8 Claims.
The present invention relates to electrical connectors.
One object of the invention is to provide a plug and socket .assembly for connecting two electrical-circuits, the assembly possessing both a high current-carrying capacity and a high resistance to overheating.
Another object of the invention is to provide a plug and socket assembly in which a plurality of high pressure current-conducting points of contact are created between the assembled members.
A further object of the invention is to provide asocket formed of conducting material and containing a spring wire member coiled in such a manner that insertion of a plug within the coil will result in the wire being forced outwardly against the inner wall of the socket.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a coiled spring contact member designed to receive a plug, the contact points between the spring and the plug being automatically cleaned by the abrasive action of the latter whenever it is inserted or withdrawn.
Other objects-and advantages will be apparent from the following description of a preferred form of the invention and from the drawings. in
which:.
. Fig. J. is a top view, partly in section, of a preferred form of socket assembly in accordance with the present invention taken along the line Il of Fig. 2 and showing the configuration of the spring member;
Fig. 2 is a section through 2--2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a top view, partly in section, of a modification of the socket assembly of Fig. 1 take along the line 33 of Fig. 4;
Fig. 4 is a section through 4-4 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a side elevation of one type of plug that. may be used with the sockets of Figs. 1 through 4.
Conventional plug and socket assemblies have a current-carrying capacity that is limited both by the contacting area between the two conducting parts and also by the pressure between these parts. For this reason it is highly desirable to have a comparatively large number of points of contact, and also to have as high a pressure as practicable between the conducting elements at such points.
. The standard cylindrical plug and socket cannot meet the above conditions due to the limitation on the pressure obtainable in such a structure between the two contacting surfaces. In a like manner the conventional coil spring contact is limited to the maximum current-carrying capacity of a single turn of the wire constituting the coil, since all of the current conducted by the coil must pass through each convolution of the w e. 1 I
With the above conditions in view, the present invention provides a plug and socket assembly having a large number of current-conducting points of contact, the pressure between the members at such points being substantially increased when the plug is inserted in the socket. This increase in pressure is obtained through the particular construction of the spring member engaged by the plug, so that insertionof the plug forces the spring member outwardly against the inner wall of the socket. The multiple high-pressure points of contact thus obtained provide an exceptionally good current-conducting device with low resistance connections in which the tendency to heating is reduced to a minimum.
In Figs. 1 through 4 of the drawings is shown a socket [0 formed of conducting material and having an axially extending portion l l. A spring wire member l8 or Ilia shaped in a manner hereinafter to be described is positioned within thesocket l0 so that it contacts the inner wall of the latter at a pluralitypf points. In orderto hold the resilient wire l8 or l8a in place along the axis of the socket, the top lip of the latter is preferably spun over as shown-at I3 to form a circular opening it, but it is clear that other means of holding the wire in thesocket may be employed, such for example as a retaining ring positioned in a slot in the socket wall. The opening l2 defined by extending portion ll of the socket is preferably designed to receive the end of an electrical conductor, which is then secured in place by any well-known manner such as soldering. It will be also understood that any known means of connecting the socket to an electrical circuit is within the scope of the invention, such for example as threading the portion 1 l for connection as a binding post, or inserting the portion ll through a panel opening and the peening over the projecting end of such portion. A plug 23, shown in Fig. 5, receives the extremity of another electrical conductor 2| in the usual manner. This plug has been illustrated as being of substantially round configuration, but a plug of any other crosssectional shape which produces the results hereinafter to be described may be employed in place thereof.
From Figs. 1 and 2 it will be seen that the spring wire member I8 is shaped somewhat in the form of a rectangle, so that it contacts the inner wall of socket ill at four points 20 for each convolution of the wire. When the tip of the plug 23 is inserted in the recess l9, it will contact the wire at four points 22 (see Fig. 1). Due to the bowed shape of the W re I8, and also to the relative size of the plug and recess, further insertion of the plug will force apart the walls of the recess and substantially increase the pressure atpoints between the wire and the inner wall of socket ill. The pressure will also be high between the wire l8 and plug 23 at points 22. The resulting connection will have excellent current-conducting properties for the reasons mentioned above. Furthermore, each time that the plug 23 is inserted in the recess I! it acts to clean the surface of wire I. at points 22, thus eliminating the possibility of dirt or corrosion interfering with the conduction of current at such points.
In Figs. 3 and 4 is shown an alternative construction of Figs. 1 and 2 in which the spring wire member Ila has an approximately triangular shape. Due to the curved surface of the wire at points 2|, insertion of the plug 20 in recess Isa will force the wire Ila against the inner wall of socket ll at points 24 in a manner similar to that described aboye. Thus. three high pressure contacting points between the wire Ila and each of the members Ill and 23 are established for each convolution of the wire Ila.
It'will be noted that in each of the modifications of Figs. 1 and 3 the wire member 18 is shaped so that the inwardly-projecting portions are bowed," or bent in such a manner that the external diameter of the spring member at points 20 or 24 is increased when the plug is inserted in the recess It or I941. This bowed construction is clearly not limited to any specific number of projecting portions, but any polygonally-sided recess defined by the spring member may be used as long as the above-mentioned principle of operation is present.
While I have described above the principles of my invention in connection with certain articles and particular modifications thereof, it is to be clearly understood that this description is made only by way of example and not as a limitation on the scopeof my invention as set forth in the objects and the accompanying claims.
