Definitions

  • Patent of Invention refers, as its title indicates, to "HOLDING MEANS FOR AN IMPROVED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY", whose new features of construction, shape and cesign fulfil the aim for which it has been specifically planned with maximum safety and effectiveness.
  • the invention refers to improvements introduced into Utility Model No. U9902921/9 of the same applicant, whose object is an improved electrical connector unit.
  • an improved electrical connector was claimed, of the type in which the coupling of the connector can be carried out by pressure or by using a sliding body provided with inclined side guides, which slides inside the connector box in such a way that when the operator introduces said sliding body into the connector box, the inclination of the guides causes said connector box to anchor in the service box.
  • an upper cover was claimed which was arranged so as to slide and provided with parallel arms adapted to couple with projections in the housing in order to fix the cover with respect to said housing and co-operate with the sliding blocking element to hold the connectors in said position.
  • Said sliding element insofar as it is a feature of the present invention, has a U shape in which its two arms are provided, as indicated above, with the corresponding inclined side guides.
  • a similar connector unit with a sliding blocking element is disclosed also in document EP 0 831 559 A .
  • the first stage is carried out in the factory itself where the connectors are manufactured where, after a series of operations completely divorced from the object of the present application, the connector is manufactured, which in this case is provided with four basic parts: the plug part of the connector, the socket part, the sliding body which serves as a coupling so that the plug part and the socket part are perfectly fixed and cannot separate, and the upper cover.
  • the sliding guide is usually placed in a pre-assembly position so that when it is transported from the first factory where the connector is manufactured to where the cabling attached to the same is carried out, small breakages in said guide or sliding body, which may be caused by unwanted effects such as knocks and falls in the packaging operation, are thus prevented.
  • the sliding body is introduced into the connector body or connector box itself.
  • the lack of holding elements in said sliding body causes, either at the time of transport or at the time of manufacture and assembly of said connector, the said sliding body to separate unexpectedly from the body or box of the connector.
  • U9902921 has been modified, so that it incorporates holding means which, as indicated in claim 1, are made up of a spur which emerges from the inner side of the arms of sliding body, provided with the corresponding step and at the same time with a doubly inclined plane which flows, combined with a flange situated in the connector body, to slide easily so that said step goes beyond the flange thanks to the doubly inclined plane which has been provided and is held by said flanges.
  • housing of the connector unit (2) connectors, (3) blocking element, (4, 5) arms of the blocking element, (6) inclined guides, (7, 8) guide cavities, (9, 10) inner projections of the housing, (11) upper cover of the housing, (12, 13) arms of the cover, (14) raised area of the housing, (15) projections of the raised area, (16) cavity for housing a clamp, (17 - 18) inner sides, (19) spurs, (20) step, (21) inclined planes, (22) flanges.
  • Figures 1 to 4 are a repetition of those used in utility model No. U9902921 of the same applicant, as the present invention refers to improvements in a connector of the type represented in said figures.
  • Figures 5 and 6 represent enlarged views of the connector body (1) and of the holding means which are the object of the present invention.
  • the electrical connector assembly which is the object of utility model No. U9902921 is made up of a blocking element (3) for the connectors (2), which comprises a body provided with sliding parallel arms (4-5) which are capable of moving with respect to the housing (1) of the connector itself.
  • Each arm (4-5) includes a series of inclined guides at a distance below which are introduced into guide cavities (7-8) made in the housing (1), sliding along inner projections made in the sides of said housing (1).
  • said means are provided formed by spurs (19) which emerge from said inner sides (17-18), forming a step (20) with the peculiarity that the plane (21) of the spur is doubly inclined, which facilitates the movement of the sliding and blocking element (3) which this time blocks, when it is in a completely withdrawn position inside the connector body (1), the plug and socket parts of the latter, while in an extended position it is held thanks to the flanges (9) provided in the body of said connector which work in combination with the spurs (19), the step (20) and the doubly inclined plane (21), so that once the sliding and blocking element (3) has been introduced inside and once said spur (19) has gone beyond the flange (22), which prevents said sliding and blocking element (3) from coming out of the connector box or body (1) so that the unwanted effects mentioned above are prevented, that is, the unexpected and unwanted exit of said sliding body (3) from inside the connector body (1), when the connector is being assembled and also during transport and subsequent
