Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kabelsatz für die Anwendung in einem Fahrzeug mit einer beheizbaren Scheibe sowie einer darin integrierten aktiven Antenne gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a cable set for use in a vehicle with a heated disk and an active antenna integrated therein according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Bei modernen Fahrzeugen, insbesondere Personenkraftwagen, ist es bekannt, dass diese eine beheizbare Scheibe (insbesondere Heckscheibe) aufweisen. Zu diesem Zweck weist die Scheibe Strom durchflossene Leiterstrukturen auf, die mit der Energieversorgung des Fahrzeuges verbunden und schaltbar sind. Gleichzeitig werden auch aktive Antennen in die Scheiben integriert und die stromdurchflossenen Leiter und/oder zusätzliche Antennenleiter in der Scheibe für den Signalempfang (Empfang von hochfrequenten Signalen) genutzt. Daher ist es erforderlich, die in die Leiter der Scheibe eingekoppelten Signale wieder auszukoppeln, um sie nachgeschalteten Geräten (wie insbesondere Verstärkern und Empfängern) zuführen zu können. Für diese Signalauskopplung sind Mittel bekannt, die es gestatten, dass einerseits den Leitern in der Scheibe die für die Heizfunktion nötige Energie (im Regelfalle Gleichstrom) zugeführt wird, wobei aber auch über die gleiche Verkabelung die Auskopplung der hochfrequenten Signale ermöglicht wird. Zu diesem Zweck ist schon ein Kabelsatz (sogenannter Sperrkreis) bekannt, der einerseits einen Masseanschluss aufweist, der mit dem Minuspol der Energieversorgung des Fahrzeuges verbunden ist. Über entsprechendes Kabel wird somit dem einen Pol der Heizleiter der Scheibe über einen Energieanschluss zugeführt, während das andere Ende der Heizleiter mit dem zweiten Pol der Energieversorgung (Pluspol) verbunden ist. Damit muss für den Anschluss des Kabelsatzes zur Energieversorgung ein erster Steckkontakt vorhanden sein. Ein weiterer Steckkontakt ist erforderlich, um einen Signalanschluss zu realisieren, mit dem die hochfrequenten Signale über die Mittel zur Signalauskopplung ausgekoppelt und zur weiteren Verarbeitung den nachgeschalteten Geräten zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Steckkontakte zur lösbaren Verbindung des Energieanschlusses und des Signalanschlusses mit ihren Gegenanschlüssen sind zwecks Austausches der Geräte bzw. der Scheibe unabdingbar. Aus dieser bekannten Anordnung resultiert ein hoher Teileaufwand, da für jeden Anschluss ein eigenständiger Kontakt mit Gehäuse vorgehalten werden muss. Dies führt in der Produktion und der anschließenden Teileverwaltung zu hohen Kosten, insbesondere zu einem verwaltungstechnischen Aufwand sowie zu hohen Dispositionskosten. Außerdem ist es bei der späteren Montage des Kabelsatzes aufwändig, die einzelnen Anschlüsse mit ihren Gegenstücken zu verbinden.In modern vehicles, in particular passenger cars, it is known that they have a heated disc (especially rear window). For this purpose, the disk has current-carrying conductor structures, which are connected to the power supply of the vehicle and switchable. At the same time, active antennas are integrated into the panes and the current-carrying conductors and / or additional antenna conductors in the pane are used for signal reception (reception of high-frequency signals). Therefore, it is necessary to decouple the injected into the head of the disc signals to be able to feed them downstream devices (in particular amplifiers and receivers) can. Means are known for this signal extraction, which make it possible for the conductors in the pane to be supplied with the energy required for the heating function (as a rule direct current), but the high-frequency signals can also be coupled out via the same cabling. For this purpose, a cable set (so-called blocking circuit) is already known, on the one hand has a ground terminal, which is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply of the vehicle. By means of a corresponding cable, the heating conductor of the disk is thus supplied to one pole via an energy connection, while the other end of the heating conductor is connected to the second pole of the energy supply (positive pole). Thus, a first plug-in contact must be present for the connection of the harness to the power supply. Another plug contact is required in order to realize a signal connection with which the high-frequency signals via the means for Coupled signal extraction and provided for further processing the downstream devices. Plug contacts for the detachable connection of the power connection and the signal connection with their counter connections are essential for the replacement of the devices or the disc. From this known arrangement results in a high parts cost, since for each connection an independent contact with housing must be kept. This leads to high costs in production and the subsequent parts management, in particular to an administrative effort as well as to high disposition costs. In addition, it is costly in the subsequent assembly of the cable set to connect the individual ports with their counterparts.

Die nicht vorveröffentlichte WO 2005/078858 A1 zeigt einen Kabelsatz für die Anwendung in einem Fahrzeug mit einer beheizbaren Scheibe sowie einer darin integrierten aktiven Antenne, wobei zwei in einem Verbindergehäuse angeordnete Anschlüsse über zwei Zuleitungen Mittel zur Auskopplung von hochfrequenten Signalen, die von der aktiven Antenne empfangen werden, zugeführt werden. An diesen Mitteln sind zwei weitere Zuleitungen angeschlossen, die an einer weiteren Empfangsantenne angeschlossen sind.The not pre-published WO 2005/078858 A1 shows a harness for use in a vehicle with a heated disc and an integrated therein active antenna, wherein two arranged in a connector housing terminals via two leads means for coupling high-frequency signals that are received by the active antenna, respectively. Two further supply lines, which are connected to a further receiving antenna, are connected to these means.

Aus der DE 100 06 211 A1 ist eine formgebend umspritzte, elektrische und/oder elektronische Komponente bekannt, wobei die Komponente in ein Kunstharz eingebettet ist und dieses Kunstharz eine feste, thermoplastische, unter Niederdruckbedingungen verarbeitbare Hotmelt-Formmasse auf Polyamid-Basis ist. Diese Komponente ist in der DE 100 06 211 A1 in Verbindung mit Heckscheiben-Antennen-Systemen in Kraftfahrzeugen erläutert. Dieser Sperrkreis weist zwei elektrische Zuleitungen auf, die mit elektronischen Bauteilen verschaltet sind (Figur 6), wobei ausgangsseitig dieses Sperrkreises elektrische Ableitungen angeordnet sind.From the DE 100 06 211 A1 is a molding overmolded, electrical and / or electronic component is known, wherein the component is embedded in a synthetic resin and this resin is a solid, thermoplastic, processable under low pressure conditions polyamide-based hotmelt molding composition. This component is in the DE 100 06 211 A1 explained in connection with rear window antenna systems in motor vehicles. This blocking circuit has two electrical leads, which are connected to electronic components (Figure 6), wherein the output side of this trap electrical discharge are arranged.

Die DE 44 01 819 A1 offenbart einen Sperrkreis für die Anwendung in einem Fahrzeug mit einer beheizbaren Scheibe sowie einer darin integrierten aktiven Antenne, wobei der Sperrkreis einen Masseanschluß und einen zweipoligen Energieanschluß mit einer Plus-Leitung und einer Minus-Leitung aufweist.The DE 44 01 819 A1 discloses a trap circuit for use in a vehicle having a heatable disc and an active antenna integrated therein, the trap circuit having a ground terminal and a bipolar power terminal having a plus and a minus lead.

Die DE 102 36 888 A1 betrifft ein Gehäuse für ein elektrisches Gerät, beispielsweise für eine Antriebseinheit, wobei das elektrische Gerät wenigstens einen aus seinem Gehäuse herausgeführten Kabelsatz mit wenigstens einem elektrischen Anschlußelement und mit einem Kontakte dieses Anschlußelementes aufnehmenden Anschlußgehäuse aufweist, wobei weiterhin das Anschlußgehäuse von wenigstens einem Anschlußgehäuseteil gebildet ist und das wenigstens eine Anschlußgehäuseteil mit dem Gerätegehäuse oder mit einem dieses Gehäuse bildenden Gehäuseteil lösbar oder abtrennbar verbunden ist.The DE 102 36 888 A1 relates to a housing for an electrical device, for example for a drive unit, wherein the electrical device has at least one led out of its housing cable set with at least one electrical connection element and with a contact of this connection element receiving terminal housing, wherein further the terminal housing is formed by at least one terminal housing part and the at least one connection housing part is detachably or detachably connected to the device housing or to a housing part forming this housing.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen entsprechenden Kabelsatz (Sperrkreis) bereitzustellen, mit dem die eingangs geschilderten Nachteile vermieden werden. Es soll vor allen Dingen die Teilevielfalt verringert und die Montage des Kabelsatzes im Fahrzeug vereinfacht werden.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a corresponding set of cables (blocking circuit), with which the disadvantages described above are avoided. Above all, the variety of parts should be reduced and the assembly of the cable harness in the vehicle should be simplified.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass der Energieanschluss und der Signalanschluss gemeinsam in einem Verbindergehäuse angeordnet sind., wobei der Energieanschluss und der Signalanschluss über jeweils ein Kabel mit den Mitteln zur Auskopplung von hochfrequenten Signalen und der Masseanschluss über ein einziges Kabel mit den Mitteln zur Auskopplung von hochfrequenten Signalen verbunden ist. Dadurch verringert sich zum einen die Teilevielfalt, da mehrere Anschlüsse in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse angeordnet werden. Das wiederum führt zu niedrigeren Werkzeugkosten zur Herstellung von den Anschlüssen und dem Gehäuse und nach der Herstellung zu geringeren Dispositionskosten, da weniger Teile verwaltet werden müssen. Außerdem vereinfacht sich die Montage, da die zumindest beiden Anschlüsse in das Verbindergehäuse gebracht und anschließend dieser fertige Steckverbinder mit seinen Gegenverbindern in Verbindung gebracht werden kann. Dies führt insgesamt also zu einer schnelleren Produktmontage, da insgesamt weniger Bauteile verarbeitet werden müssen. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, dass der gesamte Bauraum für die Anschlüsse reduziert werden kann, so dass sich eine kompakte Bauweise ergibt. Dies ist gerade bei der hohen Integrationsdichte von Bauteilen bei modernen Fahrzeugen besonders wichtig, da für diese Bauteile, die für den Bediener des Fahrzeuges nicht sichtbar angeordnet werden, immer weniger Bauraum zur Verfügung steht.According to the invention, the energy connection and the signal connection are arranged together in a connector housing. The energy connection and the signal connection are in each case via a cable with the means for decoupling high-frequency signals and the ground connection via a single cable with the means for decoupling high-frequency signals Signals is connected. As a result, on the one hand reduces the variety of parts, since multiple connections are arranged in a common housing. This in turn leads to lower tooling costs for the manufacture of the terminals and the housing and after production at lower disposition costs, since fewer parts have to be managed. In addition, the assembly is simplified because the at least two terminals can be brought into the connector housing and then this finished connector can be associated with its mating connectors. Overall, this leads to a faster product assembly, since fewer components must be processed. Another advantage is the fact that the total space for the connections can be reduced, resulting in a compact design. This is Especially with the high integration density of components in modern vehicles particularly important because less and less space is available for these components, which are not visible to the operator of the vehicle visible.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die in dem Verbindergehäuse angeordneten Kontakte für den Energieanschluss und den Signalanschluss gleichartig ausgebildet, insbesondere als Steckkontakte ausgebildet. Dadurch reduziert sich weiter die Teilevielfalt, da nur noch ein einziger Kontakt verwendet wird. Dieser ist in besonders vorteilhafter Weise als Steckkontakt ausgebildet, wobei es sich aber auch um einen Buchsenkontakt handeln kann.In a further development of the invention, the contacts arranged in the connector housing for the power connection and the signal connection are of a similar design, in particular designed as plug-in contacts. This further reduces the variety of parts, since only a single contact is used. This is designed in a particularly advantageous manner as a plug contact, but it may also be a socket contact.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist das Verbindergehäuse eine Kodierung auf. Eine solche Kodierung hat den Vorteil, dass beim Aufstecken des Verbindergehäuses auf den Gegenpart keine Verwechselung von Signal- und Energieanschluss erfolgen kann. Diese Kodierung ist in besonders vorteilhafter Weise so gestaltet, dass das z.B. als Steckergehäuse ausgestaltete Verbindergehäuse nur in einer einzigen Position zu dem Buchsengehäuse zusammengesteckt werden kann. In einem solchen Fall bietet es sich an, innerhalb des Verbindergehäuses unterschiedlich große Kammern oder Vorsprünge, Laschen, oder dergleichen zu verwenden. Neben solchen mechanisch wirkenden Kodierungen sind auch z.B. farbliche Kodierungen denkbar. Im Regelfall werden die Gegenstecker separat voneinander angeschlossen. Das heißt mit einem Steckergehäuse werden mehr als eine Buchse verbunden. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, das Verbindergehäuse mit nur einem Gegenstecker zu verbinden.In a further development of the invention, the connector housing has a coding. Such encoding has the advantage that when plugging the connector housing on the counterpart no confusion of signal and power connection can be made. This coding is particularly advantageously designed so that the e.g. configured as a connector housing connector housing can be assembled only in a single position to the socket housing. In such a case it makes sense to use within the connector housing different sized chambers or projections, tabs, or the like. In addition to such mechanically acting codes, e.g. color codings conceivable. As a rule, the mating connectors are connected separately. That is, more than one jack is connected to a connector housing. However, it is also possible to connect the connector housing with only one mating connector.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben sowie in der folgenden Figurenbeschreibung erläutert, wobei ein Ausführungsbeispiel in den Figuren gezeigt ist, auf das die Erfindung jedoch nicht beschränkt ist.Further embodiments are specified in the subclaims and explained in the following description of the figures, wherein an embodiment is shown in the figures, to which the invention is not limited.

Figur 1 zeigt eine dreidimensionale Ansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Kabelsatzes, der insbesondere für die Anwendung in einem Fahrzeug mit einer beheizbare Scheibe (insbesondere Heckscheibe) sowie einer darin integrierten aktiven Antenne (Antennenleiter in der Scheibe) ausgebildet ist. Dieser Kabelsatz (Sperrkreis) 1, der mehrere Elemente miteinander elektrisch verbindet, weist zunächst einen Masseanschluss 2 auf, wobei weiterhin ein noch zu beschreibender Energieanschluss 3 und ein ebenfalls noch zu beschreibender Signalanschluss 4 vorhanden sind. Die genannten Anschlüsse 2, 3, 4 (jeweils einfach oder gegebenenfalls mehrfach vorhanden) sind mit Mitteln 5 zur Signalauskopplung verbunden. Bei diesen Mitteln 5 zur Signalauskopplung handelt es sich um elektronische Bauteile wie Spulen, Kondensatoren und dergleichen, die in Abhängigkeit der verwendeten integrierten aktiven Antenne und der dafür erforderlichen Signalauskopplung miteinander verschaltet und dementsprechend dimensioniert sind. Wichtig ist, dass der Kabelsatz (Sperrkreis) 1 diese Mittel 5 zur Signalauskopplung aufweist, wobei die Verschaltung der einzelnen Bestandteile der Mittel 5 hier nur von untergeordneter Bedeutung ist. Daher wird auf diese interne Verschaltung der Mittel 5 auch nicht weiter eingegangen. Der Masseanschluss 2 ist über ein Kabel 6 mit den Mitteln 5 verbunden, wobei der Masseanschluss 2 beispielsweise als Kabelschuh ausgebildet ist, die z.B. mit einem Karosserieteil des Fahrzeuges verschraubt werden kann. Angebunden ist dieser Masseanschluss 2 beispielsweise über einen Crimpanschluss 7 an dem elektrischen Leiter des Kabels 6. Weiterhin sind die Mittel 5 zur Signalauskopplung jeweils mit einem Kabel 8, 9 mit dem Energieanschluss 3 bzw. dem Signalanschluss 4 verbunden. Auch hierbei handelt es sich, wie bei dem Kabel 6, um Litzenkabel, da diese besonders flexibel innerhalb des Fahrzeuges verlegbar sind. Andere Bauformen für Kabel, wie z.B. Flachleiterkabel, können auch verwendet werden. An dem den Mitteln 5 abgewandten Ende der Kabel 8, 9 sind diese zu einem einzigen Verbindergehäuse 10 zusammengeführt, wobei bei diesem in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel das Verbindergehäuse 10 als Steckergehäuse ausgebildet ist. Zu diesem Zweck sind auch die darin befindlichen Kontakte für den Energieanschluss 3 sowie den Signalanschluss 4 als Steckkontakte und gleichartig ausgebildet. Buchsenkontakte sind ebenfalls denkbar. Auch die Steckkontakte der Anschlüsse 3, 4, können mittels Crimpen oder einer anderweitigen Verbindung angeschlossen sein. Das Verbindergehäuse 10 besteht beispielsweise aus Kunststoff und kann in einem Kunststoff-Spritzgussverfahren einfach und kostengünstig hergestellt werden. Dadurch vereinfacht sich auch die gesamte Montage des Kabelsatzes 1, da in diesem einzigen Verbindergehäuse 10 die entsprechenden Anschlüsse, 3, 4 (oder gegebenenfalls mehr) eingesetzt werden können. Bei der anschließenden Montage des Kabelsatzes 1 braucht nur noch dieses einzige Verbindergehäuse 10 mit seinem Gegengehäuse zusammengesetzt werden. Dieses Gegengehäuse, das hier nicht Bestandteil der Erfindung ist, ist z.B. fest auf der Scheibe angeordnet oder mit den entsprechenden Leitern in der Scheibe über Kabel oder sonstige Verbindungen miteinander verbunden. FIG. 1 shows a three-dimensional view of a cable set according to the invention, which is in particular for use in a vehicle with a heated disc (especially rear window) and an integrated therein active antenna (antenna conductor in the disc) is formed. This cable set (blocking circuit) 1, which electrically connects a plurality of elements to one another, initially has a ground connection 2, with a power connection 3 still to be described and a signal connection 4 also to be described still being present. Said terminals 2, 3, 4 (each simple or possibly multiple times) are connected to means 5 for signal extraction. These means 5 for signal extraction are electronic components such as coils, capacitors and the like, which are interconnected depending on the integrated active antenna used and the signal extraction required for this purpose and dimensioned accordingly. It is important that the cable set (blocking circuit) 1 has these means 5 for signal extraction, the interconnection of the individual components of the means 5 is only of minor importance here. Therefore, this internal interconnection of the means 5 is also not discussed further. The ground terminal 2 is connected via a cable 6 to the means 5, wherein the ground terminal 2 is formed for example as a cable lug, which can be bolted to a body part of the vehicle, for example. This ground terminal 2 is connected to the electrical conductor of the cable 6, for example via a crimp connection 7. Furthermore, the means 5 for decoupling signals are each connected to the power connection 3 or the signal connection 4 by a cable 8, 9. Again, this is, as in the cable 6, stranded cable, as they are very flexible installation within the vehicle. Other types of cable, such as flat cable, can also be used. At the end of the cable 8, 9 remote from the means 5, these are combined to form a single connector housing 10, wherein in this in FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment, the connector housing 10 is formed as a connector housing. For this purpose are also those in it Contacts for the power terminal 3 and the signal terminal 4 as plug contacts and similar. Socket contacts are also conceivable. The plug contacts of the terminals 3, 4, can be connected by crimping or another connection. The connector housing 10 consists for example of plastic and can be easily and inexpensively manufactured in a plastic injection molding process. This also simplifies the entire assembly of the cable set 1, since in this single connector housing 10, the corresponding terminals, 3, 4 (or possibly more) can be used. In the subsequent assembly of the cable set 1 only this single connector housing 10 needs to be assembled with its counter housing. This counter housing, which is not part of the invention here, for example, is fixedly arranged on the disc or connected to the corresponding conductors in the disc via cables or other compounds.

Schematisch ist in Figur 1 noch dargestellt, dass die Mittel 5 zwischen den Anschlüssen 2, 3, 4 angeordnet sind und zum Schutz vor äußeren Einflüssen (insbesondere wie Feuchtigkeit, Schmutzpartikeln und dergleichen) in einem Gehäuse angeordnet. Zur flexiblen Montage des Kabelsatzes 1 ist dieses Gehäuse von einem Schrumpfschlauch 11 gebildet, der über die elektronischen Bauteile, wie Spulen, Kondensatoren und dergleichen, und die Enden der Kabel 6, 8, 9 übergeschoben und anschließend mittels Wärmeeinwirkung zum Schrumpfen gebracht wird, um die darin innenliegenden Teile dichtend abzuschließen. Anstelle eines flexiblen Schrumpfschlauches ist auch ein starres Gehäuse, z.B. aus Kunststoff mit einem Ober- und Unterteil, denkbar. Ein solches starres Gehäuse würde gegebenenfalls die Festlegung des Kabelsatzes 1 an einem Karosserieteil oder einem sonstigen Teil des Fahrzeuges ermöglichen.Schematically is in FIG. 1 shown that the means 5 between the terminals 2, 3, 4 are arranged and arranged to protect against external influences (in particular, such as moisture, dirt particles and the like) in a housing. For flexible mounting of the cable set 1, this housing is formed by a shrink tube 11, which is pushed over the electronic components such as coils, capacitors and the like, and the ends of the cables 6, 8, 9 and then brought to shrink by means of heat to the seal inside parts in a sealed manner. Instead of a flexible shrink tube and a rigid housing, for example made of plastic with a top and bottom, conceivable. Such a rigid housing would possibly allow the definition of the cable set 1 to a body part or any other part of the vehicle.

Figur 2 zeigt den Steckverbinder (Verbindergehäuse 10 mit darin angeordneten Anschlüssen 3, 4) gemäß Figur 1, wobei hier erkennbar ist, dass das Verbindergehäuse 10 weitestgehend symmetrisch ausgebildet ist und lediglich innerhalb einer Kammer, in der der Steckkontakt angeordnet ist, noch eine Kodierung 12 in Form eines Vorsprunges ausgebildet ist. Diese Kodierung 12 verhindert ein Vertauschen der Anschlüsse 3, 4 mit ihren Gegenanschlüssen, wenn das Verbindergehäuse 10 des Kabelsatzes 1 mit entsprechenden Buchsen oder einer Buchse zusammengesteckt wird. FIG. 2 shows the connector (connector housing 10 with terminals 3, 4 arranged therein) according to FIG. 1 , wherein it can be seen here that the connector housing 10 is largely symmetrical and only within a chamber in which the plug contact is arranged, a coding 12 is formed in the form of a projection. This coding 12 prevents a Interchanging the terminals 3, 4 with their mating terminals when the connector housing 10 of the cable set 1 is mated with corresponding sockets or a socket.

Der Kabelsatz 1, wie er in Figur 1 gezeigt ist, hat darüber hinaus noch den Vorteil, dass er als eigenständiges Modul gefertigt und darüber hinaus auf seine Funktionstüchtigkeit geprüft werden kann. Außerdem erlaubt das Verbindergehäuse 10 mit den darin angeordneten Anschlüssen 3, 4 nicht nur eine Montagevereinfachung, sondern eine einfache Anpassung an die räumlichen und elektronischen Gegebenheiten, da die dahinter liegenden Bauteile diesen Gegebenheiten ohne weiteres angepasst werden können. So kann beispielsweise für einen einzigen Fahrzeughersteller als Standard ein und dasselbe Verbindergehäuse 10 eingesetzt werden und die dahinter liegenden Teile den einzelnen Modellen dieses Fahrzeugherstellers angepasst werden.The cable set 1, as in FIG. 1 is shown, moreover, has the advantage that it can be manufactured as an independent module and also tested for its functionality. In addition, the connector housing 10 with the terminals 3, 4 arranged therein not only simplifies assembly, but also allows simple adaptation to the spatial and electronic conditions, since the components lying behind can readily be adapted to these conditions. For example, one and the same connector housing 10 can be used as standard for a single vehicle manufacturer, and the parts behind it can be adapted to the individual models of this vehicle manufacturer.

Abschließend wird noch darauf hingewiesen, dass der Kabelsatz 1 für sich alleine beansprucht wird und die übrigen mit ihm zu verbindenden Teile wie Stromversorgung, Scheibe und dergleichen des Fahrzeuges, nicht Bestandteil der Schutzbeanspruchung sind.Finally, it should be noted that the harness 1 is claimed by itself and the other parts to be connected with it, such as power supply, windscreen and the like of the vehicle, are not part of the protective stress.
