Definitions

  • the invention relates to improvements in electrical connectors with locking lever.
  • the invention relates to electrical connectors comprising a male housing element containing a series of male or female electrical connection members, a female housing element containing a series of male or female connection members intended to cooperate with the connection members electric provided in the male housing element, one of the housing elements having an axis on which the ends of the wings of a stirrup are connected, connected by a core and constituting the locking lever, said wings each having a cam intended to cooperate with a lug of the corresponding walls of the other element so that the pivoting of the lever in one direction tends to engage the male element in the female element, while the pivoting in the other direction tends on the contrary to move the two so-called housing elements apart from one another, blocking means being provided to prevent any untimely opening lever.
  • GB patent 2,179,506 describes such an electrical connector, but in the embodiment described, there is provided a hook which blocks the lever in the locked position.
  • a hook which blocks the lever in the locked position.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a connector of the above type in which the means for blocking the lever can be released manually to allow the latter to pivot in the direction of uncoupling of the housing elements.
  • the improvements according to the invention relate to electrical connectors of the type comprising a male insulating housing element and a female insulating housing element, each of these elements comprising a series of male or female electrical connection members intended to cooperate with electrical connection members of the other element, one of said housing elements being provided with an axis on which the ends of the wings of a stirrup are articulated, the other ends of which are connected by a core and constitute the locking lever, said wings each having a cam intended to cooperate with a lug of the corresponding walls of the other element so that the pivoting of the lever in a direction tends to engage the male element in the female element, while that the pivoting in the opposite direction tends to separate the two said elements from one another, locking means being provided for wedging the lever in the position in which the two housing elements are assembled, said improvements being characterized in that the element on which the lever is articulated comprises, on its face facing the web of said lever, at least one flexible tab attached by the one of the ends of said face and extending substantially parallel to the direction of engagement of the two
  • the element on which the lever is articulated comprises on its face turned opposite the core of the lever two flexible tabs molded in one piece with said element and adjoining the latter by an end adjacent to the end of said element opposite to that intended to cooperate with the other element.
  • the face of the element on which the lever is articulated and which comprises the two flexible legs has, arranged between said flexible legs, at least one slide on which the key is guided, the latter having projections lateral intended to be inserted between said face and corresponding fingers of the flexible legs.
  • the face of the element on which the lever is articulated and which comprises the two flexible tabs comprises an elastic bar provided with a lock intended to cooperate selectively with two housings of the key, one of the housings corresponding to a waiting position of said key and the other to the locking position of the latter.
  • Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of an electrical connector according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the male housing member, the lever being assumed to be inclined.
  • Figure 3 Figure 4 and Figure 5 are schematic elevational views showing the locking of the lever.
  • Figures 6 and 7 are sectional views showing the pre-locking and locking positions of the key.
  • Figure 8 schematically shows the electrical contact members, a female member provided in a channel of the male element and a male member provided in the female element.
  • the connector shown in the figures comprises a female housing element 1 having an opening 2 through which project male tabs 3 connected to conductors or to electrical circuits.
  • the female housing element 1 On two opposite sides, the female housing element 1 has lugs 4.
  • the connector is completed by a male box element 6 which comprises a series of channels 7 each containing a female connection member 8 intended to cooperate with a male member 3 (see FIG. 8).
  • the element 6 has a skirt 10 intended to be inserted in the opening 2 of the element 1 and connected to a body 11 by a shoulder 12.
  • an axis 13 is provided on which a lever 14 is articulated.
  • the lever 14 has two branches 15 each having a cam 16 intended to cooperate with a lug 4, the branches being connected by a core 17.
  • the lever is made of metal and the lateral edges of the core are folded inwards.
  • the body 6 comprises, on one face 19, two flexible tabs 21 which are molded in one piece with the body and which are contiguous thereto by one of their ends adjacent to the edge of the body 11 opposite to that neighboring skirt 10.
  • the flexible tabs 21, on the side opposite to the face 19, have a convex surface 21 a .
  • the face 19, between the flexible legs 21, has two slides in the form of a dovetail 24 between which extends an elastic bar 25 having, in the vicinity of its free end, a latch 26 which on the side of the slides has a steep 26 a and, on the opposite side, an inclined ramp 26 b .
  • two stops 40 are also provided.
  • the key 29 is provided with two housings 31 and 32 having shapes corresponding to the lock 26 and which can selectively cooperate with it (see figures 6 and 7).
  • the pins 4 are intended to cooperate with the cams 16.
  • the skirt 10 is engaged in the opening until the pins are inserted into the ends of the cams 16 which have a notch 16 a corresponding to the extreme position.
  • the flexible tabs 21 return to their initial position (see fig. 5). If the key is pushed in the direction of the arrow (fig. 5), the lock 2 6 escapes the housing 31 and is placed in the housing 32. In this position, the projections 30 are inserted under the fingers 22 and the flexible tabs 21 can no longer be folded so that the lever 14 can no longer be brought back to the unlocked position. The sliding of the key 29 towards this locking position is limited by the stops 40. In this position, the electrical contact members 3 are inserted into the members 8.
