Abstract
The invention relates in particular to a fixed electrical connection member for use on an electronic device to connect an electrical conductor of the device to a mobile electrical connection member outside the electronic device, wherein the fixed electrical connection member includes, on a front face adapted to be disposed on the outside of the electronic device, a conductive circular track connected to said electrical conductor of the electronic device, inside the electronic device, on a rear face, by an electrical conductor disposed in a bore passing through the fixed member.
Claims22
An electrical connection device for use on an electronic device, the electrical connection device comprising a fixed member to connect at least one electrical conductor of the electronic device to a mobile member outside the electronic device, wherein the fixed member includes, on a front face adapted to be disposed on an outside of the electronic device, a conductive circular track connected to said at least one electrical conductor of the electronic device that is inside the electronic device, on a rear face of the fixed member, by an electrical conductor disposed in a bore passing through the fixed member, the mobile member clipping onto the front face of the fixed member;
- and
- wherein the front face of the fixed member is an outwardly exposed face of the fixed member upon disconnection of the mobile member from the fixed member;
- and
- wherein the mobile member clips onto to the front face of the fixed member to form a temporary connection between the fixed member and the mobile member that is configured for frequent manual disconnection and reconnection of the fixed member and the mobile member without the use of a tool.
An electrical connection device for use on an electronic device, the electrical connection device comprising a fixed member to connect at least one electrical conductor of the electronic device to a mobile member outside the electronic device, wherein the fixed member includes, on a front face adapted to be disposed on an outside of the electronic device, a conductive circular track connected to said at least one electrical conductor of the electronic device that is inside the electronic device, on a rear face of the fixed member, by an electrical conductor disposed in a bore passing through the fixed member, the mobile member clipping onto the front face of the fixed member;
- and
- wherein the fixed member further includes an electrical conductor on the outside surface of said fixed member for electrically connecting a circular portion of the front face to the rear face of the fixed member.
An electronic device incorporating:
- at least one electrical conductor intended to be connected to a mobile electrical connection member outside the electronic device;
- and a fixed electrical connection member to connect the electrical conductor to the mobile member, the fixed member including, on a front face adapted to be disposed on an outside of the electronic device, a conductive circular track connected to said electrical conductor of the electronic device that is inside the electronic device, on a rear face of the fixed member, by an electrical conductor disposed in a bore passing through the fixed member, the mobile member clipping onto the front face of the fixed member;
- and
- wherein the front face of the fixed member is an outwardly exposed face of the fixed member upon disconnection of the mobile member from the fixed member;
- and
- wherein the mobile member clips onto to the front face of the fixed member to form a temporary connection between the fixed member and the mobile member that is configured for frequent manual disconnection and reconnection of the fixed member and the mobile member without the use of a tool.
A connector, comprising:
- a male connector member fixed to an electronic device;
- a female connector member for connecting to and disconnecting from the male connector so as to electrically mate and demate with the male connector member, respectively;
- wherein the male connector member comprises:
- a front face having a conductive circular track that is outwardly exposed upon disconnecting the female connector from the male connector;
- a rear face having a first conductive member electrically connected to the electronic device;
- and
- a bore having a second conductive member electrically connecting the conductive circular track to the first conductive member;
- and
- wherein the male connector member and the female connector member include a mechanical coupling to provide frequent manual connection and disconnection between the male connector member and the female connector member without the use of a tool.
A connector, comprising:
- a male connector member fixed to an electronic device;
- a female connector member for mating and demating with the male connector member;
- wherein the mail connector member comprises:
- a front face having a conductive circular track that is outwardly exposed upon disconnecting the female connector from the male connector;
- a rear face having a first conductive member electrically connected to the electronic device;
- and
- a bore having a second conductive member electrically connecting the conductive circular track to the first conductive member;
- and
- the connector further comprising means for manually connecting and disconnecting the male connector member and the female connector member.
