Definitions
- the present invention is concerned with a holding device for fastening conductor foils and represents an additional application to the German patent application / patent 100 07 860.5.
- the parent application is incorporated in its entirety in all aspects by reference.
- Conductor foils are used increasingly, especially in the automotive sector. Until now, it was customary to provide cable harnesses for supplying electrical consumers and for signal transmission in automobiles. These cable harnesses have to be manufactured manually, have a high weight and a large thickness due to the individual insulation of the cables used, and are difficult to contact. On the other hand, conductor foils can be produced with a large number of conductor tracks running next to one another, insulation only being required on the surface, while the conductor tracks are already insulated from one another by spacing. The use of sufficiently wide conductor tracks also allows the conductor arrangement to be made very thin. In order to be able to make full use of these advantages, it is necessary to fix the conductor foil along its course without significantly increasing the thickness.
- the object of the present invention is to provide something new for commercial use and, in particular, but not exclusively, to provide a holding device for fastening conductor foils, which permits simple assembly and disassembly of conductor foils and, moreover, ensures that components can be retrofitted by attaching new conductor foils.
- the task of the additional application is to provide a further and particularly inexpensive embodiment.
- the invention thus first proposes a holding device for fastening conductor foils with a base plate to be attached to a fastening surface and a fixing button which can be placed thereon and which comprises at least a part of a retaining arrangement intended for insertion through a through hole provided in the conductor foil in order to be in the first position to be able to attach a conductor foil and fix it in the second, whereby it is provided that the fixing button comprises an arm which projects up on one side and overlaps the conductor foil and the restraint arrangement is formed as a retaining finger arranged thereon and reaching back over the conductor foil.
- a first essential aspect of the invention is thus to be seen in the fact that a multi-part holding device is provided with which the conductor foil can be releasably clamped.
- the fixation is carried out by a retaining finger, which allows the fixation button to be formed in one piece. Nevertheless, by articulating the restraining finger on an arm and fastening it on one side of the fi xierknopfes achieved that in a later stage a removal of the conductor film from the holding device and / or the assembly of a further conductor film is possible.
- the base plate and preferably also the fixing button are formed from plastic, which on the one hand is electrically insulating and on the other hand is sufficiently flexible to enable the fixing of the fixing conductor foil.
- the base plate is preferably glued to the mounting surface and / or welded on by means of ultrasonic welding.
- the back can be complementary to the mounting surface shape. In the case of flat fastening surfaces, the rear side will in particular be made flat.
- locking elements are provided on the base plate, on which the fixing button or parts thereof can be locked. It is also possible that locking elements prevent the fixing button from falling down in the first position and fix it in a second position in such a way that the conductor foil is clamped in.
- this can be provided for the locking elements on the base plate, which makes it easier to locate the locking elements.
- these can be ribs which run radially towards the latching elements and in particular form a rib cross. Such ribs are easily palpable on the one hand in inaccessible and invisible places and on the other hand increase the stability of the arrangement.
- a protective wall can be provided on the base plate for the latching elements in order to limit their deflection and thus prevent them from breaking off.
- the conductor foil with elongated holes.
- a length tolerance of the conductor foil course or an assembly tolerance for the base plate can be achieved, and on the other hand, it is possible to put the conductor foil over the fixing button in a particularly simple manner.
- the fixing button consists of one part, which makes its manufacture cheaper.
- Pressure cams or the like are preferably provided on the fixing button, specifically as a means of preventing a conductor film to be attached but not yet clamped from sliding down and / or restricting its movement.
- the arrangement is preferably dimensioned in order to allow the clamping of at least two typically 0.3 to 0.4 mm thick conductor foils, wherein preferably also a conductor foil only 0.15 mm thick can also be clamped. It is preferred if the fixing finger is connected elastically to the arm, since this prevents the arrangement from breaking or splintering, and ensures the vibration resistance required in the automotive sector and sufficient assembly / disassembly.
- the fixing finger is chamfered on the fixing finger side facing away from the insertion direction, because this prevents the conductor foil from being pulled out secures particularly well; pulling out is only possible if d
- FIG. 6 shows a further fixing button according to the present invention
- 7a shows the fixing button in section
- Fig. 7b shows a detail of Fig. 7a
- a holding device, generally designated 1, for fastening conductor foils 1 comprises a base plate 2 to be attached to a fastening surface (not shown) and a fixing button 3 which can be plugged onto the base plate 2.
- the base plate 2 is designed for attachment to a flat base surface with a flat rear side 4, is circular in the embodiment shown and has a circular opening 5 in the center, with which the fixing button 3 can be inserted.
- a protective wall 7 Around the opening 5 there are two diametrically opposed locking hooks 6a, 6b, the movement of which is limited by a protective wall 7 away from the opening.
- the protective wall 7 is adjoined by radially outward-running adjustment ribs 8, which have a palpable height.
- the protective wall 7 runs around the central opening 5 and, in addition to the latching lugs 6a, 6b, has a segment surface 9 in order to facilitate the insertion of the fixing button 3.
- the fixing button 3 which has been further developed in accordance with the additional application, consists of a generally round base 60, of which rather a strut 62 protrudes on one side 61.
- An arm 63 extends from the strut 62 over the base 60, but not completely to the diametrically opposite side, which forms an arc which, when the conductor track foil is mounted, is closest to this in the center.
- Pressure cams 64 are provided on the underside of the arm 63 for resting on the conductor track foil.
- a finger 65 is provided, which extends towards the strut 62 back over the conductor surface and lies below the plane 66 of the mounted conductor track film.
- the finger 65 is provided with a surface 67 which is bevelled away from the strut from bottom to top.
- one or more elongated holes 50 are introduced into a conductor foil for automobile manufacture, see FIG. 3.
- the elongated holes 50 are preferably m one
- Isolation region 51 is punched between two practically insulating regions 52a, 52b or is introduced in some other way.
- the base plate is attached to the intended location in the automobile and the fixing button is inserted in an aligned manner.
- the conductor track film can be inserted, whereupon it is secured against being pulled out by the finger 65.
- the strut-side through hole edge slides on the finger edge 67 and prints it further down.
- the arm can also be raised from the front without tools, slightly from the base plate and the conductor track film can be removed.
- base plate and fixing button according to the present invention could optionally be formed in one piece.
