Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements to electrical connector housings.
  • the invention relates to connector housings formed from a female element intended to receive a male element, one of the elements containing male or female electrical connection members and the other of the corresponding members having to be connected.
  • the present invention relates to a system of this type which is of safe operation, of an acceptable cost price and of practical use.
  • Japanese Patent No. 5,841,745 describes an electrical connector provided with a system of this type.
  • the male housing element comprises an elastic bar which rocks from its end intended to be engaged in the female housing element and which comprises, at an intermediate point of its length, a stop intended to cooperate with a projection of said housing member.
  • Such an embodiment has a number of drawbacks.
  • the stroke is necessarily reduced and the reaction force of the elastic bar is low so that the dimensions of the housing are reduced.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to remedy these various drawbacks.
  • the improvements according to the invention are aimed at electrical connector housings of the type comprising a female housing element with an introduction opening, a male housing element, these two elements being intended to receive electrical connection members to be coupled, said housing being provided with a so-called “drain” system allowing the male element to be fully engaged and automatically locked when the male housing element has been inserted into a determined position in the housing element female, the male housing element comprising an elastic tongue extending laterally parallel to the direction of introduction of the male element into the female element and secured, at one end, to the male housing element and, by the other end, of a pillar located near the end of the element male housing intended to be engaged in the female element, said elastic bar comprising, at an intermediate point of its length, a stop, while the female housing element has a passage intended to receive the elastic bar and at a point intermediate which extends a projection located on the path of the stop, said improvements being characterized in that the elastic bar is inclined in the direction of the end of the male housing element opposite to that intended to be inserted in the female housing element
  • the elastic bar is integral with a sail whose free end is secured to a transverse bar connected by two legs elastic at the corresponding end of the male housing element.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a connector according to the invention.
  • FIGS 2, 3, 4 and 5 are sectional views showing the operation of the connector, object of the invention.
  • the connector shown in the figures, comprises a male housing element 1 and a female housing element 2 intended to receive the housing element 1.
  • the male housing element 1 comprises a series of channels 3 intended to each receive a female electrical connection member connected to a conductor. These bodies are known and are not shown here.
  • the male box element 1 has, on its lateral surface 4, two parallel ribs 3 intended to cooperate with corresponding slides 6 of the female box element 2.
  • the male housing element 1 In the vicinity of the end 9 intended to be introduced into the female housing element 2, the male housing element 1, on its face 4, comprises two pillars 7 supporting an elastic bar 8 whose free end is integral with one end 11 of the male housing element 1 opposite the end 9.
  • the elastic strip 8 is inclined from its end 8a adajacente at the end 9 to its end 8b adjacent to the end 11.
  • the bar 8 at an intermediate point of its length, is integral with a stop 18 affecting the shape of a parallelepiped block.
  • the female housing element is provided with a passage 20 intended to receive the pillar assembly 7 bar 8.
  • the passage 20 is partly closed by a protrusion 21 located on the path of the stop 18 and which has, on the side of the insertion opening of the male housing element, an abrupt 21 is connected at right angles to a part 21 b , itself connected at right angles to a steep retaining 21 c .
  • the bottom of the female housing element 2 is provided with male members 24 intended to cooperate with the female members of the channels 3.
  • the element 1 is engaged in the element 2, the ribs 5 come to cooperate with the slides 6, while the pillars 7 and the end 8 a are inserted in the passage 20 (see FIG. 2) until the stop 18 comes to bear against the abrupt 21 a .
  • the elastic bar 8 bends from its end 8 a to its end 8 b and thus (see Figures 2 and 4) the end of the stop 18 turned towards the pillars comes under part 21 b .
  • the reaction force of the bar 8 it is necessary to exert a slight pressure until said end of the stop has crossed the edge separating 21b and 21c.
  • the housing element 1 is automatically moved (in the direction of the arrow a see FIG. 4) to s 'fully engage in the housing element 2, the stopper 18 then cooperating with the retaining abutment 21c to ensure the locking of the housing elements between them (see FIG. 5).
  • the electrical connection members may have lengths such that they cooperate only when the stopper 18 cooperates with the angular part connecting the abrupt 21 c to the part 21 b and that it is thus certain that the elements of housing will fit together.
