Definitions

  • the multiple coupling connector of this invention accomplishes in a practical and stable manner said connection, permitting the direct contact of a ribbon-like conductor with the blades of a socket, connected in turn to the terminal of a circular cross-section cable.
  • the connector according to the present invention is comprised of a first box-shaped element, provided with a projection, wherein there is formed essentially cylindrical transverse passages.
  • telescopic-type devices consisting, preferably, of two hollow cylindrical members, each of which may slide in opposite direction along a cylindrical guide due to the action of a pair of pressure springs.
  • the latter is shaped so as to insure an easy anchoring of the blades of the sockets, applied to the circular cross-section cables.
  • Said blades come in contact with the two hollow cylindrical members, which press against the blades themselves urged by inner springs acting on such cylindrical members.
  • the multiple coupling connector is made up of a first box-shaped element 1, provided with side walls 2, showing the upper edge having a dovetail configuration.
  • the median portion of said first box-shaped element 1 consists of projection 6, showing approximately the configuration of a parallelepiped, in which there are transversely formed cylindrical passages 7.
  • telescopictype devices consisting of two cylindrical capsules 9 and 9', showing a head 10 and 10, being suitably curved and turned towards the walls, and having a section adapted to accommodate to the open ends of the passages 7.
  • Said passages show further an edge 8, serving as stop means, preventing the capsules from slipping off.
  • the aforesaid two capsules 9 and 9' are provided with an edge 11 and 11', being partially curved, and may slide over a hollow cylindrical guide 12, provided in proximity of its terminal with stop recesses 13 and 13'.
  • Said hollow cylindrical guide 12 is further comprised of a median partition wall 14 and serves as a housing to receive two pressure springs 15 and 15', which by resting on the partition wall 14 press onto the heads 10 and 10' of the capsules.
  • the said two capsules 9 and 9' are made, of course, from insulating material, as for example, plastic mate rial.
  • Said conductor may be fastened on the upper portion to said projection 6 by means of a small rivet 18 or screw.
  • Said walls 20 shows an edge shaped to accommodate the dovetail-shaped edge of the corresponding walls of the first box-shaped element 1.
  • the aforementioned second box-shaped element 21 is provided with upper openings 22, in which there are disposed the sockets 23, adapted to fit to the terminal of the circular crosssection cables 24.
  • Said sockets 23 end with a metal blade 25, inserting itself into the slot 26, formed in the second box-shaped element 21 and placing itself between the end portion 19 of the wall 20 and the portion 27 having been deprived of the insulating layer of the ribbon-like conductor 17.
  • the contact between the blade 25 and the conductor 27 is insured by the pressure exerted by the head 10 of the capsule 9 urged by the two springs 15 and 15'.
  • the blade 25 is further provided with a flexible tongue 28, which, after the insertion of the blade through the slot 26, springs inwardly, into said recess anchoring the respective socket 23 to the second boxshaped element 21.
  • An apparatus for the multiple electrical connection of ribbon-like conductors with circular crosssection cables comprising a first element formed with an elongated recess bounded by an inner peripheral wall surface and having an open end and a longitudinally spaced closed end; a second element formed with an elongated projection receivable with clearance in said recess through said open end thereof.
  • said projection is formed with an open-ended transverse passage; and wherein said biasing means comprise a first sliding member, a second sliding member, and a guide member received in said transverse passage, said guide member guiding said first and second sliding members, and a biasing element urging said first and second sliding members apart in direction outwardly of said passage.
  • biasing means further comprise abutment means which present movement of said first and second sliding members outwardly of said transverse passage beyond a predetermined distance when said projection of said second element is removed from said recess.
  • abutment means further comprise sliding means which allow movement of said first sliding member and said second sliding member on said guide member, respectively.
  • said projection is formed with an open-ended transverse passage; and wherein said biasing means comprise a pair of telescoped-together members received in said transverse passage, and a biasing element urging said telescoped-together members apart in axial direction of said passage.
  • biasing means further comprise abutment means which prevent movement of said telescoped-together members outwardly of said transverse passage beyond a predetermined distance when said projection of said second element is removed from said recess.
  • said third longitudinal portion further comprises a flexible section which engages said closed end of said first element so as to secure said socket element when said socket element is received in said recess.
