Abstract
A twistable electrical connector for computer periphery devices, primarily, in the form of an interface which allows the user to turn the connector at least ninety degrees, such that one can fit the device into places a standard connector will not fit. In the preferred mode, a flexible, semi-rigid plastic pipe construction separates the diversified connector types and extends the twistable connection. Both ends could be any type of interface, as determined by periphery, or items required, where as, each twistable connector consists of a left connector assembly, a right connector assembly and an assembly of semi-rigid plastic constructions, forming the pipe, in which the internal cabling interfacing the 2 connector resides.
Claims9
The Twistable connector shall consist of 3 plastic moldings;
- the left connector, the right connector, and the interlocking member.
A pre-manufactured multi-conductor cable will be inserted within the extension identified in claim 3
The cable (claim 4), inside of the extension (claim 3), would be secured to the left and right connector utilizing a fastening retaining clip, thereby providing strain relief
The twist (rotational movement) of the overall assembly will be limited by the amount of resistance cause by the strain relief and movement allowed by the cable.
The amount of twist of a ball on a socket, (claim 3), is unlimited, except as represented in claim 6 (rotational movement) also the amount of semi-rigid bend would be limited by contact of one interlocking member's socket and the neck of a second interlocking member, whereas the connection would become unattached (angular movement within 3-diminsional space).
The ball on the left connector and socket on the right connector must match the size accepted by the receiving interlocking member listed in claim 9, therefore insuring that an incorporated interface's size remains undisturbed
