Quick-Disconnect Coupling System With Emergency Release Feature
US Patent:
7252533, Aug 7, 2007
Filed:
Oct 20, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/551693
Inventors:
William H. Lee - Petaluma CA, US
Assignee:
Interlemo Holding SA - St. Sulpice
International Classification:
H01R 4/38, H01R 13/648
US Classification:
439382, 439 63, 439675
Abstract:
A quick-disconnect coupling device for use in plug and receptacle style electrical connectors, fiberoptic connectors, pneumatic and hydraulic couplings or any other application where a secure quick-disconnect connection is desired. Under normal operation, the coupling device incorporates a sliding outer sleeve to activate and release latching features within the retention system, which engages with an appropriate mating receptacle. An emergency release feature is included to allow the coupling to disconnect at a selectable, predetermined axial pull-force on the rear of the coupler. The secondary release feature prevents damage to the components and, in many applications, increases personal safety, by providing an emergency release feature, while still maintaining standard coupling and decoupling functionality.
Keying System For Inter-Mating Connectors
US Patent:
2005016, Jul 28, 2005
Filed:

Peter Mueller - Santa Rosa CA, US
Joachim Vobis - Santa Rosa CA, US
International Classification:
H01R013/648
US Classification:
439680000
Abstract:
A system is provided for mechanically keying a number of cable connectors using a binary coding system to assure within a given set of cables that only one, unique matching set is defined. Binary keying is provided using 2×n holes aligned on each face of opposing key mounting surfaces, the holes aligned such that when a post is secured in a hole on one of such mounting surfaces, it will be received by a matching hole in the opposing mounting surface, provided said opposing mounting surface has been complimentarily keyed. The holes are arranged as bit pairs whereby each hole of the bit pair is assigned as the “0” and “1” position, the bit designated as either “0” or “1” depending into which of the paired holes a keying post is placed. By this system up to 2uniquely keyed combinations can be provided.
