This invention relates to electrical appliances and more particularly to a separable plug used for releasably connecting conductor wires to each other.
In order to releasably connect conductor wires, plugs are used consisting of compamon Sections each having contacts to whlch wlres are attached and the contacts of the two sections engage each other when the sections are connected butplugs now in use have been found unsatisfactory as the contacts to which charged wires are attached are exposed and a short circuit will be formed vif a piece of metal drops into a socket or the socket becomes partially or entirely lled with water when the sections of the plug are separated.
Therefore, one object of the invention 1s to provide a plug so constructed that contacts in a socket to which power wires are attached will be covered and danger of a'short circult eliminated when the cap or companion plug Section is detached.
Another object of the invention is to provide the socket with a shield for its contacts so mounted that while it will be yieldably held in position to prevent a short circuit it may be easily moved into position to permit completion of a circuit when the cap or compamon plug section is in place.
Another object of the invention 1s to provide the socket with a shield which is moved to a circuit establishing position by merely the cap into place and will return to a shie ding position Immediately uponrep moval of the cap thereby positively insuring the socke proper operation'and making manual adjust.- ment unnecessary.
' Another ob'ect of the invention is to provide a plug o this character which is simple in construction and easy to operate.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through the plug wit the cap separated from t Figure 2 is a similar view showing the cap applied to the socket.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along the e 3 3 of Figure 2 and showing the cap in section and the socket in elevation, and
` molding .of the core Figures 4, 5 and 6 are sectional views taken respectively along the lines 4 4, 5 5 and 6 6 of Figure 2.
This improved plug consists of companion sections and the section 1 may be referred to as a socket and the section 2 as a cap for the socket. The socket or shell 1 is formed of molded insulating material and has a chamber 3 extending axially through the same. At its inner end the chamber is extended to form avseat 4 for a coiled spring 5. The other end of this spring engages in a seat 6 formed at the inner end of a core or plunger 7 formed of insulating material and the spring serves to yieldably hold the core in the extended position shown in Figure 1 with its outer end bearing against an abutment ring or collar 8 which is threaded into the pocket 9 formed by enlarging the outer end of the chamber 3. By this arrangement, the core will be retained in the chamber for sliding movement therein but be withdrawn when the ring 8 is removed.
In recesses 10 and 11 formed in the walls of the socket 1 are disposed resilient contacts 12 and 13 each of which is substantially U- shaped and extends circumferentially of the socket as shown in Figures 4 and 5. These contacts are set in place during molding of the socket and have attached to their outer arms power wires 14 which extend longitudinally throughthe socket and out at its lower or rear end, and obviously, the power connections may also be of a detachable type.
To. insure positive alignment of the plunger.I plus,
22 with its coacting socket within the insd7 are provided on the face of the plunger a a This and 5.
The core 7 carries Vcontacts 15 and 16 which are also Ushapedand are set in place during with a portion of the core their arms as shown at 17.
eature is clearly shown in Figures 4 extending between These contacts are opposite sides of the core but one is closer to the inner end of the core than the other and by comparing Figures 1 and` 2 it willl be seen that the contacts 15 and 16 have such relation to the contacts 12 and 13 that when 1 ted to operate within channels 7 ".y
exposed at diametrica-lly' the core is in the extended position shown in Figure l it will serve as a shield to prevent water or a piece of metal which may enter the core from forming a short circuit between the contacts 12 and 13 whereas when the core is forced inwardly against the action of the spring 5 the contacts 15 and 16 may have engagement with the contacts 12 and 13 `respectively.
The plug section or cap 2 which is also formed of insulating material has an annular flange or' wall 17 to fit snuglyg about the socket 1 and has pins 18 to engage in bayonet slots 19 formed in the socket and securely and releasably hold the cap in place. A gasket 20 seated in a recess 21 formed in the cap serves to form a tight joint and exclude water when the cap is in place. From the center of the cap extends an arm 22 which passes through the opening 23 of the collar 8 into the core and forces the core to the position shown in Figure 2 when the cap is in place. Therefore, the contacts 15 and 16 will be moved into engagement with the contacts 12 and 13 and since the contacts 24 and 25 carried by the arm 22 bear against the contacts 15 and 16 communication will be established between the power wires 14 and the wires 26 which extend through the cap and its arm and have their inner ends anchored to the contacts 24 and 25.
By having the plug constructed as shown in the drawings and described above all danger of a short circuit taking place when the cap is detached is eliminated as the core immediately moves to a shielding position but as soon as the cap is applied a connection will be established between the wires 14 and 26 and current may flow through the wires 26 to energize an appropriate electric appliance or motor to which the wires 26 lead.
It should also be noted that when the cap is applied to the casing and the shield moved to a circuit closing position, all of the contacts carried by the cap, shield and casing will be enclosed and if sparks are formed by arcing during application of or removal of the cap, these sparks will be confined within the plug and fire hazards due to danger of gases being ignited will be eliminated. Therefore, the plug can be safely used in a projecting room or booth of a moving picture Y theatre or other places where inflammable gases are liable to be present without danger of lire or explosions taking place.
From the foregoing description of the construction of our improved invention, the operation thereof and the method of applying the same to use will be readily understood. It will be seen that we have provided a simple, inexpensive and efficient means for carrying outthe objects of the invention. While we have particularly described the elements best adapted to perform the functions set forth, it is obvious that various changes in form, proportion and in the minor details of construction may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit or sacrihcing any of the principles of the invention.
