Transmission devices and method for transmitting electric current to a component of a steering wheel of a motor vehicle

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The transmission device (1) has a rotor (2) which is arranged on steering wheel and rotated together with steering wheel. A stator (3) is arranged on a stationary with respect to rotational movement of steering wheel of vehicle component. A conductor element (4) is electrically connected to stator through rotor. The temperature of the conductor element is determined by temperature sensor (5). #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is included for method for transmitting electric current to component of steering wheel of motor vehicle. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Transmission device for transmitting electric current to electrical or electronic component of steering wheel of motor vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The current flowing through conductor element is interrupted, when the temperature measured by the sensor exceeds a threshold, so that the destruction of conductive tape by the effect of temperature can be prevented. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of the transmission device. 1 : Transmission device 2 : Rotor 3 : Stator 4 : Conductor element 5 : Temperature sensor.
