Threaded crosspiece forming method for e.g. fuel tank partition of motor vehicle, involves introducing male and female contacts in male and female sections of channels, respectively to connect rugged shaped connection elements of contacts

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves utilizing a case (6) mounted in an opening (28) of a partition crosspiece. A connection element comprising male and female contacts (13, 12) is utilized for each conductive line, and a stripping plate (7) having traversing channels (22) is utilized. The contacts are introduced in male and female sections (23, 25) of the channels, respectively for connecting rugged shaped connection elements (14, 17) of the contacts. A tighten sealing material is applied between the plate and the case and between the plate and parts of the elements. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a threaded partition crosspiece comprising a conductive line. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for forming a threaded crosspiece that is mounted in an opening arranged in a partition e.g. pressurized liquid medium and atmospheric pressure gaseous environment such as pressurized liquid reservoir and sub-marine application, separating partition, gaseous environment separating partition such as vacuum enclosure partition, pressurized enclosure partition, space craft and a fuel tank partition of a motor vehicle, for the passage or the connection of conductor cables via the partition for electrically or optically connecting equipments e.g. surface analyzer, particle source, robot, manipulator, evaporator, cooling or heating apparatus and measuring apparatus, situated on both sides of the partition, in electronic field, spatial field, material processing field, automobile field, optical field, agri-food industry or medical field. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method can be implemented in a simple manner and permits to obtain the partition having large number of conductive lines per surface unit. The connection elements have rugged shape, thus permitting to limit the risk of propagation of gas leakage along the connection elements, and hence obtaining a perfect hermetic partition crosspiece with reduced fabrication cost by utilizing standard or existing elements, and which is compatible in the utilization of extreme high pressure or vacuum applications. The plate brings the lines close together during the installation of the elements in the case or during the application of the sealing material, thus obtaining the crosspiece having large threaded density. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a sectional view of a longitudinal partition crosspiece. 6 : Case 7 : Stripping plate 12 : Female contact 13 : Male contact 14, 17 : Connection elements 22 : Traversing channels 23 : Male section 25 : Female section 28 : Opening.
