A liquid crystal display having a liquid crystal cell ( ) has electrical heating formed by an electrically conductive heating layer ( ) on a substrate ( ). On opposite sides, a clamp ( ) forming a busbar in each case reaches over the substrate ( ) and bears on the heating layer ( ) by a limb ( ). For connection to the heating current source, a spring element ( ) is arranged between a limb ( ) of the clamp ( ) and a printed circuit board ( ).

Liquid crystal display including heating layer and two bus bars formed by a clamp having two limbs

A combination instrument ( ) for displaying measured values and/or other information, having a flexible printed circuit ( ) on which electrical and/or electronic components ( ) are arranged, and with parts of the flexible printed circuit ( ) being clamped in between a rear face cover ( ) and a front face cover ( ), with the rear face cover ( ) to be made of metallic material.

Combination instrument for displaying measured values and/or other information, in particular for use in a motor vehicle

A pointer instrument having a connecting sleeve ( ) which holds an essentially transparent pointer ( ), and an illuminating means ( ) that radiates directly into a f lag ( ) of the pointer ( ) the connecting sleeve ( ) having conductors ( ), ) and contact surfaces ( ) of conductive plastic. At its end facing away from the pointer ( ), the connecting sleeve ( ) has connecting contacts ( ) for making contact with a power supply of a circuit board ( ).

Pointer instrument

An instrument cluster has a rigid printed circuit board ( ) on the rear side of a basic ( ). On the front side, the basic body ( ) is partially covered by a supporting body ( ) which is connected in an articulated manner to the basic body ( ). A flexible printed circuit board ( ) extends over the front side of the basic body ( ) and the supporting body ( ), the printed circuit board having a connecting region ( ) which is deflected by a defined angle with respect to an edge region of the rigid printed circuit board ( ) and is connected to this printed circuit board ( ) by bow-type soldering ( ) for example.

Instrument cluster

A combination instrument for a motor vehicle, having a front frame and a display panel and a plurality of display instruments and warning lights which are arranged on a printed circuit board and are provided for displaying information on the display panel. The front frame is produced integrally with light shafts which lead from the warning lights to the display panel. In the region of the warning lights, the display panel is formed by a diaphragm screen which is adhesively bonded to the front frame and is produced as a film. The light shafts simultaneously serve as spacers for the printed circuit board.

Combination instrument

A pointer instrument having a connecting sleeve (,) which holds an essentially transparent pointer (,), and an illuminating means (,) that radiates directly into a flag (,) of the pointer (,), the connecting sleeve (,) having conductors (,),,) and contact surfaces (,) of conductive plastic. At its end facing away from the pointer (,), the connecting sleeve (,) has connecting contacts (,) for making contact with a power supply of a circuit board (,).

A multipole electric motor having a plurality of pole laminations (,) guided from ends of coils (,) to a permanent magnet (,) of a rotor (,), the pole laminations (,) are firstly produced as a coherent sheet-metal part, and is partially injection-coated with a plastic. Subsequently, the pole laminations (,) are separated from one another by means of a laser beam, for example. This renders the mounting of the pole laminations (,) particularly simple.
