Abstract
A device (1) electrically connects of a connecting line (2) to an electrode (44), in particular a medical engineering skin electrode, with a contact member (3) for plug connection to a contact pin (43) of the electrode (44). The contact member (3) has an energy storing element (4) for spring biasing of the contact member (3) into contact with the contact pin (43) of the electrode (44). The device (1) has at least one actuating element (8,9) mounted to be deflected such that the contact member (3) may be actuated to an open position.
Claims20
A device for electrically connecting a connecting line to an electrode, comprising:
- a housing;
- a first contact member mounted in said housing for connection to a contact pin of an electrode, said contact member having first energy storage element for spring biasing said contact member to engage the contact pin;
- and
- a first actuating element mounted in said housing to deflect said energy storing element and move said contact member to an open position to receive the contact pin.
A device for electrically connecting a line to an electrode, comprising
- a housing having a bore extending along a longitudinal axis of the housing and having a first lateral opening extending substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis and being connected therewith;
- a driving element rotatable mounted in said bore and having a cam at an inner end thereof and eccentric to said longitudinal axis;
- a contact member engaged by said cam, mounted in said housing and extending across a portion of said bore substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, said contact member being spring biased toward a closed position in a direction of said longitudinal axis and being moveable to an open position away from said longitudinal axis by rotation of said cam;
- and
- a first actuating element movable translationally in directions substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis in said first lateral opening and eccentrically coupled to said driving element to rotate said driving element as said first actuating element moves toward and away from said longitudinal axis.
