Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multiple plug with a plurality of individual plug heads connected to cables, each of which is at least single-pole, but preferably two-pole, and which can be plugged into a corresponding number of single-pole or multi-pole counterparts on a device or intermediate plug part, with a by means of a swiveling cover which can be closed and which has a plurality of elongated, parallel chambers with insertion openings into which the individual plug heads can be inserted according to the arrangement of the poles of the counterparts on the device or intermediate plug part, and with a locking device consisting of a crossbar and groove, which the individual plug heads each have secures in the chambers against falling out and pulling out.
  • the NDM brochure (“Silvon, Compare IT With Your Present Electrode System” 1978) offers a similar multiple plug with an intermediate plug-in part, in which the hollow housing for receiving the individual plug-in heads sits in a floor pan that has insertion slots on the front wall for the individual cables By folding up the hollow housing, the individual plug heads can be inserted individually into the slots with the cable connections and at the same time the plug connections can be made with the counterparts of the hollow housing. After the hollow housing has been folded back into the floor pan, it is no longer possible to pull the individual plug heads out through the slots possible because the head diameter is larger than the slot width, so this intermediate connector provides increased security against accidental disconnection of plugs.
  • the ARBO brochure "Adapters and patient cables” also discloses a round plug-in connection, in which a shoe-like intermediate plug-in part in the flat bottom part has vertical plug-in holes for plug-in poles vertically downward on the individual plug-in head. In the case of this multiple plug, the individual plug heads must be plugged in individually.
  • a multiple connector of the type mentioned, in which the individual plug heads are held parallel to one another, is known from GB-A-2024537.
  • a connector that can be closed by a lid is used, in which the lid is attached transversely to the longitudinal direction of the chambers.
  • a cross connection thus permanently covers part of the chambers. This makes it difficult to insert individual plug heads into the remaining insertion openings from the cover side.
  • Sockets connected to the ends of the cables are used as individual plug heads.
  • Each socket comprises a front part with an outward-facing metal nose (crossbar). After the bushing has been inserted into the associated chamber, the metal nose engages in a transverse groove provided in the chamber wall.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a multiple plug in the form of a compact plug which is simple to manufacture and, with regard to being plugged into a device or an intermediate plug-in part, simplifies handling with a high number of possible combinations with regard to the interchanging of the individual plug heads with one another.
  • each individual plug head has the shape of a narrow rod with a head part and a rear part, the rear part essentially having the shape of a narrow cuboid with a rectangular cross section, in that each of the chambers has a perpendicular shape at at least one point
  • Cross-sectional constriction running to the insertion opening has that the rear part of each individual plug head represents an impression negative of the respective chamber with a groove that runs perpendicular to the insertion opening and matches the cross-sectional constriction, corresponding to the cross-sectional constriction of the chamber, so that the rear parts of the individual plug heads form into the chambers transversely to the longitudinal direction.
  • the head part protruding from the connecting piece In the multiple plug according to the invention, all the individual plug heads are already plugged together to form a compact plug before being plugged into a device or adapter. This compact connector is then plugged in its entirety on the device or on the adapter. This not only simplifies the handling of the multiple connector; the multiple connector is also more stable overall with a simple construction. By simply repositioning the individual plug heads in the connecting piece (or inserting empty pieces), a differently combined compact plug results. This also gives the greatest possible variability in adapting the compact plug to different conditions.
  • a total of three individual plug heads I, II, III can be plugged together to form a compact plug.
  • the individual plug heads I, II and III have the form of narrow rods shown in FIG. 1.
  • the free head part 1 of each rod is rounded at the top; it includes a two-pole socket 3 on the end face 2.
  • the rear part 4 of the respective rod has essentially the shape of a narrow cuboid (except for grooves 15 to be described later).
  • Signal cables 5 are connected to the rear rod parts 4.
  • the rod-shaped individual plug heads I, 11, III can be plugged together to form a compact plug by means of a connecting piece 6 designed in the manner of a sleeve.
  • the connecting piece 6 comprises a bottom part 7 with side walls 8 and 9 and two partition walls 10 and 11.
  • the side and partition walls 8, 9 and 10, 11 divide the bottom part 7 into a total of three chambers 12, 13 and 14.
  • the side wall 8 and also the intermediate walls 10 and 11 each contain a cross bar 16 on the inside.
  • This cross bar 16 fits the aforementioned grooves 15 of the rod-shaped individual plug heads I to 111; when inserting the individual plug-in heads I, II and III into the chambers 14, 13 and 12, there is thus a force-locking groove-web connection between the chambers of the connecting piece 6 and the inserted single plug-in heads.
  • An unintentional pulling out or falling out of individual plug heads I, II and III from the chambers 14, 13 and 12 is impossible.
  • the connection is not only non-positive, it is also positive.
  • the rod-shaped individual plug heads I to III lie tightly in the chambers 14, 13 and 12 after being plugged in. There are therefore also no dirt corners which would allow contamination. In terms of cleanliness, too, the compact plug connection is designed to be inexpensive.
  • the good stability of the compact connector is further increased by a cover 18 which is articulated on the side wall 16 via a tilt axis 17.
  • the cover 18 comprises a locking projection 19 which fits into a locking groove 20 of the bottom part 7. After closing the cover 18, the finished plug shape of the compact plug shown in FIG. 2 results.
  • This compact plug which can be plugged in as a structural unit on corresponding counterparts of a device or an intermediate plug-in part, is not only particularly easy to handle when plugging in. It also ensures high variability in adapting to different conditions, e.g. 3 and 4 is shown.
  • Fig. 3 shows the compact connector with a stratification of the individual heads I, II, III in such an order that it fits to mating contacts ST I, ST II, ST III of a device mating connector or adapter 21.
  • a modified design of the device mating connector or the intermediate plug part 21 with e.g.
  • the compact connector can be adapted to the new conditions by simply rearranging the individual plug heads I, II and III (or omitting individual plug heads or interposing empty pieces).
  • Fig. 4 such a rearrangement is shown according to the order III, I, II matching mating contacts ST III, ST I, ST II on a mating connector 22.
  • the compact plug comprises a total of three individual plug heads I, II and III.
  • compact plugs with a different number of individual plug heads i.e. also with e.g. ten individual plug heads or even more possible.
  • the rods I, II, III rounded on the head side can also have a different head shape. It is essential that the head shape of the individual plug heads I, II, III is designed to match the shape of the counterparts, as a result of which additional security is gained when the compact plug is plugged in.
  • the adjacent poles of the individual plug heads or counterparts can of course also be arranged in the manner of a coaxial connector.
