Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Kontaktvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1,4 oder 7.The invention relates to an electrical contact device according to the preamble of claim 1, 4 or 7.

Kontaktvorrichtungen dieser Art sind bekannt aus der DE-PS 25 27 681 und der DE-AS 14 65 090. Der Lamellenkörper wird dort durch ein -z.B. zylinderförmig gebogenes oder gerolltes - federelastisch biegsames Band aus elektrisch leitfähigem Material oder mit einer Armierung aus solchem Material gebildet. Die zwischen den Schlitzen verbliebenen, stegförmigen Bandabschnitte bilden die bogenartig aus der Bandebene bzw. aus der Zylinderfläche herausgestellten Kontaktlamellen, die in ihrem Scheitelbereich mit dem einen Kontaktkörper sowie an ihren beiderseitigen Endbereichen bzw. an den dort verlaufenden Randzonen des Lamellenkörpers mit dem anderen Kontaktkörper in elektrisch leitende Druckberührung treten und dadurch für eine sichere Kontaktgabe mit geringem elektrischem Uebergangswiderstand sorgen sollen. Eine Kontaktkraft F im Scheitelbereich ruft dabei ein Paar von Reaktionskontaktkräften F/2 an den beiden zugehörigen Kontaktstellen der Randzonen hervor.Contact devices of this type are known from DE-PS 25 27 681 and DE-AS 14 65 090. The lamellar body is there there by a - e.g. Cylindrical curved or rolled - resiliently flexible band made of electrically conductive material or with a reinforcement made of such material. The web-shaped band sections remaining between the slots form the contact lamellae which protrude in an arc from the band plane or from the cylinder surface and which are electrically connected in their apex region with one contact body and at their end regions on both sides or at the edge zones of the lamellar body running there conductive pressure contact and should ensure safe contact with low electrical transition resistance. A contact force F in the apex area causes a pair of reaction contact forces F / 2 at the two associated contact points of the edge zones.

Diese bekannten Kontaktvorrichtungen erfüllen . ihre Funktion für zahlreiche Anwendungsbereiche ausreichend. Bei hoher Kontaktstrombelastung sowie vor allem bei häufigeren Schliess-und Oeffnungsbetätigungen ergeben sich bei der Verwendung derartiger Vorrichtungen folgende Probleme:Meet these known contact devices. their function is sufficient for numerous areas of application. With high contact current loads and especially with more frequent closing and opening operations, the following problems arise when using such devices:

Unter dem Einfluss der Kontaktkraft F bildet sich am Lamellenscheitel jeweils eine definierte Kontaktstelle, während die Kontaktstellen an den beiderseitigen Randzonen infolge der vergleichsweise grossflächigen Berührung mit dem zugehörigen Kontaktkörper mehr oder weniger undefiniert sind. So kommt es vor, dass sich für mehrere Kontaktlamellen an den beiden Randzonen nur je eine einzige Kontaktstelle mit vergleichsweise geringer stromführenden Kontaktfläche bildet, die damit durch eine überhöhte Stromdichte belastet wird und u.U. auch einen überhöhten Uebergangswiderstand aufweist.Under the influence of the contact force F, a defined contact point is formed on the lamella apex, while the contact points on the edge zones on both sides are more or less undefined due to the comparatively large contact with the associated contact body. So it happens that for several contact lamellae at the two edge zones only a single contact point with a comparatively small current-carrying contact surface is formed, which is thus burdened by an excessive current density and possibly. also has an excessive transition resistance.

Hinzu kommt eine erhöhte mechanische Verschleissanfälligkeit der bekannten Vorrichtungen beim Stecken und Trennen von Kontaktkörpem in Form von Buchsen und Steckern, insbesondere beim maschinellen Betätigen derselben. Die Kontaktstellen am Scheitel der Lamellenkörper gleiten nämlich bei der Relativbewegung der Kontaktkörper gegeneinander immer längs der gleichen Linie an der Kontaktkörperoberfläche. Die Abnutzung der -oft mit besonderem Kontaktmaterial beschichteten -Oberfläche konzentriert sich daher auf diese Oberftächenbereiche, was zu einer frühzeitigen Zerstörung der Oberflächenstruktur führen kann und dann die Voraussetzungen für die Bildung von Oxidschichten sowie für eine Ueberhitzung der Kontaktvorrichtung schafft.In addition, there is an increased mechanical susceptibility to wear of the known devices when plugging and disconnecting contact bodies in the form of sockets and plugs, in particular when the same is operated mechanically. The contact points on the apex of the lamellar bodies always slide along the same line on the contact body surface when the contact bodies move relative to one another. The wear of the surface, which is often coated with a special contact material, is therefore concentrated in these surface areas, which can lead to premature destruction of the surface structure and then create the conditions for the formation of oxide layers and for overheating of the contact device.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen und die gattungsgemässe Kontaktvorrichtung so verbessem, dass die erwähnten Nachteile entfallen.Here, the invention seeks to remedy the situation and improve the generic contact device in such a way that the disadvantages mentioned do not apply.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist daher die Schaffung einer Kontaktvorrichtung, bei der deinierte Kontaktstellen für die Reaktionskräfte F/2 an den beiderseitigen Endbereichen der KontaktfameIlen auftreten. Die Erfindung verfolgt als weitere Aufgabe, die Beanspruchung der Kontaktflächen zu vergleichmässigen und damit den Oberflächenabrieb beim Stecken und Trennen der Kontaktvorrichtung bzw. von Buchsen und Steckern zu vermindern.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a contact device, in which deinstalled contact points for the reaction forces F / 2 occur at the end regions of the contact arms on both sides. Another object of the invention is to uniformize the stress on the contact surfaces and thus to reduce the surface abrasion when plugging and unplugging the contact device or of sockets and plugs.

Die wesentlichen Vorteile der Erfindung sind darin zu sehen, dass die elektrischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften der Kontaktvorrichtung verbessert werden.The main advantages of the invention are the fact that the electrical and mechanical properties of the contact device are improved.

Vorteilhafte und zweckmässige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich durch Kombination mit an sich bekannten Merkmalen, wie sie in den abhängigen Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet sind.Advantageous and expedient further developments of the invention result from combination with features known per se, as characterized in the dependent claims.

Alle für das unmittelbare Verständnis der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung nicht unbedingt erforderlichen Elemente sind fortgelassen. In den verschiedenen Figuren sind jeweils gleiche Elemente mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen.All elements which are not absolutely necessary for the direct understanding of the device according to the invention have been omitted. In the various figures, the same elements are provided with the same reference symbols.

Der in Fig. 1 gezeigte Lamellenkörper 1 wird aus einem elektrisch gut leitenden Werkstoff hergestellt, der überdies auch gute Federeigenschaften besitzen muss. Als Werkstoff könnte beispielsweise eine Cu/Be-Legierung gewählt werden. Es ist indessen auch möglich, den Lamellenkörper 1 aus Federstahl vorzusehen und ihn im Bereich der Kontaktflächen mit elektrisch hochleitenden Werkstoffen zu plattieren. Der Lamellenkörper 1 weist eine Mehrzahl von nebeneinanderliegenden und durch Schlitze 3a-3e voneinander getrennten Lamellen 2a-2f auf, wobei die Breite der letzteren ungefähr derjenigen der Schlitze 3a-3e entspricht. Das Bandmaterial zur Herstellung des Lamellenkörpers 1 kann grundsätzlich beliebige Abmessungen, Stärken und Formen aufweisen. Diese Parameter werden in bekannter Weise von der vorgegebenen Dimension der Kontaktvorrichtung und von den zugrundegelegten elektrischen Kennwerten abhängig sein.The lamellar body 1 shown in Fig. 1 is made of an electrically highly conductive material, which must also have good spring properties. For example, a Cu / Be alloy could be selected as the material. However, it is also possible to provide the lamellar body 1 made of spring steel and to plate it with electrically highly conductive materials in the region of the contact surfaces. The lamella body 1 has a plurality of lamellae 2a-2f lying next to one another and separated from one another by slots 3a-3e, the width of the latter approximately corresponding to that of the slots 3a-3e. The strip material for producing the lamellar body 1 can in principle have any dimensions, thicknesses and shapes. In a known manner, these parameters will depend on the specified dimension of the contact device and on the underlying electrical characteristic values.

Die Lamellen 2a-2f sind gewölbt und an ihren Enden durch Randstreifen 4,5 mechanisch zusammengehalten. Die Höhe der Wölbung H der nach dem Blattfederprinzip ausgebildeten Lamellen 2a-2f ist nicht von dem durch die Breite der Schlitze 3a-3e definierten gegenseitigen Abstand der Lamellen 2a-2f längs des Bandes abhängig. Dies bedeutet, dass es möglich ist, durch entsprechende Wahl der Höhe der Wölbung H auch grössere Toleranzen zwischen zwei miteinander elektrisch zu verbindenden Kontaktflächen von Kontaktkörpern zu überbrüchen, ohne dass die Anzahl der Lamellen 2a-2f vermindert werden müsste. Dies ist insofern von Vorteil, als dadurch die hohe Strombelastbarkeit voll erhalten bleibt.The lamellae 2a-2f are curved and mechanically held together at their ends by edge strips 4,5. The height of the curvature H of the slats 2a-2f designed according to the leaf spring principle is not dependent on the mutual spacing of the slats 2a-2f along the band defined by the width of the slots 3a-3e. This means that it is possible, by appropriately selecting the height of the curvature H, to also overcome larger tolerances between two contact surfaces of contact bodies which are to be electrically connected to one another without the number of lamellae 2a-2f having to be reduced. This is advantageous in that it fully maintains the high current carrying capacity.

Die Lamellen 2a-2f weisen in ihren Endbereichen gegensinnig zu dem bogenartig geformten Mittelbereich gekrümmte Abschnitte 6 auf. Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 1 werden die Randstreifen 4,5 sodann in einem solchen Winkel zu den Lamellen 2a-2f angeordnet, dass sie flach auf der Kontaktfläche des unteren, nicht dargestellten Kontaktkörpers aufliegen.In their end regions, the lamellae 2a-2f have sections 6 which are curved in the opposite direction to the arch-shaped central region. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the edge strips 4, 5 are then arranged at such an angle to the lamellae 2a-2f that they lie flat on the contact surface of the lower contact body, not shown.

Die Kontaktstellen zwischen dem oberen, ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Kontaktkörper und den Lamellen 2a-2f befinden sich in der Mitte des bogenartig geformten Bereiches dieser Lamellen. Dort drückt die Kontaktkraft F, während am linken und rechten Randstreifen 4,5 jeweils die Reaktionskräfte F/2 wirken. Dadurch dass die Schlitze 3a-3e sich über den gekrümmten Abschnitt 6 hinaus bis zu den Randstreifen 4,5 erstrecken, wird die in diesem Abschnitt naturgemäss bestehende Steifigkeit überwunden, so dass die Kontaktstellen in der Ebene der Reaktionskräfte F/2 definierte Werte aufweisen, deren Wiederhofbarkeit bei jedem Steckvorgang garantiert ist. Auf diese Weise werden jeder Lamelle 2a-2f örtlich und wertmässig eindeutig festgelegte Kontaktstellen zugeordnet, und zwar sowohl in der Ebene der Kontaktkraft F als auch dort, wo die Reaktionskräfte F/2 wirken. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass die Herstellung des elektrischen Kontaktes zwischen den einzelnen Teilen der erfindungsgemässen Kontaktvorrichtung optimal erfolgt. Jede Lamelle 2a-2f bildet nämlich eine autonome Strombrücke mit gleichmässigen elektrischen Kennziffern, wodurch der Uebergangswiderstand der Kontaktvorrichtung insgesamt erheblich reduziert werden kann.The contact points between the upper contact body, also not shown, and the fins 2a-2f are located in the middle of the arcuate region of these fins. The contact force F presses there, while the reaction forces F / 2 act on the left and right edge strips 4, 5. Because the slits 3a-3e extend beyond the curved section 6 to the edge strips 4, 5, the stiffness inherent in this section is naturally overcome, so that the contact points in the plane of the reaction forces F / 2 have defined values whose Reusability is guaranteed with every mating process. In this way, each lamella 2a-2f is assigned clearly defined contact points in terms of location and value, both in the plane of the contact force F and where the reaction forces F / 2 act. This ensures that the electrical contact between the individual parts of the contact device according to the invention is optimally produced. Each lamella 2a-2f namely forms an autonomous current bridge with uniform electrical characteristic numbers, as a result of which the contact resistance of the contact device as a whole can be considerably reduced.

Die Randstreifen 4,5 können mit Ausnehmungen 12 versehen werden, die sich von- deren ässeren Kanten jeweils in den gekrümmten Abschnitt 6 einer Lamelle 2a-2f hinein erstrecken (vgl. Bezugszeichen 12a in Fig. 1). Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass diese Ausnehmungen 12 sich jeweils bloss in Richtung des gekrümmten Abschnittes 6 einer Lamelle 2a-2f, jedoch nicht in diesen hinein erstrecken (vgl. Bezugszeichen 12b in Fig. 1). Mit diesen Massnahmen wird erreicht, dass besagte Kontaktstellen auch im Bereich der Randstreifen 4,5 liegen können.The edge strips 4, 5 can be provided with recesses 12, the outer edges of which each extend into the curved section 6 of a lamella 2a-2f (cf. reference number 12a in FIG. 1). However, it is also conceivable that these recesses 12 each merely extend in the direction of the curved section 6 of a lamella 2a-2f, but not into it (see reference number 12b in FIG. 1). With these measures it is achieved that said contact points can also lie in the area of the edge strips 4, 5.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen Lamellenkörper 1a in hülsenartiger Form, bei dem mechanische und elektrische Verbesserungen angestrebt werden. Die mechanischen Verbesserungen haben, wie bereits im Zusammenhang mit dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel erwähnt, ihren Ursprung in der Tatsache, dass die Schlitze 8a-8e sich über den gekrümmten Abschnitt 6 hinaus bis zu den Randstreifen 4,5 erstrecken. Die weitere Massnahme, wonach die Lamellen 7a-7f als räumliche Kurven ausgebildet sind, deren Formgebung durch die kurvenförmige Ausstanzung der Schlitze 8a-8e festgelegt ist, hat zur Folge, dass jede Kontaktstelle beim Steckvorgang jeweils entlang der zugeordneten Lamelle 7a-7f sowie der entsprechenden Kontaktfläche des Kontaktkörpers sich bewegt. Durch die kurvenförmige Linienführung der Lamellen 7a-7f bzw. der Schlitze 8a-8e erhält man ausserdem beim Steckvorgang eine Art Schraub-oder Windeneffekt, der bewirkt, dass sich der hülsenartige Lamellenkörper 1a leichter in die Steckhalterung einführen lässt. Auf diese Weise wird vermieden, dass die Kontaktstellen der Lamellen 7a-7f immer die gleichen Kontaktlinien auf der Gegenkontaktfläche berühren. Somit wird der volle Umfang der Gegenkontaktfläche ausgenutzt, mit dem Resultat, dass der für Oxidation und Ueberhitzung des gesamten Kontaktes verantwortliche Oberflächenabrieb minimiert wird.' Fig. 2 shows a lamellar body 1a in a sleeve-like shape, in which mechanical and electrical improvements are sought. As already mentioned in connection with the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the mechanical improvements originate from the fact that the slots 8a-8e extend beyond the curved section 6 up to the edge strips 4, 5. The further measure, according to which the lamellae 7a-7f are designed as spatial curves, the shape of which is determined by the curved punching out of the slots 8a-8e, has the consequence that each contact point during the insertion process in each case along the associated lamellae 7a-7f and the corresponding one Contact surface of the contact body moves. The curved lines of the slats 7a-7f and the slits 8a-8e also result in a kind of screw or winch effect during the plug-in process, which has the effect that the sleeve-like lamellar body 1a can be inserted more easily into the plug-in holder. In this way it is avoided that the contact points of the lamellae 7a-7f always touch the same contact lines on the counter-contact surface. The full extent of the mating contact surface is thus used, with the result that the surface abrasion responsible for oxidation and overheating of the entire contact is minimized. '

Analog wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 1 können die Randstreifen 4,5 wiederum Ausnehmungen 12 aufweisen, die sich von deren äusseren Kanten jeweils entweder in den gekrümmten Abschnitt 6 einer Lamelle 7a-7f oder eben nicht ganz bis zu diesem Abschnitt erstrecken (vgl. Bezugszeichen 12a und 12b in Fig. 2). Hinsichtlich der mit diesen Massnahmen erzielbaren Effekte gilt das weiter oben im Zusammenhang mit dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 1 bereits Gesagte.Analogously to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the edge strips 4, 5 can in turn have recesses 12, each of which extends from the outer edges thereof either into the curved section 6 of a lamella 7a-7f or not quite as far as this section (see reference numerals 12a and 12b in Fig. 2). With regard to the effects that can be achieved with these measures, what has already been said above in connection with the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 applies.

Die in den Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellten Lamellenkörper sind demjenigen nach Fig. 2 ähnlich. Ihre Randstreifen 4,5 weisen Ausnehmungen 12 in Form von Schlitzen 9 (Fig. 3) bzw. einer trapezförmigen Verzahnung 10 (Fig. 4) auf. Dadurch werden im Bereich der Randstreifen 4,5 vermehrte Kontaktstellen geschaffen, was zur Verbesserung der elektrischen Kontakte in diesem Bereich beiträgt. Selbstverständlich können die Ausnehmungen 12 auch andere geometrische Formen als die soeben erwähnten haben.3 and 4 are similar to that of FIG. 2. Their edge strips 4, 5 have recesses 12 in the form of slots 9 (FIG. 3) or a trapezoidal toothing 10 (FIG. 4). As a result, increased contact points are created in the area of the edge strips 4.5, which contributes to improving the electrical contacts in this area. Of course, the recesses 12 can also have different geometric shapes than those just mentioned.

Fig. 5 zeigt einen Lamellenkörper 1, der demjenigen gemäss Fig. 1 ähnlich ist. Hier weisen die Randstreifen 4,5 Ausnehmungen 12 in Form einer dreiecksförmigen Verzahnung 11 auf. Die Schlitze 3a-3e laufen auch dreiecksförmig aus.FIG. 5 shows a lamellar body 1 which is similar to that according to FIG. 1. Here, the edge strips 4, 5 have recesses 12 in the form of triangular teeth 11. The slots 3a-3e also run out triangular.

Der in Fig. 6 dargestellte Lamellenkörper 1 weist grosse Aehnlichkeit mit demjenigen gemäss Fig. 1 auf. Ein wesentlicher Unterschied besteht jedoch darin, dass sich hier die gekrümmten Abschnitte 6 nicht in den Endbereichen der Lamellen 2a-2f befinden (wie im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 1), sondem vielmehr einen Teil der Randstreifen 4,5 bilden. Daraus folgt, dass die Schlitze 3a-3e sich nicht bis in diese gekrümmten Abschnitte 6 hinein erstrecken. Um dem Erfordernis eindeutig definierter Kontakstellen zu genügen, ist es deshalb unerlässlich, die Randstreifen 4,5 mit Ausnehmungen 12 zu versehen. Diese können beliebig angeordnet werden, müssen also nicht (wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt) unbedingt mit den Schlitzen 3a-3e fluchten. Sie erstrecken sich von den äusseren Kanten der Randstreifen 4,5 in den gekrümmten Abschnitt 6 hinein, können aber auch vor diesem enden (vgl. Bezugszeichen 12c in Fig. 6). Auf Grund des weiter oben genannten Erfordernisses muss im letzteren Fall dann freilich darauf geachtet werden, dass die Kontaktstellen innerhalb der Teilabschnitte der Randstreifen 4,5 liegen, welche die Ausnehmungen 12 enthalten. Bei relativ kurzen Ausnehmungen 12 sollten demzufolge die Kontaktstellen sich in der Nähe der äusseren Kanten der Randstreifen 4,5 befinden. Dies kann druch gezielte Massnahmen bei der konstruktiven Ausgestaltung des Lamellenkörpers 1 und der Kontaktkörper erreicht werden. Die Ausnehmungen 12 können wiederum beliebige geometrische Formen besitzen, insbesondere aber entsprechend den Fig. 3-5 ausgestaltet sein.The lamellar body 1 shown in FIG. 6 is very similar to that according to FIG. 1. An essential difference, however, is that here the curved sections 6 are not in the end regions of the slats 2a-2f (as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1), but rather form part of the edge strips 4, 5. It follows that the slits 3a-3e do not extend into these curved sections 6. In order to meet the requirement of clearly defined contact points, it is therefore essential to provide the edge strips 4, 5 with recesses 12. These can be arranged as desired, so they do not necessarily have to be aligned with the slots 3a-3e (as shown in FIG. 6). They extend from the outer edges of the edge strips 4, 5 into the curved section 6, but can also end before this (cf. reference number 12c in FIG. 6). On the basis of the requirement mentioned above, in the latter case it must of course be ensured that the contact points lie within the partial sections of the edge strips 4, 5 which contain the recesses 12. In the case of relatively short recesses 12, the contact points should accordingly be in the vicinity of the outer edges of the edge strips 4, 5. This can be achieved by means of targeted measures in the structural design of the lamellar body 1 and the contact body. The recesses 12 can in turn have any geometrical shapes, but in particular can be designed according to FIGS. 3-5.

Der in Fig. 7 offenbarte Lamellenkörper 1 hat ebenfalls eine gewisse Aehnlichkeit mit dem in Fig. 1 dargestellsten. Im Gegensatz zu den bisher beschriebenen Lamellenkörpem weist dieser jedoch keine gekrümmten Abschnitte 6 auf. Zur Bildung eindeutig definierter Kontaktstellen ist es unter diesen Umständen ebenfalls unerlässlich, dass die Randstreifen 4,5 Ausnehmungen 12 enthalten. Diese können wiederum rechteckig sein oder die Form einer dreiecks-oder trapezförmigen Verzahnung oder jede beliebige andere geometrische-Form besitzen. Ferner ist ihre Anordnung grundsätzlich beliebig, was bedeutet, dass sie nicht (wie in Fig. 7 dargestellt) unbedingt mit den Schlitzen 3a-3e fluchten müssen. Die Randstreifen 4,5- des Lamellenkörpers 1 nach Fig. 7 sind annähernd eben ausgebildet (vgl. Fig. 7 und 9). Dies ist aber keinesfalls zwingend. Grundsätzlich können die Endbereiche der Lamellen 2a-2f und die Randstreifen 4,5 eine beliebige Form haben, insbesondere die in Fig. 8 dargestellte, solange (aus weiter oben erwähnten Gründen) gewährleistet ist, dass die Kontaktstellen innerhalb der Teilabschnitte der Randstreifen 4,5 liegen, die die Ausnehmungen 12 enthalten (vgl. der mit Bezugszeichen B in den Fig. 8 und 9 versehene Abschnitt).The lamellar body 1 disclosed in FIG. 7 also has a certain similarity to that shown in FIG. 1. In contrast to the previously described lamellar bodies, however, this has no curved sections 6. In order to form clearly defined contact points, it is also essential under these circumstances that the edge strips contain 4.5 recesses 12. These can in turn be rectangular or have the shape of a triangular or trapezoidal toothing or any other geometrical shape. Furthermore, their arrangement is basically arbitrary, which means that they do not necessarily have to be aligned with the slots 3a-3e (as shown in FIG. 7). The edge strips 4, 5 of the lamellar body 1 according to FIG. 7 are approximately flat (cf. FIGS. 7 and 9). However, this is by no means mandatory. In principle, the end regions of the lamellae 2a-2f and the edge strips 4.5 can have any shape, in particular that shown in FIG. 8, as long as (for reasons mentioned above) it is ensured that the contact points within the partial sections of the edge strips 4,5 lie, which contain the recesses 12 (cf. the section provided with the reference symbol B in FIGS. 8 and 9).

Den Ausführungsbeispielen nach den Fig. 6 und 7 liegen Lamellenkörper 1 zugrunde, die demjenigen nach Fig. 1 ähnlich sind. Obschon in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt, umfasst die Erfindung natürlich auch Lamellenkörper in hülsenartiger Form 1 a (vgl. Fig. 2-4), die in bezug auf diese Ausführungsbeispiele sinngemäss ausgebildet sind. Diesbezüglich besteht also keine Einschränkung.The exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 6 and 7 are based on lamellar bodies 1 which are similar to that according to FIG. 1. Although not shown in the drawing, the invention naturally also includes lamellar bodies in the form of a sleeve 1 a (see FIGS. 2-4), which are designed analogously with respect to these exemplary embodiments. There is no restriction in this regard.
