Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A multi-way adapter, suitable for electrical connection between the segment terminals of the electrical equipment and flexible ribbon-like leads, wherein there is provided a box-shaped body of parallelepiped configuration, consisting of plastic material, having a median cavity and one or more side cavities, disposed parallel to said cavity, the latter showing in the central portion a partition wall parallel to the axis of the cavity itself and from the ends of which depart upwardly two flexible, parallel arms, provided with a step relief, being beveled on the lower part 7- and arranged at their outer face, said box-shaped body being further provided at the longitudinal walls of the median cavity and slots with recesses having an embossed reference portion and on which there are disposed spring elements, being shaped so as to exert a pressure in direction of the adjacent slots, said springs permitting the contact between the terminals of the ribbon-like leads and terminals of the
  • segment type terminals such, for example, as the dual filament for projectors, as used in the motor car industry
  • devices are required, creating a secure contact between the terminals themselves and a portion of the corresponding ribbon-like lead.
  • Said adapter is in fact provided with two or more slots in which may be located the end terminals of the electrical equipment.
  • the adapter of this invention is made up so as to clamp the aforesaid end segments in their seats and to ensure a certain mechanical pressure on the contact.
  • FIG. 1 shows in a schematical from a section of the adapter according to the present invention along a vertical plane through A A given in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 2 represents in a schematical form a section of the adapter in FlG. 1 according to a horizontal plane through C C given in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows in a schematical form the horizontal section according to the plane through B- B in FIG. 1 of the adapter given in the preceding figures.
  • the multi-way adapter is constituted of a box-shaped body (1) having a parallelepiped configuration, consisting of plastic material, provided with a median cavity (2).
  • a partition wall (3) In the central portion of said cavity (2) there is disposed a partition wall (3), parallel to the axis of the cavity itself and from the end of which depart two symmetrical arms (4) and (4'), being sufficiently flexible and consisting these, too, of plastic material.
  • the arms (4) and (4') extend upwardly said partition wall so as to be easily grasped and brought side-by-side, and show in a suitable position and preferably at the upper part of the cavity and on their outer face a steplike relief (5) and (5') being beveled on the lower part.
  • the aforementioned springs (10) are further provided with an overhanging portion (11), which inserts itself underneath the embossed portion (9), thereby clamping the blade (10) itself into its seat.
  • Said terminals are provided at the step reliefs (5) and (5)v with an opening (16) into which is inserted, snapwise, the steps, when the terminals are inserted into the box-shaped body (1).
  • Said multi-way adapter has been previously described and represented by way of non-limiting embodiment form of the present invention.
  • a multiway adapter comprising a housing having a cavity bounded by a circumferential wall, said housing including two fixedly mounted, flexible, substantially parallel, engaging members extending through said cavity and each defining a gap with said wall; a pair of flexible conductive leads extending into said gap, each intermediate one of said engaging members and said wall; a pair of spring members, each secured to said wall and located in one of said gaps and biasing a respective one of said leads towards the associated engaging member, so as to make electrical contact with a terminal inserted between said lead and the associated engaging member; and locking means on the respective engaging members for securing the inserted terminals against undesired withdrawal.
