Definitions

  • connection devices that are used to connect electrically two electrical devices or electronics, such as a telephone device portable to a battery charger or headset listening.
  • jack which are in the form of a sheath, generally of circular section, in the opening of which comes snap on a circular cross-section spindle.
  • the scabbard is carried by the device while the spindle constitutes the end of a cable with several conductors.
  • the sheath and the pin each have as many parts lengthwise separated by insulating parts, conductive parts cooperating sheath and spindle to make electrical contact between them.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a electrical connection device between a cable and a electrical / electronic device that does not have the disadvantages of connection devices electric of the prior art, in particular of the "jack" type listed above.
  • This goal is achieved by implementing a electrical connection in two parts, part of which has connected circular conductive tracks electrically to conductors to be connected while the other part has elastic contacts each cooperating with a conductive circular track and electrically connected to conductors at connect, the two parts of the connection device electric being assembled by a snap elastic that maintains pressure between each track conductive circular and elastic contact corresponding.
  • the invention relates more particularly to an element fixed electrical connection of an electronic device to connect at least one electrical conductor the electronic device to a moving part of electrical connection located outside the electronic device, characterized in that it includes, on the outside of the electronic device, at least one conductive circular track arranged on a front face, said conductive circular track being connected, on the inside of the device electronic, to a rear side of said conductor electrical appliance electronics by through an electrical conductor arranged in a bore passing through the fixed element.
  • the conductor passing through the element fixed is electrically connected to an elastic contact provided to cooperate with a fixed electrical terminal of the electronic device comprising said conductor electrical appliance.
  • the elastic contact of the fixed element has a first end which is movable to cooperate with said fixed terminal of the electronic device and a second end which is fixed and integral with the fixed element.
  • the fixed element further comprises at least one electrical conductor arranged on the external surface of said fixed element for electrically connecting to minus a circular part from the front to the face rear of the fixed element.
  • the electrical conductor arranged on the external surface is connected to an elastic contact arranged on the face rear of the fixed element.
  • the electrical conductor arranged on the external surface of the fixed element is in the form of a layer conductive deposited on all or part of the surface external.
  • the front face of the fixed element comprises means assembly, such as a groove, provided to cooperate with the mobile element of electrical connection.
  • the fixed element of electrical connection comprises, in in addition, mounting means for fixing it so removable on the electronic device and means attached to the electronic device to cooperate with the mounting means to set up and keep said element fixed.
  • These mounting means comprise an elastic ring designed to snap into place on a groove of the front face of the fixed element.
  • the elastic ring includes longitudinal slots to increase elasticity.
  • the elastic ring is made of insulating material or conductive material, this cooperating conductive material with the electrical conductors arranged on the external surface of the fixed element, especially when these conductors are in the form of conductive layers covering all or part of the external surface of the fixed element.
  • the invention also relates to a device for electrical connection characterized in that it comprises a fixed element and a mobile element as defined above, the movable element snapping onto the face front of the fixed element.
  • the invention further relates to an apparatus electronics comprising a fixed element as defined above.
  • An electrical connection device 10 according to the invention comprises two separate parts or elements 12 and 14 which are snapped together elastic type for example.
  • the one that is connected to a cable with n conductors includes n contacts elastic bands 16 which are housed in a shaped socket 18 elbow or straight.
  • the socket 18 is made of material insulator, for example rigid plastic.
  • An extremity 20 of each electrical contact 18 comes out from one side 26 of the bend to be connected to a cable conductor while the other end 22 is curved in shape of U to form an elastic contact 24 which emerges from the other side 28 of the elbow relative to a bottom 30.
  • the side 28 of the elbow extends beyond the bottom 30 and contacts 24 in the form of a section ring 32 circular whose elastic end 34 comes snap into a circular groove 36 of the part 14.
  • This ring 32 is preferably made of conductive metal electric and can have three slots 60 on its outer periphery, which gives it better elasticity for the snap on part 14. The that this ring 32 is conductive is set to profit to detect the electrical connection between two parts of the connection device.
  • the ring 32 can be, in certain applications, in insulating material such as socket 18 and, in this case is an integral part of the latter and presents the slots 60 for obtaining a better snap elasticity.
  • Part 14 the one that is connected to some electronic circuits of the device to be connected to cable, has a generally cylindrical shape of revolution having circular grooves 36 and 38.
  • Each circular track 62, 64 and 66 is associated respectively a through bore 72, 74 and 76 which is used for the passage of a connecting conductor between a track and one of the three electrical output contacts 82, 84 and 86 to the electronic circuits.
  • This connecting conductor between the circular track 62, 64 or 66 and the corresponding contact 82, 84 and 86 is made, for example, as a layer conductive lining the walls of the bore corresponding.
  • Each bore opens from one side to a conductive circular track and, on the other side, on a conductive layer 92 for the bore 72, 94 for bore 74 and 96 for bore 76.
  • Each conductive circular track is isolated from a adjacent circular track by a circular area insulator 42a, 42b, 42c corresponding to the absence of driver deposit. It is the same with the layers conductors 92, 94 and 96 which are separated from each other others by insulating zones 60.
  • the other two electrical contacts 88 and 90 intended to be connected to electronic circuits and arranged on either side of the central contacts 82, 84 and 86, are each electrically connected to a conductive layer 100 and 102 covering the surface part 14, including grooves 34 and 38.
  • These conductive layers 100 and 102 are isolated electrically from one another by a zone 104 without conductor depot, this zone 104 delimiting each layer 100 and 102 to one half of the outer surface in ending, on one side, in the insulating circular zone 42c of larger diameter and, on the other side, at the insulating zone 60b and 60a.
  • Part 14 in particular the electrical contacts 82 to 90, is provided to cooperate with the support 50 of the electronic circuits and, more specifically, with the output terminals of these electronic circuits.
  • the contacts 82 to 90 are arranged on a plate 52 which must be arranged parallel to the support 50, the plate extending laterally, the lateral extensions 54 coming to be embedded in cutouts 56 of the walls of the housing 58 containing the electronic circuits arranged on the support 50.
  • part 14 is maintained on the housing by a cutout 42 cooperating with the groove 38.
