Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A cable harness comprising a protective tube having a corrugated surface, electrical lines within the tube, a multipole electrical plug-in socket connector connected to the electrical lines, and a transition part having a first end adjacent the connector and a second end adjacent the protective tube for joining the connector to the protective tube, said transition part being a hollow member having at its first end a cylindrical receiving region for mounting to the plug-in connector and having at its second end a receptacle, a fastening element embracing with a first end thereof an end region of the protective tube in a frictionally locking manner and having a second end rotatably retained at the transition part receptacle, said fastening element comprising two separate half shells.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A cable harness comprising a protective tube having a corrugated surface, electrical lines within the tube, a multipole electrical plug-in socket connector connected to the electrical lines, and a transition part having a first end adjacent the connector and a second end adjacent the protective tube for joining the connector to the protective tube, said transition part being a hollow member having at its first end a cylindrical receiving region for mounting to the plug-in connector and having at its second end a receptacle, a fastening element embracing with a first end thereof an end region of the protective tube in a frictionally locking manner and having a second end rotatably retained at the transition part receptacle, said fastening element comprising two separate half shells.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
130 words
A cable harness comprising a protective tube having a corrugated surface, electrical lines within the tube, a multipole electrical plug-in socket connector connected to the electrical lines and having a threaded end, and a transition part having a first end adjacent the connector and a second end adjacent the protective tube for joining the connector to the protective tube, said transition part being a hollow member having at its first end a threaded cylindrical receiving region for threadingly mounting to the connector threaded end and having at its second end a receptacle, a fastening element embracing with an inner projection at a first end thereof a corrugated end region of the protective tube in a frictionally locking manner and having a second end rotatably retained at the transition part receptacle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
130 words
A cable harness comprising a protective tube having a corrugated surface, electrical lines within the tube, a multipole electrical plug-in socket connector connected to the electrical lines and having a threaded end, and a transition part having a first end adjacent the connector and a second end adjacent the protective tube for joining the connector to the protective tube, said transition part being a hollow member having at its first end a threaded cylindrical receiving region for threadingly mounting to the connector threaded end and having at its second end a receptacle, a fastening element embracing with an inner projection at a first end thereof a corrugated end region of the protective tube in a frictionally locking manner and having a second end rotatably retained at the transition part receptacle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A cable harness according to claim 2, wherein the receptacle for the fastening element comprises a circumferential groove engaged by a surrounding bead of the fastening element to form a rotatable connection.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
A cable harness according to claim 2, wherein the transition part receptacle and the fastening element comprise corresponding circumferential grooves, and a snap ring is mounted in the grooves to form a rotatable joint.
