A flexible electrical connection () for electrically contacting a sensor () or a sensor module () includes at least one electrical conductor () extending in an axial length between a moveable component () and a stationary component (). The at least one electrical conductor () is fixed to a sensor housing () via a rigid coupling () and is connected to a housing () of the sensor () or sensor module () via a movable, rotatable coupling (). The at least one electrical conductor () includes first sections () and second sections (), the second sections () including an injected coating. The first sections () have a higher deformation property than the second sections (), and the first sections () do not include an injected coating, or they include an injected coating having the thickness of a film hinge. The first and second sections extend along an axial length of the at least one electrical conductor (), The first sections () have a thickness () that is less than the thickness () of the second sections (). The first and second sections define a hinge of the electrical conductor () by their lengths, such that in a bent position (), a bend () of the at least one electrical conductor () of at least 90&#xb0; is formed within one of said first sections ().

Flexible electrical connection

A mounting element for receiving a sensor has a sensor receptacle having an essentially cylindrical or funnel-shaped geometry. The sensor receptacle has openings for wetting of the sensor by a medium. The sensor is fixed in the sensor receptacle without gaps or play by a filling compound, which is in turn mounted by a mechanical undercut.

A control unit housing, especially for a transmission control module of a transmission of a motor vehicle. The control unit housing includes a first housing part and a second, cover-shaped housing part. A circuit carrier having at least one electronic component is accommodated in the first housing part. The first housing part is designed in the shape of a tub, whose floor is designed as a heat dissipation surface to an additional housing.

An inertia-drive starter is proposed, in the case of which a relay is not required to engage the pinion in the flywheel ring gear () of an internal combustion engine. With this starter, a pushing-forward of the driven shaft () to engage a pinion () in the flywheel ring gear () is brought about by means of a pole tube () located on the stator () of the starter motor (), which said pole tube executes a turning motion around the motor axis when the starter motor () is energized. Means () are provided that convert the turning motion of the pole tube () directly into an axial motion acting on the driven shaft ().

Starter

A starter device for starting internal combustion engines having a starter motor ( ) that comprises a stator ( ) and a rotor ( ) as well as a drive shaft ( ) as starter components ( ), further having a driven element ( ) that can actively be connected to the drive shaft ( ) and the internal combustion engine, and having a brake device ( ) that acts on the driven element ( ) is proposed. The starter device is characterized in that the brake device ( ) can be actuated by means of at least one starter component ( ) by switching on the starter motor ( ).

Insulation element and method for introducing winding elements into grooves on an armature

The invention joins the intake module or intake tube to the engine with the aid of a displaceable retaining element. The retaining element, which in the mounted state is under initial tension, is braced against an engine retention face associated with the engine and against at least one counterpart intake module retention face joined to the intake module or intake tube. Because of the displaceability of the retaining element, the expense and effort of mounting and dismantling the intake module or intake tube to the engine by screws are substantially reduced. The engine is intended in particular for motor vehicles.

In a brake fluid container for hydraulic motor vehicle brake systems having a housing with a fill connector a container cap closing off the fill connector, a filling filter suspended in the fill connector and protruding into the housing interior, and a level switch secured to the container cap for indicating a minimum allowable fill level in the housing in order to attain extensive damping of a float of the level switch with respect to fluid fluctuations caused by vehicle behavior, the filling filter is embodied as a closed float chamber, extending to below the minimum allowable fill level in the housing with guides for the float. On its lower end, the filling filter is provided with a throttle bore located near the minimum allowable fill level and in a region near the maximum fill level, it is provided with filter windows for the sake of rapid filling of the housing with fluid.
