H. ROTTENBURG PLUG AND SOCKET CONNEG'I'ER AND THE LIKE Filed Feb. 18, 1926 Patented July 24, 1928.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PLUG AND SOCKET CONNECTED. AND THE LIKE.
Application filed February 18. 1926, Serial No. 89,172, and in Great Britain larch 9, 1925.
This invention relates to plug and socket connecters and the like and it has for object improvements by which certain advantages shall be obtained.
According to the present invention, a socket member of a plug and socket connecter has a contact of bi-partite construction. of which one part is attached to the socket and constitutes a clip to hold in position the other part with which the plug makes contact.
- Conveniently, the socket member comprises the combination with a tubular member having attached thereto, a spring member, for example of U-shape, of a second member which is engaged by and held in place by the spring member, and which is engaged by the plug member. The second member may be of U-shape or substantially U-shape, and the spring member of U-shape has cuts or depressions in its legs which engage a depression or depressions at the base of the U in the second member.
The second member may have means for the attachment of an electric conductor, such as a tag cut and bent out from the body of the member. or a terminal secured with a screw and washer.
Forms of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. wherein Fig. 1 shows the contact of a socket member of a plug and socket connecter in perspective and with the two parts separated:
Fig. 2 shows a socket member mounted on a panel with a plug member 1n position, and
Fig. 3 shows a modified form of one part of a socket member.
1 is a tubular member which is mounted in a carrier or panel 2 of insulating material. The front. end of the tubular memher 1 is bent over to engage the face of the carrier 2. The opposite end is passed through a hole 3 in the base of a U-shaped member 4 and is swaged or opened out to secure the u-shaped member to the carrier. The U-shaped member is of springy material, such as phosphor bronze, the legs 5 have cuts or depressions 6 near their ends and said ends preferably rounded and bent out-wards as shown at 7. A second member of U- shape with its legs 8 bent together at their outer ends has a depression 9 on each side at its base which, when the said second member is-forced between the legs of the U-shaped member 4. engage the cuts or depressions 6 in the legs whereby the second member is held in position. The ends of the legs of the second member are cut away at the corners as shown at 10 and their outer ends are bent slightly away from each other as shown at 11 Thus, when the second member is in positlon as shown in Fig. 2 the ends of the legs 8 are disposed immediately over the tubular member 1 and the parts It) bear on the legs 5 of the member 4. and the arrangement is such that when the plug member 12 is inserted through the tubular member 1 it engages the legs 8 of the second member and makes contact therewith.
Both the U-shaped members are conveniently formed by stamping from springy material, such as phosphor bronze, and the second member has a portion 13 cut out and bent upwards from the bottom of the U to form a tag or contact to which connecting wires may be soldered or otherwise connected. Or. the end of a connecting wire may be laid across the bottom of the memher. the tag 13 bent over and solder applied.
The invention provides a construction of plug and socket connecter in which the contact part of the socket member is easily renewable and in which there is a slight freedom so that the contact may adjust itself to the plug member. The engagement of the parts 10 with the legs 5 prevents the outer ends 11 of the second member from projectacross the hole 3 so as to foul the point of the plug member 12.
In Fig. 2 the plug member 12 comprises the tag of a telephone cord or flex, but it will be understood that the plug member may be of pin form to which a connecting wire may be attached as by soldering or by nuts screwed on to the pin.
In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the means for the attachment of an electric conductor comprises a terminal 14.
\Vhat I claim is 1. A socket member for a plug and socket connector comprising a tubular member, a spring member of U-shape secured thereby having depressions in its legs and a second member of U-shape having a depression towards its base which is engaged by a depression in a leg of the first mentioned U- shaped member.
2. A socket member for a plug and socket connector comprising a tubular member, a spring member of U-shape secured thereby having depressions in its legs, a seeondmember of U-shape having a depression at its her of U-sha-pe having adepresison at its base which is engaged by a depression in a base which is engaged by a depression in a leg of the first mentioned U-shaped member leg of the first mentioned U-shaped member and means for the attachment of an electric 5 and n'leans for the attachment of an electric conductor to said second member eompris- 15 conductor to said secc rid member of U-shape. ing a tag cut and bent out from the body A socket member for a plug and socket of said member. connector comprising a tubular member, a Dated thi fourth day of February 1926 spring member of U-shape secured thereby having depressions in its legs, a second mem- HENRY ROTTENBURG.
