Abstract
A connector of the present invention comprises a sleeve, a latch, a stopper, a slider, a pressing projection, and a slider impelling section. The latch has locking projections that provide on both sides at the back end thereof in the transverse direction and a notch formed from the back end toward the front end of the latch. The slider is disposed behind the sleeve in the insertion direction so as to be able to move backward in the insertion direction with respect to the stopper. The pressing projection is disposed at the position of the notch in the latch and is securely coupled with the slider by means of a coupling section penetrating the notch. The slider impelling section presses the slider toward the stopper in the insertion direction.
Claims12
A connector that is inserted into an adapter for connection therewith, the connector comprising:
- a sleeve;
- a latch formed in one face of the sleeve, comprising a front end in the insertion direction into the adapter serving as a fixed end, a back end serving as a free end, locking projections that protrude on both sides in the transverse direction in the back end, and a notch formed from the back end toward the front end;
- a stopper disposed behind the sleeve in the insertion direction and securely coupled with the sleeve;
- a slider disposed behind the sleeve in the insertion direction so as to be able to move backward in the insertion direction by a given distance with respect to the stopper;
- a pressing projection disposed at the position of the notch on the other side of the latch with respect to the one face and securely coupled with the slider by means of a coupling section penetrating the notch;
- and
- a slider impelling section that presses the slider toward the stopper in the insertion direction;
- when the connector is connected, the latch being pressed down by pressing sections provided in the adapter, returning to the original state after the locking projections pass through the pressing sections, and being locked in the adapter when the locking projections are positioned at latching sections formed behind the pressing sections;
- when the connector is detached from the adapter, the slider being moved backward in the insertion direction against the pressing force applied by the slider impelling section, causing the pressing projection to press down the latch to release the locking in the adapter.
A plug comprising a connector that is inserted into an adapter for connection therewith, the connector comprising:
- a sleeve;
- a latch formed in one face of the sleeve, comprising a front end in the insertion direction into the adapter serving as a fixed end, a back end serving as a free end, locking projections that protrude on both sides in the transverse direction in the back end, and a notch formed from the back end toward the front end;
- a stopper disposed behind the sleeve in the insertion direction and securely coupled with the sleeve;
- a slider disposed behind the sleeve in the insertion direction so as to be able to move backward in the insertion direction by a given distance with respect to the stopper;
- a pressing projection disposed at the position of the notch on the other side of the latch with respect to the one face and securely coupled with the slider by means of a coupling section penetrating the notch;
- and
- a slider impelling section that presses the slider toward the stopper in the insertion direction;
- when the connector is connected, the latch being pressed down by pressing sections provided in the adapter, returning to the original state after the locking projections pass through the pressing sections, and being locked in the adapter when the locking projections are positioned at latching sections formed behind the pressing sections;
- when the connector is detached from the adapter, the slider being moved backward in the insertion direction against the pressing force applied by the slider impelling section, causing the pressing projection to press down the latch to release the locking in the adapter.
