Definitions
- the invention relates to a plug with a sleeve and with a position of use in the sleeve arranged insulator and with elongated contacts which are held in holes or holes in the insulator, wherein a contact is arranged as a grounding contact parallel to the other contacts within a perforation or bore which has a lateral opening for an electrically conductive retaining spring which defines the grounding contact in the position of use in its perforation or bore.
- Such a plug is off EP 1 275 173 B1 known and has proven itself, because it is easy to manufacture and in a one-piece design of the insulator fixing the contacts, whether contact pins, be it contact socket, in a simple manner.
- EP 1 275 173 B1 also the possibility of grounding one of the contact pins with a retaining spring, so to use it as a ground contact and at the same time set in the axial direction of its course within the insulator.
- the retaining spring provided here has two grounding detent engaging and encompassing spring arms and must be inserted after insertion of the grounding contact radially through a lateral opening of the insulator. This complicates the assembly, because the contact pin is only then fixed in the correct position when the retaining spring is mounted in turn.
- the existing contact surface on the spring arms is relatively small.
- the male part of the contact spring carries at least one extending on its outside spring arm, which has a free, the male part projecting end a radially inwardly extending, in the insertion of the ground contact projection, the grounding contact in the use position acted upon fixing and that the grounding contact on the acted upon by the projection of the spring arm position has a recess and the pivoting of the spring arm corresponds to at least the depth of engagement of its projection in this recess or recess.
- the retaining spring with its plug-in part from the side in the insulating body and then move the grounding contact as the other contacts, be it pins or sockets, axially in its position of use and position.
- the earthing contact automatically penetrates the plug-in part and comes into contact with it.
- the male part and the retaining spring can So be provided on the insulating body before the grounding contact is mounted. Accordingly easy then the assembly of this grounding contact by a simple insertion into its hole or hole, and also in the male part of the retaining spring.
- the spring arm with its projection fix the grounding contact, so set, so that a simple, even previously usual insertion movements for the ground contact sufficient to mount it.
- the spring arm can protrude with a relaxed spring with its projection through a lateral opening of the insulating body in the interior of the opening or bore and be radially pivotable through the pluggable grounding contact.
- the grounding contact in its axial insertion movements in this way, the first partially in its displacement projection of the spring arm displace laterally or radially, thereby pivoting the spring arm until the serving to engage the projection of the spring arm recess has arrived in the region of this projection
- the lateral opening for the projection of the spring arm can be arranged in the axial direction adjacent to the lateral opening for the insertion of the male part in the insulating body.
- the insulator is provided as little as necessary with lateral openings or they have the smallest possible size, on the one hand sufficient to pass the male part, and on the other hand, an adjacent opening with a correspondingly smaller dimension, the passage of the projection of the spring arm in the radial direction of outside in the path of the ground contact allows.
- the part of the insulating located between the side openings supports the spring arm from the inside, so that it can rest firmly against the inside of the sleeve and ground.
- the ring shape of the recess makes it possible to introduce the grounding contact, which usually has a circular cross-section, in any rotational orientation in its hole or bore and still allow the snap or snap connection with the tongue-like projection of the spring arm.
- the tapered shape of the boundary of the recess in the insertion direction before this depression facilitates the lateral displacement of the spring arm with its projection.
- the projection of the spring arm on its free end has a particular oriented in the axial direction retaining tongue or broadening, whereby the depression filled or a stop can be made to one of the boundaries of the recess, if the ground contact would have reached its exact axial position.
- the insertion part of the retaining spring has a larger lateral dimension than the lateral opening of the insulating body and corresponds approximately to the lateral dimension or the diameter of the hole or hole for the ground contact, and if the insertion part transversely to its inner longitudinal cavity or in the radial direction against its elasticity is compressible so far that it can be inserted through the side opening, which may also be slightly conical.
- the plug can therefore be brought by a lateral opening of the insulating in its position of use and then engage behind the edges of the lateral opening due to its inherent elasticity, so that it is held captive and largely positive fit.
- the retaining spring can be pre-assembled, so that subsequently only the grounding contact has to be inserted and locked in order to finish the assembly.
- Grounding contact is secured or locked against radial compression. Located. the grounding contact in the use position so the retaining spring can not be pulled out of the lateral opening of the insulator. At the same time, however, the spring arm extends to this outer side outside the lateral opening and can come into contact with the insulating body receiving sleeve to bring about the desired grounding.
- the insertion part of the retaining spring is designed as a sleeve, which touches the grounding contact in the position of use on the outside at least partially flat.
- a correspondingly large contact surface between the retaining spring and grounding contact is available in this way.
- the electrically conductive retaining spring of at least partially electrical current conductive material, in particular made of metal.
- the sleeve-shaped insertion part has at least one extending approximately in the axial direction, in particular continuous slot or the like interruption and in the relaxed state has a smaller cross-section than the ground contact. This expands when inserted into its position of use the male part, so that it is pressed well by the restoring forces occurring at the ground contact and leads to a correspondingly secure electrical contact.
- the spring arm may in particular be integrally attached to the front end in the insertion direction of the retaining spring and its plug-in part and extending in the insertion direction. As a result, this spring arm extends over a maximum length of the retaining spring and can make good contact with the sleeve of the plug. In addition occurs in the axial insertion of the ground contact and its application to the projection of the spring arm in addition to the radial pivoting on a certain axial load, which acts in the above arrangement as a tensile force on the spring arm and therefore can not lead to its compression.
- the retaining spring when with her Insertion and in particular with its spring arm is integrally bent from a part or stamped part.
- a slightly wider part of such a stamped part can be rolled into a sleeve, while a narrow part extending from this wider part can form the spring arm, at the free end of which the aforementioned projection can optionally be formed with additional retaining tongue or the like widening.
- the spring arm of the retaining spring may have a widening extending in the transverse direction of its extension broadening to increase the contact area to the inside of the current-conducting sleeve of the plug.
- connector 1 has a housing forming its sleeve 2 and a position of use in the interior of this sleeve 2 arranged and fixed insulating body 3 and elongated pin-like contacts 4, which may be pins or contact sockets, in which therefore the mating connector then pins.
- the insulating body 3 contains holes or holes 6, in which the contacts 4 are fixed, wherein a contact is arranged as a grounding contact 5 parallel to the other contacts 4 within one of these holes or holes 6, which has a lateral opening 8 for an electrically conductive, in the Whole designated 9 retaining spring which defines the grounding contact 5 in the use position in its perforation or hole 6.
- the retaining spring 9 has a continuous in the axial direction, in the position of use within the perforation or bore 6 of the insulator 3 arranged insertion part 10, whose inner light section cross-section 3 to 5 approximately corresponds to the outer cross section of the substantially pin-shaped or sleeve-shaped grounding contact 5 and is located in the position of use within the insulating body 3 in alignment and coaxial with the opening or perforation 6 of the insulating body 3 for the grounding contact 5.
- the grounding contact 5 is thus at the same time inserted into its hole or hole 6 during axial insertion into this previously mounted plug 10 and inserted.
- this insertion part 10 of the retaining spring 9 fits through the lateral opening 8 of the insulating body 3, so it can be brought from the side through this opening 8 in its position of use.
- Fig.1 is the retaining spring 9 and its plug 10 recognizable even before this assembly, while 3 and 4 the position of use of the retaining spring 9 and its insertion part 10th demonstrate. You can see in the 3 and 4 Also, that the lateral opening 8 is slightly conical with a to the center of the insulating body 3 slightly reducing cross-section, which facilitates the insertion of the male part 10.
- the plug 10 carries a spring arm 11 extending on its outside, which at its free end projecting beyond the plug 10 has a radially inwardly directed projection 12 extending into the insertion path of the earthing contact 5 and which holds the earthing contact 5 in the position of use fixing in a manner to be described and applied in the axial direction.
- Figure 5 protrudes the projection 12 of the spring arm 11 in a relaxed position or relaxed spring through a lateral opening 13 of the insulating body 3 in the interior of the opening or bore 6 and is radially pivotable through the plug-in ground contact 5.
- the lateral opening 13 is arranged for the projection '12 of the spring arm 11 in the axial direction adjacent to the lateral opening 8 for the insertion of the male member 10 in the insulating body 3, wherein the two openings 8 and 13 of the dimensions and distances of the male member 10 and of the projection 12 correspond to each other.
- annular groove-like recess 7 is bounded by a circumferential ring or collar 14, which is tapered, conical or frusto-conical on its side facing away from the recess 7 and 14a in the insertion direction to the insertion of the grounding contact 5. Applying and radial pivoting of the projection 12 of the spring arm '11 easier.
- the projection 12 of the spring arm 11 at its free end has an axially oriented retaining tab 15 which, according to Figure 5 in the position of use abuts on the trained as a collar 14 boundary of the groove 7.
- the male part 10 of the retaining spring 9 has a larger lateral or radial dimension than the lateral opening 8 of the insulating body 3 and thereby corresponds approximately to the lateral dimension or the diameter of the hole or hole 6 for the grounding contact 5, so that the male part 10th in use position this hole 6 practically fills with its outside.
- the male part 10 is compressible transversely to its inner longitudinal cavity or in the radial direction against the elasticity of its material so far that it can be inserted through the lateral opening 8. In this case, this lateral or radial compression can be supported by the slightly conical shape of the lateral opening 8.
- the user can thus insert the retaining spring 9 and in particular its plug 10 in the lateral opening 8 and the Holding spring 9 parallel to push itself through the opening 8, wherein the male member 10 first yields slightly, then to take its original shape inside the hole or hole 6 again.
- the male member 10 thus enters a kind of undercut and is held in a form-fitting manner and thus captive.
- the male member 10 is secured in the position of use by the form-fitting passing through ground contact 5 against radial compression or locked and thus hold so the two parts, namely the ground contact 5 and the retaining spring 9 mutually fixed in their position of use.
- the male part 10 of the retaining spring 9 is formed as a sleeve which touches the ground contact 5 in the use position outside at least partially flat, which gives a good electrical contact, but is also supported by the projection 12 of the spring arm 11 and the retaining tongue 15 so that in each case there is a good electrical contact between grounding contact 5 and retaining spring 9, even if there should be gaps in one or the other area.
- the sleeve-shaped insertion part 10 has an approximately axially extending slot 16 or the like interruption and may have a smaller cross-section than the ground contact 5 in the relaxed state, so that this can expand the sleeve-shaped plug 10 slightly when inserted to improve the contact.
- the electrically conductive retaining spring 9 consists namely of at least partially electrical current conductive material, in particular of metal. This is especially in the Fig.1 . 5 and 6 to 9 It is clear that the spring arm 11 is integrally attached to the front end 10a of the male member 10 and the retaining spring 9 in the insertion direction of the ground contact 5, and is arranged to extend in the insertion direction. When inserting the grounding contact 5 so this comes first with the end 10a of the retaining spring 9 into contact, of which the spring arm 11 extends in the direction of further insertion movement.
- the retaining spring 9 is in this case with its plug 10 and with its spring arm 11 in one piece from a part, preferably bent from a stamped part. Corresponding stampings are in the Fig.7 and 9 shown and clearly recognizes a wider area that will form the male 10 and from which the spring arm 11 goes off.
- the spring arm serving as a grounding spring 11 has a flat planar cross-section and is in the use position in the circular arc-shaped joint 18 clamped between the circular in cross-section inside the sleeve 2 and the outside of the insulating body 3, resulting in a correspondingly good contact.
- the plug 1 with a designed as a sleeve housing 2 and an insulator 3 arranged therein, which holds elongated contacts 4, has an electrically conductive retaining spring 9 for a grounding contact 5, which has a continuous in the axial direction and in particular sleeve-shaped, in use position within a perforation or hole 6 of the insulator 3 arranged insertion part 10 for the grounding contact 5, wherein the male part 10 of the retaining spring 5 through a lateral opening 8 of the insulator 3 fits and the bore 6 with this side opening 8 forms an undercut for the slightly elastically compressible male member 10 , On the outside of the male part 10 extends a spring arm 11, which is also arranged in the position of use on the outside of the insulating body 3, which contacts the inside of the sleeve 3 and has an inwardly directed projection 12 arranged at its free end. engages in a recess or recess 7 of the grounding contact 5 and determines the grounding contact 5 in the axial direction.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Stecker mit einer Hülse und mit einem in Gebrauchsstellung in der Hülse angeordneten Isolierkörper sowie mit länglichen Kontakten, die in Lochungen oder Bohrungen des Isolierkörpers gehalten sind, wobei ein Kontakt als Erdungskontakt parallel zu den übrigen Kontakten innerhalb einer Lochung oder Bohrung angeordnet ist, welche eine seitliche Öffnung für eine elektrisch leitende Haltefeder aufweist, die den Erdungskontakt in Gebrauchsstellung in seiner Lochung oder Bohrung festlegt.The invention relates to a plug with a sleeve and with a position of use in the sleeve arranged insulator and with elongated contacts which are held in holes or holes in the insulator, wherein a contact is arranged as a grounding contact parallel to the other contacts within a perforation or bore which has a lateral opening for an electrically conductive retaining spring which defines the grounding contact in the position of use in its perforation or bore.
Ein derartiger Stecker ist aus
Dabei geht aus
Es besteht deshalb die Aufgabe, einen Stecker der eingangs definierten Art zu schaffen, bei welchem die Montage des Erdungskontakts vereinfacht ist und die Kontaktfläche vergrößert sein kann.It is therefore an object to provide a connector of the type defined, in which the mounting of the ground contact is simplified and the contact surface can be increased.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist vorgesehen, dass der Einsteckteil der Kontaktfeder wenigstens einen an seiner Außenseite verlaufenden Federarm trägt, der an einem freien, den Einsteckteil überragenden Ende einen radial nach innen gerichteten, in den Einsteckweg des Erdungskontakts reichenden Vorsprung hat, der den Erdungskontakt in Gebrauchsstellung fixierend beaufschlagt und dass der Erdungskontakt an der von dem Vorsprung des Federarms beaufschlagten Stelle eine Vertiefung hat und der Schwenkweg des Federarms wenigstens der Eingrifftiefe seines Vorsprungs in diese Vertiefung oder Ausnehmung entspricht.To achieve this object, it is provided that the male part of the contact spring carries at least one extending on its outside spring arm, which has a free, the male part projecting end a radially inwardly extending, in the insertion of the ground contact projection, the grounding contact in the use position acted upon fixing and that the grounding contact on the acted upon by the projection of the spring arm position has a recess and the pivoting of the spring arm corresponds to at least the depth of engagement of its projection in this recess or recess.
Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Haltefeder mit ihrem Einsteckteil von der Seite her in den Isolierkörper einzusetzen und danach den Erdungskontakt wie die übrigen Kontakte, seien es Stifte oder Buchsen, axial in seine Gebrauchsstellung zu verschieben und zu positionieren. Dabei durchsetzt der Erdungskontakt automatisch den Einsteckteil und tritt mit diesem in Kontakt. Der Einsteckteil und die Haltefeder können also schon an dem Isolierkörper vorgesehen werden, bevor der Erdungskontakt montiert wird. Entsprechend einfach ist anschließend die Montage dieses Erdungskontakts durch ein einfaches Einschieben in seine Lochung oder Bohrung und dabei auch in den Einsteckteil der Haltefeder. Gleichzeitig kann der Federarm mit seinem Vorsprung den Erdungskontakt fixieren, also festlegen, so dass eine einfache, auch schon bisher übliche Einsteckbewegungen für den Erdungskontakt ausreicht, um ihn zu montieren.In this way it is possible to use the retaining spring with its plug-in part from the side in the insulating body and then move the grounding contact as the other contacts, be it pins or sockets, axially in its position of use and position. The earthing contact automatically penetrates the plug-in part and comes into contact with it. The male part and the retaining spring can So be provided on the insulating body before the grounding contact is mounted. Accordingly easy then the assembly of this grounding contact by a simple insertion into its hole or hole, and also in the male part of the retaining spring. At the same time, the spring arm with its projection fix the grounding contact, so set, so that a simple, even previously usual insertion movements for the ground contact sufficient to mount it.
Beim Einschieben des Erdungskontakts in seine Lochung oder Bohrung wird also der Vorsprung des Federarms zunächst durch den eindringenden Erdungskontakt zur Seite gedrückt und dadurch der Federarm ausgelenkt, bis er in die Vertiefung hineinfedern und dadurch den Erdungskontakt fixieren kann. Somit entsteht beim Einschieben des Erdungskontakts automatisch eine Rast- oder Schnappbefestigung durch die elektrisch leitende Haltefeder.When inserting the grounding contact in his hole or hole so the projection of the spring arm is first pressed by the penetrating ground contact to the side and thereby deflected the spring arm until it springs into the recess and thereby fix the grounding contact. Thus, when inserting the grounding contact automatically creates a snap or snap fastening by the electrically conductive retaining spring.
Der Federarm kann bei entspannter Feder mit seinem Vorsprung durch eine seitliche Öffnung des Isolierkörpers in das Innere der Öffnung oder Bohrung ragen und durch den einsteckbaren Erdungskontakt radial verschwenkbar sein. Wie erwähnt, kann also der Erdungskontakt bei seiner axialen Einsteckbewegungen auf diese Weise den zunächst teilweise in seinem Verschiebeweg befindlichen Vorsprung des Federarms seitlich beziehungsweise radial verdrängen und dadurch den Federarm verschwenken, bis die zum Einrasten des Vorsprungs des Federarms dienende Vertiefung im Bereich dieses Vorsprungs angekommen ist. Dabei kann die seitliche Öffnung für den Vorsprung des Federarms in axialer Richtung benachbart zu der seitlichen Öffnung für das Einführung des Einsteckteils in den Isolierkörper angeordnet sein. Somit wird der Isolierkörper nur so wenig wie notwendig mit seitlichen Öffnungen versehen beziehungsweise diese haben eine möglichst kleine Abmessung, die einerseits ausreicht, um den Einsteckteil durchzulassen, und wobei andererseits eine benachbarte Öffnung mit entsprechend geringer Abmessung den Durchtritt des Vorsprungs des Federarms in radialer Richtung von außen nach innen in den Weg des Erdungskontakts ermöglicht. Außerdem stützt der zwischen den seitlichen Öffnungen befindliche Teil des Isolierkörpers den Federarm von innen ab, so dass er fest an der Innenseite der Hülse anliegen und erden kann.The spring arm can protrude with a relaxed spring with its projection through a lateral opening of the insulating body in the interior of the opening or bore and be radially pivotable through the pluggable grounding contact. As mentioned, therefore, the grounding contact in its axial insertion movements in this way, the first partially in its displacement projection of the spring arm displace laterally or radially, thereby pivoting the spring arm until the serving to engage the projection of the spring arm recess has arrived in the region of this projection , In this case, the lateral opening for the projection of the spring arm can be arranged in the axial direction adjacent to the lateral opening for the insertion of the male part in the insulating body. Thus, the insulator is provided as little as necessary with lateral openings or they have the smallest possible size, on the one hand sufficient to pass the male part, and on the other hand, an adjacent opening with a correspondingly smaller dimension, the passage of the projection of the spring arm in the radial direction of outside in the path of the ground contact allows. In addition, the part of the insulating located between the side openings supports the spring arm from the inside, so that it can rest firmly against the inside of the sleeve and ground.
Besonders günstig ist es, wenn die Vertiefung an dem Erdüngskontakt für den Eingriff des Vorsprungs des Federarms ringförmig umläuft und/oder in Einsteckrichtung durch einen umlaufenden Ring oder Bund begrenzt ist, der auf seiner der Vertiefung abgewandten Seite insbesondere sich verjüngend, konisch oder kegelstumpfförmig ausgebildet ist.It is particularly favorable if the depression on the earth contact for the engagement of the projection of the spring arm rotates annularly and / or is delimited in the plug-in direction by a peripheral ring or collar, which on its side remote from the recess is in particular tapered, conical or frustoconical ,
Die Ringform der Vertiefung ermöglicht es, den Erdungskontakt, der in aller Regel einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt hat, in beliebiger Drehorientierung in seine Lochung oder Bohrung einzuführen und dennoch die Rast- oder Schnappverbindung mit dem zungenartigen Vorsprung des Federarms zu erlauben. Die sich verjüngende Form der Begrenzung der Vertiefung in Einsteckrichtung vor dieser Vertiefung erleichtert das seitliche Verdrängen des Federarms mit seinem Vorsprung.The ring shape of the recess makes it possible to introduce the grounding contact, which usually has a circular cross-section, in any rotational orientation in its hole or bore and still allow the snap or snap connection with the tongue-like projection of the spring arm. The tapered shape of the boundary of the recess in the insertion direction before this depression facilitates the lateral displacement of the spring arm with its projection.
Für eine möglichst präzise Positionierung des Erdungskontakts kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn der Vorsprung des Federarmes an seinem freien Ende eine insbesondere in axialer Richtung orientierte Haltezunge oder Verbreiterung aufweist, womit die Vertiefung ausgefüllt oder ein Anschlag zu einer der Begrenzungen der Vertiefung hergestellt werden kann, wenn der Erdungskontakt seine genaue axiale Lage erreicht hät.For a precise positioning of the grounding contact, it may be advantageous if the projection of the spring arm on its free end has a particular oriented in the axial direction retaining tongue or broadening, whereby the depression filled or a stop can be made to one of the boundaries of the recess, if the ground contact would have reached its exact axial position.
Besonders günstig ist es, wenn der Einsteckteil der Haltefeder eine größere seitliche Abmessung als die seitliche Öffnung des Isolierkörpers hat und etwa der seitlichen Abmessung oder dem Durchmesser der Lochung oder Bohrung für den Erdungskontakt entspricht, und wenn der Einsteckteil quer zu seiner Innenlängshöhlung beziehungsweise in radialer Richtung gegen seine Elastizität soweit zusammendrückbar ist, dass er durch die seitliche Öffnung einführbar ist, die außerdem etwas konisch sein kann. Der Einsteckteil kann also durch eine seitliche Öffnung des Isolierkörpers in seine Gebrauchslage gebracht werden und dann aufgrund seiner Eigenelastizität die Ränder der seitlichen Öffnung hintergreifen, so dass er unverlierbar und weitgehend formschlüssig gehalten wird. In vorteilhafter Weise kann somit die Haltefeder vormontiert sein, so dass anschließend nur noch der Erdungskontakt eingeschoben und verrastet werden muss, um die Montage zu beenden.It is particularly favorable if the insertion part of the retaining spring has a larger lateral dimension than the lateral opening of the insulating body and corresponds approximately to the lateral dimension or the diameter of the hole or hole for the ground contact, and if the insertion part transversely to its inner longitudinal cavity or in the radial direction against its elasticity is compressible so far that it can be inserted through the side opening, which may also be slightly conical. The plug can therefore be brought by a lateral opening of the insulating in its position of use and then engage behind the edges of the lateral opening due to its inherent elasticity, so that it is held captive and largely positive fit. Advantageously, thus, the retaining spring can be pre-assembled, so that subsequently only the grounding contact has to be inserted and locked in order to finish the assembly.
Dabei ist es günstig, dass der Einsteckteil in Gebrauchsstellung durch den ihn insbesondere formschlüssig durchsetzenden. Erdungskontakt gegen eine radiale Zusammendrückung gesichert oder gesperrt ist. Befindet. sich der Erdungskontakt in Gebrauchsstellung kann also die Haltefeder nicht mehr aus der seitlichen Öffnung des Isolierkörpers herausgezogen werden. Gleichzeitig verläuft aber der Federarm an diese Außenseite außerhalb der seitlichen Öffnung und kann in Kontakt mit der den Isolierkörper aufnehmenden Hülse treten, um die gewünschte Erdung herbeizuführen.It is favorable that the insertion in the position of use by him in particular by a form-fitting interspersed. Grounding contact is secured or locked against radial compression. Located. the grounding contact in the use position so the retaining spring can not be pulled out of the lateral opening of the insulator. At the same time, however, the spring arm extends to this outer side outside the lateral opening and can come into contact with the insulating body receiving sleeve to bring about the desired grounding.
Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn der Einsteckteil der Haltefeder als Hülse ausgebildet ist, die den Erdungskontakt in Gebrauchsstellung außenseitig zumindest bereichsweise flächig berührt. Eine entsprechend große Kontaktfläche zwischen Haltefeder und Erdungskontakt steht auf diese Weise zur Verfügung. Dabei kann die elektrisch leitende Haltefeder aus wenigstens bereichsweise elektrischen Strom leitendem Werkstoff, insbesondere aus Metall bestehen.It is expedient if the insertion part of the retaining spring is designed as a sleeve, which touches the grounding contact in the position of use on the outside at least partially flat. A correspondingly large contact surface between the retaining spring and grounding contact is available in this way. In this case, the electrically conductive retaining spring of at least partially electrical current conductive material, in particular made of metal.
Ferner ist es günstig, wenn der hülsenförmige Einsteckteil wenigstens einen etwa in axialer Richtung verlaufenden, insbesondere durchgehenden Schlitz oder dergleichen Unterbrechung hat und in entspanntem Zustand einen geringeren Querschnitt als der Erdungskontakt hat. Dieser weitet dann bei seinem Einführen in seine Gebrauchslage den Einsteckteil auf, so dass dieser durch die dabei auftretenden Rückstellkräfte gut an dem Erdungskontakt angedrückt wird und zu einem entsprechend sicheren elektrischen Kontakt führt.Further, it is advantageous if the sleeve-shaped insertion part has at least one extending approximately in the axial direction, in particular continuous slot or the like interruption and in the relaxed state has a smaller cross-section than the ground contact. This expands when inserted into its position of use the male part, so that it is pressed well by the restoring forces occurring at the ground contact and leads to a correspondingly secure electrical contact.
Der Federarm kann an dem in Einsteckrichtung vorderen Ende der Haltefeder und ihres Einsteckteils insbesondere einstückig angebracht und sich in Einsteckrichtung erstreckend angeordnet sein. Dadurch verläuft dieser Federarm über eine größtmögliche Länge der Haltefeder und kann einen guten Kontakt zu der Hülse des Steckers herstellen. Darüber hinaus tritt bei dem axialen Einführen des Erdungskontakts und dessen Beaufschlagung des Vorsprungs des Federarms neben der radialen Verschwenkung auch eine gewisse axiale Belastung auf, die bei der erwähnten Anordnung als Zugkraft auf den Federarm wirkt und deshalb nicht zu dessen Stauchung führen kann.The spring arm may in particular be integrally attached to the front end in the insertion direction of the retaining spring and its plug-in part and extending in the insertion direction. As a result, this spring arm extends over a maximum length of the retaining spring and can make good contact with the sleeve of the plug. In addition occurs in the axial insertion of the ground contact and its application to the projection of the spring arm in addition to the radial pivoting on a certain axial load, which acts in the above arrangement as a tensile force on the spring arm and therefore can not lead to its compression.
Besonders preiswert ist die Haltefeder, wenn sie mit ihrem Einsteckteil und mit ihrem Federarm insbesondere einstückig aus einem Teil oder Stanzteil gebogen ist. Ein etwas breiterer Teil eines solchen Stanzteils kann zu einer Hülse gerollt werden, während ein von diesem breiteren Teil abgehender schmaler Teil den Federarm bilden kann, an dessen freies Ende der erwähnte Vorsprung gegebenenfalls mit zusätzlicher Haltezunge oder dergleichen Verbreiterung angeformt werden kann.Particularly inexpensive is the retaining spring when with her Insertion and in particular with its spring arm is integrally bent from a part or stamped part. A slightly wider part of such a stamped part can be rolled into a sleeve, while a narrow part extending from this wider part can form the spring arm, at the free end of which the aforementioned projection can optionally be formed with additional retaining tongue or the like widening.
Es sei noch erwähnt, dass der Federarm der Haltefeder eine in Querrichtung seiner Erstreckung verlaufende Verbreiterung aufweisen kann, um die Kontaktfläche zu der Innenseite der Strom leitenden Hülse des Steckers zu vergrößern.It should be noted that the spring arm of the retaining spring may have a widening extending in the transverse direction of its extension broadening to increase the contact area to the inside of the current-conducting sleeve of the plug.
Vor allem bei Kombination einzelner oder mehrerer der vorbeschriebenen Merkmale und Maßnahmen ergibt sich ein Stecker mit Isolierkörper, Erdungskontakt und diesen Erdungskontakt erfassender und festlegender Haltefeder, der durch einfache Steckbewegungen montiert werden kann, wobei dennoch der Erdungskontakt gut fixiert, kontaktiert und positioniert werden kann, weil die Haltefeder nicht nur den elektrischen Kontakt herstellt, sondern mit Hilfe eines Federarms auch die Fixierung und Befestigung des Erdungskontakts bewirkt, wobei dieser Federarm eine Doppelfunktion hat, weil er neben dieser Fixierung des Erdungskontakts auch den Kontakt zu der Hülse des Steckers herstellt. Dieser Federarm ist also gleichzeitig eine Erdungsfeder.Especially when combining one or more of the features and measures described above results in a plug with insulating body, grounding contact and this grounding contact detecting and festlegender retaining spring which can be mounted by simple plug-in movements, yet the grounding contact can be well fixed, contacted and positioned, because the retaining spring not only produces the electrical contact, but also causes the fixing and attachment of the grounding contact with the aid of a spring arm, this spring arm has a dual function, because he also makes contact with the sleeve of the plug in addition to this fixation of the grounding contact. This spring arm is thus at the same time a grounding spring.
Eine relativ einfache Herstellung der Teile einerseits und eine effektive Kontaktierung andererseits ergibt sich, wenn der als Erdungsfeder dienende Federarm einen flachen ebenen, also geradlinig begrenzten Querschnitt hat und in Gebrauchsstellung in der im Querschnitt kreisbogenförmigen Fuge zwischen der im Querschnitt kreisförmigen Innenseite der Hülse und der Außenseite des Isolierkörpers eingeklemmt ist. Da der Querschnitt des Federarms nicht genau zu dem der Fuge passt, wird er an den jeweiligen Berührstellen entsprechend stark angedrückt und möglicherweise auch noch etwas verformt, was zu entsprechend guten elektrischen Kontakten führt.A relatively simple manufacture of the parts on the one hand and an effective contact on the other hand results when the spring arm serving as a grounding arm has a flat, so rectilinear limited cross-section and in the use position in the cross-sectional arcuate joint between the circular in cross-section inside the sleeve and the Outside of the insulating body is clamped. Since the cross section of the spring arm does not exactly match that of the joint, it is correspondingly strongly pressed at the respective contact points and possibly also somewhat deformed, which leads to correspondingly good electrical contacts.
