Abstract

Cable sealing having a carrier formed as a hard component and having an opening, and a seal formed as a soft component and being arranged at least on the carrier. Protection against longitudinal water is achieved by the fact that the seal is formed from a silicone and is injection-moulded together with the carrier.

First claim

1 - 21 . (canceled)

22 . Cable sealing comprising:
a housing in at least two parts with an upper part and a lower part, an opening arranged as a cable entry into the housing, the upper part and the lower part each forming a part of the opening, and the opening is formed at least in parts from projections pointing outward in an axial direction from an outer wall of the housing, one of the projections being arranged on the upper part and one of the projections being arranged on the lower part, wherein in a joint state of the housing, parts of the projections which lie against each other have partial coupling elements which extend in a radial direction, the partial coupling elements complementing each other, in the joint state, to form a coupling element via which a pressing force between the upper part and the lower part can be received in the region of the projections, wherein the projections form a receptacle for a plug-in element in the joint state, the plug-in element has an opening for a cable, and a soft-component is arranged circumferentially at the inner circumference of the opening of the plug-in element as a seal and a hard component is arranged circumferentially at the outer circumference of the opening of the plug-in element.

23 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein the projections lying against each other have end faces facing each other and the end face of a first of the projections is formed as a groove and the end face of a second projection lying against the first projection is formed as a tongue.

24 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein the projections lying against each other have end faces facing each other, and the end face of a first of the projections has a soft component, and in that the end face of a second projection lying against the first projection has a projection which elastically engages with the soft component in the joint state.

25 . Cable sealing of claim 24 ,
wherein the end faces extend axially along the projection.

26 . Cable sealing of claim 23 ,
wherein the end faces are formed radially outwards by a soft component and a hard component, the hard component projecting over the soft component in a projection parallel to the end face.

27 . Cable sealing of claim 26 ,
wherein the soft component is arranged circumferentially along a contact surface between the upper part and the lower part.

28 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein in the joint state, the projections form a first opening cross-section in the joint state and in that, outer walls lying against each other in the joint state form a second opening cross-section in the region of the projections which is smaller than the first opening cross-section.

29 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein the plug-in element has at least one recess, the recess engaging with the coupling element in the joint state, thus exerting the pressing force on the upper part and lower part, in particular in that the recess tapers in the axial direction and/or the coupling element tapers in the axial direction.

30 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein the seal extends in the axial direction beyond the opening into a sealing section.

31 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein the sealing section extends in the radial direction beyond a boundary wall of the opening of the plug-in element.

32 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein the sealing section has a greater extent in the radial direction than a boundary wall of the opening of the plug-in element.

33 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein the seal has at least one projection pointing radially inwards, in particular in that the seal has projections arranged axially next to each other and pointing radially inwards.

34 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein the opening of the plug-in element and/or the opening of the housing has a rectangular or round profile.

35 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein the plug-in element has on its outer circumference at least one fastening means for fastening to the housing.

36 . Cable sealing of claim 35 ,
wherein the fastening means can be detachably fastened to a housing, in particular in that the fastening means is part of a snap connection.

37 . Cable sealing of claim 35 ,
wherein the fastening means embraces the opening in a U-shape.

38 . Cable sealing of claim 22 ,
wherein the seal is arranged between the projections in the joint state and the hard component embraces the projections in the joint state.

39 . Arrangement with a cable sealing of claim 22 and an electric cable, wherein the electric cable is sheathed with an insulation and passed into the housing of the cable sealing.
