- an elastic wall 21 in the adapter part 1a, of course, the same effect is achieved.
- the connection between the two adapter parts 1a and 1b is effected only by the magnetic forces of the magnetic elements 11 and 15.
- the desired exact positioning and alignment and thus avoiding false contact connections is achieved in that the magnetic elements 11 and 15 as permanent magnets in a certain polarity are arranged to each other.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung einer Verbindung zwischen einem elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerät und einem mit dem Gerät verbindbaren Kabel oder einem weiteren elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerät.The invention relates to a device for establishing a connection between an electrical or electronic device and a cable connectable to the device or another electrical or electronic device.

Mit dieser Verbindungsvorrichtung soll eine Montageerleichterung bei der Herstellung von einwandfreien Verbindungen erreicht werden und zwar insbesondere bei schwer zugänglichen oder geringen Einbauräumen. Mit der vorbekannten Erfindung wird sichergestellt, dass eine sichere und dauerhafte Verbindung durch eine magnetische Positionierung und Zentrierung zwischen zwei miteinander zu verbindenden Teilen hergestellt wird.With this connection device, a simplification of assembly in the production of perfect connections should be achieved and in particular in hard to reach or small installation spaces. With the previously known invention it is ensured that a secure and permanent connection is made by a magnetic positioning and centering between two parts to be joined together.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art derart zu verbessern, dass durch Magnetelemente nicht nur eine Haltekraft erzeugt wird, sondern dass gleichzeitig auch eine Ausrichtung mit einer mechanischen Grobführung und einer anschließenden exakten Zentrierung und Positionierung durch eine Feinführung über die Magnetelemente erreicht wird, und zwar ohne dass der Benutzer darauf achten muss, dass die miteinander zu verbindenden Teile von ihm exakt zueinander ausgerichtet werden müssen, damit evtl. Kurzschlüsse durch eine falsche Kontaktierung sicher vermieden werden. Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einer Vorrichtung zum Herstellen einer Verbindung zwischen einem elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerät und einem mit dem Gerät verbindbaren Kabel oder einem weiteren elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerät mit einem mit Magnetelementen versehenen Adapter durch die in Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst.
Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Adapter wird eine Verbindung des elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerätes mit einem weiteren elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerät oder einem Kabel, z. B. einem Ladegerät, einem Kopfhörer, einem Mikrofon, einem Headset oder einem USB-Verbindungskabel geschaffen, wobei die Verbindung auf einfache Weise in einem ersten Schritt durch eine Grobführung über den wenigstens einen Vorsprung und_den ringförmigen Rücksprung oder die Ringnut erfolgt, wozu ein entsprechend großes Spiel vorgesehen ist, das im Allgemeinen deutlich größer sein wird, als es für eine herkömmliche Verbindung normalerweise vorgesehen ist. Nach der Grobführung erfolgt im zweiten Schritt aufgrund der vorangegangenen "groben" Annäherung anschließend über die Magnetkräfte der Magnetelemente eine exakte Positionierung und Zentrierung der beiden Adapterteile zueinander.The present invention has for its object to improve a device of the type mentioned in such a way that not only a holding force is generated by magnetic elements, but that at the same time an alignment with a mechanical coarse guide and a subsequent exact centering and positioning by a fine guide on the magnetic elements is achieved, and without the user must pay attention that the parts to be joined together must be aligned by him exactly to each other, so that any short circuits can be safely avoided by a wrong contact. According to the invention, this object is achieved in a device for establishing a connection between an electrical or electronic device and a connectable to the device cable or another electrical or electronic device with an adapter provided with magnetic elements by the features mentioned in claim 1.
By the adapter according to the invention is a connection of the electrical or electronic device with another electrical or electronic device or a cable, for. B. a charger, a headphone, a microphone, a headset or a USB connection cable created, the connection is carried out in a simple manner in a first step by a rough guide on the at least one projection and the annular recess or the annular groove, including a correspondingly large Game is provided, which will generally be significantly larger than is normally provided for a conventional connection. After the rough guidance, the second step is followed by the previous "rough" approach via the magnetic forces of the magnetic elements exact positioning and centering of the two adapter parts to each other.
Ein wesentlicher Vorteil dabei ist, dass der Benutzer die beiden Teile nur "grob" einander annähern muss, und dass er nicht auf irgendeine korrekte Kontaktierung und Zuordnung von Kontakten achten muss, sondern dass die Verbindung drehrichtungsunabhängig ist. Damit können Verbindungen auch problemlos an schwer zugänglichen Stellen und/oder bei einer ungenügenden Beleuchtung vorgenommen werden. Gleichzeitig ist dabei_sichergestellt, dass im Falle einer zu hohen Belastung der Verbindung, durch die es z.B. zu Beschädigungen von Teilen kommen könnte, zu einer Lösung der Verbindung kommt, sobald die magnetischen Haltekräfte durch eine höhere Kraft von außen überwunden werden.A significant advantage of this is that the user must approximate the two parts only "roughly", and that he does not have to pay attention to any correct contact and assignment of contacts, but that the connection is independent of the direction of rotation. This allows connections to be made easily in hard to reach places and / or in case of insufficient lighting. At the same time, it is ensured that in the case of too high a load of the compound by which e.g. If the magnetic holding forces are overcome by a higher force from the outside to a solution of the connection could come to a solution of the connection.
Einer der Hauptvorteile der Erfindung besteht somit darin, dass ein Benutzer sich nicht mehr darum kümmern muss, ob die miteinander zu verbindenden Teile strom- und/oder datenmäßig richtig zueinander positioniert werden. Kurzschlüsse und/oder Beschädigungen der miteinander zu verbindenden Geräte werden auf diese Weise ohne zusätzliche mechanische Maßnahmen oder Führungen auf einfache Weise vermieden. Die Verbindung kann vom Benutzer praktisch "blind" hergestellt werden.One of the main advantages of the invention is thus that a user no longer has to worry about whether the parts to be connected together are correctly positioned relative to one another in terms of current and / or data. Short circuits and / or damage to the devices to be joined together are avoided in this way without additional mechanical measures or guides in a simple manner. The connection can be made practically "blind" by the user.
Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass aufgrund Fehlens einer mechanischen Verbindung keine Beschädigungen von Steckkontakten oder Steckstiften auftreten können. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn erfindungsgemäß die Kontakte als Stirn- oder Flachkontakte ausgebildet sind.Another significant advantage of the invention is that due to the lack of a mechanical connection no damage to plug contacts or pins can occur. This is the case in particular if, according to the invention, the contacts are designed as front or flat contacts.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist insbesondere für eine Verbindung eines elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerätes mit einem Kopfhörer oder einem Headset geeignet. Selbstverständlich ist jedoch auch ein Einsatz für Laptops, Computer und andere elektrische oder elektronische Geräte möglich, bei denen herkömmliche bzw. bekannte Steckverbindungen, wie z. B. für USB-Stecker und Ladegeräte, vorgesehen sind.The device according to the invention is particularly suitable for connecting an electrical or electronic device with a headset or a headset. Of course it is However, a use for laptops, computers and other electrical or electronic devices possible in which conventional or known connectors, such. B. for USB plug and chargers are provided.
Als weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil wird z. B. ein Herunterreißen eines Gerätes, z. B. eines Laptops oder Computers, von einem Tisch, einem Podest oder ähnlichem vermieden, denn nach Überschreitung der magnetischen Haltekräfte wird - wie bereits erwähnt - die Verbindung zwischen dem ersten Adapterteil und dem zweiten Adapterteil gelöst. Während das erste Adapterteil mit seinen Eingangskontakten weiterhin in Verbindung mit den Kontaktelementen in dem Gerät verbleibt, verbleibt das zweite Adapterteil an dem Kabel, z. B. Kopfhörer, Headset oder Ladekabel, wobei es jedoch anschließend wieder problemlos mit dem ersten Adapterteil verbunden werden kann. Neben Beschädigungen oder einem Herunterreißen des Gerätes werden auf diese Weise auch Beschädigungen am Kopfhörer, Headset oder an einer Steckdose im Falle einer Kabelverbindung zu einem Ladevorgang vermieden.As a further significant advantage z. B. tearing down a device, for. As a laptop or computer, avoided by a table, a pedestal or the like, because after exceeding the magnetic holding forces - as already mentioned - the connection between the first adapter part and the second adapter part solved. While the first adapter part with its input contacts remains in connection with the contact elements in the device, the second adapter part remains on the cable, for. As headphones, headset or charging cable, but it can then be easily connected to the first adapter part again. In addition to damage or tearing of the device damage to the headset, headset or to a power outlet in the event of a cable connection to a charging process are avoided in this way.
Gleiches gilt selbstverständlich auch, wenn zwei elektrische oder elektronische Geräte für einen Datenaustausch miteinander verbunden werden. In jedem Falle erhält man durch den Adapter mit den beiden Adapterteilen eine exakte Sollbruch- bzw. Lösestelle.Of course, the same applies if two electrical or electronic devices are connected to each other for data exchange. In any case, you get through the adapter with the two adapter parts an exact breaking point or release point.
Der erfindungsgemäße Adapter lässt sich auf verschiedene Weise in der Praxis einsetzen.The adapter according to the invention can be used in various ways in practice.
Liegen Geräte und Kabel mit herkömmlichen Verbindungssteckern und Buchsen, wie z. B. USB-Steckern und Kontaktanschlüssen vor, so wird der Adapter mit den beiden Adapterteilen zwischen die herkömmlichen Kontaktglieder eingesetzt. Das erste Adapterteil wird dabei mit einem ersten elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerät mit seinen Eingangskontakten verbunden, während das zweite Adapterteil mit seinen Ausgangskontakten mit dem herkömmlichen Verbindungsglied eines Kabels oder eines weiteren Gerätes verbunden wird. Auf den einander zugekehrten Stirnseiten der beiden Adapterteile, auf denen jeweils die Magnetelemente angeordnet sind, erfolgt eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen den beiden Adapterteilen durch die Weiterführungskontakte des ersten Adapterteiles mit den Anschlusskontakten des zweiten Adapterteiles. Zwischen den Weiterführungskontakten und den Anschlusskontakten, die nach vorangegangener Grobführung über den wenigstens einen Vorsprung und den damit zusammenwirkenden ringförmigen Rücksprung oder die Ringnut nur über die Magnetkräfte der Magnetelemente miteinander verbunden sind, erfolgt durch die Ausbildung als Permanentmagnete und die erfindungsgemäße Zuordnung der Magnetpole zueinander für eine Verbindung eine exakte Zentrierung und Positionierung der vorher mit den jeweiligen Geräten verbundenen Adapterteilen und gleichzeitig auch die gewünschte Solllösestelle.Are devices and cables with conventional connectors and sockets, such. As USB connectors and contact terminals, the adapter is used with the two adapter parts between the conventional contact members. The first adapter part is thereby connected to a first electrical or electronic device with its input contacts, while the second adapter part is connected with its output contacts to the conventional connecting member of a cable or another device. On the mutually facing end faces of the two adapter parts, on each of which the magnetic elements are arranged, there is an electrical connection between the two adapter parts by the continuation of the first adapter contacts with the terminal contacts of the second adapter part. Between the continuation of contact and the terminal contacts, which are connected to each other after the previous coarse guide on the at least one projection and the cooperating annular recess or the annular groove only via the magnetic forces of the magnetic elements, takes place by training as permanent magnets and the inventive assignment of the magnetic poles to each other for a Connection an exact centering and positioning of previously connected to the respective devices adapter parts and at the same time the desired Solllösestelle.
Eine zweite Möglichkeit für einen Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Adapters kann darin bestehen, dass das zweite Adapterteil direkt das herkömmliche mit Verbindungsstiften oder Buchsen versehene Kontaktanschlussglied eines Kabels ersetzt. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung eignet sich insbesondere für eine Verbindung eines Kopfhörers oder Headsets mit einem elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerät, wobei das erfindungsgemäße zweite Adapterteil direkt mit einem zu dem Kopfhörer oder Headset führenden Verbindungskabel verbunden oder in dieses Kabel integriert ist.A second possibility for using the adapter according to the invention may consist in that the second adapter part directly replaces the conventional contact connection element of a cable provided with connecting pins or sockets. Such a configuration is particularly suitable for a connection of a headphone or headset with an electrical or electronic device, wherein the second adapter part according to the invention is connected directly to a leading to the headset or headset connection cable or integrated in this cable.
Eine dritte Möglichkeit für einen Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Adapters kann darin bestehen, dass das erste Adapterteil direkt in das Gerät integriert oder in diesem angeordnet ist. Die Weiterführungskontakte sind in diesem Falle direkt mit Zuleitungen in dem Gerät verbunden und die Eingangskontakte des Adapterteiles können auf diese Weise entfallen. Die Weiterführungskontakte werden dann mit den Anschlusskontakten des zweiten Adapterteiles durch die Magnetkräfte der Magnete in den beiden Adapterteilen ausgerichtet und verbunden. Auch hier kann gegebenenfalls das zweite Adapterteil die herkömmlichen Verbindungsstifte oder Buchsen eines Kontaktanschlussgliedes in einem Kabel ersetzen und direkt mit den Leitungen des Kabels oder des zweiten elektronischen Gerätes verbunden sein.A third possibility for use of the adapter according to the invention may consist in that the first adapter part is integrated directly into the device or arranged in this device. The Continuing contacts are in this case connected directly to leads in the device and the input contacts of the adapter part can be omitted in this way. The continuation contacts are then aligned with the terminal contacts of the second adapter part by the magnetic forces of the magnets in the two adapter parts and connected. Again, optionally, the second adapter part replace the conventional connecting pins or sockets of a contact terminal in a cable and be connected directly to the lines of the cable or the second electronic device.
Wenn bei mit dem elektrischen Gerät zu verbindenden Teilen, wie z. B. Kopfhörer, Mikrofon, Headset, Lautsprecher oder Ladegeräte, nur wenige Kontaktelemente, z. B. nur zwei oder drei Kontaktelemente erforderlich sind, lassen sich diese z. B. in einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung koaxial oder konzentrisch anordnen oder in Form von konzentrischen Ringen anordnen.When connected to the electrical device parts, such. As headphones, microphone, headset, speakers or chargers, only a few contact elements, such. B. only two or three contact elements are required, these z. B. coaxially or concentrically arrange in a further development of the invention or arrange in the form of concentric rings.
Bei dieser Ausgestaltung lässt sich dabei eine weitere Vereinfachung dergestalt erreichen, dass auf einem der beiden Adapterteile die Kontaktelemente, z. B. die Anschlusskontakte des zweiten Adapterteiles, als punktförmige Kontakte ausgebildet sind, die entweder zentrisch oder außermittig so angeordnet sind, dass sie mit den Kontaktelementen des anderen Adapterteiles, z. B. den Weiterführungskontakten des ersten Adapterteiles, die zentrisch oder in Ringform ausgebildet sind, zusammenwirken.In this embodiment, a further simplification can be achieved such that on one of the two adapter parts, the contact elements, for. B. the terminal contacts of the second adapter part, are formed as punctiform contacts, which are arranged either centrally or eccentrically so that they are connected to the contact elements of the other adapter part, z. B. the continuation contacts of the first adapter part, which are formed centrally or in a ring shape, cooperate.
In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Weiterführungskontakte oder die Anschlusskontakte in Gehäusevertiefungen oder vertieft in einer Gehäusewand der Adapterteile angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise wird eine Kurzschlussgefahr durch ein Kurzschließen von Kontakten weiter verringert.In one embodiment of the invention it can be provided that the continuation contacts or the connection contacts are arranged in housing recesses or recessed in a housing wall of the adapter parts. In this way, a short circuit risk is further reduced by shorting contacts.
Durch diese Ausgestaltung kann z. B. vermieden werden, dass ein Kurzschluss auftritt, wenn aufgrund der Magnetkräfte z. B. eine Büroklammer an den Magneten und damit an den Kontakten anhaftet. Um diese Gefahr zu vermeiden werden im Allgemeinen Vertiefungen zwischen 1/10 und 5/10 mm ausreichend sein. Für eine einwandfreie Kontaktverbindung ist es in einem derartigen Falle lediglich erforderlich, dass die jeweiligen Gegenkontakte um ein entsprechendes Maß aus ihrer Gehäusewand hervorragen.By this configuration, z. B. be avoided that a short circuit occurs when due to the magnetic forces z. B. a paper clip to the magnet and thus adhering to the contacts. In order to avoid this danger, depressions between 1/10 and 5/10 mm will generally suffice. For a perfect contact connection, it is only necessary in such a case that the respective mating contacts protrude by a corresponding amount from its housing wall.
Für eine einwandfreie Kontaktierung kann in einer erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung vorgesehen sein, dass die Weiterführungskontakte und/oder die Anschlusskontakt federgelagert sind. Auf diese Weise wird eine Anpresskraft für eine sichere Kontaktierung zwischen den beidseitigen Kontakten erreicht.For a perfect contact can be provided in an embodiment of the invention that the continuation of contacts and / or the terminal contact are spring-loaded. In this way, a contact pressure for a secure contact between the two-sided contacts is achieved.
Alternativ hierzu ist auch möglich, dass die Weiterführungskontakte und/oder die Anschlusskontakte in einer wenigstens teilweise elastischen Wand angeordnet sind. Die Elastizität kann sich entweder über die gesamte Wand erstrecken, in der die Kontakte angeordnet sind, oder nur abschnittsweise in den Bereichen, in denen sich die Kontakte befinden.Alternatively, it is also possible that the continuation contacts and / or the connection contacts are arranged in an at least partially elastic wall. The elasticity can extend either over the entire wall in which the contacts are arranged, or only in sections in the areas in which the contacts are located.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit für eine sichere Kontaktierung und eine gute Anpresskraft kann darin bestehen, dass die Weiterführungskontakte und/oder die Anschlusskontakte auf ihrer von der Kontaktseite angewandten Seite an einer wenigstens teilweise elastischen Wand anliegen.Another possibility for a secure contacting and a good contact pressure may be that the continuation of contacts and / or the terminal contacts abut on its side applied by the contact side of an at least partially elastic wall.
Durch diese Maßnahme werden die Kontakte jeweils von der Rückseite aus in Richtung auf die Kontakte des anderen Adapterteiles angedrückt.By this measure, the contacts are each pressed from the back in the direction of the contacts of the other adapter part.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich auch aus den nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen.Advantageous developments will become apparent from the embodiments described below with reference to the drawings.

Ein Adapter weist ein erstes Adapterteil 1a und ein zweites Adapterteil 1b auf. Das Adapterteil 1a ist zur Verbindung mit Kontaktstiften (nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen, die sich in einer Buchse 2 eines elektrischen oder elektronischen Gerätes 3 befinden. Hierzu ist das erste Adapterteil 1a mit Kontaktgliedern 4 und 5 versehen (s.
Die
Die
Auf der von dem Gerät 3 abgewandten Seite des Adapterteiles 1a befindet sich zentral in dessen Mitte ein Weiterführungskontakt 7, z. B. als Minuspol, und auf Abstand dazu angeordnet und durch ein Isolierungselement, z. B. einem Kunststoffring 8, getrennt ein zweiter Weiterführungskontakt 9 in Form eines Ringkontaktes konzentrisch zur Längsachse 10 des Adapters. An den Weiterführungskontakt 9 schließt sich ein weiterer Ring an, der als Magnetelement 11 ausgebildet ist und z. B. einen Südpol auf der nach außen gerichteten Seite aufweist. Das Adapterteil 1a ist außen durch ein Gehäuse in einer Kunststoffummantelung 20 abgeschlossen, die auf der zu dem Adapterteil 1b gerichteten Stirnseite mit einem ringartigen Rücksprung 20a versehen ist, über den das Magnetelement 11 vorsteht (siehe
Wenn der zentrale Weiterführungskontakt 7 als Pluspol ausgebildet ist, stellt der Weiterführungskontakt 9 hierzu den Minuspol dar.If the
Sollte ein dritter Kontakt erforderlich sein, ist zusätzlich auf der nach außen gerichteten Seite des Adapterteiles 1a noch ein weiterer Weiterführungskontakt 12 in Ringform vorgesehen (siehe gestrichelte Darstellung in der
Das zweite Adapterteil 1b ist nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Ein Anschlusskontakt 16 befindet sich in gleicher Weise wie der Weiterführungskontakt 7 des ersten Adapterteiles 1a zentrisch und damit im Mittelpunkt.A
Der zweite Anschlusskontakt 17 befindet sich als im Wesentlichen punktförmiges Kontaktelement mit flacher, leicht konvexer oder gewölbter Oberfläche in einem Abstand vom Zentrum des zweiten Adapterteiles 1b. Der Abstand bzw. die Außermittigkeit ist jedoch so gewählt, dass bei einer Verbindung des zweiten Adapterteiles 1b mit dem ersten Adapterteil 1a eine Kontaktierung mit dem Weiterführungskontakt 9 in Ringform stattfindet. Dies bedeutet, der Abstand des Anschlusskontaktes 17 vom Mittelpunkt entspricht dem Radius für den Ring des Weiterführungskontaktes 9.The second
Das Adapterteil 1b ist ebenfalls mit einem Gehäuse in Kunststoffummantelung 22 versehen, die auf der zu dem Adapterteil 1a gerichteten Stirnseite einen ringförmigen Vorsprung 22a gegenüber der Stirnseite aufweist (siehe
Bei einer Verbindung der beiden Adapterteile 1a und 1b miteinander erfolgt nach der Grobführung aufgrund der beiden Magnetelemente 11 und 15 durch deren unterschiedliche Polarität eine magnetische Ausrichtung und Anziehung und damit exakte Positionierung und Zentrierung der beiden Adapterteile zueinander.With a connection of the two
Für die mechanische Grobführung ist es nicht unbedingt erforderlich, dass der Vorsprung 22a ringartig ausgebildet ist. Im Bedarfsfalle genügen auch einzelne über den Umfang verteilt angeordnete, z. B. zapfenartige Vorsprünge, die in den ringförmigen Rücksprung 20a oder eine in die Stirnseite des Adapterteiles 1a eingebrachte Ringnut mit entsprechend großem Spiel eingeführt werden.For the mechanical rough guide, it is not absolutely necessary that the
Aufgrund der Ausgestaltung der Magnetelemente 11 und 15 in Ringform, der zentrischen Anordnung eines Weiterführungskontaktes 7 und des Anschlusskontaktes 16 und der Ringform des Weiterführungskontaktes 9 und des Anschlusskontaktes 17 kann die Verbindung der beiden Adapterteile drehrichtungsunabhängig voneinander erfolgen, denn der außermittige Anschlusskontakt 17 liegt auf jeden Fall "irgendwo" auf dem Ring des Weiterführungskontaktes 9.Due to the configuration of the
Sofern ein dritter Weiterführungskontakt 12 erforderlich ist, wie in der
Anstelle eines dritten Weiterführungskontaktes 12 in Ringform kann selbstverständlich auch vorgesehen sein, dass der dritte Kontakt direkt über die Magnetelemente 11 und 15 erfolgt. Alternativ dazu ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, die jeweiligen Gehäuse 20 bzw. 22 der Adapterteile 1a und 1b für einen dritten Kontakt zu verwenden, die hierzu dann elektrisch leitend auszubilden sind. Selbstverständlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, sowohl über die beiden Magnetelemente als auch über die Gehäuseteile jeweils einen zusätzlichen Kontakt zu schaffen, womit sogar die Übertragung von vier Kontakten oder ein entsprechender Datentransfer möglich wird.Instead of a
Für eine einwandfreie Kontaktierung ist es von Vorteil, wenn die beiden punktförmigen Anschlusskontakte 16 und 17 in dem zweiten Adapterteil 1b federgelagert sind. Dies kann z. B. jeweils durch eine Feder 18 (siehe
Anstelle von punktförmigen Anschlusskontakten 16 und 17 können diese selbstverständlich auch als Anschlusskontakte in Ringform vorgesehen sein. Dies kann z. B. in Umkehrung zu dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sein, was bedeutet, dass in diesem Falle der Weiterführungskontakt 9 statt in Ringform nur als punktförmiges Kontaktelement vorgesehen ist.Instead of point-shaped
Ebenso ist es nicht unbedingt erforderlich, dass beide Magnetelemente 11 und 15 jeweils in Ringform ausgebildet sind. Auch hier ist es möglich, dass eines der beiden Magnetelemente sich nur teilweise über den Umfang erstreckt.Likewise, it is not absolutely necessary that both
Eine weitere Lösungsmöglichkeit, die auf dem gleichen Prinzip, nämlich einer drehrichtungsunabhängigen Verbindung, basiert, kann darin bestehen, dass beide Magnetelemente 11 und 15 zentrisch angeordnet sind und jeweils entsprechend die Weiterführungskontakte 7 und 9 und auch die Anschlusskontakte 16 und 17 in Ringform ausgebildet sind, wobei es auch hier wieder ausreichend ist, wenn in einem der beiden Adapterteile die Kontaktelemente nur als außermittige einzelne Kontaktpunkte ausgebildet sind, deren Abstand den Radien der Kontaktelemente des jeweils anderen Adapterteiles vom Mittelpunkt entspricht.Another solution, which is based on the same principle, namely a direction of rotation independent connection, may consist in that both
In gleicher Weise wie vorstehend anhand der
Wie gestrichelt durch die Linie 19 in der
Für einen einwandfreien Kontakt kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass wenigstens eine der beiden Außenwände der beiden Adapterteile 1a und 1b wenigstens teilweise bzw. abschnittsweise elastisch ist. Aufgrund dieser elastischen Lagerung lassen sich dann Toleranzen ausgleichen und eine sichere Verbindung zwischen den Weiterführungskontakten 7, 9 und den Anschlusskontakten 16, 17 erreichen.For a perfect contact can also be provided that at least one of the two outer walls of the two
Anstelle einer Federlagerung der Weiterführungskontakte 7 und 9 oder der Anschlusskontakte 16 und 17 kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass auf der von der Kontaktfläche bzw. Kontaktseite abgewandten Seite die Weiterführungskontakte 7 und 9 oder die Anschlusskontakte 16 und 17 an einer elastischen Wand 21 (siehe beispielsweise gestrichelte Darstellung in der
Über die beiden Adapterteile 1a und 1b wird sowohl eine drehrichtungsunabhängige exakte Zentrierung und Positionierung als auch eine bei Überlastung leicht lösbare Verbindung geschaffen. Die Verbindung zwischen den beiden Adapterteilen 1a und 1b erfolgt nämlich lediglich durch die Magnetkräfte der Magnetelemente 11 und 15. Die gewünschte exakte Positionierung und Ausrichtung und damit eine Vermeidung von falschen Kontaktverbindungen wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Magnetelemente 11 und 15 als Dauermagnete in einer bestimmten Polung zueinander angeordnet sind. Dies bedeutet z. B., dass das Magnetelement 11 einen Südpol und das Magnetelement 15 einen Nordpol bildet.About the two
