Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electric terminal and is applicable particularly, but not exclusively, to reed switches and the like.
- FIGS.1 and 2 there is illustrated a typical example of the conventional reed switch device which generally includes a reed switch 3 having its leads fixed to a pair of terminal plates 1 and 1 by machine screws or soldering, a pair of terminal screws 9 and 9 threadedly engaging with respective terminal plates 1 and 1 for securing stripped end portions or lead portions of two insulated conductors 7 and 7 with washers 5, and a cashing 10, made of an electrically insulating material such as a synthetic resin, glass, etc., for covering the above-mentioned members.
- the threaded shank of terminal screw 9 is inserted into casing 10 from the outside, and the head thereof and the connection portion thereof with respect to conductor 7 are, as shown in FIG.2, exposed to the outside.
- the shank of terminal screw 9 is inserted into a lead portion to be connected of that conductor 7 which lead portion is curled like a ring as shown in FIG.1, and is then rotated to secure that lead portion.
- the curled lead portion of conductor 7 is secured by screw 9 with the curling direction of that lead portion being set in the loosening direction of screw 9, the original shape of the lead portion is deformed by the friction with washers 5 and 5 when screw 9 is tightened, so that the securing of the conductor end becomes less positive.
- washer 5 may be provided at its face with a substantially ring-shaped recess, into which the lead portion of a conductor is fitted for the securing thereof. This washer however places limits on the available diameter of the conductor. Furthermore, the connected portions of conductors 7 are exposed to the outside and therefore insulating means are required for insulatedly covering such connection portions when high voltage is applied to the electric terminals. From these reasons there exists a strong need for an electrical terminal which fastens a conductor more easily and positively in a more safe manner.
- the present invention provides an electric terminal for electrically connecting a conductor, comprising: a casing; a stationary member made of an electrically conductive material and attached to the casing, the stationary member having a recess formed therein; a movable member; and a screw member threadedly engaging with the movable member and rotatably supported by the casing so that the movable member moves towards and away from the stationary member by the rotation of screw member; whereby one end portion of the conductor is clamped between the stationary member and the movable member by fitting at least part of the movable member into the recess of the stationary member.
- FIG.3 illustrates a reed switch device incorporating a pair of electric terminals 12 and 12 according to the present invention, in which 13 designates a channel-shaped stationary member made of an electrically conductive material such as brass, the stationary member being fastened to a removable bottom plate 15 of a substantially box-shaped casing 11 by means of a screw or the like (not shown).
- a pair of terminal screws 9 and 9, which have each a washer 5 fitted around their shanks 23, are rotatably supported on a top portion of casing 11 by inserting as shown in FIG.4 their shanks into respective holes 21 formed through that top portion.
- the washer 5 is not necessarily used.
- each screw 9 threadedly engages with a web of a movable member 25 of a channel shape so that movable member 25 is opposed to stationary member 13.
- bottom plate 15 having a pair of stationary members 13 fixed to it is attached as shown in F I G. 3 to the casing 11 by means of machine screws not shown.
- the movable member 25 is moved towards and away from stationary member 13 by rotating terminal screw 9 with a screw driver, and is thereby received in a recess or channel 27 defined by the flanges 33 of stationary member 13.
- the shank 23 of terminal screw 9 is long enough to prevent movable member 25 from disengaging from screw 9.
- the thread of the end of the shank 23 may be stripped for this purpose.
- the opposite ends of movable member 25 slidably contacts the corresponding opposite side walls 14 of casing 11.
- each movable member 25 is raised by rotating terminal screw 9 to a position shown by a phantom line in FIG.4 where a vertical clearance is formed between the upper ends of flanges 33 and 33 of stationary member 13 and the lower ends of flanges 35 and 35 of movable member 25 so that a stripped end portion 37 of conductor 7 may easily pass through the clearance. Then, the end portion 37 is passed through a conductor inlet 31 formed through each of end walls 29 and 29, and is further passed through the vertical clearance so as to place it on the upper ends of flanges 33 and 33 of stationary member 13.
- terminal screw 9 is rotated in the reverse direction to lower movable member 25, and the lead portion 37 of conductor 7 which is in parallel with the bottom of stationary member 13 is thereby depressed by the lower ends of flanges 35 and 35 towards that bottom, so that it is deformed into a shape substantially of as shown in FIG.5.
- the lower outer edges of flanges 35 and 35 of movable member 25 and the upper inner edges of flanges 33 and 33 of stationary member bite into the thus deformed lead portion 37 of conductor 7, and the conductor 7 thereby generates at that lead portion stresses which withstand a tension exerted on the conductor.
- FIG.7 illustrates a modified form of the electric terminal in FIGS.3 to 5, in which the upper ends of flanges 33 and 33 are each provided with a square cutout 39, into which lead portion 37 of conductor 7 is inserted.
- the cutouts 39 more positively hold lead portion 37 of conductor 7.
- the cutout 39 may be of a semicircle or a V shape instead of rectangle.
- the lower ends of both the flanges of movable member 25 may be corrugated for more positively holding the lead portion of conductor 7.
- the movable member 25 may be made of any suitable electrically insulative material such as reinforced plastics, ceramics, etc. instead of brass, and it may be of a rectangular parallelepiped instead of the channel shape.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an electric terminal and is applicable particularly, but not exclusively, to reed switches and the like.
- In FIGS.1 and 2, there is illustrated a typical example of the conventional reed switch device which generally includes a
reed switch 3 having its leads fixed to a pair of terminal plates 1 and 1 by machine screws or soldering, a pair ofterminal screws conductors washers 5, and acashing 10, made of an electrically insulating material such as a synthetic resin, glass, etc., for covering the above-mentioned members. In many cases, the threaded shank ofterminal screw 9 is inserted intocasing 10 from the outside, and the head thereof and the connection portion thereof with respect toconductor 7 are, as shown in FIG.2, exposed to the outside. In connectingconductor 7, the shank ofterminal screw 9 is inserted into a lead portion to be connected of thatconductor 7 which lead portion is curled like a ring as shown in FIG.1, and is then rotated to secure that lead portion. However, if the curled lead portion ofconductor 7 is secured byscrew 9 with the curling direction of that lead portion being set in the loosening direction ofscrew 9, the original shape of the lead portion is deformed by the friction withwashers screw 9 is tightened, so that the securing of the conductor end becomes less positive. This is because the frictional force generated on the deformed lead portion of the conductor becomes smaller due to a smaller stress produced in it by the tightening ofterminal screw 9, and because when the lead portion ofconductor 7 consists of twisted wires, the wires are untwisted by the rotation ofscrew 9. It is therefore laborious and time consuming to positively connect theconductor 7. - In order to remove such drawbacks there has been adopted a method in which a terminal lug having an eye is soldered to the lead portion of a conductor, and is then fastened to an electric terminal by inserting
terminal screw 9 into the eye thereof and by tightening that screw. However it is also time consuming to solder the terminal lug to the conductor. Alternatively,washer 5 may be provided at its face with a substantially ring-shaped recess, into which the lead portion of a conductor is fitted for the securing thereof. This washer however places limits on the available diameter of the conductor. Furthermore, the connected portions ofconductors 7 are exposed to the outside and therefore insulating means are required for insulatedly covering such connection portions when high voltage is applied to the electric terminals. From these reasons there exists a strong need for an electrical terminal which fastens a conductor more easily and positively in a more safe manner. - Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electric terminal which fastens a conductor more easily and positively than the prior art electic terminals.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide an electric terminal which does not expose the portion, connected to the terminal, of a conductor to the outside whereby safety is enhanced when high voltage is applied to the terminal.
- With the above and other objects in view, the present invention provides an electric terminal for electrically connecting a conductor, comprising: a casing; a stationary member made of an electrically conductive material and attached to the casing, the stationary member having a recess formed therein; a movable member; and a screw member threadedly engaging with the movable member and rotatably supported by the casing so that the movable member moves towards and away from the stationary member by the rotation of screw member; whereby one end portion of the conductor is clamped between the stationary member and the movable member by fitting at least part of the movable member into the recess of the stationary member.

- Referring now to the drawings, like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughtout the several views. FIG.3 illustrates a reed switch device incorporating a pair of
electric terminals removable bottom plate 15 of a substantially box-shaped casing 11 by means of a screw or the like (not shown). A pair ofterminal screws washer 5 fitted around theirshanks 23, are rotatably supported on a top portion of casing 11 by inserting as shown in FIG.4 their shanks intorespective holes 21 formed through that top portion. Thewasher 5 is not necessarily used. Theshank 23 of eachscrew 9 threadedly engages with a web of amovable member 25 of a channel shape so thatmovable member 25 is opposed tostationary member 13. Then,bottom plate 15 having a pair ofstationary members 13 fixed to it is attached as shown in FIG. 3 to the casing 11 by means of machine screws not shown. Themovable member 25 is moved towards and away fromstationary member 13 by rotatingterminal screw 9 with a screw driver, and is thereby received in a recess orchannel 27 defined by theflanges 33 ofstationary member 13. Theshank 23 ofterminal screw 9 is long enough to preventmovable member 25 from disengaging fromscrew 9. Alternatively, the thread of the end of theshank 23 may be stripped for this purpose. In order to preventmovable member 25 from rotating aboutshank 23 ofscrew 9 during the vertical displacement thereof, the opposite ends ofmovable member 25 slidably contacts the correspondingopposite side walls 14 of casing 11. - In the connection of two insulated
conductors electrical terminals movable member 25 is raised by rotatingterminal screw 9 to a position shown by a phantom line in FIG.4 where a vertical clearance is formed between the upper ends offlanges stationary member 13 and the lower ends offlanges movable member 25 so that a strippedend portion 37 ofconductor 7 may easily pass through the clearance. Then, theend portion 37 is passed through aconductor inlet 31 formed through each ofend walls flanges stationary member 13. Thereafter,terminal screw 9 is rotated in the reverse direction to lowermovable member 25, and thelead portion 37 ofconductor 7 which is in parallel with the bottom ofstationary member 13 is thereby depressed by the lower ends offlanges flanges movable member 25 and the upper inner edges offlanges lead portion 37 ofconductor 7, and theconductor 7 thereby generates at that lead portion stresses which withstand a tension exerted on the conductor. In addition a resilient force which tends to return thedeformed lead 37 to its original shape is applied to the engaging edges offlanges conductor 7 is thus made positive by the combination of the biting of the edges offlanges lead portion 37 ofconductor 7 and the frictional force due to the restoring force of thedeformed lead portion 37. In FIG.6 there is illustrated the reed switch device to whichconductors conductors 7movable members 25 are raised by rotatingterminal screws - FIG.7 illustrates a modified form of the electric terminal in FIGS.3 to 5, in which the upper ends of
flanges square cutout 39, into whichlead portion 37 ofconductor 7 is inserted. Thecutouts 39 more positively holdlead portion 37 ofconductor 7. Thecutout 39 may be of a semicircle or a V shape instead of rectangle. Further, the lower ends of both the flanges ofmovable member 25 may be corrugated for more positively holding the lead portion ofconductor 7. - The
movable member 25 may be made of any suitable electrically insulative material such as reinforced plastics, ceramics, etc. instead of brass, and it may be of a rectangular parallelepiped instead of the channel shape. - Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.8. This
electrical terminal 41 includes a substantially channel-shapedstationary member 43 and a substantially L-shapedmovable member 51. Thestationary member 43 is provided with alonger flange 45 having afastening strip 47 integrally formed with it at a right angle. Thestationary member 43 is fastened to the inner face of each ofend walls 64 of casing 49 (FIG.9) by screwing fastening strip 47.to that inner face, with the channel of themember 43 being disposed in a vertical direction as in FIG. 8. On the other hand,movable member 51 is of an angle plate, and has alug 57 integrally formed with and projecting perpendicularly from the upper end of oneleg 53 ofmovable member 51.Terminal screw 9 threadedly engages with ahole 57 formed throughlug 55. Theother leg 59 ofmovable member 51 is vertically moved by rotating the correspondingterminal screw 9 and is'thereby moved vertically within the channel ofstationary member 43. Both the flanges ofstationary member 43 are provided at their central portions with concentric throughholes 61 only one of which is shown in FIG.8. The lead portions of twoconductors conductor inlets side walls 63 ofcasing 49 shown in FIG.9, and is then passed through the throughholes stationary member 43. Thereafter,movable member 51 is lowered by turning the correspondingterminal screw 9, so that the lead portion of theconductor 7 is deformed substantially into a -shape as in the first embodiment by the lower end ofleg 59, and it is thereby secured by theterminal 41. In this embodiment a pair ofbosses casing 49, and the shank ofterminal screw 9 is rotatably passed through the bottom of each ofbosses terminal screw 9 is received withinboss 67. This structure reduces the exposed area of the head ofterminal screw 9 and therefore increases safety in applying high votage toterminals - A modified form of the terminal 41 in FIG.8 is shown in FIG.10, in which a
push button 69 is used in place ofterminal screw 9. The shank ofpush button 69 is vertically attached to the upper face oflug 55, which is biased downwards by acoil spring 71. In the connection ofconductor 7,button 69 is depressed and the lead portion ofconductor 7 is thereby deformed and secured by the lower end ofleg 59 ofmovable member 51 in the same manner as in the second embodiment. - In FIGS.11 and 12, there is illustrated another modification of the electric terminal shown in FIGS.4 and 5. In this modification the clearance C between the
flange 33 ofstationary member 13 and the cooperatingflange 34 ofmovable member 25 is about the diameter ofcore conductor 37 ofinsulated conductor 7. Thestationary member 13 is provided at itsflanges holes hole 34 is substantially of a sector shape of which radii or V-shapedportion 34A converges downwards. Theinner edges 36 of V-shapedportion 34A is formed to contain an acute angle or a right angle. In connection, an end portion ofconductor 7 coated with aninsulation coating 72, such as a synthetic resin, is passed through bothholes terminal screw 9 is then rotated to depressmovable member 25, with the result thatonly insulation coating 72 is severed byinner edges 36 ofholes 34, so that theinner edges 36 come into electrical contact withcore conductor 37. Thus,conductor 7 is electrically connected tostationary member 13. This modification makes it unnecessary to strip thecoating 72 from the end portion ofconductor 7, and hence largely facilitates the connection ofinsulated conductor 7. In FIG. 11, 78 indicates a C-shaped clip resiliently fitted into a circular groove formed around a base portion of the shank ofterminal screw 9, and serves to preventterminal screw 9 from vertically moving. Such clip is provided to each ofterminal screws 9 in the preceding embodiments, but are not shown. - Instead of the
sector hole 34, ahole 74 of a shape shown in FIG.13 may be formed throughflanges stationary member 13. Thehole 74 is provided at the lower periphery thereof with aslot 76 extending downwards. The width W ofslot 76 must be slightly smaller than the diameter ofcore conductor 37 in order to severe only theinsulation coating 72 as in the modification in FIG.11. - While the invention has been disclosed in specific detail for purposes of clarity and complete disclosure, the appended claims are intended to include within their meaning all modifications and changes that come within the true scope of the invention.
