13, however, allows a safe Auffüll.en the plug in the crimp sleeve area with PVC, thus increasing the mechanical stability of the plug.

Die Anordnung von Fig. 4 entspricht jener von Fig. 1 weitgehend, jedoch ist die Einführhilfenanordnung so gestaltet, dass die trichterförmige Erweiterung bündig vor den Einführhülsen liegt und über diese nicht übergreift. Dies reduziert das Gewicht und erlaubt eine andere Ausbildung des Crimpwerkzeuges. The arrangement of FIG. 4 is similar to that of FIG. 1, but the introducer assembly is designed so that the funnel-shaped extension is flush with the introducer sheaths lies and over these does not overlap. This reduces the weight and allows a different design of the crimping tool.
