Abstract:
The invention relates to an explosion-proof assembly ( 22 ) having an electrically conductive stud ( 23 ) made of a material which is not deformable radially. The stud ( 23 ) is coaxially surrounded in a central portion ( 23 a ) by an electrically insulating, electrically insulating sleeve ( 30 ). The sleeve ( 30 ) is in turn coaxially surrounded by a connecting portion ( 41 ) of a plastically deformable connecting body ( 40 ). Plastic deformation of the connecting portion ( 41 ) reduces the outer dimension thereof and the connecting portion ( 41 ) presses inwardly against the sleeve ( 30 ) to form a frictionally engaged form-fitting connection therebetween such that the connecting body ( 40 ), the sleeve ( 30 ) and the stud ( 23 ) form a structural unit with at least one stop surface ( 26 ) on the stud ( 23 ) resting against a counter stop surface of the sleeve ( 30 ).

Claim (Index 30):
A method for producing an explosion-proof assembly, comprising the following steps:\n providing an electrically conductive stud ( 23 ) which extends in a longitudinal direction (L) and which has a circumferential surface ( 25 ) extending around the longitudinal axis (L) having a plurality of circumferential surface portions ( 25 a ,  25 b ,  25 c ) with at least one of the circumferential surface portions ( 25 c ) forming a first stop surface ( 26 ) extending at an incline to the longitudinal axis (L), providing an electrically insulating sleeve ( 30 ) which has an inner surface ( 31 ) extending around the longitudinal axis (L) and having a plurality of inner surface portions ( 31 a ,  31 b ,  31 c ), providing a connecting body ( 40 ) made of a plastically deformable material and which is passed through a passage ( 44 ) of a wall ( 41 ) in the longitudinal direction (L), inserting the stud ( 23 ) in the sleeve ( 30 ) and fitting the connecting body ( 40 ) onto the sleeve ( 30 ), plastically deforming the connecting body ( 40 ) in a connecting portion ( 41 ) such that a cross-sectional area of an outer contour in the connecting portion ( 41 ) is reduced and the connecting portion ( 41 ) is pressed radially inwardly against the sleeve ( 30 ) to establish a frictionally engaged connection between the connecting body ( 40 ) and the sleeve ( 30 ) and also between the sleeve ( 30 ) and the circumferential surface ( 25 ) of the stud ( 23 ) such that the circumferential surface ( 25 ) of the stud ( 23 ) rests against the inner surface ( 31 ) of the sleeve ( 30 ), and as a result of the plastic deformation of the connecting portion ( 41 ) of the sleeve ( 30 ) a first counter stop surface ( 32 ) extending at an incline to the longitudinal axis (L) is formed in the sleeve ( 30 ) and rests against the stop surface ( 26 ) of the stud ( 23 ).
