US 4,832,608 A · Electrode belt adapter

Abstract

The electrode belt adapter assembly is for communicatively connecting the terminal end of a flexible electrode belt device to the cable end of an EGG apparatus having a plurality of leads at its terminal end. The electrode belt adapter assembly is comprised of a lightweight housing assembly having a lockable cover structure to provide access thereinto and having a first aperture and a set of second apertures to respectively provide communicative access of the electrode belt terminal end and the leads of the cable set end. A circuit board assembly having a plurality of connectors is integrally mounted within the housing assembly. An electrode belt connector assembly is mounted on the circuit board and is aligned with the first aperture. The circuit board assembly further has a connection network with a plurality of leads and post connectors at predetermined locations in electrical communication with the electrode belt connector assembly.

An adapter assembly to facilitate the electrical connection of the terminal end of a flexible conductive device to the leads of a cable assembly of an electrical diagnostic apparatus, said adapter assembly comprising:

(a) a lightweight housing assembly having an openable and lockable cover structure defining a plurality of apertures at one end and an elongated aperture at its opposite end,
(b) a circuit board assembly fixed within said housing structure and having a conduction network with a plurality of leads and having at one end a plurality of terminating connector means extending upwardly therefrom, said terminating connector means further being constructed and arranged on said circuit board in a predetermined configuration and being accessible through said cover of said housing structure, and
(c) a connector assembly mounted on the opposite end of said circuit board in communication with said conduction network and being aligned with said elongated aperture means of said housing assembly, whereby the connection of the terminal end of the flexible conductive device through said elongated aperture and into sai connector assembly permits a user to quickly and accurately provide communication with the electrical apparatus by means of the connection of the cable assembly leads to the terminating connector means through the plurality of apertures defined by said housing assembly cover structure.

An electrode belt adapter for communicatively connecting the terminal end of a flexible electrode belt device to the plurality of leads extending from a cable end of an electrical apparatus, said electrode belt adapter comprising:

(a) a lightweight housing assembly having ingress means to cover and provide access thereinto, said housing assembly further having first and second aperture means to provide communicative access of theelectrode belt terminal end and the leads of the cable end thereinto, said housing assembly further having hand-operable cover locking means,
(b) a circuit board assembly having a plurality of connector means mounted thereon and being integral with said housing assembly and further being aligned with said second aperture means, said connector means being connectible to the cable end of the electrical apparatus, said circuit board assembly further having a conductive connection network having a plurality of leads in communication with said plurality of connector means, and
(c) an electrode belt connector assembly mounted to said circuit board within said housing assembly and being aligned with said first aperture means.
