- the cross-sectional shape of the shaft is polygonal, while the screw has a rounded cross-section. Also possible is a polygonal screw, which has a number of corners, which is significantly higher than the number of corners of the shaft.
- circumferential lengths are adapted to one another causes a slight local deformation of the shaft walls by the introduction of the screw into the polygonal shaft, the shaft wall being locally bent, in particular at the corners of the shaft.
- the shaft wall on the securing device between four and eight corners, wherein the corners can also be performed rounded.
- Cross-sectional shape of the screw is polygonal, while the shaft has a rounded or round cross-section.
- a compression and stretching of the material is locally effected analogous to the previous embodiment, with a total of a complete extension of the shaft circumference is reliably avoided, thereby overloading the shaft during insertion of the screw is prevented.
- the shaft wall preferably consists at least partially of an insulating material.
- the shaft wall is thin-walled in order to increase the elasticity.
- the shaft wall can be of thin-walled construction and can be surrounded radially at least in sections by a trench or the like which preferably extends deeper from the surface than the distance between the securing device and the surface.
- a trench or the like which preferably extends deeper from the surface than the distance between the securing device and the surface.
- the housing consists at least partially of a plastic and in particular of a thermoplastic material which has elastic properties.
- the securing device is arranged at or in the vicinity of the accessible end of the shaft, whereby the required installation depth is limited.
- the securing device comprises at least one inwardly projecting holding device or holder.
- two approximately opposite and in each case inwardly projecting retaining ribs are preferably provided on the housing or on the wall of the shaft. Two opposite holding ribs provide a reliable hold.
- the shaft wall preferably has a phase on its outer side in the region of the securing device.
- the shaft is at least partially made of an insulating material.
- the screw is equipped with an enlarged screw head and a shaft with a threaded section.
- the securing device In the depth of the shaft extends behind the securing device preferably a central portion of the shaft, in which the screw or the screw head is fully circumferentially with game accepted, so that the securing device forms an undercut, which extends over an angular portion or more angular portions or even around extending the shaft around.
- the shaft is formed round and there, the inner circumference of the shaft is significantly larger than the outer circumference of the screw head and the screw.
- the connecting flange according to the invention allows the captive capture of screws with significantly reduced requirement for accuracy of manufacture, so that a more cost-effective production with higher quality is possible.
- connection flange according to the invention in a plan view.
- FIG. 2 shows the connecting flange of Figure 1 in cross-section A-A with a screw shown schematically.
- FIG. 3 shows a screw for the connection flange according to FIG. 1;
- FIG. and Fig. 4 shows the cross sections of the shaft and the
- Fig. 1 is a plan view of the connecting flange 1 according to the invention is shown, which comes in particular for use on electrical terminals. This can be the
- Terminal serve to receive one or more conductors and be provided for example at one or both ends of the housing with a connecting flange according to the invention to attach such a terminal to another component.
- the invention for
- the connecting flange 1 has a housing 2, in which a shaft 3 is provided, in which the screw 4 is received, as is apparent in particular from the illustration of FIG. In Fig. 2, the cross section A-A of Fig. 1 is shown.
- the housing 2 and in particular the shaft wall 5 of the shaft 3 are here in the embodiment made of an elastic material and in particular consist of a thermoplastic material that can be elastically deformed.
- the screw 4 is shown only schematically, which is equipped with a screw head 24 and with a threaded screw shaft 25.
- the screw 4 is captively received in the shaft 3 of the housing 2, so that the state shown in Fig. 2 results in 7, in which the screw is taken captive and in particular in the non-screwed state captive.
- the shaft wall 5 a safety device 6, which is designed in the manner of an undercut and causes the free diameter of the shaft 3 at least one point is smaller than the corresponding diameter of the screw 4 at this point.
- the largest diameter of the screw 4 has a different cross section than the smallest cross section of the shaft 3, while the circumferential lengths of the largest screw cross section and the circumferential length of the smallest shaft cross section are at least approximately matched. This has the consequence that the smallest shaft diameter is greater than the smallest screw diameter, so that the screw 4 is taken captive in the shaft 3 after sweeping the securing device 6.
- the largest diameter 9 of the screw head 24 formed here round greater
- the eight corners 12 of the securing device 6 are provided radially outside of the largest diameter 9 of the screw head 24, so that the screw head 24 by the retaining ribs 14 of the securing device. 6 captive is received in the shaft 3, while the circumferential lengths of the securing device of the screw head are adapted to each other.

- the length of the inner periphery of the securing device 6 is slightly larger than the length of the outer periphery 11th the screw head 24, so that an elongation of the entire circumference of the securing device 6 during insertion the screw 4 is reliably prevented, because in such cases, this can lead to damage to the component.
- the difference of the circumferential lengths may be several percent e.g. 5% or 10% or even 15%. It is essential that the shaft wall 5 can locally deform when sweeping the screw head 24, so that in the elastic deformation substantially a bending and no overstretching of the shaft wall 5 takes place.
- the width of the connecting flange 1 is about 5.4 mm, while the free diameter 20,21 and 22 are equal and amount to about 3.9 ram.
- the free diameter 19 in the region of the securing device 6 is smaller and is here 3.65 mm, while the
- Shaft wall 5 in the region of the accessible end 13 also has a free diameter 18 of 3.9 mm. This means that, in the area of the securing device 6, the free diameter 18 is conditionally reduced by the holding ribs 14 of the securing device 6 from 3.9 to 3.65 mm. Thus, a slight insertion of the screw is made possible in the accessible end 13 of the shaft 3 until the screw abuts the securing device 6.
