STRAIN RELIEF DEVICE AND PLUG CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305039 titled 'STRAIN RELIEF DEVICE AND PLUG CONNECTOR
The patent application describes a strain relief device that includes a lamella element with a base element and a through-opening for feeding through a strand-shaped element parallel to an axial direction, along with a projecting lamella and a clamping body.
- The lamella element consists of a base element with a through-opening and a projecting lamella.
- The clamping body, which is annular in shape, is rotatably arranged on the lamella element outside the lamella.
- The front portion of the lamella facing away from the base element is ramp-shaped on its outer side facing the clamping body, with a distance to the through-opening that increases along the direction of rotation.
- The clamping body has at least one projection that projects radially inward and couples with the front portion of the lamella during rotation, displacing the lamella away from the clamping body.
Potential Applications: - Electrical cables - Wiring harnesses - Automotive industry - Aerospace industry
Problems Solved: - Prevents strain on cables and wires - Secures connections - Reduces wear and tear
Benefits: - Improved cable management - Enhanced durability - Easy installation and maintenance
Commercial Applications: The strain relief device can be used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and telecommunications for securing and protecting cables and wires.
Questions about the strain relief device: 1. How does the ramp-shaped front portion of the lamella help in strain relief? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this strain relief device in industrial applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
a strain relief device. the strain relief device includes: a lamella element with a base element with a through-opening, set up for feeding through a strand-shaped element substantially parallel to an axial direction, and a lamella which projects from the base element along the axial direction; a clamping body, annular in shape and arranged rotatably on the lamella element radially outside the lamella; wherein the lamella, in a front portion facing away from the base element, is ramp-shaped on its outer side facing the clamping body in the direction of rotation, with a distance to the through-opening that increases along the direction of rotation, and the clamping body has at least one projection projecting radially inward, couples with the front portion of the lamella when there is a rotation of the clamping body and displaces the lamella in a direction away from the clamping body.
