Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Device for the electrical connection between cables and ribbon-like flexible conductors, and more particularly a connecting device, adapted to perform the electrical continuity between the traditional-type cables and ribbon-like flexible conductors.
  • This invention relates to a device for the electrical connection between cables and ribbon-like flexible conductors, and more particularly a connecting device, adapted to perform the electrical continuity between the traditional-type cables and ribbon-like flexible conductors.
  • the manufacturing method of the instant device is an integral part of the present invention.
  • Said conductors are essentially made up of a thin ribbon or band of plastic material as support means, on which there is coated a film, consisting of a good electrically conducting material.
  • Said conductive coat is then sheathed and protected by a further film, consisting of insulating plastic material.
  • said connecting device is shaped so as to bring one portion of the surface ofa ribbon-like conductor into direct contact with the suitably shaped terminal of a circular or almost circular cable.
  • the aforesaid connecting device consist of two parts, which may be connected to each other via a rigid prismatic-type coupling.
  • the hollow part which may be considered as approx imately corresponding to a socket, is provided with pairs of suitably grooved internal seats, in which may be engaged terminals, consisting of a plate in the body of which there is formed a tongue being inclined downwardly.
  • Said plate shows further a portion of smaller width, which folds over upwardly.
  • Said member shows some slots into which engage the end portions of the ribbon-like cables to be connected to the traditional cables.
  • a flexible type coupling made up of two arms, integral with the hollow member the ends of which enter two drilled lugs, shown on the sides of the tap member.
  • FIG. 1 represent a schematic view of the vertical section of the connector of this invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a view from the high of the hollow member, constituting the socket of the connector
  • FIG. 3 shows the vertical section of the socket given the preceding figure
  • FIG. 4 shows the vertical section of the tap member, constituting the plug of the connector
  • FIG. 5 represents a horizontal section of the socket given in FIGS. 2 and 3;
  • FIG. 6 shows the horizontal section of the plug
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show in a schematical form two side views, opposite each other, of the plug
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate in a schematical form two side views, opposite each other, of the socket
  • FIG. 11 represents a schematical front view of the socket
  • FIG. 12 shows a schematical view from the high of the plug.
  • the connector of this invention is made up of a box-like body 1, consisting of plastic material.
  • Said box-like body 1 is provided with an intermediate transversal wall 2, in which there are formed two or more parallel slots 3 suitable width for the passage of the cable 9.
  • the plates 8 are provided on the lower part with small tongues 10 engaging tripwise in a lowered zone 11, formed in the member 4 between the various pairs of arms 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the terminal inside the box-like body 1.
  • Said bars which are sufficiently flexible, are provided at their free ends with raised portions 13 and 13 being shaped like a hook.
  • the same bars 12 and 12 show further a different width, whereas they are equal in length and reach the edge of the box-like body 1 on the sides of which at said bars there are provided two openings 14, permitting to bend to an adequate extent the bars themselves.
  • the connector according to the present invention is completed with a tap member 15, which serves as plug, provided with an outer section, being equal to the internal section of said box-like body.
  • the tap member is provided with two side lugs 19 and 19', showing with different dimensions a rectangular configuration, in which there are formed throughopenings 20 and 20' of different sections.
  • the aforesaid through-openings are so dimensioned as to ensure the passage of the ends 13 and 13' of the bars 12 and 12', integral with the boxlike body 1, when said member 15 is fastened into the box-like body.
  • Said end portions are secured to the projecting edge of the member 15 by means of rivets 21 or screws.
  • the conducting bands 22 are cut off for functional reasons prior to beding their support ribbon l8 and furthermore between two adjacent bands there is formed in the body of the support ribbon itself a groove. adapted to improve the insulating characteristics of the conductors themselves.
  • the electrical connection between the two cable types is ensured by the contact between the upper rearwardly folded up part 23 of the plates 8 of the terminals and a portion of the conducting bands 22, from which the insulating material layer has been obviously removed.
  • a separable electrical connector particularly for use between cables of circular cross section and flat cross section, comprising a plug part comprising an outer peripheral wall defining a cavity, two lugs fixedly secured to the outer surface of said wall and each having an opening therein, two slots provided in said plug part to receive flat cables, and at least two parallel central members in the interior of said cavity spaced apart from each other and from said peripheral wall; and a socket part comprising a housing of insulating material defining a recess adapted to receive said outer peripheral wall of said plug part, two arms fixedly secured to said housing and adapted to engage said lugs by snap action when said plug part is inserted into said socket part, a transverse wall provided with parallel slots for the passage of a conducting cable, and conducting plate members connected to said conducting cable so situated so as to make electrical contact with said flat cables in said plug part when said plug part is inserted into said socket part.
  • each of said arms terminate in a hook-shaped raised end portion.
