Description

Zwischenstecker, insbesondere elektrische, sind bekannt. Regelmäßig dienen sie zur Verbindung nicht kompatibler Stecker und/oder Buchsen oder sie weisen Schaltungselemente wie Schalter oder Filter und dergleichen auf.Intermediate plugs, in particular electrical ones, are known. They regularly serve to connect incompatible plugs and / or sockets or they have circuit elements such as switches or filters and the like.

Bei Fotoapparaten mit separaten Elektronen-Blitzgeräten ist handelsüblich ein Steuerkabel zur Blitzsynchronisation vorgesehen mit einem Stecker, der in eine Buchse an den den Verschluß enthaltenden Teil der Kamera, dem Gehäuse oder dem Objektiv, gesteckt wird. Es handelt sich um zweipolige Koaxialstecker und -Buchsen, bei denen die mechanische Verbindung durch die Reibung der im Paßsitz sich berührenden elektrischen Kontaktelemente bewirkt wird. Überwiegend sind dabei Stecker und Kupplungen gemäß DIN 19003 gebräuchlich.In cameras with separate electronic flash units, a control cable for flash synchronization is usually provided with a plug which is plugged into a socket on the part of the camera containing the shutter, the housing or the lens. These are two-pole coaxial plugs and sockets, in which the mechanical connection is brought about by the friction of the electrical contact elements touching in a snug fit. Mostly plugs and couplings according to DIN 19003 are used.

Dabei kommt es vielfach durch unbeabsichtigtes Ziehen am Steuerkabel zur Trennung der Verbindung, da die Reibung nur eine geringe Haltekraft bewirkt.The connection is often disconnected due to unintentional pulling on the control cable, since the friction causes only a low holding force.

Handelsübliche Photoobjektive mit Zentralverschluß von Carl Zeiss weisen in der Buchse einen Gummiring auf, der mit einem normalen Stecker die Reibung erhöht und Toleranzen überbrückt.Commercial photo lenses with a central shutter from Carl Zeiss have a rubber ring in the socket, which increases the friction and bridges tolerances with a normal plug.

Aufgabe der Neuerung ist es, die mechanische Verbindung zwischen einem Stecker und einer Buchse zu verbessern, insbesondere die Haltekraft zu erhöhen.The object of the innovation is to improve the mechanical connection between a plug and a socket, in particular to increase the holding force.

Dies gelingt mit einem Zwischenstecker nach Anspruch 1 mit einer Buchse mit einem Hohlzylinder und einer Vorrichtung zum Zusammendrücken des Hohlzylinders und mit einem Stecker mit Außenzylinder mit vorstehender Rastnase.This is achieved with an adapter plug according to claim 1 with a socket with a hollow cylinder and a device for compressing the hollow cylinder and with a plug with an outer cylinder with the protruding catch.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche 2-7.Advantageous embodiments are the subject of dependent claims 2-7.

Für die spezielle Situation beim Fotoapparat ergibt sich die Lösung nach Anspruch 8, wobei vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen nach Anspruch 9 Zwischenstecker nach mindestens einem der Ansprüche 1-7 vorsehen.For the special situation in the camera there is the solution according to claim 8, wherein advantageous embodiments according to claim 9 provide plug connectors according to at least one of claims 1-7.

Der in Figur 1 im Längsschnitt dargestellte neuerungsgemäße Zwischenstecker 1 ist zum Zusammenwirken mit Steckern und Kupplungen der für die Blitzsynchronisations-Steuerleitung von Fotoapparaten gebräuchlichen Art, insbesondere nach Norm DIN 19003, ausgelegt. Der Zwischenstecker 1 besteht aus einer Buchse B und einem Stecker S. Der Hohlzylinder 13 bildet die mechanische Kontaktfläche und die elektrische Kontaktfläche des äußeren Pols der Buchse B. Durch eine Klemmschraube 14 kann er (13) zusammengedrückt werden und dann den zylindrischen Polschuh eines passenden Steckers klemmen.The adapter 1 according to the invention shown in longitudinal section in FIG. 1 is designed to interact with plugs and couplings of the type customary for the flash synchronization control line of cameras, in particular according to the standard DIN 19003. The intermediate plug 1 consists of a socket B and a plug S. The hollow cylinder 13 forms the mechanical contact surface and the electrical contact surface of the outer pole of the socket B. By means of a clamping screw 14 it (13) can be pressed together and then the cylindrical pole piece of a suitable plug jam.

Mit dem Hohlzylinder 13 bildet der Außenzylinder 11 des Steckers S ein gemeinsames Teil 10. Der Außenzylinder 11 weist als Rastnocke 12 eine umlaufende Erhebung auf. Mit einem Isolierteil 16 ist mittig in das Teil 10 der Stift 15 mit dem Hohlzylinder 152 buchsenseitig (B) und dem Kontaktstift 151 steckerseitig (S) eingesetzt.The outer cylinder 11 of the plug S forms a common part 10 with the hollow cylinder 13. The outer cylinder 11 has a circumferential elevation as the locking cam 12. With an insulating part 16, the pin 15 with the hollow cylinder 152 on the socket side (B) and the contact pin 151 on the plug side (S) is inserted centrally into the part 10.

Im Bereich des Hohlzylinders 13 ist auf das Isolierteil 16 eine Metallhülse 17 aufgepreßt. Diese klemmt zum einen den Stift 15 im Isolierteil 16 fest und stützt zum anderen den äußeren Pol eines Steckers ab, der im Hohlzylinder 13 gegebenenfalls eingeklemmt ist. Der Hohlzylinder 13 kann längs mehrfach geschlitzt sein, wie bei Spannzangen üblich, um die Klemmung zu erleichtern.In the region of the hollow cylinder 13, a metal sleeve 17 is pressed onto the insulating part 16. On the one hand, this clamps the pin 15 firmly in the insulating part 16 and secondly supports the outer pole of a plug which may be clamped in the hollow cylinder 13. The hollow cylinder 13 can be slit several times lengthways, as is usual with collets, in order to facilitate the clamping.

Figur 2 zeigt schematisch im Schnitt den Steckerteil S des Zwischensteckers 1 eingesteckt in eine Buchse 211. Diese Buchse 211 entspricht weitgehend dem Buchsen-Teil B des Zwischensteckers 1 bzw. einer Buchse nach Norm DIN 19003. In einer Nut des Hohlzylinders 213 eingelassen ist ein elastischer (Gummi-) Ring 214. Mit einem Isolierstück 216 ist der hohlzylindrische Innenkontakt 252 in der Buchse 211 befestigt. Eine solche Buchse 211 ist handelsüblich in Photoobjektiven mit Zentralverschluß der Firma Carl Zeiss.Figure 2 shows schematically in section the plug part S of the intermediate plug 1 inserted into a socket 211. This socket 211 largely corresponds to the socket part B of the intermediate plug 1 or a socket according to standard DIN 19003. An elastic is embedded in a groove of the hollow cylinder 213 (Rubber) ring 214. The hollow cylindrical inner contact 252 is fastened in the socket 211 with an insulating piece 216. Such a socket 211 is commercially available in photo lenses with a central shutter from Carl Zeiss.

Der Hohlzylinder 213 der Buchse 211 steht in reibendem mechanischem (Paßsitz) und in elektrischem Kontakt zur umlaufenden Rastnocke 12 des Zwischensteckers 1. Der elastische Ring 214 liegt am rückwärtigen Teil des Außenzylinders 11 und der umlaufenden Rastnocke 12 an und bildet so eine Rastverbindung von Buchse 211 und Zwischenstecker 1, deren Haltekraft wesentlich höher ist, als die des üblichen Paßsitzes, auch wenn der Gummiring 214 in der Buchse 211 für erhöhte Reibung sorgt, die andererseits aber auch noch gut von Hand lösbar ist. Die Klemmverbindung des Buchsenteils B des Zwischensteckers 1 mit einem eingeführten Stecker ist so ausgelegt, daß die Haltekraft wesentlich höher als die der Rastverbindung von Zwischenstecker 1 und Buchse 211 ist, so daß bei der routinemäßigen Handhabung zum Anschließen und Trennen der Verbindung zwischen Buchse 211 und Kabel mit dem vorhandenen Stecker der Zwischenstecker 1 zuverlässig mit dem Stecker und Kabel verbunden bleibt.The hollow cylinder 213 of the bushing 211 is in frictional mechanical (snug fit) and electrical contact with the circumferential locking cam 12 of the intermediate connector 1. The elastic ring 214 rests on the rear part of the outer cylinder 11 and the circumferential locking cam 12 and thus forms a snap-in connection of the bushing 211 and adapter plug 1, the holding force of which is considerably higher than that of the customary fit, even if the rubber ring 214 in the bushing 211 provides increased friction, which on the other hand can also be easily released by hand. The clamp connection of the female part B of the intermediate connector 1 with an inserted connector is designed so that the holding force is significantly higher than that of the snap-in connection of the intermediate connector 1 and the socket 211, so that during routine handling for connecting and disconnecting the connection between the socket 211 and the cable with the existing connector, the intermediate connector 1 remains reliably connected to the connector and cable.

Der Zwischenstecker 1 ist auch in jede normgerechte Buchse ohne Gummiring einsteckbar, die volle Kompatibilität mit Normteilen ist also gegeben.The adapter plug 1 can also be inserted into any standard-compliant socket without a rubber ring, so that it is fully compatible with standard parts.

Die bevorzugte Anwendung des neuen Zwischensteckers 1 bei einem Fotoapparat zeigt Figur 3 schematisch.The preferred application of the new adapter plug 1 in a camera is shown schematically in FIG.

Eine Kamera 2 bestehend aus Gehäuse 22 und Objektiv 21 mit Zentralverschluß 212 trägt am Objektiv 21 eine Buchse 211 gemäß Figur 2, an der das Blitz-Synchronisationssignal anliegt. Ein Blitzgerät 3 (Elektronenblitz) ist mit bekannten Mitteln mechanisch mit der Kamera 2 verbunden und hat ein Anschlußkabel 31 mit Stecker 311 nach Norm DIN 19003. Dieser Stecker 311 ist in den Zwischenstecker 1 eingeklemmt und der Zwischenstecker 1 ist gemäß Figur 2 in die Buchse 211 am Objektiv 21 eingerastet. Die Kabelverbindung von der Kamera 2 zum Blitzgerät 3 ist damit zuverlässig gegen unbeabsichtigte Trennung gesichert.A camera 2 consisting of housing 22 and lens 21 with central shutter 212 carries on the lens 21 a socket 211 according to FIG. 2, to which the flash synchronization signal is present. A flash unit 3 (electron flash) is mechanically connected to the camera 2 by known means and has a connecting cable 31 with a plug 311 according to the DIN 19003 standard. This plug 311 is clamped in the intermediate plug 1 and the intermediate plug 1 is in the socket 211 according to FIG snapped onto the lens 21. The cable connection from the camera 2 to the flash unit 3 is thus reliably secured against unintentional disconnection.

Es ist klar, daß ein Zwischenstecker gemäß der Neuerung nicht auf die Dimensionierung und Verwendung gemäß dem Beispiel aus der Phototechnik beschränkt ist. Andere, auch mehrpolige, Steckerformate und z.B. Ausführungen als LichtleitfaserKupplung sind ebenfalls möglich. Bei einem Stecker/Buchse-Paar mit mechanischer Haltekraft durch Reibung bei Paßsitz, unterstützt durch ein elastisches Element, wird die Haltekraft durch den neuerungsgemäßen Zwischenstecker erhöht, indem ein Rastnocken am Zwischenstecker im Zusammenwirken mit dem elastischen Element des einen Elementes des Stecker/Buchse-Paars eine Rastverbindung schafft und das andere Element am Zwischenstecker festgeklemmt wird.It is clear that an adapter plug according to the innovation is not limited to the dimensioning and use according to the example from the photo technology. Other, also multi-pole, connector formats and e.g. Versions as an optical fiber coupling are also possible. In the case of a plug / socket pair with mechanical holding force due to friction when fitted, supported by an elastic element, the holding force is increased by the intermediate plug according to the invention by a locking cam on the intermediate plug in cooperation with the elastic element of the one element of the plug / socket pair creates a snap connection and the other element is clamped to the adapter plug.
