Abstract:
A swiveling electrical connector (560) is described. A male assembly (500) has three conductors (504, 508, 510) electrically isolated from each other. A first one of the three conductors in the male assembly includes a cylindrical surface. A female assembly (520) has three conductors (524, 526, 532) electrically isolated from each other and a receptacle for receiving the male assembly. A first one of the three conductors in the female assembly has a clip (536) assembly extending therefrom for contacting the cylindrical surface of the first conductor in the male assembly. A locking mechanism is coupled to the female assembly for locking the male and female assemblies together when the male assembly is inserted into the female assembly thereby providing electrical contact between the male assembly conductors and the female assembly conductors. The male and female assemblies rotate relative to each other when locked together, the clip assembly in the female assembly maintaining contact with the first conductor in the male assembly while the male and female assemblies rotate relative to each other.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Reisesteckeradapter, welcher hierin auch kurz als Reisestecker bezeichnet wird. Mit Hilfe eines solchen Adapters können Netzstecker einer bestimmten (heimischen) Norm am Reiseort in die dort vorhandenen Steckdosen eingesteckt werden. Insbesondere geht es um einen Reisesteckeradapter (10), welcher ein Gehäuse und eine Steckeraufnahme (16) aufweist, welche eine ersten Erdkontaktaufnahme (18D, 18E, 70) aufweist und mindestens einen ersten Stecker (38) einer ersten Norm aufweist, wobei dem Stecker (38) ein Betätigungselement (26) zugeordnet ist, das zum Verschieben des Steckers (38) zwischen einer Bereitschaftsstellung, in welcher sich der Stecker (38) im Wesentlichen innerhalb des Gehäuses befindet, und einer Nutzstellung, in welcher sich der Stecker (38) verwendbar außerhalb des Gehäuses befindet, ausgebildet ist, und dem Stecker (38) ein erster Erdkontakt (44) zugeordnet ist, der elektrisch mit der Erdkontaktaufnahme (18D, 18E, 70) verbindbar ist, wobei die Erdkontaktaufnahme (18D, 18E, 70) sowohl in der Nutzstellung als auch in Übergangsstellungen zwischen der Bereitschaftsstellung und der Nutzstellung mit dem Erdkontakt (44) verbunden ist.
Abstract:
According to techniques of the present application, an apparatus for covering at least a portion of a cord includes a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion may include a bowl region having an upper rim. The lower portion may also include flexible tabs that substantially surround or completely surround the upper rim. Each of the flexible tabs may extend outwardly or downwardly from the upper rim. The upper portion may have a lower rim that extends below the outer edges of each of the flexible tabs when the upper portion is engaged to the lower portion. The upper portion may contact each of the flexible tabs when the upper portion is engaged to the lower portion. The apparatus may include a securing member extending downwardly from the lower portion to secure the apparatus to a resting surface.
Abstract:
A modular electric socket assembly (10, 50, 60) comprises a male plug unit (7, 7A, 7b, 157) electrically connected to a cover plate member (51,61,91,165) having at least one electric socket (52, 92, 94), and a female plug unit (4.4A, 4B) retained in a wall and electrically connected to an electric supply system. Pins of the male plug unit (8a-c, 157) are coupleable with corresponding cavities (5a-c) of the female plug unit. In one embodiment, the socket assembly is a strip assembly (90) having a panel (90B) on which are printed a plurality of conductive elements (141-148), a cover plate member (165) having at least two socket regions (92, 94) and attached to the panel, and a male plug unit (157) interconnected with the panel. The conductive elements are arranged so as to connect in electrically conductable alignment a user device coupled to a selected socket region, each contact (126a-c, 127a-c) of the panel associated with the selected socket region, conductors associated with the male plug unit, and conductors associated with the female plug unit.

Abstract:
An electrical connector that includes a first part housing for supporting contacting elements each configured to conductively couple with an electrical power source. First part coupling elements are configured to move between a connected and an unconnected configuration. In the connected configuration, each first part coupling element conductively couples with contacting elements, and in the unconnected configuration the first part coupling elements are not conductively coupled with contacting elements. At least one biasing element is configured to maintain the first part coupling elements in the unconnected configuration. A second part housing supports second part coupling elements each configured to conductively couple with one of the first part coupling elements. At least one magnetic element i s configured to move and maintain the first part coupling elements into the connected configuration, wherein in the connected configuration electrical current can flow from the contacting elements to the second coupling elements.
