Patent

CA 2251743

A swiveling electrical connector is described which includes a male assembly and a female assembly having a receptacle for receiving the male assembly. A locking mechanism coupled to the female assembly locks the male and female assemblies together when the male assembly is inserted into the female assembly thereby providing electrical contact between conductors in the male assembly and corresponding conductors in the female assembly. The locking mechanism is operable to facilitate a quick release of the male assembly from the female assembly. The male and female assemblies rotate relative to each other when locked together. The present invention is useful as a connector for triple-conductor power cords comprising male and female coupling assemblies which rotate relative to each other when connected. In one embodiment, the connector of the present invention is a plunger-type connector in which an elongated male assembly is inserted into an open female assembly. Each of the assemblies has three concentrically arranged conductors separated by concentrically arranged insulating layers. Each conductor is in electrical contact with its corresponding conductor in the other assembly when the assemblies are connected.

L'invention concerne un connecteur électrique pivotant (fig.2) qui comporte un ensemble mâle (100) et un ensemble femelle (120) doté d'un réceptacle pour recevoir l'ensemble mâle. Un mécanisme de verrouillage accouplé à l'ensemble femelle verrouille ensemble les ensembles mâle et femelle, ce qui permet d'assurer le contact électrique entre les conducteurs (106, 108, 110) de l'ensemble mâle et les conducteurs correspondants (124, 126, 134) de l'ensemble femelle. Le mécanisme de verrouillage facilite le désaccouplement rapide de l'ensemble mâle de l'ensemble femelle. Les ensembles mâle et femelle tournent l'un par rapport à l'autre lorsqu'ils sont verrouillés ensemble.
