Abstract: The plug connector has a housing for plugging in a counter plug, a through channel for an insulated inner conductor contact and an arrangement for mechanically connecting the plug housing and counter plug. The connecting arrangement exerts axial tension on the counter plug to clamp outer conductor contact surfaces of the counter plug and plug connector together. The plug connector (2) has a housing open at one end for plugging in a counter plug (3) and with a through channel containing an insulated inner conductor contact (7) and a connecting arrangement (11) for mechanically connecting the plug housing to the counter plug. The counter plug is latched by the connecting arrangement when the plug connector is connected to it. The connecting arrangement is designed to exert an axial tension on the counter plug to clamp an outer conductor contact surface of the counter plug against an outer conductor contact surface of the plug connector.

Abstract: A transportable container for bulk goods and a method for forming the container are disclosed. The transportable container is formed from a bag having a closed base and an open top. The open top is in a folded over position and a bottom support is located adjacent to the closed base. A particulate material is filled into the bag and an outer wrap is spirally wrapped around the bottom support and the bag such that the outer wrap secures the bag to the bottom support and secures the open top in the folded over position. The method for forming the transportable container includes the steps of securing the open top of the bag in an opened position and supporting a base of the bag. The bag is filled to a predetermined level with a particulate material and while being filled the fill level of the particulate material in the bag is monitored. Simultaneously with filling of the bag, an outer wrap is spirally wrapped around the bag in an upward direction to a predetermined fill level. Once the bag is completely filled the open top of the bag is released and moved into a folded over position whereupon the outer wrap is spirally wound around the bag in a downward direction to secure the open top in the folded over position thereby forming the transportable container.
