Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a multi-point connector arrangement, and more particularly to such an arrangement for effecting positive mating relation between a plug having a plurality of connector projections thereon and a receptacle adapted to selectively receive each of the connector projections.
- the present invention seeks to overcome the problems associated with the prior art multi-point connectors by providing on one of a pair of housing members supporting male pins and female receptacles to be positively mated, a pair of laterally spaced locating member means adapted to hingedly engage a pivot rod supported by the other of the housing members.
- An alignment tongue is secured to the housing member supporting the pivot rod and serves to engage a cross plate fixed to the locating member means to urge the pivot rod into firm engage ment with the locating member means to ensure proper alignment of the male and female elements of the connector prior to effecting actual contact therebetween.
- the housing members include frame bars which are cambered, when considered in side profile, to effect a biased engagement of the centrally disposed connector pins with their associated receptacles when the housing members are brought into positive interconnection.
- one of the primary objects of the present invention is to provide a multi-point pin type connector which includes novel means insuring proper alignment of the pins with their corresponding receptacles before mating is effected.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-point connector including novel means to ensure positive contact between all the male pin elements and their corresponding female receptacles of the connector, both those along the edge of the housing members and those disposed centrally thereof.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-point connector as described wherein the means for insuring proper alignment of the connector pins and associated receptacles includes locating members adapted to engage a pivot rod, and an alignment tongue adapted to engage a cross plate in order to urge the pivot rod into positive engagement with the locating member.
- the novel connector device of the present disclosure finds useful application in effecting the connection of programs to the control circuitry of associated machinery to which the female receptacle of the connector may be fixedly attached.
- a different male plug is provided for each different program to be used, and in reprogramming the associated machinery, it is only necessary to use the particular one of the male connectors which has the desired program.
- FIGS. la and 1b illustrate a female receptacle and male plug, respectively, each having mounting frame bars and associated alignment mechanism in accordance with the present invention
- FIGS. 2a, 2b, and 20 show three successive stages of operation of the alignment mechanism during coupling of the female receptacle and male plug, portions being broken away for clarification;

- the cross plate 52 has a vertical dimension extending from the upper ends of the frame bars 10 and 12 downwardly such that its lower edge is spaced vertically above the upper end of the female receptacles l4, 16.
- the cross plate 52 preferably extends laterally outwardly from the frame bars 10 and 12 with its outer ends being provided with holes 54 for securing the female connector member 100 to a suitable support frame before the male connector 101 and the female connector 100 are connected together as described below.
- a similar cross plate 51 is attached to the other end of mounting bars 10 and 12 for use in attaching the female connector 100 to the same support frame.
- the lateral dimension of the forward portion 44 of the alignment tongue 40 is such that the forward upwardly inclined portion of the alignment tongue may be received between the laterally spaced frame bars 10 and 12 of the female connector member 100 and between the lower edge of the cross bar 52 and the upper edge of the female receptacles 14, 16.
- FIGS. 2a-c wherein end flange 34 of bracket 30 is broken away for clarification, positioning of the male plug connector member 10] approximately perpendicular to the plane of the female connector member 100, FIG. 2a, allows the pivot rod 38 to be readily received within the aligned grooves 48 and 50 of the locating means 46.
- the male connector member 101 With the male connector member 101 positioned with its pivot rod 38 received within the aligned grooves 48 and 50, the male connector member may be rotated downwardly with the alignment tongue 40 being received between the cross plate 52 and female receptacles 14, 16, FIG. 2b.
- the forward portion 44 of the alignment tongue 40 is inclined upwardly relative to the upper end 26 of casing 24.
- the angle of upward inclination is established to cause the upper surface of the forward portion of the alignment tongue 40 to engage the lower edge surface of the cross plate 52 and urge the male connector member 101 downwardly such that the pivot rod 38 of the male connector member 101 is firmly seated in the bottoms of the aligned grooves 48 and 50.
- the pivot rod 38 is disposed forwardly of the associated frame bars 18 and 20 (FIG. 1b) and cooperates with the aligned grooves 48 and 50 (FIG.
- FIGS. 3a-c illustrate schematically the side profile configurations of the frame bars 10 and 12 of the female connector member and the frame bars 18 and 20 of the male connector member 101.
- the side profile configurations of the pairs of frame bars are adapted to effect a biased engagement of the centrally disposed connector pins of the male plug sections 22a and b, 23a and b with the corresponding female receptacle sections and b, 16a and b when the male and female connector members are brought into positive interconnection.
- the male connector 101 has been properly engaged with the female connector 100 in the manner shown in FIG. 2b, and has been moved in the direction of the female connector 100 so that the upper pins of the two connectors are in mating relation.
