. 17 Claims.
The present invention relates to electric sockets of the type having provisions for preventing short-circuit oi the terminals thereof when the socket is empty. Sockets of this type 5 are particularly adapted for use in locations where there is some chance that pieces of tin foil or other metallic particles may fall into empty sockets and short-circuit the exposed terminals.
For example, the socket is well adapted ior use with strings of decorative lights, such as Christmas. tree lights.
The object of my invention is to provide an improved construction and arrangement in sockets of this type and for a consideration of what I 15 believe to be novel and my invention attention is directed to the accompanying descriptionand the claims appended hereto. p
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of a socket embodyin y inven-- tion; Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 with a lamp in the socket; Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the diaphragnr closing the lower end of the screw shell and the contact associated therewith, and Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of a 25 modification.
Referring to the drawing, the socket has a base or husk I of suitable molded insulating material. The base has a cylindrical recess 2 at its upper end in which the parts of the socket are asserti- 30 bled. At the lower end of the recess is a-disk 3 of insulating material which rests on a shoulder 4. At the center of the disk is a rivet 5 which secures a terminal 6 to theunderside of the disk. The head 1 of the rivet is on the upper side of the disk and serves as a. contact for connecting the terminal 5 with thecenter terminal of the socket in a manner which is described below. Near the periphery of the disk is a rivet 8 which secures a terminal 9 to the underside of the disk. The head 40 In of the rivet is on the upper side of the disk and serves as a contact for connecting the terminal 8 to the screw shell in a manner which is described below. In .the use of the socket the. terminals 6 and 9 are respectively connected to one of the line conductors. The line conductors extend from the terminals through an opening I I in the lower end of the base. The space surrounding the terminals and conductors may be filled with a suitable insulating cement for holding the conductors in place. The manner of connecting the conductors to the terminals is not shown, it being well understood in the art. On the upper side of the disk 3 is a spacing sleeve I2 of insulating material. 0n the upper 55 edge of the sleeve I? rests an assembly which minal of the socket and the lower end of which is 1 0 directly above and spaced irom the contact 1. When the socket is empty the contact I1 is therefore insulated from the line conductors. On the upper side of the diaphragm i4 is a screw shell I9 which is secured in the recess 2 by frictional engagement of a flange with the side walls 2| of the base. At the lower end of the screw shell is an inwardly projecting flange 22 having a depression therein (not shown) into which the tongue l5 fits. The tongue [5 makes contact with a portion'23 of the flange 22. The metal stamping I3 is cut away to provide a flexible tongue 24 having a downwardly extending portion 25 at its free end which is directly above and is normally spaced from the contact ill. The intermediate portion of the tongue 24 is annular in shape, the lower end of the contact I! extending through and being spaced from the edges of the opening 26 therein. l When a plug is threaded into the socket, as shown in Fig. 2, the centercontact I8 of the plug engages the center terminal ll of the socket and forces it downward into engagement with the contact 1, thereby completing a circuit from the line terminal 6 to the center terminal 11. The downward movement of the terminal ll is made possible by flexing of the diaphragm. At the same time the tongue 24 which rests against the lower side of the diaphragm is forced downward until the downwardly extending portion 25 is forced into engagement with the contact Hi thereby completing a circuit from the line terminal 9 to the screw shell. When the plug is unthreaded from the shell, the diaphragm and the tongue 24 return to the position shown in Fig. .1 thereby breaking 4 the circuit from the line terminals 6 and 8 to the screw shell I!) and the center terminal ll of the socket. When the socket is empty the exposed terminals of the socket are therefore insulated and there is no danger of shortcircuiting the terminals by pieces of tin foil or other metallic particles which may fall into the empty socket.
In order to facilitate assembly of the socket, the disk 3, the spacing sleeve l2, the assembly comprising the metal stamping l3-and the dia- 55 Fig. 4 shows a modification oi the socket in which the function of the sleeve 2! is filled by a sleeve 28 which is integral with the lower end of the screw shell. The other parts of the socket are of the same construction as the socket shown in Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, the corresponding parts being denoted by the same reference characters. In the assembly of this socket. the diaphragm I4 with the stamping l3 fixed thereto is inserted through the lower end of the sleeve 28. The tongue I5 makes contact with a flange 29 at the upper end of the sleeve 28. The spacing sleeve and the disk 3 are then inserted, the position of the disk 3 being such that the contact Ill is'in alignment with the contact 25. The partsare then held in assembled relation by spinning over a flange-30 at the lower end of the sleeve 23. The screw shell with its assembled parts may-then be pressed into the base and held therein by frictional engagement between the side walls II of the base and the flange at the upper end of the screw shell.
The operation of the socket shown in Fig. 4 is identical with the operation of the socket shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive.
