Abstract
An electrical plug connection including a plug housing (2), a contact housing (3) complementary to the plug housing (2) and a bayonet ring (4) for locking the plug housing (2) in the contact housing (3). At least one spring element (16) acts on at least one movable rotary slide (6) and, when the bayonet ring (4) is turned so as to close it, exerts an increasing stress on the bayonet ring (4) and, in the event of the bayonet ring being incompletely turned to close it, unturns the latter into its open position. The bayonet ring (4) is locked in its closed position only when it is completely turned so as to close it.
Claims8
An electrical plug connection comprising
- a plug housing,
- a contact housing complementary to the plug housing and
- a bayonet ring for locking the plug housing in the contact housing,
- wherein
- at least one spring element is arranged to act on at least one movable rotary slide whereby when the bayonet ring is turned into a closed position an increasing stress is exerted on the bayonet ring and further whereby the bayonet ring is incompletely turned toward a closed position, the bayonet rings unturns into an open position, the bayonet ring being thereby locked in its closed position only when it is completely turned to a closed position, the spring element being unstressed when the bayonet ring reaches the closed position.
