Definitions

  • An electrical connector for engagement preferably with relatively thin conductive material comprising, in one embodiment, a pair of generally planar interengaging members matingly arranged in spaced, opposing relationship.
  • Each of preferably a plurality of preferably tapered piercing members selectively disposed adja cent a first surface of at least one of said members is arranged to penetrate through thin conductive material interposed between said members and extend into and be deformed about an associated selectively proportioned transverse aperture in the mating member as said members are compressively urged against the intervening conductive material, to establish a secure connection therebetween.
  • Each of the members may be provided with one or more extending portions for coupling the connector to a further conductor or support member.
  • Other embodiments include a multiple of spaced, interengaging members similarly comprising selectively disposed transverse apertures and mating piercing members.
  • the invention is directed to the field of connectors and principally to a connecting device for thin conductive material.
  • Prior art connectors for electrical conductors or the like generally comprised, in one form or another, a generally deformable ferrule portion adopted to be mechanically crimped about the end of a conductor inserted therein.
  • a need for suitable means to effect a secure mechanical and electrical connection to such material was recognized.
  • Attempts to provide an adequate connection to the foil-like material generally comprised joining by welding, brazing, or soldering, which methods often proved to be expensive, time consuming, and inconvenient, requiring relatively specialized and cumbersome equipment.
  • toothed connectors developed for use with foil type material have generally been unsatisfactory because of the tendency of such connectors to merely pierce and mechanically damage the material while failing to provide adequate retention and protection adjacent the area of connection.
  • the invention overcomes the problems and limitations noted above with respect to such prior art connecting means by providing a readily crimpable connector having interlocking piercing members and receiving apertures therefor suitably arranged to pierce and securely retain a portion of a foil material interposed between the members thereof while affording an effective means for 'intercoupling said members.
  • the connector may be formed as a single folded member, or as a series of interconnected spaced, generally planar members disposed in generally overlapping arrangement.
  • Each of one or more foil-piercing members formed preferably as tapered protrusions extends outwardly from a surface of one member and is selectively proportioned for mating engagement with an associ ated transverse aperture in a mating member.
  • Each member may be provided with a succession of altemating piercing members and apertures for engagement with a similar arrangement in the mating member.
  • Each of the tapered protrusions maybe appropriately modified to provide, for example, either a generally bifurcated terminating end or a spear-like extension to enhance the desired penetration of the foil material and the subsequent deformation of the free end of the piercing member adjacent its associated mating aperture.
  • the mating members maybe formed of any suitable material adapted for use with conductive material, which may include copper, aluminum, brass or the appropriate alloys thereof, or a combination of such materials.
  • the mating members of the connector are disposed on either side of a portion of the foil material to which such connector is to be attached, and compressed thereagainst by interposing the members between the jaws of an appropriate tool.
  • the free end of the piercing members are thus caused to penetrate the foil and enter into and partially extend beyond an associated transverse aperture in the mating member, thus contacting an immediately adjacent portion of the compressing tool and deforming about the opening adjacent thereto.
  • the resultant deformation causes an expansion of said free end partially within the transverse passage, and partially adjacent the opening formed by the communication of said passage with the surface of said member remote from the foil engaging surface, to lockingly engage the mating members one to another while securely engaging the foil material therebetween.
  • each transverse passage may be suitably recessed to permit the free end of the piercing member to be at least partially deformed thereinto, thus providing a relatively smooth transition between said endand the adjacent connector surface. Further, the area surrounding the opening formed by the communication of the transverse passage with the foil engaging surface of the connector may be appropriately raised to provide increased pressure thereat. It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an improved connector.

  • Connector 20 comprises, essentially, coupled first and second members 22 and 24, respectively, hingedly arranged in generally overlapping spaced relationship, substantially as shown.
  • Piercing members 26 are disposed on a first surface 28 of member 22 and "extend upwardly therefrom generally normal to surface 28.
  • Each piercing member 26 is arranged for mating engagement with an associated aperture 30 extending between the first and second surfaces 32 and 34, respectively, of second member 24, as said members 22 and 24 are compressively urged together.
  • piercing members 26 may be disposed in selectively staggered or scattered arrangement adjacent surface 28, as desired.
  • One or more additional piercing members 36 similar to member 26, may be provided adjacent the first surface 32 of member 24, each being arranged for engagement with an associated aperture 38 extending between the first and second surfaces, 28 and 39, respectively, of member 22.
  • Piercing members 26 and 36 may be formed by lancing, as shown for example in FIG. I, or by skiving orotherwise deforming the surface of either member 22 and 24, or, alternatively, by affixing said members to the surface by welding, brazing, soldering, or other commonly employed methods adaptable therefor.
  • Each of the piercing members 26, 36 may be formed as a generally triangular element, substantially as shown in FIG. 1, or may be suitably modified to provide a generally bifurcated member as at 40 in FIG. 1 l, or a barbed-head configuration 42, as shown in FIG. 12, each being equally as effective for the use and purposes set forth herein.
  • Each of the apertures 30 extending through connector member 24 may be provided with a recessed portion 43 adjacently disposed thereabout, to receive the subsequently deformed free end of an associated piercing member 26 in a manner more fully described below. It will be readily apparent that although apertures 30 are shown in FIG.
  • An extending portion such as ferrule 44 may be affixed to or extend contiguously outwardly from one or the other, or both, of connector members 22 and 24, although shown for convenience as extending from member22, whereit is desired to affix connector 20 to a further article not readily engageable within members 22 and 24. Where necessary or desirable, ferrule 44' may be readily replaced by other suitable extensions appropriately adapted for interengagement with,
  • mating terminals for example, mating terminals, other connectors, or support members.
  • Connector 46 of FIG. 2 comprises three selectively spaced generally overlapping members, 50, 52 and 54 each joined to an adjacent member preferably at one end to form a tail portion 56, which although not essential, may be apertured, as at 58, or otherwise configured, to provide a means for securing connector 46 to a further connector or support member (not shown).
  • Each of the members 50, 52, 54 may be appropriately provided with piercing members such as 60 and/or transverse apertures such as 62-in such combination and arrangement as to provide one or more sets of mating elements, each set comprising a piercing member and a receiving aperture therefor.
  • Each piercing member 60 is arranged for engagement with an associated aperture 62 as members 50, 52 and 54 are urged together. It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that members 50, 52 and 54 may be conveniently co-joined in accordian-like fashion, where desired, the resulting structure being somewhat similar to that shown in FIG. 1, but differing, however, bythe addition of a further member coupled to member 24 at the end thereof remote from the juncture between members 24 and 22. Further, one or more pair of members similar to members 22 and 24 of FIG. 1 may be co-joined thereto at the juncture of said members 22 and 24, providing a plurality of independently crimpable connector portions. Where necessary or desirable, at least one further member may be added to the connector 46 of FIG.
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 wherein, in FIG. 4, there is shown a connector 72 interengagedly disposed about, and joining, the respective ends 74 and 76 of a relatively thin material 78, 80 interposed within the members 82, 84 of connector 72.
  • the respective ends 74 and 76 of the material to be joined are placed between connector members 82 and 84 in butting contacting arrangement, substantially as shown, or overlapped, if so desired.
  • a compressive force is then applied to said members, by means of an appropriately formed tool (not shown) to cause each of the piercing members 86 to penetrate through the adjacent material 78, 80 and enter its respective aperture 88.
  • the interrelationship between members 82 and 84, piercing member 86 and its associated aperture 88, prior to penetration, is more clearly shown in FIG. 5.
  • a portion of the material 78 generally overlying the piercing member 86 prior to penetration is urged along with piercing member 86 into aperture 88, and thereby locked within the gap therebetween, as shown at 94 in FIG. 6.
  • the end 96 of piercing member 86 extending beyond aperture 88 after penetration is caused to be enlargeably deformed in generally mushroom-like fashion upon its contact with the adjacent surface of the jaw of the compressive tool, or other similar device, (not shown) employed to close the connector members 82 and 84 upon the ends 74, 76 respectively of material 78, 80.
  • the deformation of the free end 96 of piercing member 86 about the opening of passage 88 adjacent thereto further operates to intimately lock the connector members 82, 84 together while securing the ends 74, 76 of material 78, 80, respectively, therebetween. It should be understood that where there are more than two overlying, spaced connector members, as shown, for example, in FIGS.
  • each of the piercing members of one connector member may be suitably arranged to extend through its mating aperture in the immediately adjacent connector member and impinge against the adjacent surface of the following connector member to effect the deformation thereof similar to that shown in FIG. 6.
  • a portion 98 of the material 78 urged through aperture 88 and extending therebeyond is caused to be foreibly displaced outwardly against the immediately adjacent recessed portion 90 of surface 92 of member 84 as end 96 of piercing member 86 is deformed thereagainst, advantageously providing additional contact area between the members 82 and 84 and the material 78 interposed therebetween.
  • aperture 88 may be appropriately modified as shown, for example, in FIG.
  • the aperture defining walls 100 are selectively inclined to more closely match the generally tapered contour of the mating piercing member 102, wherein, by the suitable proportioning of piercing member 102 and its mating aperture the portion 104 of material 78 adjacent piercing member 102 is effectively intimately wedged within the gap between piercing member 102 and the aperture wall 100, and is additionally caused to undergo a less severe bending than that resulting from the arrangement illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. Consequently, any tendency for the material 78 to fracture or tear adjacent the area of angular deformation indicated as at 106 in FIG. 10 is thereby appreciably reduced, thus advantageously maintaining a continuous area of contact between said material and the surfaces of the connector immediately adjacent the zone of penetration.
  • a recessed portion such as 90 (FIG. 5) may be provided adjacent aperture 88 to, for example, accommodate the enlarged free end 96 of piercing member 86 (FIGS. 5 and 6) after deformation, thus conveniently effecting a relatively smooth transition between the piercing member end 96 and the surrounding connector surface.
  • the recessed portion 90 may, of course, be eliminated, as shown, for example, in FIG.
  • a raised portion 110 (FIGS. 8 and 9) generally surrounding the piercing member receiving aperture 112 adjacent the opening thereof overlying material 78, 80 may be provided.
  • the raised portion 110 is compressively urged against the immediately adjacent portion of material 78, thus providing additional engagement therebetween.
  • a connection comprising: a connector having at least one first and second members, each having a first surface and a second surface, said first surfaces being arranged in generally spaced, opposing relationship to define an article receiving cavity therebetween; said second member having at least one first transverse aperture therethrough, extending between said first surface and said second surface thereof; a first recessed portion of substantially uniform depth completely surrounding said first transverse aperture adjacent the opening formed by the communication of said first transverse aperture and said second member second surface; a sheet of thin material situated between said first and said second members, and at least one first piercing means disposed adjacent said first member first surface and protruding outwardly therefrom generally normal to the plane thereof, said first piercing means being dimensionally proportioned to fit closely within said first transverse aperture, the height of said first piercing means being greater than the thickness of said second member, said first piercing means terminating in a free end aligned with an associated first transverse aperture said first and second members being pressed together so that said first surfaces thereof are in intimate contact with
  • a connection as defined in claim 1 wherein said first piercing means comprises a generally tapered member having its larger enddisposed adjacent said first member first surface.
  • a connection as defined in claim 1 further comprising a raised shoulder portion surrounding said first transverse aperture adjacent the opening formed by the communication of said first transverse aperture and said second member first surface, said raised shoulder portion communicating generally with the base of an associated first piercing means upon the closure of said first and said second members, to further entrap a portion of such thin material therebetween.
  • connection as defined in claim 1 further comprising an extending portion coupled to at least one of said first and second members for coupling said connector to a further article disposed adjacent theretov
