Abstract
A connector comprises, a first connector housing having first metal terminals, a second connector housing having second metal terminals engaged with the first metal terminals provided with the first connector housing, and a locking device for engaging the first connector housing with the second connector housing. The lock device includes a spring receiving device, slidably disposed in the first connector housing, for receiving a repulsive force acting between the first and second connector housings through the spring receiving device, and a spring device, for applying the repulsive force to the first and second connector housings through the spring receiving member, disposed between the first connector housing and the spring receiving device.
Claims5
A connector comprising:
- a first connector housing having first metal terminals;
- a second connector housing having second metal terminals engaged with said first metal terminals;
- and
- a lock for locking said first connector housing to said second connector housing, said lock including:
- spring receiving means, slidably disposed in said first connector housing, for receiving a repulsive force acting between said first and second connector housings through said spring receiving means, said spring receiving means being adapted to be locked in a predetermined position in said first connector housing;
- and
- a spring, for applying said repulsive force to said first and second connector housings through said spring receiving means, disposed between said first connector housing and said spring receiving means, wherein when said first and second connector housings are locked to one another, said spring receiving means is locked in said predetermined position in said first connector housing, and wherein said lock includes means for simultaneously unlocking said first connector housing from said second connector housing and said spring receiving means from said first connector housing.
A connector, comprising:
- a first connector housing having first metal terminals;
- a second connector housing having second metal terminals engaged with said first metal terminals;
- and
- locking means for engaging said first connector housing with said second connector housing, said lock means including:
- a spring receiving means, slidably disposed in said first connector housing, for receiving a repulsive force acting between said first and second connector housings through said spring receiving means;
- and
- a spring for applying said repulsive force to said first and second connector housings through said spring receiving means, and being disposed between said first connector housing and said spring receiving means, wherein said lock means includes a driven arm provided with said spring receiving means and a flexible locking arm provided with said second connector housing, and said driven arm is driven by said flexible locking arm to disengage said spring receiving means from said first connector housing.
