摘要:
Dual directional latch devices or connectors are described wherein a first connector component (12) and a second connector component (14) have a first latched position and a second latched position when moving in a first direction and wherein movement in a second direction is also possible when a restriction feature (26,40) is overcome. As described, opposing magnetic forces, pneumatic pressure, spring force, and a crushable force may be incorporated so that further movement in the second direction must overcome the restriction feature. The dual direction latch devices may be used with articles of manufacture such as with implantable medical devices, door panels, airplane panels, and drilling devices, to name a few.
摘要:
A coil spring includes a plurality of primary wire coils and a plurality of secondary wire coils, the primary and secondary coils being contiguous and differentiated from one another by a dimensional size in order to provide variable force and variable deflection.

A multiple positioning assembly includes a housing having a cavity therein with a circumferential groove disposed proximate a cavity opening. A ball assembly including a ball portion forms a spheroidal joint with the cavity which enables conical movement of the ball assembly. A plunger is slidably disposed within a bore through the ball portion of the ball assembly and electrical connections enable lateral movement of the plunger to control power to a light bulb attached to the plunger.

A multiple positioning assembly with integral switch contact includes a cylindrical housing along with a ball assembly including a ball portion received by the cylindrical assembly. The ball portion includes an electrically conductive surface and a neck extending therefrom. A plurality of spaced apart spring retainers are disposed within the cylindrical housing with electrically conductive coil spring contacts therein. Adjacent spring contacts complete an electrical circuit through the ball portion surface when in simultaneous contact therewith. Spring contacts further enable positioning of the ball portion within the cylindrical housing for conical movement of the neck with the ball portion being axially moveable between the spring contacts.

An electrical conductive path for medical electronic device generally includes a plurality of stackable molded non-conductive housing with each housing having a bore therethrough alignable with adjacent housing bores. The adjacent housings and define any combination when stacked, spaced apart slots for receiving a plurality of electrically conductive spring rings. A plurality of electrically conducting garter springs are disposed within corresponding spring rings and a cable is provided including wires attached to corresponding spring rings.

A spring latching connector (10) includes a housing (12) having a bore therethrough, a piston (14) slidably received in said bore, a circular groove (24) formed in one of said bore and piston and a circular coil spring (30) disposed in the groove for latching said piston and housing together. The groove is sized and shaped for controlling, in combination with a spring configuration, disconnect and connect forces of the spring latching connection.

A connector includes a housing (12) having a bore (14) with a groove (16) disposed on an inside surface (18) of the bore (14). A retainer (28) defines a spring cavity (30) between the retainer (28) and the release angle (22). A circular radial canted coil spring (32) is disposed in the cavity (30). A pin (34) has a tapered end (36) and a body diameter sized for sliding engagement with the bore (14) is provided which includes a circumferential groove (48) in the pin body (38) for receiving the spring (32) upon insertion of the pin (34) into the bore (14). The circumferential groove (48) includes a load angle (46) for rotating the spring (32) in an orientation in which the major spring axis (54) is parallel to the release angle (22) upon initial withdrawal of the pin (34) from the bore (14). The spring (32) is further compressed along a minor axis (56) and expands radially upon continued withdrawal of the pin (34) from the bore (14).

A spring holding connector includes a housing having a bore therethrough and a shaft rotatably and slidably received in the bore, a circular groove is in one of said bore and shaft and a circular spring disposed in the groove for slidably holding said shaft within the bore. The groove is sized and shaped for controlling, in combination with a spring configuration, shaft mobility within the bore.
