An arrangement for electrical lines is set forth which is mounted in a steering column switching module and/or in a steering wheel mounted on the module, equipped with its ends electrically conductively connected to one of the electrical components, which is fixedly mounted in the steering wheel switching module or in the steering wheel mounted thereon. At least two of the lines are connected with their other free ends to electrical contacts, which are arranged in at least one coupling body of insulation material in such a way that they are accessible on the plug-in side thereof. The coupling body is accessible from the outside connected with a plug-in side on or in the steering column switching module of the motor vehicle and, in the assembly position, an electrical line leading to the coupling body is connected through an electrical line leading to the onboard network.

Arrangement for electrical lines mounted in a motor vehicle

A device () for transmitting electrical current and/or signals in a motor vehicle is proposed. The device () has a wind up spring cassette () composed of a stator () and a rotor () in which at least one line () extending in windings is connected with one end thereof to the stator () and with the other end to the rotor (), and at least one fixing element () through which a predetermined relative position for the mounting of the wind up spring cassette () into the motor vehicle is fixed. The fixing element is a foil like label () which is attached to the outside of the wind up spring cassette () and extends from the rotor () to the stator (). The label () is inseparably mechanically secured at the stator () as well as at the rotor ().

Device for transmitting electrical current and/or signals in a motor vehicle

An apparatus for signal and/or current transmission between terminals which can move in relation to one another and which are fitted, on the one hand, on a fixed stator and, on the other hand, on a rotor of a cassette that can rotate about a common axis with the stator. At least one flat ribbon cable, which is equipped with electrical conductors, runs in turns and forms a wound body (W), is arranged within the cassette between the terminals, the ends of the flat ribbon cable being connected to contact parts () for the purpose of connecting ongoing cables. In order to accommodate the complete wound body (W) for its protection during transport and/or during storage, a pot-like cover () is provided which engages around said wound body and is fitted detachably to an essentially disc-shaped carrier ().

Apparatus for signal and/or current transmission between terminals

A device for transmitting signals or current between end points which can be moved relative to one another is specified between which at least two flat ribbon lines (-) extending in turns and accommodated in an essentially circular cassette are arranged which have at least one electrical conductor, t the end points, continuing lines can be connected to the flat ribbon lines (-)&#x2014;The cassette consists of a rotor () which is rotatable about its axis, and a stationary stator (), which enclose between them an annular winding space () for accommodating the flat ribbon lines (-) One of the flat ribbon lines being arranged between one end point each of the rotor () each and one end point of the stator (), in such a manner that it rests against he rotor () with at least one first turn and, after passing through a U-shaped reversing point, against the stator () with at least one second turn, the direction of winding of which is opposite to that of the first turn. All flat ribbon lines (-) used in the device are combined together with a common annular conductor support to form a one-piece unit constructed in the form of a printed circuit, which is arranged in the winding space () of the cassette in the assembled position, and the conductors of the individual flat ribbon lines (-) are continued without interruption in the conductor support.

Device for transmitting signals or current between end points

A contact element is proposed for connecting a ribbon cable (,) with circular conductors (,) wherein the contact element comprises a plurality of mutually insulated parallel conductor strips (,) made of a conductive material, to the one end of which a circular conductor (,) can be attached and the other end of which is provided with a surface (,) to which a strand of the ribbon cable (,) can be fixed through a material connection. A conductor strip (,) has at least one pair of blades (,) between which a circular conductor (,) can be inserted under termination. Furthermore, a rotary connector with such a contact element is described.
